Zhou Shen spoke with difficulty: "You really won't consider me? I understand your concerns, but I swear, I will treat you well... and you are still young, don't you really want to find someone?"
"I'm sorry, I really don't want to look for you." Chen Xiaohui mustered up the courage to look at Zhou Shen, "You're very good, really, but I really can't be with you."
"Then do you have any feelings for me?" Zhou Shen asked unwillingly.
Chen Xiaohui lowered her eyes, not daring to look at Zhou Shen again.
She didn't know how to answer him. After more than two months of getting along, she also liked Zhou Shen as a person. He was cheerful and hardworking, and she was very happy to be with him.
But... thinking of her daughter, Chen Xiaohui suppressed her love.
Nothing is more important than my daughter.
Seeing that Chen Xiaohui didn't say anything, Zhou Shen's eyes showed a glimmer of hope, "You still have feelings for me, right?"
Since I can't be with him, then don't delay him, Chen Xiaohui thought to herself, hardened her heart, and said: "No, I don't have any feelings for you, Zhou Shen, it's impossible for us to be together, and I will never get married again in this life."
Chen Xiaohui's heartless words shattered Zhou Shen's last glimmer of hope.
There was a flash of hurt in his eyes, he lowered his eyes, and stuffed the box in his hand back to Chen Xiaohui, "Even if you don't accept me, please accept this gift. This is the birthday gift I bought specifically for you."
"No, this gift is too valuable. I really can't accept it."
Chen Xiaohui quickly pushed it back.
Zhou Shen looked sadly at the gift in his hand that he couldn't give away. His eyes dimmed and he raised his hand and threw the gift into the trash can next to him.
"If you don't want it, throw it away."
After saying that, he turned and went into the market.
"Zhou Shen..."
Chen Xiaohui wanted to chase Zhou Shen, but stopped. She turned around and walked to the trash can, bent down and picked up the box.
…
"Xiaohui, Xiaohui..."
Li Man raised his hand and waved it in front of Chen Xiaohui's eyes. "What are you staring at?"
"Ah, what's wrong?"
Chen Xiaohui came back to her senses and looked at Li Man, "What's the matter?"
"What's wrong with you?" Riemann asked with concern, "Are you feeling unwell?"
"Ah? No." Chen Xiaohui quickly denied.
Li Man looked at Chen Xiaohui suspiciously, "What's wrong with you? You seem distracted."
Chen Xiaohui quickly said, "I'm fine."
"It's strange that you're okay!" Riemann asked, "What happened? If you don't tell me, I'll be angry!"
Chen Xiaohui was a little embarrassed, "It's really okay!"
Li Man was angry, "Okay, now you won't tell me something!"
Seeing that Li Man was angry, Chen Xiaohui hurriedly explained, "No, it's... Alas!"
He sighed heavily, "I really don't know how to tell you this."
"So there is something wrong? What is it?" Riemann asked anxiously.
"It's nothing, actually. It's just that... Zhou Shen confessed his love to me."
Hearing this, Li Man breathed a sigh of relief. She thought something big had happened and she was worrying for nothing.
But she raised her gossipy face and asked, "How is it? Did you promise him?"
"No." Chen Xiaohui shook her head. "How dare I look for a man now? If I meet another man like Wang Junfeng, will I still be alive?"
Thinking of Wang Junfeng, Riemann still felt a lingering fear.
Fortunately, she still has her mother to help her take care of her daughter, so she has fewer worries. Unlike Chen Xiaohui, there is no one to help her take care of her daughter. If she remarries, they will inevitably have to live under the same roof, which will cause many inconveniences.
After all, they are father and daughter without blood relationship, and no one can guarantee that the other party does not have bad intentions.
