Chapter 17: Thou shalt not repent
Chapter 17: You Don't Regret It
For the strength of the marriage. For the harmony of the family. For the freshness of the husband.
Jiang Hao spent the whole day thinking about Qiao Xinwei's words. He found out in hindsight. It turned out that she already knew about his relationship with Xiao Tianai before the dinner party at the hotel. She's not noisy or noisy. Instead, they stayed by his side silently. It's him. Not only left her alone at the airport. She was also alone crying in the cold night.
If Ruan Bin really wants to do something. That's not to blame people for taking advantage of the situation. It's that he himself gives others a chance.
"Ah Hao. How about this one?" Xiao Tianai came out of the fitting room. Eyes look at themselves in the mirror and sigh secretly. If only I could stand up. How nice that would be.
Jiang Hao's thoughts were interrupted. He came to his senses. looked at Xiao Tianai, who was wearing a white velvet evening dress in front of him. He gave a thumbs up and praised, "This one suits you perfectly. It's beautiful."
Assistant Xiao Nan helped her tidy up the hem. Make her look like she's sitting. She looked up and said, "Sister Tianai. This dress looks better than what we had prepared. The hem is huge. It looks so good to spread out."
Xiao Tianai smiled faintly. It's a pity. Can only sit. Can't show its strengths......"
Jiang Hao heard this. The guilt in my heart is infinitely overflowing. He crouched down. Pat the back of her hand. Say, "You're just as beautiful now. This dress is made for you. I can wear it on you. It's an honor for it." As he spoke, he took out his bank card and gave it to the waiter next to him. We don't rent. Bought it."
The waiter was pleasantly surprised. She took the card. A reminder." This Valentino haute couture dress is made exclusively from Italy. I just arrived yesterday. 120,000."
Xiao Tianai was taken aback. Shake your hand." 120,000. Don't buy don't buy. It's too expensive."
Jiang Hao held her hand. He calmly said, "120,000 is 120,000. As long as you like. It doesn't matter how expensive it is."
"Thank you, Chief Jiang. Wait a minute." Waiter holding card. Walked away with a grin.
"Oh yes. Sister Tianai. I'm going to tidy up the other dresses." Xiao Nan also left with interest.
Xiao Tianai looked at Jiang Hao affectionately. She reached out and took his hand. Thank you. You're still so good to me. Do you know. I was so happy to see you that day that I couldn't sleep all night. I thought I disappeared for five years and you would forget about me. I didn't expect you to be with me. And don't care about me like this. I ......"
"God love." Jiang Hao interrupted her.
"Hmm."
"I knew you weren't dead that day. I'm so happy and impulsive. So some mouths are ...... words," Jiang Hao silently withdrew his hand. Say it seriously." I'm married. You know. I now have another responsibility. I can guarantee it though. As long as you have difficulties. I will do my best to help you."
Xiao Tianai's smile froze on his face. Her heart was as empty as the palm of her hand. She didn't want to believe what she had just heard. It was tormented for five years. She thought that this happiness that belonged to her was lost again. But it's only been two days. She's only been happy for two days. Jiang Hao actually said that it was just his own words.
She laughed dryly. A Hao. What do you mean. I don't understand...... No. You don't say it. I don't want to hear it. I don't want to hear anything." She was restless. His hands kept tugging at the hem of his skirt." That's why you gave me this dress, right? Then I don't want it. Your words. I should be a promise. You are not allowed to go back. I don't want clothes. You are not allowed to go back."
Jiang Hao, who has always boasted of his noble character, suddenly felt that he was no different from Ji Xiaohai. He looks down on this kind of person. He looks down on himself." Heavenly love. I'm married."
"I don't mind. As long as I can stay by your side. I don't mind anything." Xiao Tianai was excited. In a wheelchair, the whole person shook." I know your difficulties. I'm not going to fight for anything. Chief Jiang's wife will always be Qiao Xinwei. I can never see the light. I will never affect your career."
Jiang Hao held her hand. Don't get excited. Listen to me. Not for this reason. If I did. Not only sorry Qiao Xinwei. I will owe you more. I can't get past myself."
"I don't mind. I don't mind."
"I mind."
Xiao Tianai's pain and entanglement are all on his face. Jiang Hao's words were like a thunderbolt from the sky. If you don't give her hope in the first place. She's not going to be so desperate. But. She is no longer Xiao Tianai five years ago. She quickly adjusted her feelings, and said lightly: "Now I am a waste. What else can I do? You don't want me, I can't run after you. A Hao. What do you mean. I know. I just want to ask you a question. I hope you can answer me honestly."
"What."
Xiao Tianai had tears in his eyes. The misty eyes are full of affection. She looked at him steadily. Ask: "Do you still love me?"
Jiang Hao nodded. Love...... But reality doesn't allow us to be together anymore."
A smile appeared at the corner of Xiao Tianai's mouth. I get it. I'm not going to embarrass you." She wiped her tears. She knows Jiang Hao best. Integrity, decisiveness, fortitude, stubbornness. He decided something that no one could change. But he also has soft spots. As long as he still loves her. Then she'll wait. As long as there is love. Nothing is impossible.
