"Xiu Lan, I know what I'm talking about! I used to think that things between us should be done gradually and slowly. I also believe that one day, you will be able to accept me.
But I'm afraid that if you go back there this time, you won't want to come over here anymore. Xiulan, these years, I don't even know if I'm really alive.
Until I knew Jinfeng was my daughter, until I heard everything about you from her. Xiulan, give me another chance together. This time, I will never let go of your hand again, and I will never let you and your daughter suffer again. "The hope in Shen Hui's eyes rose little by little, and he looked at Zhang Xiulan with longing.
Zhang Xiulan even shuddered, pursing her lips, her eyes filled with bitterness. "You still don't understand. I... never blamed you, nor did I resent the life Jinfeng and I spent all those years together. My only regret is that I didn't keep my promise and married someone else."
Comrade Shen..., I am not worthy of your kindness. You can find someone better, at least someone who is not as bad as me."
"Xiu Lan, you..." Chen Hui didn't expect that Zhang Xiu Lan actually thought this in her heart. For a moment, she felt her breathing become rapid. "Why would you think so? I'm already an old man, who else can I look for? In my heart, you are the best. Do you still want me to look for those unmarried girls who are 17 or 18 years old?
Not to mention that I don't have this intention, even if I did, which girl would be so blind as to fall in love with me?"
Zhang Xiulan was stunned.
She didn't think about what Shen Hui said. She just felt that she was not worthy of Shen Hui and not worthy of his waiting for so many years.
"Or... you want me to find a divorced man with children? But I already have children, why should I be the father of someone else's child? Xiulan, just think of it as the child's sake. Jinfeng hasn't felt the love of a complete family in all these years. Let's give it a try for the sake of the child, okay? If you think it's not suitable, we can... discuss it again!"
At this time, Shen Hui was just an ordinary man and an ordinary father.
Zhang Xiulan couldn't bear to see him continue to be so humble, even though he was clearly doing nothing wrong.
After a long while, she said, "When I get there, you can write to me. I...will write back to you when I see it."
As for the rest, she couldn't get over it in her heart.
Upon hearing this, Chen Hui smiled bitterly and said softly, “Alright!”
Even if it is just one step, with this step, the remaining ninety-nine steps will be easy for Shen Hui.
…
When Li Jinfeng and Lu Mingfang went downstairs, Shen Hui had already left.
Zhang Xiulan was fiddling with the pearl jewelry in the wooden box.
Seeing Li Jinfeng and Lu Mingfang, she immediately stood up and said, "You haven't finished reading it yet, right? I took another look and I think there's one thing that can be improved."
Li Jinfeng and Lu Mingfang looked at each other.
Lu Mingfang: "Where's Comrade Chen Hui? Did he go back? Isn't he staying for dinner?"
Zhang Xiulan tried her best to answer as normally as usual, "Maybe he has something wrong!"
Lu Mingfang: "Just reply! By the way, what did you say needs to be changed?"
Lu Mingfang's role change was very quick.
When Shen Hui was around, she tried her best to bring them together.
Now that Shen Hui was gone, she immediately threw herself into her work.
Zhang Xiulan picked up a hairpin and said, "This edge could be improved. Otherwise, it's easy to see the fishing line and glue inside, which affects the appearance."
