280: Chapter 280: So Things Are Just Like That 280: Chapter 280: So Things Are Just Like That Han Jinhui asked, “Are you going to look for Xiao Yu?”
“Yes.”
Han Jinhui’s expression darkened slightly.
After thinking for a mont and realizing he could not keep Xiao Yu’s situation a secret, he said, “Co back to the house with first.
I have sothing to tell you.”
“There’s no rush.
Let’s talk after I find Xiao Yu and co back.”
“It’s urgent.”
“I’m not in a hurry.” Han Dingxiang didn’t want to waste ti and was about to leave.
However, at this mont, Tang Hui spoke up, “Dingxiang, a little while won’t make a difference.
Listen to what your dad has to say first.”
Seeing that the mood of the two seed a bit off, Han Dingxiang cald down a bit and said, “Alright then.”
So, the three of them returned to the house.
“Dad, tell , what is it?” After returning to the house, Han Dingxiang beca anxious again.
Han Jinhui looked at her eager expression and really couldn’t bear to tell her about Xiao Yu’s situation.
However, he knew that Han Dingxiang would find out sooner or later.
It’s better to have a short pain than a long one, and better early pain than late.
“Dingxiang, today I went to Xiao’s residence and saw Xiao Yu.”
Speaking requires skill.
Although Han Jinhui had decided to tell Han Dingxiang the truth, he needed to prepare what to say to ease her pain as much as possible.
“You went to Xiao’s residence?
Why didn’t you take with you?
Oh, Dad, how could you go there without ?” Han Dingxiang complained in a coquettish manner.
She had been waiting for Xiao Yu so anxiously, only to find out her father went to Xiao’s residence without her, which really frustrated her.
She didn’t even want to listen to what he had to say.
Han Jinhui paid no attention to her complaint and continued, “Xiao Yu, this kid, has changed a lot compared to three years ago.
He has changed so much that I almost didn’t recognize him.”
“Has he beco very handso?” Han Dingxiang moved closer to ask, chuckling.
Han Jinhui’s expression froze, seeing his daughter’s hopeful look, he really couldn’t bear it.
He stiffly nodded, “Yes, he is quite handso.”
“Since he’s handso, then why do you look so unhappy?” Han Dingxiang eyed Han Jinhui with suspicion; since they entered the house, she had not seen a smile on Han Jinhui’s face, including her mother, Tang Hui.
Thinking of their return from Xiao’s residence, sothing struck Han Dingxiang’s heart.
Could it be that sothing bad had happened to Xiao Yu?
Like missing an arm or leg, or having a worthless talent.
This would explain why Xiao Yu didn’t co looking for her.
Xiao Yu had always been proud.
But she didn’t care about these things.
She said, “Dad, has sothing happened to Xiao Yu?
Even if that’s the case, I don’t mind.
I only want to be with him for the rest of my life.
Even being an ordinary person doesn’t matter.
I hope Mom and Dad can support us.
I would be very happy.”
Upon hearing this, Han Jinhui and Tang Hui felt even more pained inside.
Such rare and devoted lovers.
Yet heaven always seems to find various ways to tornt them.
He sighed, “Xiao Yu indeed experienced so things, but not what you’re thinking.”
“What is it then?” Han Dingxiang couldn’t wait to ask.
Han Jinhui said, “Xiao Yu has been missing for three years.
For so people, three years is as short as three days.
But for others, it feels as long as thirty years.”
“Three years, enough ti to experience things many people will never face in their entire lives.
Three years, enough ti to transform a person completely.”
“Dad, what are you trying to say?” Han Dingxiang felt a surge of unease in her heart upon hearing this.
Her voice beca instantly anxious.
She stared intently into Han Jinhui’s eyes, hoping he would quickly get to the point.
But Han Jinhui maintained his pace, “Three years ago, Xiao Yu fell off a cliff, he didn’t die, a woman saved him.”
“With that woman’s ticulous care, Xiao Yu recovered.
By that ti, he had just turned eighteen, so he underwent awakening.”
“Admirably, Xiao Yu awakened the SSS-level Spirit Talent!”
SSS-level talent!
Hearing this, Han Dingxiang’s mouth opened wide in astonishnt—Xiao Yu had actually awakened an SSS-level talent?
That’s wonderful!
She herself was an SSS-level, a perfect match for him, a match made in heaven!
However, before she could delight in the news, Han Jinhui continued, “The woman who saved him was about his age and also awakened the SSS-level Artifact Spirit Talent.”
At these words, Han Dingxiang felt her heart lurch, and the joy she felt just monts ago vanished without a trace.
She braced herself for what was to co.
Indeed, what Han Jinhui said next changed her expression abruptly, “That woman’s ho was in a region frequently plagued by Demon Beasts.
Just as Xiao Yu was preparing to return, an accident occurred, and her ho was destroyed by a Demon Beast attack.
With their family shattered and scattered, to survive, they both entered into a Contract.”
Han Jinhui spoke at length hoping to give Han Dingxiang so ntal buffer so that she wouldn’t collapse upon hearing the bad news.
But he overestimated Han Dingxiang’s resilience.
Just as he finished speaking, Han Dingxiang’s face turned deathly pale, drained of all color.
She stood there as if struck by lightning, motionless, her eyes dull and lifeless, exuding an air of utter despair as if she was a husk stripped of its soul.
The pain of an adult can sotis be intense and silent.
Han Dingxiang didn’t make a sound of grief, just standing there, but anyone could see she was overwheld by boundless sorrow.
She was like a balloon ready to burst upon the slightest touch, not to be disturbed carelessly.
However, her parents, Han Jinhui and Tang Hui, knew that this couldn’t continue; unexpressed emotions would only cause more damage.
Tang Hui approached Han Dingxiang and hugged her, “Dingxiang, think positively, so things are just not ant to go as we wish.”
“Mom, I’m so tired, I want to sleep.”
Han Dingxiang was perated with deep anguish, and after uttering those words, she seed to have expended all her energy, weakly walking towards her courtyard.
She wobbled as she stepped over the threshold.
Tang Hui hurriedly supported her.
“Dingxiang…”
“I’m fine.”
Han Dingxiang didn’t even lift her eyes as she continued toward the courtyard, now only the courtyard could offer her a shred of warmth in her heart.
Han Jinhui and Tang Hui watched her retreating figure, feeling incredibly distressed.
They knew full well how devastated Han Dingxiang was, but they were also helpless.
So things are just that way, not turning out as we wish.
“Xiao Cui, take good care of the young lady, and make sure she doesn’t do anything foolish.”
“Yes.”
