Chapter 269: A Painful Choice
"I'm a man. Actually, it's the same as what you think. Don't get me wrong, sister." Murong Hong forced a smile. Even if we're not related by blood. But you're my father's daughter after all. It's my sister. How can I marry my own sister? What did that become? Don't be ashamed to say it. Father. You adopted your sister in the first place. Is it just to find a child bride for your son?"
"This." Seeing that the two sisters and brothers have surprisingly consistent views. Murong Xiong stopped talking.
"Good. You said it yourself." Murong Xue nodded. We've been like brothers and sisters since then."
"We're brothers and sisters. Why do you get along like a brother and sister?" Murong Hong pursed his lips.
"Hmm. That's good." Murong Xue almost bit her lips. But she still couldn't show her weakness in front of Murong Hong.
"Sister." Murong Hong looked directly at Murong Xue. Later. I'll call you sister. This life is a lifetime. I'm just your little brother. Brother forever."
When he said this. But my heart was as heavy as a jack drop.
"Good. Brother. I also recognize you as my brother." Murong Xue nodded. but his heart was cut like a knife.
This one who no longer loves himself. What is he called. It's all indifferent things.
Relationships and identities between people. It's just a bottle. And the bottle contains true feelings. is more important.
"You guys. . . Ay. Case. Oh well." Murong Xiong saw that this was already the case. There is nothing more to say.
Maybe. These two people only have this kind of sister and brother fate. Never mind. Fate is destined. Nothing to do. I reluctantly matched the two of them into a pair. That's in vain.
Murong Xiong knew. His daughter Murong Xue seems to have a little meaning to Murong Hong. After all. Himself as her adoptive father for so many years. He knows his daughter's thoughts. Murong Xue said that a person was worthless. The more you "hate" someone. On the contrary, it shows how heavy this person's position is in her heart.
But. Murong Xiong couldn't figure out the thoughts of his own son Murong Hong.
Why did this kid have to refuse this family business? There's no reason for that. Did he take the wrong medicine? Or do you like someone else? Maybe. The latter is more likely. Or. Facing the stunning beauty Murong Xue. How could he let it go.
"That being the case. You two brothers and sisters will join hands in the future. Together, we will defend the interests of our family." Murong Xiong said with difficulty. You guys. You two hold hands together."
"Ahh Murong Xue was stunned. Father. Didn't I say I wouldn't be with my brother. Why do you want us to hold hands"
"I. I'm not letting you walk together. Rather, they hold hands with each other as siblings." Murong Xiong said." Hold your hands together. From now on. You're a brother and sister who are not related by blood, but they are like their own siblings."
Murong Xue was stunned. But the hand was not stretched out.
Of course she knows. This one holds hands. What does it mean exactly.
But. Murong Hong stretched out his hand without hesitation. forcibly grabbed Murong Xue's already cold jade hand.
The moment Murong Hong held his hand. Murong Xue's heart. Jumped up again.
She used to think that she had stopped beating for this man's heartbeat. But. Right now. But she found that her own heart. Still dancing for him.
Nervous people. It's not just Murong Xue. Also includes Murong Hong.
Although he transformed into Mu Hongxue. I also shook my sister's hand. But this time. I held hands with her as I was. Holding her hand in front of her father.
Murong Xue struggled in her heart. But the handle didn't let go. Two people's hands. Hold it tightly like that.
The warm palm of the man beside him. Transfer of heat. passed on to Murong Xue's heart. There was a feeling of going to cry.
Why. Both men held hands. But it's so far away. MURONG Hong. Are you really not loving me anymore. Or. You've never loved me.
Murong Xue regretted it a little. Why did I refuse my father's offer just now?
Sacrificing love because of self-esteem. Is it really worth it.
But. Murong Xue has no way out. She said such decisive words. Murong Hong also resolutely cut off her last bit of residual thought. How she wished that Murong Hong could kneel in front of her. Courting her. But. He. This stubborn guy. I didn't do that.
MURONG Hong. If you do. Maybe. I'll change my mind. Give you another chance.
There's no more ifs. A qiē seems to be predestined.
The two of them were so close. But it can only pass by. Become two parallel lines.
Watching son and daughter holding hands. Murong Xiong's face finally showed a happy smile.
In a trance. He seemed to see the pair of young men holding hands. Walked into the wedding hall together. It's a pity. It was just a luxury on his part. After all, imagination is no substitute for real life.
"Murong Hong. From now on. You must. You must protect your sister. No matter what happens. You're going to have to be there for her. Never give up. You know what." Murong Xiong's voice was low. But every word is powerful.
