Sea Gu came out of the restaurant in a rage, glaring at Zoey with hatred, walking two steps, and glaring at her again with annoyance. It was like he wanted to eat her whole.
“You have no righteousness, no blood, no … nothing!” Sea Gu cursed in exasperation, looking like he was about to cry.
Zoey rolls her eyes and pulls the door open to get in, unimpressed.
“Really, you can’t fight her. I’d advise you to be a good boy and admit your mistake, and beg her to sign the papers sooner rather than later.” She, in all sincerity, suggested.
“Hey, I begged her? How could I possibly beg her?!” Sea Gu crossed his arms, exasperated. Thinking of something, he poked his head in again, narrowed his eyes, and looked at Zoey , “I mean, whose friend are you anyway? Why are you helping her and not me?”
“Come on in, it’s raining outside again!” Zoey called out as the rain outside only stopped for a moment before it started pouring again.
Sea Gu was angry, but he didn’t abuse himself. He got into the car and glared at the restaurant, cursing a few more times before starting the car. Thinking about those humiliating things just now, Zoey still felt funny. She didn’t dare to rub salt in his wounds, so she covered her mouth and secretly enjoyed herself.
“That’s enough out of you!” He warned her in a nasty tone.
Zoey’s holding back, afraid to make a move.
When I got home, it was already a blur outside. Stopping the car, Zoey said goodbye to him, “I’m going in by myself, drive carefully in this rain.”
“You don’t have your umbrella, I’ll walk you in.” Sea Gu grabbed her and took off the jacket he was wearing and pulled it over his head. “It’s not far, I’m okay.” Zoey would have refused, but Sea Gu had already trotted around to her side, both of them scrunched up in his big jacket.
Zoey’s heart warmed slightly and she laughed at him, “Now you’re not complaining about my lack of loyalty?”
“Hmph! If I watch you go in like that, does that make me as unrighteous as you?” He grunted as he toppled his shirt inside. Afraid Zoey would get wet, he leaned the shirt toward her again.
“Then, seeing as you’re so righteous, I’ll make you a very constructive suggestion that will ensure you take the file.” Zoey proposed to him sincerely.
“What’s the suggestion?”
“Seduction. You know that, right? Aren’t you good with women, so …” Zoey was saying, when she looked up, and all her words, stopped on her lips.
She, with a step in her footsteps, froze on the spot. Sea Gu was about to urge her to continue, when he saw that her face did not look right, he also looked over suspiciously, and this time, he also stopped.
Far from …
Through the curtain of rain, one could only see that long figure, holding an umbrella, standing right there. The umbrella wasn’t big enough to cover his entire body. The pouring rain had already drenched his entire body. His line of sight, stationed in Zoey body, through the heavy rain curtain, Zoey can feel that the bleak and gloomy …
In his chest, a twinge of pain.
What’s he doing here all of a sudden? How long has he been here? His face looks so pale. Is he freezing?
With the tip of her nose, she got out from under Sea Gu’s clothes and ran. Against the rain, she ran straight towards the figure.
It took a very, very close distance to see clearly that his lips were already frozen black and blue, holding the umbrella and just standing there, his sight straight as he watched her walk towards him. On the peaks of his eyebrows, there were icy raindrops floating, in such a cold day, almost all of them froze into ice.
“What brings you here? Something important come to me?” Zoey heard her voice become choked. She’d told him she wouldn’t be home at night, so why was he waiting here? And, how long had he been waiting?
He smiled a shallow smile, in such a rain curtain looks so unreal. Zoey just feel their heads clear a sky, Jerry Xiao will be in the hands of the umbrella complete cover her, but he stood in the rain, “Happy Valentine’s Day … This is a gift! …”
His voice, an astringent …
Even the eyes, are permeated with bitterness …
Slowly, he reached out toward her, holding an unusually delicate gift box in his hand.
Zoey took it and her fingers touched his.
She shuddered.
Because, his whole being was so cold it was frightening.
Fingertips, completely devoid of temperature, a few degrees cooler than ice.
Zoey felt a twinge in her heart, and her hand trembled slightly as she held the gift box. She wanted to say something, but he suddenly threw away the umbrella, a long arm, locking her into a tight embrace. The rain instantly soaked each other, and she shuddered, hearing his dark voice, choking in the rain, sounding broken and painful.
“You guys, you’re together, aren’t you?”
He held her whole body tightly, with a strength that seemed to hold her into life. As if by loosening it a little, she would disappear from his arms.
It hurts … to be held by him …
But Zoey wouldn’t even struggle for a second.
His eyes were watery and his face was cold and he didn’t know if it was tears or rain.
“All day, I am warning myself not to mess … If he can give you happiness, if he can accompany you for life, I should be wise to give up you … “Because, he can not give her In the future, he can’t give her a white head and old age, and even more so, he can’t give her any promise …
The word ‘give up’ he uttered made Zoey hurt so much that even her heart pumped coldly. Suddenly, it choked up …
His trembling voice, continued.
