Chapter 13 Parting Ways Xiaoqing Covenants Three Things
Zhao Hai has been widowed for three years, has no one to take care of his life, and has no one to talk to him when he is lonely. His daughter was also sick with him. He also had the idea of remarrying, but he was afraid that his new wife would not treat his daughter well, so he dispelled this idea.
Zhao Hai saw that Xiaoqing was dignified, kind-hearted, and got along well with Panpan, so he had plans to marry Xiaoqing again. He also knows that no matter who he remarries, he must first obtain his daughter's consent.
Otherwise, even if he meets a good confidante, he will not marry her. He would never sacrifice his daughter's happiness for his own happiness. He made his intentions clear to his daughter. His daughter was thrilled and encouraged him to pursue Xiaoqing boldly.
Father and daughter work together, and their strength is broken. With his daughter's permission and encouragement, Zhao Hai should have let go and chased Xiaoqing. But he seemed to cower on the road to love and happiness. He didn't even dare to boldly show his love to Xiaoqing. He just knocked on Xiaoqing's side to show his heart. He felt that his actions had paid off, because every time he said it, Xiaoqing was always embarrassed and evasive.
Xiaoqing did feel Zhao Haiai's gesture. She also has a good impression of Zhao Hai. She thinks that Zhao Hai is a young and promising good man who loves his daughter. However, she could not marry such a good man.
She has already made her heart clear in front of everyone: she only loves Hou Jing in this life and this life, and she will not marry any other man. The oath still rings in my ears. She didn't want to be a backsliding. Therefore, when Zhao Hai showed her love again, she bluntly refused.
In the face of Xiaoqing's refusal, Zhao Hai was not discouraged. Good things are grinding. The roads in the world are not all smooth, and there are also bumps. The same is true of the path of love. In pursuit of love, Zhao Hai is still working hard.
Panpan's birthday has arrived. In order to celebrate, Zhao Hai ordered a birthday cake for Panpan, and Xiaoqing also made a table of delicious dishes for Panpan. They celebrated Panpan's birthday at Zhao Hai's home. Zhao Hai turned off the lights in the living room. Xiaoqing lit a birthday candle for Panpan. The two elders sang "Birthday Song" for Panpan by candlelight.
"Panpan, make a wish. After singing "Birthday Song", Xiaoqing said to Panpan.
Panpan clasped his hands together, and there were words in his mouth:
"I hope my dad and my teacher can be together forever. ”
Panpan's words made Xiaoqing stunned. It was a long time before she urged Panpan to blow out the candles. The candles went out, and the room was pitch black. Under the cover of darkness, Zhao Hai plucked up his courage and grabbed Xiaoqing's hand.
"Panpan's wish is also my wish. Xiaoqing, you can marry me. I will be good to you mother and son for the rest of my life. ”
"Please let it go. I'm old and decrepit, I have a child, and you're an executive in a big company, young and promising, I really don't deserve you. ”
"Don't say that. You and I are the same as each other. We are all people with children. As long as you want, we can get married tomorrow. ”
"Please forgive me. I can't marry you. ”
"Why?"
"I made a vow at my beloved's grave that I would never marry again in this life and in this life. ”
"Your lover would have agreed to marry you if she had known that you were orphans and widows were having such a hard time now. After you marry me, I promise to let your mother and son have no worries about food and clothing. ”
"Teacher, you can marry my father. ”
"Xiaoqing, marry me. Zhao Hai knelt in front of Xiaoqing, took out the diamond ring, and held the open ring box in his right hand.
Xiao Zhenhuan is also clapping his hands in celebration. Xiaoqing was really hard to ride a tiger, so she had to reluctantly agree. However, she also asked Zhao Hai to promise her three things.
"If you want me to marry you, you have to answer me three things. ”
"What three things?"
"First, you and I will honor Hou Jing's parents together; second, you must love Xiao Zhenhuan as your own son; third, Xiao Zhenhuan can only be surnamed Hou, not Zhao. ”
"I promise you everything. ”
Xiaoqing had nothing more to say. Zhao Hai was also very happy to put on a diamond ring symbolizing eternal love for Xiaoqing.
