Chapter 389: I didn’t protect you well_1

Mother Zhang held her luggage in one hand and guided her upstairs with the other.

And just like that, Hai Xiaotang began to live at her old ho.

Ho was the best; no one would bully her here, and she would not have to think about leaving even if she was upset.

Because this was her eternal ho.

But this very ho was sold off by her uncle.

The thought made Hai Xiaotang miserable again. She missed her grandfather terribly. If only he were here.

Thinking about this, she suddenly thought of Dongfang Yu.

And the thought of him made her feel all the worse.

But then, they probably had called it quits, right? She had been living back at ho for two days, and he never once contacted her.

He must have really decided to give up on her, to stop caring for good.

Sotis Hai Xiaotang thought, since their relationship was so exhausting, it might be for the best if they both gave up.

But then, sotis, she felt inexplicably unwilling.

Had she, perhaps, truly fallen in love with him again?

Hai Xiaotang found this hard to believe. How could this have happened?

The man she swore in her last life she would never love again, with death as her witness; how could she love him again in this lifeti?

Hai Xiaotang, can you ever grow up?

Just as Hai Xiaotang was banging her head with a pillow, Mother Zhang’s voice suddenly ca from outside the door, “Miss, co out quickly, guess who’s here!”

Hai Xiaotang’s heart jolted violently.

Was it Dongfang Yu?

“Miss, Mr. Tao is here!” Mother Zhang exclaid happily.

Hai Xiaotang froze slightly. Tao Yi? Why was he here?

After Hai Xiaotang was kidnapped last ti, Tao Yi had sent her a ssage asking about her well-being.

She replied to him, but he didn’t respond back.

Hai Xiaotang had assud that he would not reach out to her again of his own accord. So, discovering that he was here took her by surprise.

Hai Xiaotang quickly ca downstairs and saw Tao Yi sitting in the living room.

He was dressed casually, but for so reason, Hai Xiaotang felt a sense of lancholy coming from him.

Upon hearing her footstep, Tao Yi imdiately turned to look at her.

“Big Brother Tao, what brings you here?” Hae Xiaotang asked with a smile as she walked over to sit beside him.

Tao Yi looked at her, his eyes deep with complex emotions that Hai Xiaotang could not understand.

Hai Xiaotang fidgeted under his gaze, “Big Brother Tao, did you need sothing from ?”

Tao Yi gave a faint smile, “No, I just ca to see if you were ok.”

Hai Xiaotang laughed, “I’m fine. You can see that I’m perfectly fine.”

Tao Yi nodded, “Hmm.”

Then, he fell into silence again. Hai Xiaotang had never seen him like this before, and it felt strange to her.

“Big Brother Tao, what’s really bothering you?” She asked concerned.

“I’m sorry Xiaotang!” Tao Yi suddenly said, looking deeply at her with a serious expression, “Last ti, I failed to protect you! I’m sorry you got hurt, and that I let you down!”

Hai Xiaotang was startled, “You ca all this way just for that?”

“Yes! I had to watch helplessly as you were taken away by those criminals. I promised to protect you but clearly, I was not up to the task. Xiaotang, I am truly sorry.” That was the reason for his remorse.

And why he hadn’t contacted Hai Xiaotang.

Because he was too ashad to face her.

But he had to apologize, so he chose to co today.

Hai Xiaotang suddenly burst into laughter, catching Tao Yi by surprise, “What are you laughing at?”

Hai Xiaotang stifled her laughter and said, “I just didn’t expect that you’d feel so guilty. Big Brother Tao, don’t tell , you didn’t get in touch because you felt you let down and were too ashad to see ?”
