Xiao Mu paused for a mont and asked, "Why did you suddenly apply to transfer back to Beijing? Didn’t you not want to be too close to your parents?"
"Returning to Beijing is more beneficial for career advancent. Isn’t it normal for to apply to go back?" Ouyang Hao smiled faintly, but beneath his smile, there was a hint of sadness. "Besides, there’s no reason for to stay here any longer."
He had waited here for four years, still not seeing the person he was waiting for. He thought he would never see her in his lifeti.
Xiao Mu knew what Ouyang Hao was referring to and couldn’t help but feel sorry for her foolish younger brother.
There were tis in the past when Ouyang Hao’s nurous romantic entanglents drove her to distraction, but now she would prefer him to be as he was before, at least then he wouldn’t be suffering so much.
Xiao Mu collected herself and continued to help Ouyang Hao pack his things. As she categorized the items, she found a broken guitar on the wall while gathering the guitar.
"How did this guitar break? It’s in such bad shape, why are you still keeping it?"
Ouyang Hao glanced at the guitar, his gaze wandering as flashes of old mories crossed his mind.
He lowered his eyes sadly and suddenly his lips parted slightly, "It got accidentally dropped and broke. Just throw it away."
mories are like smoke, the past is gone. He had been holding onto the past for four years, and it was ti to let go.
"Weren’t you always very careful with your guitars? And now you broke one?"
"Everyone has monts of carelessness." Ouyang Hao smiled.
"Are you planning to live with your parents when you return this ti?"
"Yes, I haven’t been ho much these past years. Even though my mom doesn’t say anything, she still feels hurt. If I stay by her side, she’ll feel better."
"Aren’t you afraid she’ll pressure you to get married when you go back?"
"If she pressures , she pressures . It’s no big deal. In the end, we all have to get married sooner or later, it’s just a matter of ti."
"Since when did you beco so laid-back?"
"Sis, it’s because you’ve been too busy making money and haven’t been paying attention to your brother’s updates."
"You and your jokes."
⋯⋯
As soon as Ouyang Hao arrived in the Imperial City, he was called ho by Mrs. Ouyang’s relentless phone calls.
When he walked into the living room, he saw Mrs. Ouyang curled up on the sofa, sobbing, while Father Ou sat silently next to her, his face looking very displeased.
"Auntie, what happened to my parents?" Ouyang Hao asked the maid nearby.
"The eldest young master just ca back."
Ouyang Hao understood instantly. In recent years, every ti Ouyang Che ca ho, he would cause an uproar. After a while, Ouyang Hao had gotten used to it.
It was funny. In the past, he was the one who always caused trouble, while Ouyang Che was mature, stable, and successful, the child everyone envied. But sohow, things had changed, and Ouyang Hao had beco the sensible one.
Seeing the current situation, Ouyang Hao wisely decided to go upstairs. He couldn’t stand the heavy atmosphere in the living room.
However, he had barely taken a few steps when he heard the voice of his family’s Empress Dowager behind him, "You’ve co ho and you’re not even greeting your old mother before heading upstairs?"
Ouyang Hao paused in his steps and had a bad premonition. He turned back to the living room.
You can dodge a monk but not the temple. If his family’s Empress Dowager wanted to question him, she would catch him no matter where he went. It was better to face it head-on and resolve everything early.
"Mom, what do you want to talk about?"
"How are things with you and Nian Nian?"
"Everything’s fine."
"Since that’s the case, why don’t you just set a date for the wedding?"
