"Because for both of us, walking together to this point hasn’t been easy—do you really want our feelings to change?"
"Do you really want this feeling between us to result in such a blindsiding suggestion? Yes, after you said those things to , I truly didn’t understand why you suddenly changed your attitude. Your new attitude has filled with dread and made extrely anxious, yet it seems I have no way to refuse what you’re proposing!"
"It feels like you’ve taken the dominant role now, and I have no choice but to go along with what you want. This isn’t right. I think when two people are in love, they should be on the sa side, with one heart, right? I don’t want you to be so hesitant; it doesn’t do any good for our relationship, you know?"
"Because love involves two people; it’s never just about one person. Love is real only when two people stand together, showing understanding and tolerance for each other. If one person’s feelings change, the other person will also change; they will feel pain, sorrow, and dread. Well, how can such love still be called love then?"
"And right now, I’m experiencing exactly that, you know? I am truly upset, truly anxious. I really want to achieve the happiness I envision in my heart, but it seems like you don’t want to give that chance. And here I am, living all alone in this world. Do you know what that feels like? It’s definitely heart-wrenching."
Qi Longbing spoke at length, looking at Hua Xiaomo in front of him, really wanting to offer so comfort. His handso face was full of lancholy.
He really wanted Hua Xiaomo to regain his confidence in their love, to re-establish that faith. It hadn’t been easy for their love to reach this point. After so many years, they still loved each other deeply; they absolutely had to be together.
They shouldn’t be so lost; it wasn’t right to feel nothing. Besides, he truly wanted to live with Hua Xiaomo, to build a family together.
Yes, he had never given up on that idea. He truly loved Hua Xiaomo, and he loved Candy too. He hoped they could both beco his family; that was his simplest wish.
Hua Xiaomo looked at Qi Longbing, his eyes gleaming with a radiant light. Then he walked over to a bar nearby, poured two large glasses of Lafite, handed one to Qi Longbing, and slowly sipped his own.
His heart was very calm, no longer experiencing any turmoil. He often felt that by caring too much about this relationship, he prevented his own heart from finding peace.
"Qi Longbing, I’ve thought a lot, and I really think we both should take it easy. Nowadays, relationships co and go quickly. Perhaps the passion between us was intense, but as the years pass, that passion will fade and beco as tasteless as boiled water."
"Do you feel it too? Well, I don’t want to say much more now. I just feel that the best way for us to interact is as friends. I believe that would be the best kind of relationship for us. Don’t you think so?"
"Well, I know you are Candy’s biological father, and Candy loves you very much, as you love her. After you two got in touch, it’s made Candy feel that she can’t be without you. I don’t deny it at all—you are really good to Candy, and you are her biological father!"
"I also hope that Candy will always rember this feeling of love. I truly hope that you will always treat Candy this well and always make her feel the love of a father. Well, that’s what I wanted to say."
"Also, regarding the feelings between us, I think, let’s both take it easy, shall we? Let’s not force each other too much. It’s best for all of us to get along as friends. Don’t you agree?"
"Because I feel that being too demanding of each other will only bring pressure, and only make the other person unhappy. If we’re all unhappy together, then what’s the point in staying together?"
"Moreover, if the pressure I bring you makes you feel unhappy and under imnse strain, then you’re bound to start feeling resentful, right? Actually, the best way to get along is the simple way. And a simple way ans we have to understand each other and then find the most suitable way of getting along. Don’t you feel that, actually, being friends is what suits us best?"
Hua Xiaomo spoke at length, his eyes now carrying a gentle smile.
At this mont, he was no longer troubled by any issues. He felt this way of thinking, this attitude, was the best—the fairest to himself and to Qi Longbing.
He no longer wanted to engage in conflict with any man. Living a simple life was also quite nice. He would never feel lonely or isolated because he had enough wealth to live splendidly.
It’s not right to think one can’t live without a man. Yes, he understood this clearly now. Besides, with Candy, he would never feel his life was lonely or isolated. On the contrary, this happiness belonged to him, and to Candy too, didn’t it?
Yes, that was indeed what he thought, how he saw things. His thoughts were truly that simple, requiring no complexities or changes.
Qi Longbing had never expected Hua Xiaomo to speak this way, but his words still touched his heart. At that mont, he truly didn’t know what to say. He really didn’t want to just be good friends.
