Chapter 44: Reluctant Love
I don't know much about Tao Wanxin's father, but I have met him a few times, and I know that he loves his daughter, but I have never seen his angry face and tone so unfriendly like today.
Tao Wanxin definitely didn't expect his dad to suddenly appear with such an attitude, obviously, her face became a little anxious, she didn't listen to her dad and went over immediately, but stood in place and said to her dad, "Dad, why are you here?"
Father Tao didn't want to say anything, but said in a deep voice with a straight face: "You come here, come home with me!"
At this time, my heart suddenly clicked, and I could see that Father Tao wanted Tao Wanxin to stay away from my rhythm, and I felt that the beauty I longed for in the office and Tao Wanxin was gone in an instant, and I was afraid, afraid that the happiness that had just arrived would be gone.
Of course, Tao Wanxin also realized this, her face became ugly, but she was also very tough, she directly rejected her father and said, "I won't go back!"
I believe in Tao Wanxin, she will swear to protect our hard-won love, her character is straightforward, all thoughts are written on her face, it's just that I know Tao Wanxin, her father knows her better, he came this time, not to discuss with Tao Wanxin or anything, but to forcibly take Tao Wanxin home.
However, Tao Wanxin refused to leave, she was forced to be anxious, and she shouted at her father: "I won't leave, why do you care about me, after my mother died, did you take care of me, I cried, did you care, I was bullied, did you help me, I was sad, did you comfort me, now I'm happy, but you take care of me, why are you?"
Tao Wanxin became more and more anxious the more she talked, and finally cried out, she completely yelled out all the grievances through this time, and I finally saw her heart clearly, since her stepmother entered the door, Tao Wanxin actually didn't really be happy, fortunately, with her cousin by her side, it would not make her completely depressed and degenerate, so even though her father cares a lot about her now, she still has a shadow that she can't forget before, and she is still blaming her father.
Tao's father knew her daughter's temperament, and seeing that Tao Wanxin was like this, he didn't dare to be too anxious, so he could only look at me, and then slowly walked next to me and said softly: "Let's talk alone!"
After speaking, he took the lead and walked to the open area next to him.
Tao Wanxin took my hand and didn't let me pass, and I could tell from her eyes that she was worried that her father would embarrass me.
I patted her hand, gave her a firm look, and told her to wait, and then I walked over to Father Tao and stood straight.
To be honest, I am in awe of this majestic man from the bottom of my heart, perhaps, I have regarded him as my father-in-law.
It's just that this father-in-law didn't have me in his heart, he looked at me over, first glanced me up and down, and then said seriously: "Ge Tian, are you still wearing a mask?"
As soon as he said it, I felt a little embarrassed, and indeed, after the little white face, I am afraid that the whole world will know my identity, and it is completely meaningless to wear a mask again, so I quickly took off the mask and said with a wry smile: "I'm sorry, I'm used to it!"
Father Tao stared at me with his fierce gaze and continued: "Ge Tian, you once rescued Xin'er from the hands of the mountain eagle, for this, I do thank you, but you must know that you were the one who caused Xin'er to be arrested. So, I don't owe you anything. Originally, it was nothing for you and Xin'er to be together, all I wanted was Xin'er's happy and healthy growth, as long as you could bring Xin'er happiness, I wouldn't interfere, but now, no!"
My heart tightened, and I immediately asked, "Why?"
Father Tao snorted coldly and said: "You should know this in your own heart, you don't know what trouble you have caused today, right? You kid offended the Chen family and the Luan family regardless of the consequences, I heard that the sons of the Luan family are angry, the strength of the two of them can hold up half the sky in this city, seeing that this half of the sky is going to crush you to death, do you still plan to pull Xin'er as a backstop?"
Tao's father's words hit my sore spot, even if I want to deceive myself, I can't escape this reality, I know, I know very well, I have caused a big disaster, but my selfish heart makes me still want to use my ability to protect Tao Wanxin, in fact, I have not thought about it rationally, this will affect her and harm her.
Seeing that I was shaken, Father Tao hurriedly hit the railway while it was hot: "Ge Tian, I can ignore anything about your family background and your education, but you are now in deep danger, this is related to Xin'er's safety, I, as a father, must take care of it, and I must take care of it, I can't see my daughter being hurt, if you are really for Xin'er, I beg you, leave her, don't let her jump into the fire pit with you, okay?"
My heart hurts, but my head is unusually clear, the more sober it is, the more it hurts, I know what I do to be good for Tao Wanxin, but I just can't bear it, and I can't promise her father anything.
Father Tao was a little angry when he saw that I still didn't speak, so he began to say to me a little unceremoniously: "You should think about your situation, touch your heart, and see what you should do." I am Xin'er's father, I know her, she left a shadow in her heart when she was a child, so she has lacked love since she was a child, you are good to her, she will feel a thousand times, so, she feels that she likes you very much, she is actually a moment of brain fever feelings, the more profound, the more dependent she is, if you really have her in your heart, you will take advantage of the fact that she has not completely relied on you, quickly cut off this love, cut off the relationship. ”
His words are becoming more and more naked, that is to say, as long as he is there, Tao Wanxin and I will have no future, he asked me to touch my heart, my heart is indeed beating for Tao Wanxin, if it is just for impulsive love, I will press my heart, live and die with her, but this kind of love is too selfish, just to satisfy my own love desires, regardless of the other party's life and death.
I haven't lost my mind, I've not been carried away by selfish love, I really don't want the woman I love to be hurt, perhaps, letting go is also a way to protect, letting go, is true love.
For Tao Wanxin, I am willing to bear all the pain and face all the dangers alone, and Tao's father, as a father, he is not wrong, and I also understand him, so I endured the heartache and endured reluctance, and said to him with difficulty: "You take her away!"