“I’ve thought about it all day, I’ve been conflicted, I’ve been jealous, but I still can’t do it … I admit, I’m selfish, even if I’m going to die tomorrow, but right now at this moment I’m not willing to let go of it … nor can I …”
Heart, hard, Zoey cried out in pain as she buried herself in his shoulder. Tightening his arms, he embraced him back.
He had never been a man of love words, but she felt that at this moment, the words he uttered were the best words in the world …
She didn’t know if she should trust him again, but, at least, at this moment, she heard the sound of her heart … that strong, that fiery …
This man, she loved with everything she had. Never, never left any room … for error. “Fool, you won’t die … you’ll live … the children and me, all want you to live … ” she choked, murmuring over and over in his ear. His moist cheeks, greedily rubbed her little face.
He couldn’t let go of her … really … in this life, no way to let go of her again …
…
Looking at the scene in the rain from afar, Sea Gu couldn’t tell what kind of feelings he had in his heart for a moment. The rain poured down, also drenched him. So he tore off his jacket and lazily carried it in his hand, only looking at the pair of people embracing each other in front of him with bewilderment.
It’s really strange! Obviously, I don’t like Jerry Xiao, but at this moment, when I saw them embracing each other again, I actually want to wish them good luck with some amusement.
Because …
It’s amazing how beautiful and touching he feels watching this scene …
It’s as if, something called ‘deep love’ is surrounding them …
Raise his lips, cloudy smile, turn around, all wet back to his car. Looking at that scene, thought it must be heartbreaking, after all, that woman is their own real heart like people. However, at the moment the heart coiled more is actually blessing and relief …
The car, sliding away in the rain. He thought that he should go to a bar and get drunk, and use since to pay tribute to this serious unrequited love that had ended before it had even begun. And then …
Returning to his original panache …
“Zoey!” With a stern shout, the Baker family’s fence gate was pulled open from the inside.
Zoey, startled, looked up at the sound and saw her father and mother leading a number of people out of the house. All of them were holding umbrellas. Through the rain, Zoey could still feel the strong disappointment from the elders.
A shiver ran through his heart, and he visibly felt his grip tighten.
“Dad, Mom …”
“You come here.” Sam Baker looked at her gravely, almost commanding in a tone that brooked no argument.
Zoey didn’t move, Jerry Xiao took a step forward and was about to say something, but he heard Sam Baker had already taken the lead, “You shut up! This is our family’s business, there is no room for you, an outsider, to speak!”
A harsh, cold cry made Jerry Xiao freeze for a split second.
Yami Hu holds an umbrella over Zoey’s head. She reached out and took her by the hand, “Zoey, come home with mom! Don’t make your father angry, your father’s health is not good, he can’t be angry!”
Thinking of her father’s physical condition, Zoey stiffened. Jerry Xiao, however, took her hand, grasped it firmly, and looked insistently at Yami Hu, “Auntie, I’m sorry …”
“Don’t tell me you’re sorry, it’s too late for anything now! You let go quickly! And don’t ever come to our house again, you’re not welcome in our Baker family!” Yami Hu scowled and didn’t even raise his eyes, obviously not even wanting to look at him.
“I love your daughter … with all my heart,” he said, still gripping Zoeyas firmly as ever , looking at Yami Hu with eyes that were all prayers. It was as if he was hoping that they would give him another chance.
Yami Hu didn’t even bother to listen to him, and just held his daughter, “Zoey, come inside with mom!”
“Mom, let me talk to him, please …” Zoey looked at her mother prayerfully.
Yami Hu’s face didn’t half ease up, but instead became more and more serious because of her daughter’s prayers.
“Butler, find someone to pull back the second miss!” Sam Baker ordered categorically, his face covered with a layer of frost, simply colder than this winter day, Zoey winced, only to feel Jerry Xiao’s hand gripping his own, getting colder and colder.
It’s so cool that it doesn’t have the slightest temperature …
The rain, clattering down, he couldn’t even open his eyes. But, just stubbornly refused to let go.
The butler and two other servants rushed up and, without saying a word, forcefully tore Zoey away from him.
Fingertips and fingertips, a little, a little apart …
The warmth of each other’s hands, in each other’s hands, a little, a little disappeared …
“Zoey!” Jerry Xiao wanted to grab her back with all his might, but he stumbled and was unable to take another step forward. Under the cold and heavy rain, he only felt that his legs were as painful as if they were filled with lead, and it was difficult for him to take a step.
In the end, can only watch her, was a group of people frame, disappeared in their eyes …
He wanted to speak up and call them out …
However, the ebony lips, moved, only to realize that it has been frozen even voice can not be issued …
Vocal cords, as if they were frozen …
…
“Dad, I just want to talk to him.” Zoey pleaded, turning back and forth worriedly. How could he stand it with all this rain and him standing there frozen? Idiot! He should have gone back to his car!
“Not allowed! Haven’t you had enough? Haven’t you had enough?”
“Mom …”
“Good boy, listen to your father.”
…
No matter how much Zoey pleaded, the two elders would not relent. Forcibly dragged into the house, Sam Baker finally locked the door himself.
Zoey practically flew to the window, only to see the figure still there.
