The Big Boss & His Dainty Wife

Chapter 373: Chapter 373: Hard to Forget Him_1

Hai Xiaotang was stunned by her sudden question!

Seeing He Meilian’s firm gaze, Hai Xiaotang opened her mouth, but she had no idea how to answer.

“So you haven’t loved him for a long time, is that right?” He Meilian asked again.

Hai Xiaotang fell silent before answering, “Madam, a lot has happened between Dongfang Yu and me…”

“So there’s no going back?”

“…” She didn’t know.

Because both of them had distanced themselves from each other. He wanted to forget her, and she too had firmly determined to forget him.

He hurt her, she also hurt him…

Some damages had done, and they couldn’t be erased by suddenly not caring about them anymore.

Anyway, Hai Xiaotang didn’t know what to say. The relationship between her and Dongfang Yu was too delicate for outsiders to understand.

But He Meilian could understand her thoughts because she had been there.

“Xiaotang, if you don’t love him, or your love isn’t strong enough, don’t give Yuyu any hope. My son can’t bear any more heartbreaks. So if you’re not confident, please don’t give him any hope. This is the greatest plea I can make to you as his mother.”

With that, He Meilian left.

…

Hai Xiaotang sat alone in the garden for a long time.

She didn’t know what she was thinking about, neither did she know which way to go in the future. But Dongfang Yu’s mother was right, if the love wasn’t strong enough, she shouldn’t give him any hope.

Because an insecure love would end up causing heartbreak eventually.

Just like when Dongfang Yu fell in love with her initially, but his love wasn’t strong enough, hence he ended up hurting her.

So she didn’t want to make the same mistake again.

Because now, both of them couldn’t endure any more heartbreaks.

If the love wasn’t absolute, they both dare not have a taste…

But then, she realized that she seemed to find it very hard to forget him. Loving someone recklessly was something she dared not to do, yet letting him go completely was also beyond her ability, she felt like going crazy!

Why has it become like this, since when has she been so troubled?!

All of a sudden, Hai Xiaotang felt so irritated and confused about the matters of heart…

And then, with no way to vent, she started to run madly around the garden!

Her grandfather once said, if you’re feeling low or there’s a problem that you can’t figure out, just take a run.

Once you’re done running, everything will settle down.

So Hai Xiaotang did exactly that, running around the garden for a long, long time…

Her grandfather’s words were the absolute truth; temporarily, all her troubles were gone. But… who can tell her, why does her abdomen hurt this much?

Hai Xiaotang squatted on the ground, pale-faced with pain.

Just as Dongfang Yu returned home, he came to the garden to look for her, only to see her distressing look.

The man was stunned for a moment, then quickly rushed over to her, frowning with concern, “What’s wrong?!”

“It hurts so much…” Hai Xiaotang clutched her stomach and moaned in pain.

Dongfang Yu’s face hardened, “Why does your stomach hurt?”

Despite being in great pain, Hai Xiaotang felt embarrassed, “I just went for a run…”

Dongfang Yu was speechless, “Why on earth were you running?”

Despite the reprimanding tone in his question, he scooped her up and quickly carried her back to the bedroom upstairs.

As he laid Hai Xiaotang on the bed, she stirred in discomfort. Dongfang Yu’s gaze instantly fell on the white bedsheet that was now stained with a touch of fresh blood.

And Hai Xiaotang looked distressed and weak.

Taking all these into account, Dongfang Yu’s pupils constricted sharply, and his mind buzzed.
