Chapter 3: Loss and Emptiness

When Xiao Budian begged Tong Mai with pitiful and unrefusable eyes not to take away his father, at that moment, Tong Mai had never been more ashamed and ashamed than at that time, as if in an instant she had become a person who was spurned by all people and had no virtue......

"What are you thinking? Absent-minded. ”

Li Xianning noticed that Tong Mai seemed to be restless today, and her eyebrows were full of sadness, and she couldn't guess what she was thinking now......

His voice successfully regained Tong Mai's consciousness, "How can there be. Tong Mai replied in a panic, his eyes lowered, and he didn't dare to look at Li Xianning at eye level.

Luo Luo's words made her feel guilty and confused! Inexplicably upset, and his sad appearance kept lingering in her mind......

"Tell me if you have anything on your mind, don't take it to heart, now you are not alone! You've got me...... I would love to share your pain for you. Li Xianning's eyes were absolutely serious, and he found that he and Tong Mai seemed to have drifted apart, and the tacit understanding in the past had long since disappeared. Even since when did this fit and understanding disappear like this?

Thinking of this, Li Xianning couldn't help but panic, even if Tong Mai did not have any more contact with Huo Yize after returning to China, was her heart really empty?

"Little A, why do you keep saying some sentimental things to me? It feels weird! Actually, I'm fine, I just remembered my dad......" In the conversation with Li Xianning, the title "dad" was blurted out, although he was still a little reluctant to admit it, but he actually forgave him in his heart.

No matter how much resentment there is, to a person who is about to die...... Shouldn't it be forgiving?

After Yin's father returned to China, Li Xianning also knew about his condition, but his illness had reached the point where there was no cure, so he could only resign himself to fate, and live for a day......

"Why don't I go with you to visit my uncle." He wanted to reconcile their father and daughter.

And Tong Mai shook his head in refusal, "No, let's do it another day." "Now I am not only afraid of seeing Father Yin, but also afraid of seeing Luo Luo again in the ward, afraid of such sincere and flawless and pure eyes......

But paradoxically, there is a little bit of wanting to see the child Luo Luo? This psychological ...... It's incredible! Yin Yuqi's child, she is so attached to it, like it?

"Then let's go ahead and pick out the dress! My parents will return home in a few days, and they want to meet you. Li Xianning said while choosing a dress for her.

Hearing this, Tong Mai grabbed the hand of the clothes, couldn't help but tremble, and suddenly became afraid, "Little A......" Can she not see it? Even if she knew that it was impossible, she began to go crazy again with her inferiority complex! When I met Xiao A's parents, would they be as troublesome and disgusted as Huo's father and Huo's mother?

Xiao A read her thoughts, "Silly girl, don't be afraid!" Relax, ugly daughter-in-law always wants to see her in-laws, not to mention that you are not ugly! You're my standard big beauty. ”

His liking for Tong Mai is still the same as at the beginning, looking at her with a strong love in his eyes, and thoughtfully tidying up the white dress she was wearing, it is still pure and charming......

"At this time, you are still in the mood to make fun of me! Do you know I'm so nervous right now, what if your parents don't like me? ”

If Li Xianning's parents don't like her, she won't be surprised, it's a fact that she doesn't deserve Xiao A, and no parent would want to find a daughter-in-law with the wrong door and the wrong household......

"What would you do if my parents didn't like you and asked you to leave me? Is it really obedient to leave? Li Xianning put his arms around her waist and hugged her affectionately.

Tong Mai opened her eyes, she couldn't answer......

Her reaction was obviously disappointed by Li Xianning, "You disappointed me!" Your feelings for us are so unfirm and don't trust me? ”

How much I hope that Tong Mai's answer to him is: no matter what, she will face it with him and advance and retreat together.

"I trust you, you are the person I trust the most. But...... It's not a matter of trust, it's a fact that we don't deserve it, it's not about trust. It was because she believed in him that she chose him in the end, not because she had no way out.

Hearing her say that she trusted herself, Xiao A's heart instantly warmed, and a shallow smile appeared at the corner of her lips, obviously relaxed.

"Are you still in the mood to laugh? I'm in a mess right now, and I'm even going to start worrying about seeing your parents right away. Imagining the elders born in wealthy families in his mind, all of them commanding and making things difficult, Tong Mai couldn't help but tremble!

"Relax, fool! My parents are very easy to get along with, and they won't embarrass you a little! They have been looking forward to me getting married and having children, and now they finally have someone they like to show them, it's too late for them to like it, how can it be difficult for you? You're thinking too much! Besides, with me, I won't allow anyone to bully you, including my parents. Xiao A's hand holding her slender waist tightened again, and he was still the same as before, always giving people warmth and peace of mind.

