Dongfang Yu was at a loss, unsure of how to respond or what to say.
He could only stare at her blanklyâ¦
With despair and helplessness, he stared at her, yet it did nothing to change the situation!
Hai Xiaotang could clearly feel his pain.
She couldnât bear to meet his gaze any longer, and attempted to move her wrist, âI, I have to go to classâ¦â
Dongfang Yu showed no intention of letting go. He was holding onto her tightly, his gaze frosty and intimidating.
Increasing the force exerted, Hai Xiaotang told him, âDongfang Yu, let go. I need to go to class.â
The man, who was as still as a sculpture a moment ago, suddenly pulled her away with surprising strength!
Hai Xiaotang stumbled!
Tao Yi reacted immediately, shouting, âLet go of herââ
Dongfang Yu cast him an icy stare, then turned to Hai Xiaotang, asking her word by word, âIâm going to restore our marriage now. Are you coming or not?â
Hai Xiaotang: ââ¦â
âJust answer me, are you coming or not?!â
Tao Yi grabbed Dongfang Yuâs wrist, saying fiercely, âDongfang Yu, enough! Xiaotang doesnât want to marry you, forcing her into it wonât make her happy!â
âTao, I advise you to mind your own business.â Dongfang Yu smirked coldly, âThis is between her and me, and none of your business!â
Tao Yi was similarly defiant, âAs long as sheâs unwilling, I wonât let you take her away!â
âFine, letâs see her choice!â Dongfang Yu nodded, turned his gaze back to Hai Xiaotang, and asked again, âSo, are you willing to go?â
Tao Yi also attempted to persuade Hai Xiaotang, âXiaotang, you donât need to sacrifice yourself for anybody. Iâve found a solution to Grandpaâs problem. You donât have to compromise with Dongfang Yu! Think carefully, this concerns your lifetime happiness!â
Dongfang Yu gripped Hai Xiaotangâs wrist tightly and it took a great deal of restraint to prevent himself from lashing out at Tao Yi.
Hai Xiaotang naturally felt his repressed fury.
She looked towards Tao Yi gratefully, âBrother Tao, thank you, I really appreciate your kindness. However, my decision wonât change. Iâm so sorry.â
Tao Yi was taken abackâ¦
Hai Xiaotang had chosen Dongfang Yu.
Even though she did not love Dongfang Yu, she still chose himâ¦
âXiaotangâ¦â He wanted to say more, but Hai Xiaotang interrupted him, âBrother Tao, I know what Iâm doing! I have no regrets.â
Indeed, she had nothing to regret.
All her love and hatred was given to Dongfang Yu.
She could no longer fall in love with another manâ¦
So, marrying Dongfang Yu, she had no regrets. Everyone has their own way of living, hers is just different from the majority.
She just chose a marriage that doesnât require love.
Perhaps for others, this path would be too hard, but for her, it was simple.
She no longer cared about this, not at all.
Hai Xiaotangâs indifference made both Tao Yi and Dongfang Yu feel terribly bad.
But the one who felt worse was Dongfang Yu!
He had won Hai Xiaotang, but it was as if he hadnât won her at all.
The person Hai Xiaotang loved the least was him. At least, she was grateful to Tao Yi.
As for him, there really was nothing!
In reality, he was the most pitiful person at this momentâ¦
Dongfang Yu cracked a bitter smile, then continued walking while still holding her handââ
This time, Tao Yi did not stop them. He no longer had the standing or right to do so. Hai Xiaotang also did not resist, despite everything. She obediently got into the car with Dongfang Yu.
Looking at their receding silhouette, Tao Yi clenched his fist in despairâ¦