Father Tao finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw me compromise, but then, he sighed again and said, "If I can take her away, why do I have to tell you so much here, you also saw it just now, Xin'er refuses to leave with me, so I hope you can help me persuade her to let her go home with me, okay?"
My eyes were sore and my chest was full of panic, but I tried my best to restrain my emotions and said with difficulty again: "Okay!"
Father Tao finally smiled at me and said gently, "Thank you!" After speaking, he took the first step and walked towards Tao Wanxin, and I immediately followed.
At this moment, Tao Wanxin was standing not far away, looking at us dryly.
Father Tao approached her, afraid of irritating her, so he stood aside and did not speak.
And I, straight in front of Tao Wanxin, said firmly: "Xin'er, go home with your father!"
It seems so ordinary, but when I say it in this situation, it sounds like an eternal secret. Tao Wanxin obviously felt the meaning of her words, her eyes immediately showed fear, and deep reproach, she didn't reply to me, but turned her head directly to her father and yelled, "What did you tell him?"
Seeing Tao Wanxin like this, my heart hurts even more, but I am a man, a man who loves her, I can only cruelly say to her: "It's none of your father's business, I want you to go home!"
Tao Wanxin's aggrieved tears swirled in her eyes, and she could see that she was very scared and sad, she choked up and said to me: "Why, don't you want me?"
I swallowed the bitterest bitter water stuck in my throat, and said bitterly: "No, how is it possible, fool, I won't hide it from you, I offended a very powerful person, he will retaliate against me, if you stay by my side, it will be dangerous, so, you go home first, stay away from me, so that you will be safe, and your father can protect you, understand?"
Tao Wanxin cried out, she burst into tears, and shouted to me: "I don't want to, you offended people because of me, how can I leave you at this time? Besides, if I leave, aren't you in the same danger?"
I said bitterly: "No, it has nothing to do with you, he is my former enemy, I have an account with him sooner or later, only if you leave, I can give it a go without worry, understand? Don't worry, I won't be in danger, have you forgotten? I am a big hero in your mind, who can threaten me!"
Although Tao Wanxin is simple-minded, she still doesn't believe my lies, she seems to be able to see through all the pain in my heart, she cried and insisted: "I don't want to, I don't want to leave you, don't, don't!"
God knows, she is like this, my reluctance to hide it is almost impossible to hide, I am reluctant, I am reluctant to never see Tao Wanxin like this, I am reluctant to cherish this feeling that I want to cherish so much, but the reality is so cruel, Xiaoyue and Tao's father have reminded me one after another, I am really in extreme danger, I am not sorry to die, but I can't hurt Tao Wanxin, thinking of this, I once again hid that deep reluctance into my heart, and then gritted my teeth hard, and roared at Tao Wanxin: "If you don't leave, I will break up with you!"
This is the first time I have been angry at Tao Wanxin, and it is also the most painful and helpless time, only this time, it completely scared Tao Wanxin, she cried even more fiercely, her eyes were very flustered, and she was at a loss.
And I, my heart is uncomfortable, but the surface can only be bloodless indifference, Tao Wanxin saw me like this, she was scared, a little compromised, she said to me pitifully: "If I go home, then when can I come to you!"
I continued to suppress a thousand emotions, and said hoarsely: "When I solve the troubles around me, I will go to you, you listen to your father!"
The sadness in Tao Wanxin's eyes became heavier and heavier, she was about to collapse, she didn't want to leave me so much, but she could only choose to believe me, she wiped the tears on her face vigorously, and then stretched out her little finger and said to me: "Pull the hook, promise me, you must come to me early!"
I began to tremble a little, but I forced myself to be shocked, at this moment this hand seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, it was so difficult to lift up, I slowly, painfully, stretched out my little finger, hooked her, and said, "It will definitely be!"
Tao Wanxin's tears rolled in her eyes again, but this time, she forcibly did not flow out, but suddenly stood on tiptoe and kissed my lips lightly, affectionately and painfully: "I'll wait for you!"
With that, she quickly turned around and got into her father's car.
Before getting in the car, Father Tao came to my ear and reminded me, "Thank you, but please remember not to come to her again!"
With that, he also strode away, got into his car, and the car quickly drove away.
And I, with hazy eyes, watched the car gradually disappear, watched Tao Wanxin's little head stick out of the window, crying and waving to me until it disappeared in front of my eyes.
At this moment, my ears are buzzing, Tao Wanxin's three words I am waiting for you are ringing in my ears at various frequencies, I am waiting for you, I am waiting for you.
What she is waiting for is that the big hero in her heart really gets everything done and keeps his promise to find her, but this promise is so difficult for me.
There is a wall that blocks my life, hinders my destiny, and even stifles my love, this wall is Luan Yu, why did I lose everything before I even started the battle with him?
Boss Wang was jealous of him, he didn't trust me, he wanted to fire me, Father Tao was jealous of him, and took Tao Wanxin away, my whole world was suddenly so dark, my heart was torn into thousands of petals, my eyes were moist, I wanted to cry out loud, but, the dog's brothers were all around, I didn't want them to see my vulnerable side, I have been forbearing, the whole person is about to collapse, but I still endure.
Perhaps, even God knows that I can't help it, I am too aggrieved, the dark sky suddenly sounded a thunderclap, and in an instant, the heavy rain poured down on this desolate night, it wet my clothes, sprayed my face, confused my eyes, under the cover of the rain, my tears finally broke the embankment, I didn't cry, just crazy tears.
In the rainstorm, I looked so desolate and miserable, and the dogs, cow dung, and dumb people, none of the three of them pulled me, nor did they persuade me, perhaps, they also understood my broken heart, and they were accompanying me to vent.
The four of us, standing motionless in the empty bar street, let the torrential rain beat uncontrollably.
