When we reached the long corridor outside the banquet hall, where the air was much fresher, I took a deep breath. Actually, I knew I shouldn't have come to an occasion like this.
Maybe it's because I'm an unlucky person, so no matter where I appear I'll get in trouble. Should I not continue to stay here?
Actually I know that Xiao Wei is avenging me, it's just that I really don't want to see the people I care about pester and hurt each other.
Forget it, I better return to my seat early and tell Xiao Wei that it's fine if I go back by myself.
Thinking this way, I turned around. When I raised my head, I saw Bo Lengqing, who was standing not too far away from me.
I wanted to pretend I hadn't seen him and walk away from him, but he spoke first.
"You … How have you been with the children? "
"Yes." I didn't dare to speak to him. I was afraid that if I said even one more word, it would expose my reluctance to leave him.
"Why are you so haggard? "You didn't eat much just now. Is it because your appetite isn't good?"
Unexpectedly, he actually took the initiative to pay attention to me.
"This is my problem, it has nothing to do with you." I answered coldly.
No one knows, my cold reply, the heart surging with a heavy love.
Just as I was about to enter the hall, he grabbed my arm. In that instant, I felt as if my heart had stopped beating. I tried my best to keep my heart calm as I raised my head to let my voice calm down.
"Second Young Master Bo, what are you doing now?"
I said as I looked at his hand that was grabbing onto my wrist, "You shouldn't have forgotten, we are already divorced. Wait a moment, if Miss Lin sees it, then I will be pretending to be pitiful and sympathizing with you again."
He's been staring at my face, and I think I must be having a really bad look right now. Even under the cover of makeup, I'm afraid I can't really hide it.
"Is there something you're hiding from me?" He was staring into my eyes.
"What can I do for you? Young Master Bo Er, we have already bridged our way back to the bridge, we will part ways here and we will be safe for the rest of our lives. "
"Su Cha!" His expression immediately darkened, and the strength to grab my wrist increased. "You know I hate it when people lie to me!"
His words surprised me. He didn't like to be lied to, but the woman he loved the most had lied to him for who knows how many times.
I lowered my eyes and took a deep breath. "Would you believe me if I said I was sick and dying?"
He frowned: "Su Cha, this is not funny."
I nodded and smiled at him. "That's right. It's not funny, so from now on, neither of us should interfere in the other's life."
I pulled my hand away from his, along with the last of the warmth.
Bo Lengqing, Mu Chen, we should not get to know each other anymore.
I stumbled forward a few steps, and suddenly I heard his voice behind me.
"Su Cha!"
I stopped.
"I don't know why, but I've been seeing you in my dreams recently. Whenever I think about what happened to you in the past, my head will start to hurt. Tell me, in the past, why did we have to be together?"
His heart felt like it was being held tightly by someone, causing him to still feel pain.
"Since you can't remember, then don't think about it anymore. Since I've already forgotten everything, then forget about it. I wish you and Lin Ran a day. I wish you two happiness, I wish you two …"
I was going to say a hundred years is good, but I couldn't get the words out of my mouth.
"Su Cha, you have to be fine." His voice was low.
Just at this time, Huo Ting ran out to catch up because he was worried about my health, and just happened to see Bo Lengqing and I standing there. He immediately walked over to me and took off his jacket and draped it over my body.
I looked at him for help. He immediately understood and placed his hand on my shoulder.
I leaned into his arms in an intimate way.
"Thank you for your blessings. I'm fine. Huo Ting is also very nice to me. The two of us will be fine."
He didn't say anything, but I noticed the hostility in his eyes as he looked at Huo Ting.
Perhaps everyone was like that. Even those whom he did not love, would possess a possessive desire for her that he should not have.
"Huo Ting, I'm a bit tired. Let's go back."
Huo Ting escorted me to the car. I leaned wearily against the driver's seat and closed my eyes.
"Sorry to trouble you today."
"It doesn't matter. If this is troublesome, then I like to be troubled by you." His voice was as gentle as ever, making me feel guilty.
I know that a person like me who doesn't know when to trade and enter the gates of hell shouldn't give him any hope, but facing the man I love the most, I couldn't help but be selfish for once.
"Huo Ting, I don't have much time left to live."
I opened my eyes and looked at his gentle side profile.
"I won't just watch you leave."
He pulled the car to one side and looked me in the face with a serious, burning gaze. He reached out and grabbed my hand.
"Su Cha, let's make a bet."
"What?"
"If you can continue to live, then why don't we both give it a try?"
I subconsciously touched my belly. "I've already missed the best treatment time. I …"
"Agree to it first, okay?"
"Huo Ting, I already have a child. Even if I managed to escape death and survive, I have to take care of my child. Furthermore, you are too young and have yet to get married. "Why are you …"
If you are willing, I can raise this child as if he is my own child. No matter if you can continue to live, I will treat him as if he is my own child. Su Cha, promise me.
There was a hint of longing in his voice. I don't know what virtue I have to make such a man act like that for me, but I know that if it's for his own good, I shouldn't hold him up any longer.
"Why do you have to go through all this trouble?" I sighed.
"I want you to live on. I want to see this world with you. If you are willing, then I will accompany you no matter where you go."
I turned my head away, unable to bear to see the gleam in his eyes.
"Huo Ting, I'm a dying man. I can't promise you anything."
He was silent for a long time before starting the engine again.
After that day, he hadn't visited Xiao Wei's house to see me for a long time. The moon in my stomach became bigger and bigger, and I knew that my end was coming closer and closer.
I knew my body's condition, and was no longer suitable for me to stay at home, so Xiao Wei directly sent me to the hospital where Huo Ting was.
After not seeing him for more than a month, he had lost a lot of weight and become haggard. However, when he saw me, his gaze was focused on me.
In order to be my own child, I insisted on not taking chemotherapy, vomiting more and more times, and the pain became more and more intense.
Every day, I would stay in the ward for a few hours of conservative treatment. Towards the end, my stomach could only swallow food.
With my body unable to keep up with the diet, I was worried that it would endanger my children, so I had to endure the pain and nausea every day as I ate the supplies.
Even though I know I won't be able to eat for long before I spit it out with the blood.
Fortunately, the child in my belly was very successful. Even though my body had reached the end of its tether, it was still trying to thrive in different ways. Several times, it was still healthy.
I looked at myself in front of the dressing mirror. A small scratch of my fingernail could have knocked a lot of my glossy black hair off my head.
After that, I lay in bed for more and more days, and I couldn't even get out of bed to walk anymore.
Thus, when the child was almost nine months old, waves of intense pain came from my abdomen. Even though I have no experience in this field, I know that perhaps he was impatient to get out.
The day that I gave birth to my child was the day that Bo Lengqing and I would get married.
My child, perhaps because he was unwilling for his father to marry another woman, is impatient to be born into this world.
But, he really came a little too early …
