She didn't want to believe it. She would rather believe it was an accident than believe it was a car crash she had deliberately made to get the tape.

The moment the car door closed, Chen Xi felt that it was a little hard to breathe, her mind was filled with the scenes of Duan Wenyu and her confrontation.

Chen Xi painfully lowered her head, her hands desperately grabbing at her collar.

"Medicine... medicine..." Chen Xi said in pain.

Tang Hongbo immediately stopped the car and took out the medicine from her bag.

He glanced at the description and immediately poured out a pill. Then, he took out a bottle of mineral water from the drawer.

He unbuckled her seat belt and held her against him, letting her take the medicine.

Throughout the entire process, his hand, which had always been calm and composed, suddenly trembled uncontrollably.

He felt that he should be the one to suffer in this life, to live in self-blame for the rest of his life.

He regretted …

If time could be reversed, he wouldn't want to meet her again. If he didn't, she wouldn't be in such pain right now.

So he regretted it. If he hadn't met her, her life would have been perfect. Marrying a man who loved him, having a cute child, and living a light and happy life, that was what belonged to her.

He shouldn't have let her meet him and put her in danger.

He held her hand and could not help but tremble. He wished that the person who was feeling weak right now was himself.

"Sorry to scare you." Chen Xi smiled with a pale face.

"No, Xi Xi, let's get married." Tang Hongbo's brainless words suddenly made the confused Chen Xi even more confused.

"What?" Chen Xi asked softly.

"Let's get married." What he was saying was neither a joke nor something he had said on the spur of the moment.

He knew clearly in his heart that since the situation had become like this, he would definitely not let her stay outside.

He wanted to bring her with him at all times. He wanted to tell the world that his most beloved woman was called Chen Xi and his wife was called Chen Xi.

This was the only thing he wanted to do right now.

"What are you joking about?" Perhaps it was because she had taken the medicine that she felt much better, so she looked at him and asked coldly.

"You know, I'm not joking around. Xi Xi, you're destined to be my, Tang Hongbo's, wife in this life." Tang Hongbo said tyrannically.

Chen Xi had mixed feelings about this matter. When Tang Hongbo mentioned marriage with her, it was originally very contradictory. In fact, she was still his wife legally, but her name was already different.

"Why?" Thousands of words turned into this.

"Because I love you." Tang Hongbo was not stingy about his sweet words.

Chen Xi felt that this answer was flawless, making it impossible to refute.

In fact, she really didn't know how to reply. She turned her head and looked out the window. The cold wind had woken her up a little.

"Do you love me and we're going to get married? Did you ask me if I ever loved you? " Chen Xi's voice was soft and weak, but it carried an unwavering refusal.

I know you love me, just like I love you. Xi Xi, the three years that we missed was already the biggest regret in my life. Tang Hongbo reached out to support her shoulders, then turned her around, forcing her to look at him.

Looking at my eyes, Xi Xi, no one can be like you, who can affect all of my emotions, and no one can be like you, who can endure my bad temper, who can be like me, who can not love you, who have all of your willfulness and playfulness, Xi Xi, give us a home. Tang Hongbo's passionate confession caused Chen Xi to cry, but she still didn't know what to do.

"Actually, you already knew about it, right?" Chen Xi looked at him and asked in the end.

Chen Xi didn't know how the conversation ended that night, but she knew that Tang Hongbo had nodded his head in the end.

She wanted to ask something else, but nothing came out.

After staying silent all the way home, it was already very late when Tang Hongbo sent her home.

Watching her get off the carriage, Tang Hongbo could only speak softly.

"Xi Xi, there's going to be a press conference tomorrow. Forget it, I'll come and pick you up myself. "

Chen Xi nodded.

Seeing her turn around and walk in, the smile on his face disappeared.

Finally, he was able to take off those mask masks of feigned calmness. He raised his fist and smashed it against the steering wheel, one, two, three times …

However, this pain did not seem to lessen the self-blame and pain in his heart.

As expected, when Chen Xi walked in, her complexion was not well, but she looked even worse.

Han Hao swallowed the rebuke that was just about to leave his mouth.

He came forward to look at her pale face and asked with a sigh.

"What happened?"

Chen Xi didn't say anything and only reached out to hug him.

Han Hao was in a daze, and then he hugged him back and asked gently.

"What's going on?"

