Chapter 2427: Elopement
That night, the two of them were in the theater's dressing room, but they still couldn't finish what they were doing.
Because Lin Zihang had to fly back overseas, the time left for them to be together was too short.
So the two of them only stayed in the dressing room for about ten minutes before leaving the theater.
Before this, Tang Xin had already called He Xuyang and asked him to break up.
Of course He Xuyang was unwilling to accept this. He said that at least he should be given a reason.
Tang Xin said that she already knew that the necklace was not bought by him.
Of course, it's not just because of this. The main reason is that she has figured it out. If she is with him just out of gratitude but can't love him sincerely, this kindness is irresponsible.
He Xuyang admitted the necklace incident, but also said to her: "I did lie to you about the necklace, but it's true that I like you."
Tang Xin sighed, feeling a surge of guilt in her heart. She wanted to say a few more words, but her phone had been confiscated by Lin Zihang.
Lin Zihang told her: "If you hesitate to make a decision, you will suffer the consequences. That's enough. If you keep talking, he will only forget you more."
Tang Xin didn't ask for her phone back.
She knew Lin Zihang was right and said that she was just not used to rejecting others.
Lin Zihang said, if you don’t have the heart to reject him, how can you have the heart to reject me?
Tang Xin was speechless.
Seeing her lower her head, Lin Zihang couldn't bear to scold her anymore. He sighed and held her in his arms. "When you're with me in the future, you have to get used to rejecting others and be a little willful. Don't always feel sorry for others. If you have to say you owe someone something, the one you owe the most is me."
Tang Xin leaned on his shoulder, her eyes sore again: "Okay, I understand..."
He patted her back and said, "Then don't cry. If you cry, it's like I owe you something."
…
And so, she followed Lin Zihang out of the theater.
Sitting in Lin Zihang's car, she thought about many things in the past.
She grew up in an incomplete family and often felt like a dependent. Her stepmother told her to be grateful, and her father always said how difficult it was to raise her. She felt that she was born indebted to others.
So she got used to accepting and enduring, and she accepted everything, whether it was good or bad.
She also doesn't want to owe others anything, either materially or emotionally.
If someone does her a favor, she can't help but repay them tenfold.
No one had ever told her that she could enjoy it with a clear conscience, or reject it without mercy.
No one had ever treated her like Lin Zihang, and even He Xuyang took advantage of her desire to repay him.
She thought back to her college days, when Lin Zihang had not yet taken over the company, and she often practiced piano with Lin Zihang.
Lin Zihang has many suitors. Those girls were jealous of her practicing piano with Lin Zihang, so they blocked her in the bathroom, the corridor, or an empty classroom.
They humiliated her with words, saying that she was a toad wanting to eat swan flesh, mocked her for being fat, and questioned her why she was practicing piano with Lin Shao when she was so ugly.
At that time, she always kept her head down and didn't talk back, thinking that this would make those people think she was boring and then let her go.
But her silence was met with shoving, slapping, and more brutal violence and humiliation.
She didn't want to endure it anymore, but she was so used to giving in that when she tried to stand up, her legs had already atrophied.
When the bullies left, she could only sit in the corner, hugging her knees and crying.
It was at this moment that Lin Zihang appeared beside her.
He asked her what happened, but she didn't say.
He checked the surveillance footage and found out everything. He scolded her angrily and said, "You don't owe them anything, so why do you let them bully you?"
Then he pulled her up from the ground, put his suit on her, and took her to find those who bullied her.
Lin Zihang insulted those people back in the same way they insulted her. She never knew that the taciturn Lin Shao was so good at insulting others. The girl who led the bullying of her was even made to cry by his insults.
Afterwards, Tang Xin was very grateful to Lin Zihang for helping her. Lin Zihang held her shoulders and told her seriously that if someone bullies you again, you should bully them back. Those who like to bully others are actually very cowardly. Once they meet someone tough, they will back down. So you have to be tough, little Tangxin!
She nodded seriously: "Okay, if they bully me again in the future, I will give them an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth!"
Lin Zihang smiled and rubbed her head: "That's right."
He paused and said, "But they won't bully you anymore."
When Tang Xin thinks back now, it seems that it was at that time that she fell in love with him.
Thinking about these things, Tang Xin couldn't help but smile foolishly.
At this moment, the car slowly stopped in front of a villa, and she came to her senses: "Where is this?"
"My home." Lin Zihang turned off the car. "Get out."
Tang Xin nervously opened the door and slowly followed Lin Zihang. She thought Lin Zihang was going home to finish what he hadn't finished. She felt a little nervous and embarrassed...
Lin Zihang smiled and took her hand. "I have to fly back tonight. Time is tight, so I don't have enough time to do anything else. I'll just give you the necklace and leave."
Tang Xin's face instantly burned with anger, as she felt guilty about her own wishful thinking and wild imagination.
Lin Zihang took her to his study, took the necklace out of a black velvet box, put it on her personally, and then hugged her from behind.
She gently stroked the pendant on her chest, and her heart was in turmoil for a moment.
What was lost and found again was not only the necklace, but also the man behind her.
Then she turned around and kissed him.
After the kiss, she felt a little embarrassed to look at him, lowered her head and said, "Shouldn't you leave?"
He suddenly asked, "Do you have your ID with you?"
Tang Xin didn't understand what he was going to do, but told him that all his documents were in his bag, including his driver's license.
Lin Zihang smiled and said, "You don't need a driver's license, just your ID card and passport will do."
She said, yes, I have them all, and then she took out her documents, a stack of everything, even her diploma.
Lin Zihang laughed at her, "Have you been preparing to elope with me?"
Tang Xin's face flushed, "I didn't!"
She then explained that two years ago, her rental apartment caught fire due to aging electrical wiring. When she returned, everything was burned, including her documents. At the time, her company had an opportunity to study abroad, and she had just obtained her passport and visa. Because of the fire, she missed out on a great opportunity. Since then, she's made a habit of carrying all her documents with her.
After hearing this, Lin Zihang seemed distressed. He helped her put her documents back into her bag, held her hand, and said, "Do you really want to go abroad?"
"I haven't been abroad yet, I want to go out and see..."
"How about we leave tonight?"
"ah?"
Lin Zihang looked at her with a smile: "Think about it, I'm asking seriously."
"Where are we going? The key is that I don't have a visa..."
"You can get a visa on arrival. You don't have to think too much. Just tell me whether you want to go with me." He looked at her sincerely, and seemed a little nervous.
Tang Xin thought about it seriously. Since she could take a leave from work, she might as well go on a trip without any preparation.
She nodded solemnly: "I do."
Lin Zihang breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good. I don't have to tie you up on the plane."
