Chapter 16: To Marry or Not to Marry (3)
Jinan, China.
The street where the Civil Affairs Bureau is located is as prosperous as ever, but today's prosperity vaguely gives people a sense of trance that is not quite right, whether it is the pedestrians around or the shops, they are like peeping eyes in the dark, which makes people extremely uncomfortable.
On the roof of the building opposite the Civil Affairs Bureau, a few people stood looking down at the street below.
Lu Haochuan, who was dressed in a work uniform, looked haggard, his mental state was very bad, and his body was not as tall as before, and it could be seen that he had not slept a peaceful sleep in recent days.
"We are also very sad about Lu Xuan's affairs, her arrival has indeed helped the club a lot, but the fact that she is the Dark King Palace is here, it can only be said that her fate is not good, she was targeted by the Dark King Palace and became a host." Michael patted Lu Haochuan on the shoulder.
"Are you comforting or torturous?" Andre squinted at Michael.
"Actually, Lu Xuan is the Dark King Palace, I am mentally prepared, just like you, you also suspect Lu Xuan, but there is no evidence at all, and even an alibi is missing." Lu Haochuan said abruptly, "She was picked up with the Luo Wang Shen Tao, since the Luo Wang Shen Tao is a product of the dark element, then she will inevitably be affected by it, and it is natural for her to be targeted by the Dark King Palace." ”
Qi Na and Luo Cheng, who were standing behind the three of them, were silent in tacit understanding.
"If you want to blame, you can only blame that girl is not good, but I have always felt guilty about that girl in my heart, I sent her to a place like the club since I was a child, she is very talented, but this talent should not be her obligation to join the club, I owe her too much." Lu Haochuan sighed, "Until now, I don't dare to tell her mother about it, because I'm afraid that her mother won't be able to bear it." Although Lu Xuan is not our biological child, her mother and I have long regarded her as our biological daughter. ”
Looking at Lu Haochuan, who had to suppress his grief in his heart and not let his face show the slightest hint on his face, Michael and Andre did not make a sound to disturb him, and they saw Lu Haochuan's father's difficulty.
They have known about the relationship between Lu Haochuan and Lu Xuan for a long time, maybe they have no children under their knees, so Lu Haochuan and his wife will devote themselves to this picked up daughter, although Lu Haochuan is a little cruel on the surface, and sends his daughter to the club for cruel training, but behind them they know that this man is paying attention to Lu Xuan all the time, every time Lu Xuan is injured, no matter how far away it is, Lu Haochuan will rush over, but he does not appear in front of his daughter every time.
Once Lu Xuan twisted his calf during training, the injury was not serious, Lu Haochuan happened to be in the club, he did not appear in front of his daughter for the first time, but looked at it from afar, he didn't know whether he was doing this to make Lu Xuan stronger or he didn't dare to face his daughter's weakness, until he learned that Lu Xuan was the Dark Palace, until the moment he lost his daughter, he really understood, he was afraid, afraid of seeing his daughter, and his guilt made him dare not see his daughter many times, even if it was one side.
In the eyes of others, every time he meets Lu Xuan, he is harmonious and happy, but only he knows that most of the time it is his disguise with Lu Xuan, he tries his best to hide his guilt, and Lu Xuan also tries his best not to show himself too withdrawn.
He regretted it, he regretted it very much, if he hadn't sent his daughter to the club, if he had ignored his daughter's talent and just treated her as an ordinary person, today's daughter, even if she was an enemy in the Dark Palace, would have at least had a beautiful childhood worth remembering.
How he wished that he could hear his daughter's "old man" again, even if it was just a sound.
Beside Qina, Luo Cheng looked down at the bustling street where the actual flow of people was disguised by the members of the Lingxing Department and the figure holding the girl in the street, and asked, "Do you say that the heron will appear?" ”
Qina looked down, and couldn't see much expression on her face: "I don't know, but I don't think the current road - Hyun Lu may not be his opponent." ”
Luo Cheng was stunned for a moment, and then nodded, he asked Mo Kaize about Yichen's current strength, and Mo Kaize replied that he would probably have to join forces with Chen Yuetong to win.
This answer is unexpected, but if you think about it carefully, it is also expected, you must know that after the demonization, Yichen is not defeated by one enemy and four enemies, and even severely injured Mo Kaize and Chen Yuetong.
On the street, Yichen has long discovered the illusion of a lively crowd, although these people present are good in disguise and acting skills, but it is still quite unrealistic for him to hide his extremely subtle perception, as if he intentionally or unintentionally made a way for him, so that his steps are not fast or slow from beginning to end, and those small actions that he thinks can hide from him are all in his view.
It's just that at this time, Yichen was in no mood to pay attention to these people, including Michael and others in the high place, he lowered his head and didn't take his eyes off the girl in his hands for a moment.
The girl's body is cold, and it is even colder with the plain white dress, and her beautiful face has an abnormal whiteness, Yichen holds it carefully, not daring to relax and afraid that it will hurt the girl if she uses force.
Just one person holding one person, under the consciously separated crowd, walked towards the Civil Affairs Bureau, the closer to the Civil Affairs Bureau, the fewer people around, when Yichen stood at the door of the Civil Affairs Bureau, except for him and Ai Xue, there was no one left.
In the place further ahead, the two couples stood quietly, Dong Mi'er turned her back to the Civil Affairs Bureau, she couldn't bear to watch that scene, with a complicated expression, with a will to stop and a mind that she couldn't bear it.
The other couple is also talented and beautiful, the man is literate but will not be bookish, the woman has a good face and a good figure, and her rich and elegant temperament is naturally revealed, which is Ai Xue's parents.
