"Let's take a walk," Han Tao suggested.
His business trip was originally planned for a month, but his intense longing for his lover made him work day and night on his research, managing to compress the time into twenty days.
When he saw Chun Tao's clothes being torn, he went crazy with rage. If someone hadn't held him back, he would have beaten Pete half to death.
Now that Pete has been locked up, he must teach him a lesson through various means.
Although there was an element of deliberate design involved, he wouldn't have fallen for it if he hadn't been lustful.
This lawsuit won't end so easily; it'll probably drag on for at least a year and a half.
A year from now, his company's business in China will probably be ruined. All I can say for him is a song of farewell.
As the two walked side by side back to the hotel, Han Tao stopped talking about Pete and instead brought up the topic of meeting the parents.
"Chuntao, when will you find some time to go back to your hometown? I want to settle things as soon as possible," he said, holding Chuntao's hand.
Chun Tao was actually happy; she had thought a lot during those twenty days.
The mature and steady Han Tao is her type, and she feels very comfortable and natural when they are together.
She didn't know if this was love, but she suddenly wanted to get married and wanted to be cared for by a man.
However, considering the huge educational gap between herself and Han Tao, she still hesitated.
Moreover, after Sophie was driven away by her for the first time, she came to see her several more times, taking the path of sympathy, saying how she didn't know how to cherish her in the past, and how Han Tao had done a lot for her when they were young.
She feared that Han Tao had only proposed to her out of spite.
She asked directly:
"Brother Han, have you thought this through? Sophie has contacted me a few times, and she seems quite persistent about you. Why don't you talk to her and clear things up first?"
This is a problem that must be faced, so let's just be open and honest about it.
Han Tao stopped, placed his hands on her shoulders, forced Chun Tao to look him in the eye, and then said solemnly:
"I'm sorry about Sophie's problem. I don't know why she's like this. But believe me, I will definitely talk to her and make sure she doesn't contact you again."
I'm very sure of my feelings. You just need to be sure of your own feelings: are you willing to marry me?
From now on, we will face this world together, whether in poverty or wealth, in health or sickness, we will face it together.
In the future, we also want to be like Lin Ye and Lu Wanqing, have several children, and then each of us will shine in our respective positions, strive to face life, and work together to maintain a good family..."
Han Tao himself never imagined that one day he would say so many affectionate words to a woman, but now these words flowed down naturally like a stream from the Tianshan Mountains.
As Chun Tao listened to his moving words, her eyes filled with tears. Finally, the tears burst forth, and she threw herself into Han Tao's arms and wept bitterly.
For many years, she has told herself to be strong, to make a name for herself with her own hands, and to take control of her own destiny.
She suppressed her emotions, tried her best to appear positive and optimistic, and worked hard to gain the approval of others.
She went from being a waitress to a hotel manager, spending countless nights studying and learning various kinds of knowledge.
She also had fantasies about her other half, and even thought that if Fok Ying-tung could accept her, perhaps she could consider becoming a stepmother. Perhaps in other people's eyes, what she did seemed like taking a shortcut, but she looked down on the unambitious young men, and the slightly more outstanding ones were too picky about her. It was better to find someone she could accept.
Han Tao fell in love with her at first sight, which was something she had never expected.
She wanted to be with him, she really did...
Seeing that the sobbing in his arms had subsided considerably, Han Tao gently touched her face and wiped away her tears.
"You're practically crying your eyes out. Why are you so unwilling to marry me? Should I take back my proposal?"
He said it in a casual tone.
Chuntao pouted and then smiled through her tears.
"No taking it back! Once a promise is made, it's like water spilled; you can't take it back."
Let's go back to the hotel and I'll cook you a nice meal.
The two then continued walking hand in hand, glancing at each other from time to time, unable to suppress their smiles.
Just as Chun Tao reached the hotel entrance, she spotted a figure in the distance, and her face instantly darkened.
My older brother knows she works here. He's asked her to come before, but she never did. Why did she come this time?
She had a bad feeling.
Han Tao followed her gaze and saw a man dressed in plain, gray clothes.
It's hard to tell her age; some people would believe she's over forty. One of her legs is bent, clearly indicating a limp.
"Is this your older brother?" Han Tao guessed.
Chun Tao nodded, took a few quick steps, and called out his name, "Chun Sheng".
When Yang Chunsheng saw his younger sister, he looked at her with disbelief. The change was too great. She was now a sophisticated urban woman, and there was no trace of the country girl she once was.
"Chuntao, I really have no other choice, please help Mom!" Chunsheng didn't exchange many pleasantries and stated the purpose of his trip.
It turned out that their mother had recently contracted a strange illness and stayed in the hospital for half a month before it was finally discovered that there was a problem with her uterus.
The doctor said that if he wanted a complete cure, he would have to have his uterus removed, but his mother strongly disagreed, saying that if his uterus was removed, he would still be a complete woman, and the surgery would be very expensive, costing more than two thousand yuan, which his family simply could not afford.
Chun Tao felt a pang of sadness upon hearing this. Two thousand yuan was easy for her to come up with now, but it was an astronomical figure for them.
"Brother, don't worry, I have the money. I'll go get it right away," Chun Tao said hurriedly, afraid that Chun Sheng would continue to be sad because of this.
Han Tao then continued:
"Chuntao, let's bring Mom here. The medical facilities are better here."
Chunsheng looked at Chuntao with a puzzled expression after hearing him speak.
Chun Tao quickly explained, "Brother, this is my boyfriend, we're getting married soon."
"Really? This handsome and talented man is really going to become my brother-in-law? Great, Chun Tao has such good taste..."
Chunsheng's expression softened considerably, feeling that his mother's matter could be resolved soon.
As they were talking, the group arrived at the hotel front desk. Han Tao called Lu Wanqing directly, explained his relationship with Chun Tao, and asked her for leave.
When Lu Wanqing heard that Chun Tao's family had something to do, she not only told her to go and take care of her family matters, but also prepared a car for her.
Yang Chunsheng witnessed firsthand how something he thought was harder than climbing to heaven could be solved so quickly.
Han Tao not only went back to his hometown with Chun Tao and her brother, but also brought her parents to a hospital in Beijing and arranged for them to stay there. He also contacted the attending physician to arrange surgery as soon as possible.
As for her mother's reluctance to have surgery, Chun Tao used a combination of threats and inducements until she finally agreed.
The surgery was successful, and they were able to return to their hometown safely.
During this time, her mother was taken good care of by Han Tao and Chun Tao, and she was 1,000 percent satisfied with her son-in-law.
