Seeing the seven stacks of banknotes that Xiang Xiaoyuan took out, Cheng Hao only felt that a thunderbolt was muffled above his head.

He froze for a moment, and it took him a long time to see clearly the banknotes that were neatly tied with a special bank seal, red as the color of blood, and he suddenly felt that everything was lost.

Cheng Hao silently put down his chopsticks and stood up, left the dining table without saying a word, came to the study, took out the contract he had signed with Xiaoyuan from the safe, stretched out his arm and handed it to her, but turned his face to the side and didn't look at her.

"You're free!" he said, dropping the piece of paper and turning into the bedroom.

Xiang Xiaoyuan was confused by his attitude, and suddenly a large piece of his heart was missing.

Maybe she should have thought of his reaction now, or maybe it was completely different from what she thought.

His cold attitude now made her not know what to do, he really returned the contract to himself so easily, and didn't say a word.

Cheng Hao went back to the bedroom to close the door, and then threw himself on the bed.

He suddenly felt like a joke, he tried his best, but in the end it was all in vain. The bond between him and her was nothing more than a thin page, and she finally tried her best to get rid of him.

She had always been like this with a cruel smile to hurt him through, and he buried himself in the quilt like a wronged child who didn't know who to talk to, and licked his wounds alone.

Eventually, he fell back into the endless darkness and despair.

Something slipped from the corners of his eyes, and his nose and mouth were full of that salty bitterness.

He had never found himself so vulnerable, and all his self-confidence and strength were vulnerable in this moment.

Xiang Xiaoyuan stood stupidly at the door of Cheng Hao's bedroom with the paper contract book, and hesitated for a long time before raising his hand and knocking on the door. Again, silence to the point of suffocating non-response.

Xiao Yuan thought about it, plucked up the courage to push open the door and walked straight to his bedside.

Knowing that Xiaoyuan came in, Cheng Hao turned over like a child, ignored her, and continued to wrap himself like a silkworm chrysalis and pretend to be dead.

"Hey, what are you doing here? Xiao Yuan let out a low breath and said cautiously.

Cheng Hao didn't move.

Xiang Xiaoyuan had no choice but to stretch out his hand and push him: "Get up, go eat." ”

"I can't eat it!" Cheng Hao suddenly felt a burst of anger from his heart, and he couldn't hold it anymore, he lifted the quilt and sat up and yelled at Xiaoyuan: "Is it the last supper? Do you think I can still eat? Xiang Xiaoyuan, are you so eager to get rid of me? Okay, you got your wish, you can go! What do you care about me?"

Seeing his angry appearance, Xiao Yuan suddenly became happy: "Why are you so angry? I didn't say I was leaving......

Only one sentence, Cheng Hao's anger and the second half of the sentence were all suppressed back to his heart, he stared straight at Xiao Yuan, and it took a while to understand the meaning of this sentence.

"Okay, okay, let's eat! Do you know how long I've been busy? Don't waste it, okay?"

Xiang Xiaoyuan reached out and dragged him up from the bed, and then took his arm and dragged Cheng Hao, who was still black-faced, to the dining table.

"You said you wouldn't leave?"

Cheng Hao stared at Xiaoyuan with his eyes, for fear that she would regret it, as if he would evaporate from the world if he couldn't see her at a glance.

"I won't go unless you drive me away. I just wanted to pay off my debts, and I didn't say I was leaving. ”

Hearing Xiao Yuan's words, Cheng Hao flattened his mouth and turned his face to one side not to look at her, and then threw the bowl over: "Rice!"

Seeing the child-like expression on his face, Xiao Yuan wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and obediently filled him with a bowl of rice and sent it to him.

"You...... Are you really not leaving?"

He had always thought that she was in a hurry to pay off the money just to leave him, and he tried his best to hope that this day would come later. So he raced against time day and night, just to come up with the greatest evidence to resolve the remaining contradictions before the day came, but she didn't leave now that she paid off the money.

"Why should I go?" Xiaoyuan seemed to hear a very funny question: "It's good here, the salary given by the boss is not low, the work is relatively easy, and the benefits are good, how much I can't think about leaving!"

Seeing her squinting her eyes like a little fox's bad expression, Cheng Hao suddenly laughed, and the big stone in his heart instantly moved away, and those fires suddenly disappeared.

"You stinky girl, why are you in a hurry to pay me back?

Xiao Yuan blinked at him with big eyes, then picked a few grains of rice with chopsticks and chewed them in his mouth, slowly lowering his eyelids:

"That's because I want to sit here and talk to you as an equal. I don't want me to have to stay here just because of the money. ”

Cheng Hao was stunned for a moment, he suddenly understood something, his eyes turned red all of a sudden, and then he took Xiao Yuan's hand in the palm of his hand.

