∮ Fourteenth Movement: Bow Your Head, Where Is the Happiness? (1)

"En......" restrained my instantaneous weathered heart, and I pretended to be calm.

"Hope for the stars...... There are some things that you will regret for the rest of your life if you don't figure them out...... He's - not like us, not engaged, married!"

"But there are some things that are better than clear and never clear!" Resolutely turning around, leaving the loneliest back, I walked out of Min Zhiyi's office.

Even if it's wrong, I don't want to be a mere person anymore.

Don't want to! Don't think about it! Get married, it's nothing! Ling Panxing, one day, you will also become Min Zhiyi's real wife! You and him, the road of the two of you, have long been lost in front of the crossroads of the labyrinth, so ...... There will never be an intersection again!

Hatred is now the only energy that can pour into your life! Love is just the ultimate temptation of this world to ignorant human beings!

A person, quietly left the company and walked on the street with little human feelings. Passers-by, hurrying by...... The streets, unlike the jubilation of four years ago, are more indifferent to each other......

Before I knew it, my feet were on the green lawn in front of Yves Saint Laurent.

Spring is just around the corner......

Breezy, fresh, floral, elegant and sweet......

The rain of petals, entwined on the branches, disturbed one after another......

The air is filled with sacred and solemn melodies, which shake people's hearts.

As if I had lost my soul, I took my steps and stepped into the church...... The long empty and silent hallway, the dreamy and gorgeous red carpet, the glittering cross......

Everything was as pure and perfect as the day I got engaged......

What exactly is marriage to me? maybe...... Just a deal...... A deal that can't be cried, laughed, or regretted......

So what about him? Is it a deal? or is it ...... Expiation?

Standing in front of God and making a lifelong promise, what kind of mood will you have in front of you?

Even after all the ups and downs, I still don't understand why...... Will the bond between us be so deep?

What clings to the depths of the soul is love...... Or hate?

With my hands folded and my eyelids lowered, I was deeply immersed in this piece of peace.

I'm tired, I'm really tired...... I've never been so exhausted...... Perhaps, walking on this long road of thorns, I forgot to add the heaviest and most indifferent armor to myself, or perhaps, from the beginning, I felt the sharpest and most merciless scars with my naked feet......

I still love him, no matter how much I try to deny it, no matter how much I dig my nails deep in my palms, it is an undoubted fact.

What should I do?

Why did I get so bad?

Perhaps, as early as four years ago, everything was doomed, doomed love, doomed sweetness, doomed separation, doomed reunion, doomed hatred, doomed bond......

Happiness, perhaps, from the day Daddy left me, was at the end of the world, and was gone......

Back at the villa, it was already late at night, Min Zhiyi sat in front of the sofa with the remote control in his hand, and kept adjusting the stage, seemingly a little upset.

After changing my slippers, I quietly walked to Min Zhiyi's side: "Why are you abusing the TV?"

As if startled by my sudden voice, Min Zhiyi looked at me with wide eyes: "When did you come back?"

"Why, you're waiting for me?"

"I ......" stopped talking again, and Min Zhiyi's struggling eyes told me that something must be wrong!

Straightening up, I slowly walked to Min Zhiyi's side and sat down: "Say, what's going on?"

Raising his head and looking directly at me, Min Zhiyi's expression was serious: "Ling Panxing...... If—if I told you that I was already in love with you, and begged you, don't leave me, would you choose me?"

Looking at Min Zhiyi in disbelief, my heart simply lost its beating center.

"How, how...... Yes, I'm already engaged to you......" Turning my head, I knew I couldn't help it.

"It's just an engagement, isn't it? Even if you get married, you can still get divorced......"

"I'm not a casual person!" I don't understand why he's so abnormal all of a sudden, but I hate people doubting me the most!

"Your mommy called and asked you to go back to Hong Kong once, she has something to tell you!" Standing up, Min Zhiyi changed his previous gentleness.

"What's the matter?"

Leaving me a back, Min Zhiyi disappeared into the living room: "You'll know when you go!"

Mommy is in a hurry to find me? What could it be?

So, all night, I tossed and turned in my own unfounded speculations.

Early the next morning, I took the fastest flight to Hong Kong......

Min Zhiyi didn't come with me, and although I invited him, he told me that the company couldn't be left unattended. I know he's running away from something, because the company isn't that busy!