At this time, both of them had red and swollen eyes, Fang Qing still had tears on her face, Ai Wen held her lover's hand in one hand to comfort her, and the other hand was already clenched into a fist.
The two people who learned of Ai Xue's death were filled with grief and indignation, and the pain of losing their daughter all turned into hatred for Yichen, especially Fang Qing, who strongly disapproved of Ai Xue's going to Australia to find Yichen, and once lost her mind and cried to Yichen.
From beginning to end, Yichen lowered his head, letting Ai Xue's parents speak coldly to him without refuting a word, Ai Wen raised his hand several times and wanted to hit Yichen, but finally put it down, the couple with excellent family education just pushed Yichen out of the house, and Yitianzheng and Dong Mi'er didn't even enter the door, and ate three or five closed doors.
Until he heard that Ai Xue's parents were going to bury Ai Xue, and besides, Ai Xue's body would have problems if he waited any longer, Yichen finally couldn't bear it anymore, forcibly broke in, and brought Ai Xue here.
The angry Ai Xue's parents were fierce when they came, and they looked like they were going to commit murder if Yichen didn't return their daughter, but fortunately, they were stopped by Yi Tianzheng and Dong Mi'er before they arrived.
Then, Ai Xue and his wife learned what Yichen was going to do next.
Looking at Yichen in front of the Civil Affairs Bureau, Ai Wen's clenched fist suddenly loosened, as if he had made up his mind, and said with a long sigh: "Let Yichen come back, he doesn't need to do this." ”
Yi Tianzheng frowned: "My son is not acting." ”
Dong Mi'er also hurriedly turned around and explained: "I know my son, he really likes Ai Xue, and he definitely didn't do it for you to see!" ”
Ai Wen smiled bitterly: "Old Yi, you misunderstood, I didn't say that Yichen meant to show us, I watched him grow up with Ai Xue since I was a child, you know Ai Xue, don't we still know Yichen?" Fang Qing and I knew what kind of kid he was. ”
Fang Qing also choked up: "Xue'er is already gone, there is no need to catch Yichen for the rest of his life, Xue'er is our child, and Yichen has already regarded him as our own half child." ”
Dong Mi'er looked at Yi Tianzheng inquiringly, she was a sensible woman, although she hoped that her son would not do such an irrational thing, but in the matter, she still chose to hand over the decision to support this family is family protection. Umbrella lover.
Yi Tianzheng saw her thoughts from her lover's eyes, turned his head to look at his son, who had already taken steps in front of the Civil Affairs Bureau, his eyes were firm, and he said solemnly: "Yichen is an adult, although we are his parents, but we have no right to interfere with his decision...... I don't regret it. ”
There was a trace of reluctance brought about by the mother's natural selfishness in her heart, but Dong Mi'er still expressed her approval with silence, which is not only her support for her lover as a wife, but also her respect for her son as a mother.
Eventually, Evan sighed and didn't persuade the old brother again.
Although Fang Qing's eyes were still red, her tears stopped.
At this time, the two of them could no longer hold any hatred for Yichen in their hearts.

Europe, United Kingdom.
The silver sky covered with hoarfrost could still faintly hear the thunder and lightning roaring in the distance, but the sun was bright and gentle, shining in the valley with the fragrance of birds and flowers and the shade of trees.
The valley was the property of the Augustinian family, and the use of the valley and a large area of land around it was owned by the Augustinian family, and it was the tomb of the new gods of this illustrious family.
At this time, Adam, who was dressed in a straight suit, was sitting with his back against a tombstone, surrounded by green trees on three sides, with green shade and Yang Valley, which was undoubtedly an excellent location for a feng shui tomb after careful study by the master of Xiangfa.
"I know those flowers are upset to you to look at, you like me to be clean, I've had people clean up this place." Adam said with a divergent look in his eyes, his hand stroking the tombstone, cautiously, "Vanessa, without you, I live a very empty life, and find something to do for myself every day, as if in this way I can feel that I am full, and I have a little confidence in my heart." ”
The wind blew, and a few leaves fell, and one fell on the short blonde hair that shook slightly.
"Mo Kaize told me that there is a saying that 'yin and yang are separated, and the incense in the world is not separated', I don't believe in Chinese Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, but I believe in you, you like pines and cypresses, I will plant a pine and cypress for you here, when I am here, I accompany you, and when I am not there, they accompany you." Adam whispered.
There was a rustling sound, and the leafy trees of all kinds shook, as if they were responding to the people in the tomb.
Adam had a smile on his face: "I promised you, but I can't go back." Also, you know, Yichen, that guy who has been sneered at by you and me, he has returned to China with his girlfriend, and he wants to get a marriage certificate with the dead girl, this is marriage, he wants to marry that girl, there are few people I Adam admire, and there are not many people who sincerely admire, he is really one, I have always misjudged him, he is a great person, and his heart is loyal as a lotus under his weak appearance. ”
The tree stopped shaking, which was considered a tacit acquiescence, and it seemed to be emotionally vibrating for Yichen's actions.
Adam got up slowly, facing the tombstone, there was no photo on the tombstone, but the girl's appearance had already been deeply imprinted in the depths of his mind, and he whispered: "Vanessa, I should go, I want to tell you something before leaving, Yichen can marry his girlfriend, and I can no longer marry in this life, not comparison, it is that kid who steals my limelight." Remember, I'm just telling you, not consulting with you, this matter...... Not negotiable. ”
After saying that, Adam stopped staying, and when he turned around, he was already in tears.
