Tang Hongbo watched as Chen Xi got into a car parked in front of the company's entrance. He saw that it was Han Hao very clearly, he had heard that Han Hao had something going on and went back to France, so he must have come back now.
"Why are you so happy to see me back?" Han Hao saw Chen Xi in a good mood as she opened the car door and sat inside.
"Am I a child? How could there be trouble? " Chen Xi said as if she found it funny.
"That's good."
"Alright, let's drive. I'm starving." Chen Xi said with a smile.
"Alright, Ah Ran is already waiting for us in the dining hall." Han Hao said as he started up the car.
"Hotel? Who's treating? " Chen Xi asked.
Han Hao did not say anything, he quietly looked at her for a few seconds, causing Chen Xi's hair to stand on end.
"Really?" My treat? "
"I'm back. Shouldn't you help me wash up?" Han Hao said with a smile.
Chen Xi said while grinning.
"It's not wrong to say that, but I feel that it's a bit too much for you two guys to ask a little girl like me to treat you?"
"I don't think so." Han Hao drove the car seriously.
"Don't you feel bad about your conscience?" Chen Xi asked again.
"It can't be." Han Hao replied.
Chen Xi said dejectedly, and then looked as if she was resigned to her fate.
"Fine, fine, on account of you, I'll treat you to a meal."
Han Hao looked at her and smiled gently.
Chen Xi had always known that Han Hao was a very gentle and very gentlemanly man, and of course, knew how he treated his.
Because in her heart, Han Hao had always been a good friend that she could talk about everything with, an elder brother that she could always rely on. She did not want this relationship to deteriorate, and she did not want to lose a good friend that she could rely on.
Thus, she always pretended that she did not know anything. This was the correct way to get along with him.
Along the way, they chatted and laughed. Soon, they arrived at the restaurant.
As soon as he entered, he saw Chen Yiran and Tony.
"Mummy, I'm here." Tony waved at Chen Xi.
Chen Xi smiled and walked towards them.
Just as he sat down, Chen Yiran started to scold Han Hao.
"I thought you wouldn't be back until after the new year?" Chen Yiran snorted.
"What, you miss me?" Han Hao joked.
"What do I want you to do? It's just that I'm too bored and want to talk to someone." Chen Yiran cast a sidelong glance at him and replied in disdain.
"Is that so? "How did I hear that you are so busy trying to coax someone that you are actually bored?" Han Hao said as he poured Chen Xi a cup of water.
Chen Yiran immediately turned to look at Chen Xi, while Chen Xi quietly held up the water on the table, pretending not to hear anything. In short, the happiest thing on Han Hao's side was Chen Yiran.
Because if someone brought Tony2, no one would become a light bulb, and he could chase Meng Qingxia properly, he had been waiting for Han Hao's return.
But Han Hao never thought that he would receive a call on the first day he returned here.
At this time, Han Hao brought Chen Xi and Chen Yiran back home. Before he even had the time to change his clothes, his phone rang.
"It's already so late, you still want to go out?" Chen Yiran saw Han Hao going downstairs, dressed as if he was going to go out.
"Yes, there's something. Let's go out for a bit." Han Hao said softly.
"It's already so late, what's the matter? Can't we go tomorrow?" Chen Yiran looked at the watch on his wrist.
"It's fine. I'll go and take care of it. I'll be back soon." Han Hao laughed.
"Okay, do you need me to go with you?" Chen Yiran asked.
"No need, Chen Xi and Tony are at home, there's still someone at home tonight." Han Hao said with a smile.
Chen Yiran nodded.
"Alright, let's go out at night. Be careful of your surroundings."
Chen Yiran started the car and drove towards the city center. He felt a little stuffy, so he casually opened the window.
He could even imagine what it would be like later.
In a coffee shop that was open 24 hours a day, Tang Hongbo ordered a cup of coffee that he always drank. As he watched the coffee cool down bit by bit, he thought that the person he was waiting for would not return.
But the door of the coffee shop that was quiet in the middle of the night was suddenly pushed open. Tang Hongbo's back was facing the door as a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Boss Tang."
The moment Han Hao sat down, he greeted with a smile.
"Director Han." Tang Hongbo also replied.
"I thought the Boss Tang would meet at a place like a bar. I never thought that Boss Tang would choose such a literary and artistic place. " Han Hao said while laughing softly.