His words were like a spring breeze, which made Tong Mai indeed relax a lot. At this moment, she is determined to get along with Xiao A's parents and strive to be a good daughter-in-law......

"Miss Tong, do you like this dress?" The owner of the dress shop continued to find an evening dress that matched Tong Mai's temperament for her reference.

The fiery red bandeau dress looks atmospheric and penetrates the halo of wealth...... Tong Mai couldn't help but think of Lin Meili, the meeting in Las Vegas, she was very impressed, thinking that Lin Meili would naturally involuntarily involve Huo Yize, her thoughts flooded again, staying in Las Vegas......

"Wheat, go try it."

"That's what I want!" White is still more suitable for her, Tong Mai's eyes glanced around the storefront, and through the window of the evening dress, his eyes actually caught a figure at this moment......

He's on the other side! That person was none other than Huo Yize.

What does it mean that he won't pester her anymore? Is it stalking her? Tong Mai's heartbeat began to become disordered, and the sound of "dong dong" jumping became louder and louder......

She intuitively didn't want Li Xianning to see Huo Yize opposite, so she immediately held Li Xianning's hand intimately, turned her back to the window, and pretended to be relaxed, "Why don't I try it, if it's suitable, you will be responsible for paying the bill." ”

"Don't say it's an evening dress or two, even if you want more, I can satisfy you." As long as it is what his woman wants, he is bound to find ways to fulfill her wishes.

"Thank you, my big money."

How lucky? She is absolutely happy to be able to meet a man in her life who can pay for your ruthlessness.

When Tong Mai entered the fitting room, his eyes secretly noticed the opposite window again...... The dazzling smoky Bentley was gone. Suddenly, a little bit of loss condensed in the chest, and there were wisps of sourness.

After she entered, Li Xianning's mobile phone rang, and when Tong Mai came out again, his expression obviously changed, "What's wrong?" What happened? ”

"Wheat, can you go back alone? Something went wrong with the company, and I needed to rush back. ”

"What's wrong, is it serious? Then you hurry up, don't worry about me, I'm not a three-year-old child, how can I not go back? Go for it. "She is a well-informed person, she will not pester men coquettishly, and she has to accompany her shopping.

Li Xianning paused, didn't answer whether it was serious or not, just explained, "Be careful when you go back yourself, I'll contact you later." After finishing speaking, he didn't stop for long, and left in a little hurry, and his steps when he left seemed unusually hasty.

Tong Mai frowned, it turned out that Xiao A would also be flustered about the company's affairs, and when he was anxious, it seemed that this matter must be not small. She couldn't help much, the only thing she could do was to reassure him and let him have less heart.

"Please help me wrap it up, I don't want this." The red dress is worn on the body, which is not suitable in itself.

And what doesn't suit you, don't force it......

Tong Mai never thought that Xiao A, who had always trusted, was actually lying to her now, and the call was not because there was a problem with the company, but because something happened to Pei Ruoxue......

When she walked out of the store with the dress bag, she couldn't help but look at the place where Huo Yize had parked just now, which was already empty.

She shook her head, as if trying to keep herself from thinking about people she shouldn't be thinking about! The warm winter sun reflected on her fair face, flushed with a hint of redness, but no matter how warm the sun was, it couldn't dispel the gloom in her heart, and her world seemed to have become dark after returning from Las Vegas......

In the past six years, I have never been so lost and lonely as I am now! If you have been in despair, it will become a habit after a long time, but after a glimmer of hope, you will be beaten back into despair again, this kind of pain...... Tong Mai suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of loss and emptiness, as if she was suddenly the only one left in the world, lonely and helpless. And the irony is that there are many people around her now, including Li Xianning, who loves her and loves her, Xiaosha, who is cute and drives away loneliness, and Sister Fen......

Family, friendship, love...... She has it all now, and she's actually disease-free here**.

"Were you looking for me?" A low, soft voice rang out behind her.

The voice...... She could hear it, and even if she didn't look back, she could guess that it was Huo Yize's voice......

The sourness hidden in the bottom of my heart broke the embankment, surging over! Tong Mai stood in the same place, his feet as if rooted, without looking back or moving forward.

Huo Yize jumped in front of her, blocking her sunlight, Tong Mai had strength in his legs at this time, didn't say anything, completely ignored him, and passed past him, but Huo Yize choked her hand at the right time, "Let's talk." Two words highlight the resoluteness......
