Chapter 1889: Is Mr Li Afraid?
Tang Xiaoyu paused and looked at Mr Li with a calm gaze.
“Mr Li, everything I have now is given to me by you. Don’t worry, no matter what happens to you in the future, I, Tang Xiaoyu, will stand here to take care of you and accompany you. If you like Duo Duo, she can also take care of you. When she grows up, she will also know how much you have done for her. Thank you very much for liking Duo Duo like this.”
Tang Xiaoyu blinked her eyes as gratitude flashed across them.
“This is a small matter. You have to think about it carefully. There will be many chances to meet Gu Zhengrong like this in the future. If you think that he still has feelings for you today, I advise you not to be so heartless. After all, you loved him so deeply in the past. Now that you suddenly want to hurt each other like this, I can’t stand it anymore.”
Mr Li recalled how Gu Zhengrong had looked at Tang Xiaoyu when they were about to leave. He had seen that look of deep love before.
“Mr Li, are you afraid?”
Tang Xiaoyu, who had just thanked Mr Li, had a cold look in her almond-shaped eyes.
Other people might not know about the pain Gu Zhengrong had caused her, but Tang Xiaoyu knew that even if she had Duo Duo now, she could not hide the pain he had caused her.
Those dark days, those days when she was alone, those nights when he was on her body and calling another woman’s name…
If not for all the disappointment and sadness, Tang Xiaoyu might have felt that she still had not left Gu Zhengrong. At least, she would not have met him like this.
“Why would I be afraid? I’ve seen all kinds of storms in my life, so what’s there to be afraid of? As for you, have you ever thought about Duo Duo? Have you ever thought that I can support you and Gu Zhengrong to fight for business? What about Duo Duo? Do you really plan to make her not know who her father is?”
Mr Li smiled as he watched Tang Xiaoyu sink into deep thought. His voice became more sincere as he said, “Xiaoyu, I think you guys can…”
“Mr Li, I know that you’re doing this for my good and Duo Duo’s good, but Duo Duo has me now. She doesn’t need this man to be her father. I’m just borrowing one of his cells. The moment I decided to return to the country, I already knew all the pain and sadness I’ve been through for so many years. I’ll definitely get over it, so you don’t have to worry anymore. Mr Li, thank you for being willing to stand on my side. This is the last time I’m answering you seriously. I, Tang Xiaoyu, will never regret what I’ve done to Gu Zhengrong.”
Tang Xiaoyu’s eyes were filled with hatred as she looked at Mr Li with even more determination.
“Alright, as long as you’re happy, I’ll give you 100 million for this ring. Even if it’s 1 billion, I’ll give it to you.”
Mr Li had nothing to say and could only express his support. Since Tang Xiaoyu had thought of everything herself, as a spectator, he had nothing to say.
It was clear who was the slave and who was the master of this love.
“Xiaoyu, Duo Duo is going to speak soon. She is so smart. I’m thinking of finding her a pre-school teacher recently.”
“Mr Li, Duo Duo is only five to six months old. There’s no hurry. She’s still young, if she’s really smart, she’ll definitely be able to learn pre-school education even if she doesn’t take it seriously.”
“Sigh… Xiaoyu, you have no idea. When I was young, it was precisely because books could last for years. When I was young, my family was poor and had many children, so they couldn’t afford to raise a scholar. I came to America by chance. My fortune was only founded by my own business.”
Mr Li began to talk about the hardships he had suffered during his entrepreneurship. He talked about his original intention for doing charity. Thinking of his past, Mr Li wanted to tell Tang Xiaoyu about some interesting things that happened during his hardships.
“And then, Mr Li, did you finally send that little wolf back?”
She listened intently.
Mr Li recalled that when he was young, he was playing sheep in the grassland but he encountered a pack of wolves. In the end, when everyone in the village rushed over, he unexpectedly picked up a small wolf. The puppy was petite like a newborn and it was difficult to see its appearance. It was actually an exceptionally adorable pet.
“No, that little wolf was about to freeze to death. I carried it back and died not long after.”
When Mr Li mentioned the little wolf, his voice became low and weak. He still remembered that night when the wolf pack had almost completely surrounded the small village. That night, the howling of the wolves almost scared everyone in the village out of their wits. However, Mr Li saw the female wolf in his backyard under such circumstances.
The female wolf stood at the entrance of the backyard and looked straight at Mr Li. Mr Li was holding a washbasin in his hand and was emitting a slightly hot white steam.
The man and wolf faced each other in the courtyard for a long time. No one knew what exactly happened that day that caused the wolf pack to leave this small village.
“Mr Li, Mr Li, what’s wrong?”
Tang Xiaoyu looked at Mr Li. He had a dazed expression, as though he had yet to walk out of his memories.
Mr Li could no longer remember what happened that night. He only knew that when the she-wolf left his house, it happened to turn around and look at his mother, who was standing beside him. She was still hugging her newborn sister and looking at the she-wolf nervously and fearfully.
“Ah, what?”
Mr Li returned to his senses and looked nervously at Tang Xiaoyu.
“Mr Li, are you thinking about the past? Are you thinking about that little wolf?”
Tang Xiaoyu looked at him uneasily.
“It’s fine, it’s fine. Xiaoyu, how long will it take for us to reach home? I’m afraid Duo Duo will have to wait for a long time at home.”
“Mr Li, are you feeling unwell?”
Tang Xiaoyu looked at Mr Li with concern. She did not know what was going on in his memories, but Mr Li’s condition was worrying.
“It’s fine, don’t worry about me. I’m not related to you in any way. Go do your own things, I’m fine.”
Mr Li waved his hand, signaling her to stop asking.
“Mr Li, are you really fine? Why don’t we get a doctor to take a look at you when we get home? No matter what illness you have, we’ll find out.”