"Bar? I never go there, does Director Han want to drink? " Tang Hongbo asked with a smile.
"To suddenly ask me out in the middle of the night, does it mean that I have a job to discuss?" Han Hao raised his head, looked straight at him, and asked softly.
"There's no need to talk about work, there's no need to test each other, we can't beat around the bush. I've invited the Director Han over, I believe you should know about it, right?" Tang Hongbo looked at Han Hao as his voice suddenly grew very cold.
Han Hao lowered his head and laughed.
"Boss Tang is really direct. Since you said it like that, then say it clearly, what do you want to do?" Han Hao asked coldly.
"Leave her." Tang Hongbo spoke very quickly without a trace of hesitation.
Han Hao lowered his head and laughed.
"Boss Tang sure knows how to joke around. If you want me to leave, then I have to leave? "And the reason?"
"Director Han must also know the relationship between me and her since you said so right? Could it be that this isn't the reason for you to leave?" Tang Hongbo said with confidence.
"I think the person who should leave is you, right? What qualifications do you have to make me leave?" Tang Hongbo said.
"What qualifications?" Then let me tell you right now, just because I'm Tony's father, just because I'm Xi Xi's husband. " Tang Hongbo said word by word.
Han Hao had already known about it, but hearing him say it himself, he was still a little shocked. Chen Xi had already told him before, he still held a glimmer of hope that Tang Hongbo would give up.
Tang Hongbo saw that he was not the least bit shocked, and was still as calm as ever. He knew, he must definitely know.
"You knew it, Xi Xi told you?" Tang Hongbo asked.
She really was lying to him. She didn't lose her memories at all. Why, why did she lie to him? Tang Hongbo couldn't understand it no matter what, and she couldn't help but look at Han Hao. He must know something, but he definitely wouldn't tell his, Tang Hongbo thought.
"Since you know, then you shouldn't ask. Since you gave up, then you shouldn't have turned back. You've already caused her pain once, do you still want to repeat the same mistake?" Han Hao asked harshly.
"What do you mean? Do you know something? " Tang Hongbo suddenly asked seriously.
"What do I know, I don't think I have any reason to tell you, nor should I tell you, I will protect Creek and Tony. If you really are doing it for her, then stay away from her, this is what you should do, not telling me here to leave." Han Hao looked at Tang Hongbo and said with incomparable emotion.
"Truly laughable. My child and wife, there's someone here right now telling me that he's going to protect you. Do you think that's possible?" Tang Hongbo's entire body was releasing anger.
But Han Hao didn't care about his anger at all, and calmly said while looking at him.
"Wife? Child? Now you actually dare to say something like that. I'm afraid in her heart, she already isn't a wife anymore. You abandoned her and now you want her to return to your side, do you think that's possible?
"I have never abandoned her. I don't know what she misunderstood, but she has always been the only one I love." Tang Hongbo suddenly said in a soft voice.
"Love? She has long since ceased to need your love, because it will cause her pain, so just pretend that you don't know her from now on. " Han Hao said.
"No, I won't leave her. I've been looking for her for the past three years, and now that she's back, do you think I'll give her up?" Tang Hongbo said indifferently.
Suddenly, he stopped and continued.
"She, did she tell you what happened three years ago?"
"Don't say I don't know. Even if I did, do you think I'd tell you?" Han Hao said as he looked at him.
"I knew it would be like this. It doesn't matter if you don't tell me, at least I've already confirmed one thing. I still have to thank you." Tang Hongbo lowered his head and said.
"What do you mean?" Han Hao asked.
I know what happened three years ago, so I will investigate it thoroughly and thank you for coming here tonight, Director Han. "This time, Xi Xi said in a low voice. Tang Hongbo did not thank him for his hard work.
Tang Hongbo did not hope for Han Hao to be able to tell him what had happened in the past three years, but it was not as if he had not reaped any rewards either.
He was unable to describe the feeling in his heart — happiness, disappointment, anger, all of it.
He didn't know why she would lie to him like that.
When Tang Hongbo left the coffee shop, it was already early in the morning. He hadn't talked to anyone about Chen Xi like this for a long time, and although he was still confused about it, it made him even more convinced that something had happened three years ago.
The wind of late at night blew against his face, but he did not feel the slightest bit of coldness. Perhaps it was because his heart was even colder, but Han Hao's words had made him very passive tonight.