"Daddy. I promise you. I'll take care of my sister for the rest of my life." Murong Hong nodded. He turned to his sister Murong Xue again." Sister. I will always be by your side. Rich and poor. Whether it's disease or disaster. will not leave you."
"Alright." Murong Xue said unhappily. Are you a wedding vow? That's what you say. You should say to your future wife. And not to your sister."
As soon as she said this, she spoke. Murong and his son both heard this sound.
Murong Xue. It's obviously jealousy. Jealous of Murong Hong's future wife. Her brother-in-law.
"Xiaoxue. You have to swear too. No matter what. Don't leave your brother. Even if. Even if he does something sorry for you in the future." Murong Xiong continued.
"What. He did something sorry for me. I can't leave him yet." Murong Xue was stunned. Why?"
"Because you are brothers and sisters." Murong Xiong said solemnly. I just now. I've already given you a choice. You can choose to be a couple. You can also choose to be a brother and sister. If you choose to be a couple. Of course I can't make that request from you."
"Daddy was right. If you become a husband and wife. Everyone is just a forest bird. When the calamity comes, they fly separately." Murong Hong interjected. I understand what Dad meant. Siblings and husbands and wives are in different relationships. Not compatible. Husband and wife. There is a duty of loyalty to each other. There are also many family responsibilities to be taken on. If a husband hits his wife. Or betrayed his wife. Of course. The wife is free to leave him. Because the husband has broken the contract between husband and wife. But. It's different with siblings."
Murong Xiong nodded with a smile. My son's comprehension is very strong. Already understood what he meant.
"Couples can get divorced. But siblings can't sever their relationship with each other. You. Got it?" Murong Hong looked at Murong Xue affectionately. I could marry ten thousand women to be my wife. I can also get a divorce ten thousand times. But. I only have one sister to you."
Speaking of which. His heart began to weep again.
"A husband can betray his wife. But the younger brother must not betray the elder sister." Murong Hong's voice choked up. So. I choose to be your little brother. And not your husband. In the future. I will find another person to be my wife. Sister. I'm sorry."
Only until this time. Murong Hong said his true words.
Love someone. How long can you love.
Murong Hong didn't know why he fell in love with Murong Xue. But. He's just in love.
But. Loving someone can also be painful. I don't want to get it when I don't get it. After getting it, I'm afraid of losing it.
Even if the two are not separated. But impermanence will always come. At the end of life. After all, the two people still have to be reluctant to separate. What's more, those vegetables, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea in the life of the couple. Zero zero total trivia. will always grind each other out of mystery. Strife and complaining ensued.
Murong Hong never thought of marrying Murong Xue as his wife. Have the most intimate relationship with her? Of course.
But. Murong Xue is also his older sister. Sister and wife. You can't do it alone. That. It will only bring endless pain.
If they get divorced in the future. Broke up. Can you still make a brother and sister? No.
Murong Hong can imagine the day when the two will die of old age after they are separated and will never see each other again. Marriage. Especially a marriage with the woman you love. For him. Most likely not paradise. But it's a hell.
Li Yuxin left Murong Hong. Just because of jealousy. Just because it cares who loves who loves a little more. That time of being alone. Murong Hong's heart hurts. It really hurts. He had a pain of abandonment.
He is a man who is no different from an orphan. He was once abandoned by his own father. He didn't want to be left aside by another person.
LI Yuxin. is not Murong Hong's favorite woman. But. Her departure and betrayal have beaten Murong Hong to the ground. This pain. is even better than the mountain ghost king to pick through Murong Hong's pipa bone. It was even worse to ruin his appearance.
Physical pain can be healed. But the pain of the soul is difficult to soothe it.
So. What about another woman. Another woman I love. Walk with her. Can you guarantee that one day the two will not be separated like this?
Ultimately. Murong Hong made a decision.
He's going back to the company. Return to Murong Xue's side. But. This time. He's not because of love. Contrary. He chose to give up this love. His coldness towards Murong Xue. It's not pretended. It's that I don't want to get hurt again. I don't want Murong Xue to get hurt.
Love. It's unpredictable. There is no guarantee of longevity. Even if the two enter the palace of marriage. Their love will also inevitably go to the grave. At last. That little bit of passion is gone. All that remains is the dependency that has to remain.
Murong Hong had met several old couples. Let's be honest. There is no love between them anymore. The reason why there is no divorce. Simply because of dependence. Because each other is used to this life. Even if it's a quarrel and a quarrelsome life. Divorce. Say it to each other. It's pain. Although the marriage itself is not sweet.
My marriage to Murong Xue. Will it be the same. From warm to bland. At last. Love is slowly disappearing. It's gone.
Ultimately. Murong Hong made his own choice. Though. At the moment of making a choice. His heart was also painful. But. He had to do it. No other way??????