"Brother Han Hao, tell me, why do people's hearts have to be so complicated, why are there so many schemes and conspiracies?" Chen Xi laid on his shoulder, and asked sorrowfully.

Han Hao smiled and comforted his.

"This world is not as beautiful and simple as you think it is. It is a complex place with many people's hearts, do you still not understand it? The law of survival in this society, a world where the strong preyed on the weak, the era of kings had passed. Now, weren't there many people who didn't rely on scheming or scheming to survive? If you don't scheme against others, others will scheme against you, so in the end, you have no choice but to become like that, Brook. I know you are very kind, but sometimes, in order to survive, kindness doesn't necessarily work, do you understand? " Han Hao said softly.

"I understand, thank you Brother Han Hao."

She had been tricked by Duan Wenyu three years ago, and she was also tricked by her three years later.

She had always felt that she was just a spoiled young lady, but she hadn't thought that she would be a crazy paranoiac driven mad by love.

If it wasn't for the sudden car accident where someone had saved her, she would have died in her meticulous calculations.

She didn't want to do this. She wanted to give her a way out, but she forced herself into a corner.

Perhaps the only remaining kindness in her heart had already been used up by her. No, to someone like her, there was no kindness in her at all.

Since she didn't leave him with a way out, he couldn't blame her for stopping him along the way.

She knew what Duan Wenyu cared about the most. After all, it was for a man.

Since she cared so much about Tang Hongbo, then let her not be able to get it in her entire life. This was the best punishment.

To let her see him and Tang Hongbo falling in love was perhaps even more unbearable than to let her die.

Thinking about that, Chen Xi suddenly picked up the phone beside her bed.

She familiarly dialed a string of numbers until she heard Tang Hongbo's voice coming from the phone.

"Didn't you say you were going to marry me? I agree, but I have two requests. "

Tang Hongbo remained silent for a moment before asking in a low voice.

"What request?"

"Firstly, I want a grand wedding, the kind that the whole world knows."

"I promise you, what else?" Tang Hongbo asked.

Chen Xi's hand that was holding the phone was already drenched in sweat.

"Xi Xi?" Until Tang Hongbo called him with suspicion.

"I want the entire Duan Clan as my betrothal gift." After Chen Xi finished speaking, Tang Hongbo who was on the other side of the phone suddenly went silent.

She knew that Tang Hongbo could do it, but she could only see if he was willing to.

"Alright, I'll surely offer up the Duan Clan with both hands." Tang Hongbo's voice sounded relaxed and satisfied.

"Alright." Just as Chen Xi was about to hang up the phone, Tang Hongbo suddenly asked.

"Xi Xi, are you awake now?"

"Never was I more awake." Chen Xi said.

Other than Tang Hongbo, what Duan Wenyu cared about the most was the title of the Duan Clan's Eldest Miss that she was most proud of. Her natural sense of superiority was detestable to many people, and even she herself did not know.

If she didn't have the status of the Duan Clan's Eldest Miss, she would be penalized like this. It should be enough for her.

It wasn't that she wasn't kind, but that she felt that kindness could no longer affect her.

Tang Hongbo returned home as fast as he could and found Ah Mu and Secretary Wang already waiting for him.

Tang Hongbo didn't even have time to change out of his suit before he dove head first into the study room. Ah Mu and Secretary Wang respectfully stood in front of the desk.

"Ah Mu, you go first." Tang Hongbo looked at him.

"Young Master, I saw the location of the missus' incident …"

"No sign of a brake?" Tang Hongbo continued.

"How do you know?" Ah Mu was a little surprised.

"I'm going. The surveillance cameras nearby probably haven't found anything, right?" Tang Hongbo asked.

"Indeed, even if we find out, it would be useless. I found that car in a used car home at the scene of the accident. It has no license plate and no suspicious traces. It was probably thrown there by someone. It seems like the other party is a very cunning person." Ah Mu said.

"Seems like it really wasn't an accident. Where did she go at night?"

"Duan Clan." Ah Mu said.

"Duan Clan?" Where is she going? " Tang Hongbo asked.

"I'm not sure." Ah Mu spoke the truth.

"I got it, Secretary Wang, how is the arrangement for tomorrow?" Tang Hongbo asked.

It's a white truck. I asked the people below to check it out, it's a water delivery company. However, they said that the car was indeed theirs, but that day the car suddenly disappeared, so they probably have nothing to do with it.