Jiang Hao is like a person who has atoned for his sins and has been forgiven. smiled happily." Heavenly love. I'm afraid you're the only one in the world who knows me best. Thank you for your understanding. I'm still saying that. As long as you have difficulties. Whenever you need me. I can't give up my definition."
The seventh day of the Lunar New Year. National Centre for the Performing Arts
The night is like a curtain. A high-end cello recital is about to be staged here. It's a kind of elegant music. People who came to admire. Either rich or expensive.
Xiao Tianai only gave Jiang Hao a ticket. But Zhou Xiaoyi didn't come back. Ruan Bin has one more ticket. plus Yunqing and Chen Jingye, two husband and wife. The five of them got together again.
Yun Qing has always had something to say. She looked at everyone's tickets. I couldn't help but laugh." Yo. Chief Jiang University. VIP seats. Lean on the front. You can hear more than just music. You can still see people. Can you make eye contact...... Hey. The four of us are connected. It's just a good time to get around the table. Why don't you buy poker now?"
Chen Jingye pulled the corner of Yunqing's clothes. Remind her with your eyes. That's pretty much it. Don't overdo it.
Ruan Bin is still embarrassed. He scratched at his hair. He said, "Actually, I'm just a layman. I don't know high music. I don't think I'm going to go in." He handed the ticket to Qiao Xinwei." Go in."
Yun Qing stopped him and didn't let him go." No way. Say okay, the concert is over, you're going to have dinner. I want to pay the bills."
Seeing Jiang Hao being fooled, his face became darker and darker. Qiao Xinwei secretly cooled in her heart. She's also here to give a kick. Said: "Mr. Ruan. The ticket is yours. It's all for me, and you don't go. So how embarrassed am I. Let's sit together. I don't care."
Ruan Bin glanced at Jiang Hao faintly. All right. I don't care." The words are all spoken. He no longer has secrets in his heart. Since I don't plan to die of old age, I won't get along. Then act as if nothing happened.
Then. Jiang Hao put his arm around Qiao Xinwei's shoulder. Said: "Ruan Bin. I'll exchange your ticket." He gave the VIP ticket in his hand to Ruan Bin. He turned around and drew an ordinary ticket in Qiao Xinwei's hand." It was so happily decided. Let's go inside. Line up for admission."
In the dressing room. Xiao Nan walked from the front in a muffled voice. She lowered her voice and said, "Sister Tianai. Jiang Hao didn't come. He gave the ticket away."
Xiao Tianai calmly put on lipstick. It was expected for a long time. She knew him too well.
"Sister Tianai. You have suffered so much for him. What is that Qiao Xinwei. Isn't it just a blind date and picked up a big bargain? He'll regret it."
Xiao Tianai smiled and comforted: "Xiao Nan. Don't be angry." She was as calm as if she were listening to someone else's business.
"Can I not be angry? So. The bigger the officer, the more cautious he becomes. But even your own marriage and feelings can't follow your own heart. That's so sad. He is also a selfish man. Sacrificed you for the sake of your future."
Xiao Tianai turned his wheelchair and stepped back. She said calmly: "You also said that he was cautious. There's nothing wrong with being cautious...... All right. So be it. Prepare for the show."
Xiao Nan didn't say anything anymore. Yiyan pushed her out.
The lights in the hall were dim. The curtain on the stage slowly pulls open. Xiao Tianai sat there quietly. A beam of light shot down from above her head. The white velvet evening dress made her look like a beautiful white swan. After a metamorphosis. The swan spreads its wings and becomes the object of gaze.
The low, melancholy voice of the cello slowly flowed out. Xiao Tianai is intoxicated by his own music. Her eyes. Grimacingly, he looked ahead. The person sitting there wasn't the one she thought about day and night. She can only pin all the bitterness in her heart on the cello.
I found out after I took a seat. Their positions are not connected. It's two sides. Far apart.
Qiao Xinwei turned his head to look around. Many listeners have their eyes closed. Completely intoxicated by the smooth and melancholy sound of the cello. Then turn your head to look at Jiang Hao next to you. I also listened with extra concentration. Please forgive her for really not understanding the cello. Sitting for a long time is boring. Thereupon. She slowly stood up with her neck bent.
Suddenly. Jiang Hao grabbed the back of her neck. Sit her down." Why are you going?"
"Ugh. ...... pain," Qiao Xinwei shouted in a hoarse voice. Pay attention. Do you want me to strain again?"
"It's pitch black, where do you want to go?"
"I can't go to the bathroom."
"You sit down for me. It's only been ten minutes before you say you want to go to the bathroom. Why did you go earlier?"
Qiao Xinwei frowned. Regret followed." Alas. I already knew to watch TV at home. I can't afford to enjoy this kind of high music. Just let me go."
"Don't move. Sit."
"Then I'll go and change positions with Chen Jingye."
"No. Sit down."
Jiang Hao pressed her shoulders hard to prevent her from getting up. It's blind. What if you stumble and fall. I was already wounded in the neck. Again. He promised Xiao Tianai to come and listen. You have to listen before you go.
"Then I can always sleep."
Jiang Hao was speechless. Gave her a hard look.
