Luo Yanyun's father was a piano teacher of Qiao Hongya and Liang Boqin. The Luo Family was famous in the past. If it wasn't for the war ...
This all happened in the past, still, things between her and Qiao Hongya were fresh in her mory. Even though she rembered it now, she still felt that it was only yesterday that it happened.
"After that day, I didn't know what you were thinking. I thought since you were drunk and didn't know what you were doing, so I didn't dare look at you. It was only when you asked soone to give this necklace and asked to give you a definite answer that I finally made up my mind."
"No, no!" Qiao Hongya cried and desperately shook his head. "I'm not a drunk person with a ssy nature. I've loved you for a long ti. From the mont I ca to your house and t you, I fell in love with you at first sight, but your family's upbringing is very strict. I've always suppressed my feelings for you and didn't dare to say it."
Those were the tis when the mind was backward and was half feudal and half-open.
How could Luo Yanyun's father allow his unmarried daughter to spend all day with an unmarried man?
Impossible.
Qiao Hongya cried until his throat beca hoarse. "That day, I was indeed drunk, but I wasn't drunk until I knew nothing. I knew... I knew it was you. I borrowed alcohol to build up my courage. My feelings for you are real and unforgettable. In these few decades, I have never forgotten you!"
Luo Yanyun looked at Qiao Hongya with red eyes. She smiled sadly. "I asked soone to bring a letter to you and that I wanted to et you on the bridge. But I stood there all night and you didn't co."
"I've explained it. I've explained it to you before! Not that I didn't go, I indeed went there! But soone was chasing after ! I'm afraid I'll drag you down with , so I... Xiao Yun, you have to trust , I'm telling the truth. I indeed went there."
Luo Yanyun talked to herself as if she didn't hear Qiao Hongya's explanation, "Then, when I found out that I was pregnant, I was very scared at the ti. I was afraid that my father would beat to death and that I would be dipped into pig cages by my clan. However, as my stomach grew bigger and bigger, I could no longer hide it. My father dragged to the ancestral hall and whipped hard with the whip. I protected my stomach and endured the abuse and the scorn by the mbers of my clan."
"I really hated you back then. I hated your heartlessness. I hated your irresponsibility. I hated myself more. That night, I was actually ready ..."
"Xiao Yun!" Qiao Hongya knelt on the ground with a loud thump. He raised his hand and slapped himself, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry ..."
Luo Yanyun forcefully opened her eyes and held back her tears as she took a deep breath. "Just when I thought my father would beat to death, Liang Boqin rushed out and hugged , ignoring the obstruction of my family mbers. In front of my father, in front of all my clan, he said that the child in my womb is his."
"My father went into a rage and hit him fiercely with a whip. My brothers also punched and kicked him, causing him to cough up blood. Yet, he still hugged tightly, protecting ."
Qiao Hongya knelt on the ground and looked at Luo Yanyun. He cried so hard that he no longer looked human. His body trembled violently.
Qiao Hongya was already old. Han Yuanjun was afraid that he would not be able to take the blow and went up to help him. "Grandpa Qiao, don't be like that. You need to be careful with your body. Although this matter is heart-piercing, it is still a thing of the past, and even if you want to atone for it, it is useless. You are given a chance now, do it better."
Qiao Hongya nodded and pushed Han Yuanjun's hand away. "Jun, don't worry. My body can take it. I want to hear what she wants to say. Once she's done, I will use the rest of my life to take care of her."
Liang Zixuan took a tissue and wiped the tears from Luo Yanyun's face. She also gently advised, "Grandmother, you just finished the operation. Don't push yourself too hard."
"I'm fine." Luo Yanyun gave Liang Zixuan a faint smile and held her hand. Again, she looked at Qiao Hongya. "Then, my father expelled from the Luo Family. Liang Boqin married to protect my reputation. When the war started, he told that he would leave and wanted to stay in the Liang Family properly. He knew who my daughter's father was, but he didn't care and asked if I was willing to spend the rest of my life with him if he could co back alive. I am thankful that he saved my grace, thankful for his tolerance of my daughter and ."
"But ..." Luo Yanyun choked, her tears fell like rain. "He left and never ca back! I am a widow, but I rember what I promised him. Whether he cos back or not, I will still be his wife. This is my gratitude towards him."
Luo Yanyun suddenly started laughing with a sad face. Her grief and despair had reached their limits. Ever her laughter was the most painful one.
"Ah Ya, I know you've been looking for . A few years ago, I avoided you because of my guilt for Liang Boqin. But then, I was relieved."
She suddenly looked at Hao Shan with a mocking smile. "You already have a woman on your side, and her daughter even called you her father. Since you already have a wife and your own family, I will not disturb your happy life. The bitter and tiring truth, I will swallow it all myself."
"No! No! You've misunderstood!" Qiao Hongya explained hurriedly. "Xiao Yun, listen to . I'm not married, and I've never made a family with anyone."
He then pointed to Hao Shan. "She was the wife of a man who rescued . Her husband was shot several tis and before he died, he held my hand, asking to take care of his wife and children, and when the war was over, I found them and brought them to Arica. But she's not my wife, and even though I live under the sa roof as them, I don't do anything extre with her!"
"Her daughter was nad after because I was afraid she would be bullied by other children and looked down upon by others.. That is why I accepted her as my adopted child, but she is definitely not my daughter! Xiao Yun, you should know that I will never be with anyone else. Only you!"