Xiao Yuan smiled at him, her smile was faint, but in Cheng Hao's eyes, it was like the first ray of light when a person wandering in the dark saw the exit, it seemed inconspicuous, but it made people so excited and shocked.

"Let's eat!"

Xiao Yuan took out his hand, and then suppressed the same waves in his heart, as if the clouds were light and the wind was light.

"How do you scrape together enough money?"

He chatted seemingly casually.

"I earned some of it, I borrowed it from friends, and I paid it back from others. ”

She replied calmly, the money was not easy to make, and she didn't expect to pay it off so quickly.

Cheng Hao didn't ask anything, but got up and went to the study to get a velvet-wrapped nanmu box from the safe.

"This is for you, I was thinking of finding a suitable time, just today!"

He wanted to give it to Xiao Yuan as a wedding gift, but he suddenly changed his mind, he knew how important Xiao Yuan's decision today was to him, and he had to show something.

Xiang Xiaoyuan wiped his hands and gently opened the exquisite box, only to see a jade bracelet with a hollow gold entwined branch pattern lying there quietly.

Seeing this bracelet, Xiaoyuan stood up in shock and almost knocked it over.

"How did this bracelet end up with you?"

She placed the box on the table and became emotional.

Cheng Hao smiled: "That time I took you to Lin Junran to pick a diamond, I saw that you liked this bracelet, so I bought it." ”

Xiao Yuan covered his mouth and was about to cry, but after calming down for a long time, he said, "Did you give it to me?

Cheng Hao didn't expect her to be so excited, so he took her hand and asked her to sit down first, and then said softly word by word: "Yes, I bought it for you!"

After that, he took out the bracelet and wanted to put it on her, but Xiao Yuan grabbed his wrist:

"If you give it to me, can I give it to someone else?"

Cheng Hao was stunned for a moment, a little surprised, but didn't ask anything, but still smiled and said: "Of course, now this is your thing, just how to deal with your happiness!"

Xiang Xiaoyuan suddenly began to cry, she cried for a while and laughed for a while, and pressed the box with the bracelet to her chest, and it took a long time to calm down her emotions.

Cheng Hao just quietly hugged her shoulders and didn't do comfort, although he didn't understand, but he knew that Xiaoyuan's heart needed an outlet to release all the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time.

Xiao Yuan had cried enough, and he was tired of laughing, so he put the box on the table and slowly told him about the origin of the bracelet.

At that time, she knew that something was wrong with Sister Yang's family when she saw this bracelet for the first time, and then all kinds of situations were mixed together, making her almost collapse.

Looking back now, she doesn't know what kind of pressure and despair she endured.

She had never mentioned these things to Cheng Hao, and she had never sought his help.

From how they struggled to raise money, to how to find Ji Yifan to persuade her mother to withdraw the lawsuit, to how to find the right doctor to save Mengmeng's life.

One by one, she told Cheng Hao everything.

Including when she met Shen Xinyu in the hospital, thinking that she was pregnant with Cheng Hao's child, thinking that they were destined for this life, and there was no room to turn back.

Xiang Xiaoyuan had never thought about telling Cheng Hao, she thought that she would be buried in her heart forever and would not mention it to anyone.

The despair and discouragement she felt at that time, the nightmare feeling that she couldn't die and had no way to survive.

She said while crying, the more she talked, the more angry she became, and then she suddenly raised her hand and clenched it into a fist and slammed it on Cheng Hao's chest, crying like an unreasonable little madman: "Where were you? Where were you at that time? You bastard, I hate you to death!"

She knows that she is unreasonable, but how much truth can she talk about in the face of feelings?

Cheng Hao let her vent until she had no strength to fight, she cried so much that she had no strength, and the whole person was paralyzed as if her soul had been drained, and then he hugged her tightly in his arms.

"I'm sorry...... I'm sorry......" He also kissed Xiaoyuan's forehead with tears in his eyes.

It turned out that he was so wrong, how careless he should have been at that time, he just thought that Xiaoyuan was trying his best to torture him, but he didn't know that she had been punishing herself.

He even quarreled with her at that time, thinking that she was stupid enough to use other men to beat him.

For the first time, he also understood what kind of desperation Xiaoyuan forced himself into the marriage hall.

There are so many words, so many things, they have buried them in their hearts, and they never know how to talk about it, but they didn't expect this bracelet to become the key to open this lock.

Xiao Yuan lay in his arms for a long time to calm down, she sobbed and asked, "Can I return this bracelet to Sister Yang?" I know it's expensive, anyway, don't expect me to pay it back!"

Cheng Hao was amused by her, and he kissed her hair: "I'll go with you to return it." You little money fan, don't ask me questions about whether it's expensive or not!"

Xiao Yuan burst into tears and smiled, holding the bracelet and looking.

It's really beautiful, green and transparent, and it's really a peerless jade.