Hong Kong...... The sea breeze is still pleasant! Open the car window, and the scenery along the road flashes in front of my eyes. The fresh breeze slapped my cheeks violently, a long-lost comfort, which made me feel intimate.

I received a call from Mommy and she asked me to go to the cemetery in Happy Valley, where Daddy was buried.

All-European style buildings, large and small tombstones are scattered in the cemetery, stepping on heavy steps, along the ropeway of memory, I finally stood in front of "Daddy".

"Mommy...... I'm back" Seeing Mommy's back standing in the cold wind, my heart throbbed slightly.

Turning around slowly, Mommy's face looked very pale, I think, she must have endured a lot in the past few months......

"Panxing, why are you hiding it from me?! Do you know what you did!"

"I ......"

Interrupting me, Mommy looked at me with such sharp eyes for the first time: "You child, you have been like this since you were a child! You don't listen to persuasion! Marriage is the most loyal vow of human beings, how can you make fun of this? Do you know how many people will become victims of your lies?"

Under the cold wind and falling leaves, my long hair is raging and flying, my tears have turned into the most crystalline soul, how aggrieved I am, how sad I am.

"Don't I want to be like Mommy, to have someone who loves me and loves me to be my husband......? What can I do? Do I have a choice? No! No! No!! I don't have the ability to let the people I love love me, and I don't have the energy to find new happiness, and I don't have the right to ask Eros to give me more favors! What can I do! What can I do!" The empty cemetery echoed with my suppressed voice.

The corners of her eyes were already glowing, and Mommy hugged me: "Child, it's Mommy, Daddy is sorry for you...... I'm sorry you ......."

I shook my head desperately, biting my lower lip tightly, and I sobbed.

Stroking my long hair, Mommy's voice was as calm as water: "Let's go back...... Go find Chun and he will forgive you......"

"I don't want to! I can't forget how he killed Daddy!"

"Kid...... Ay...... It wasn't him who killed your daddy, maybe, I should have told you the truth in the first place, I really didn't expect that you would be impulsive enough to take revenge on your life's work...... Actually, at the beginning, it was your father who asked Chun Su not to tell you the news that he was seriously ill. Because, your father's heart disease, only the heart of the immediate family can be saved, your child's character, we parents do not know, if you are told, you will definitely die on your father's land, and if you don't let you save, you will definitely feel guilty for a lifetime...... So, at that time, we discussed with Chun Su to hide it from you......"

“……”

What is Mommy talking about? How am I ......? Why don't you seem to understand? He ...... He......

No, how could it be?!!

God, don't joke with me!

"Liar, are you lying to me?" How is it possible, I tried my best to get revenge, but in the end, it turned out that I was only taking revenge on myself?

"I'm sorry, Mommy should have told you earlier, I thought that if you calm down, you and Chun Su will be reconciled......"

"No! No! Even so, Daddy will get sick because he bought the Ling family, and later, he said that he wanted to return the Ling family, but he didn't return it!"

"He bought the Ling family, but your father's illness had worsened long before that...... Moreover, later he sent someone to return the company's shares to your father, and it was your father who personally called him and asked him to handle the company on his behalf, because your father's illness no longer allows any more work, if it weren't for his help, the Ling family would have fallen a long time ago, and it must be very hard for him to manage two companies as big as two people......"

"Impossible...... No way...... It's impossible to !! "Tears have broken the embankment, God, this joke you made with me is a bit too big, I Ling Panxing can't afford it, and I can't afford it!"

"This is the document he sent yesterday morning...... If it weren't for that, I still don't know what stupid thing you've done!"

Taking the file from Mommy's hand, I opened it......

This is...... Ling's 53% share certificate......

And on the certificate, my name Ling Panxing is written impressively!

"When his secretary came to deliver the documents yesterday, he told me that Ling's shares have been transferred to your name since half a year ago, but they are just ...... Now, he thinks that he may not be able to help you take care of the Ling clan anymore, because someone has already taken his place......"

The heart suddenly felt a suffocating pain, tangled, and piercing......

Tears, like beads with broken strings, can't be stopped......

My soul was trembling, my body was involuntarily, and everything would be nice if it was a dream!

Ten fingers clasped tightly, nails, deeply embedded in the palm, I finally knew, the original ...... It's my own hands...... Lost happiness......
