In Xia Xiaoluo’s mind, Ling Tianyi had betrayed her and their love. Although she was sad and didn’t want to give up their love, she made up her mind this time that no matter how hard Ling Tianyi tried to please her, she would refuse him firmly.
A month passed before they knew it. Xia Xiaoluo got the salary from the training school. Once she got the money, she called Ling Tianyi first time.
“Xiaoluo, you contact me finally. You have no idea how eager I am waiting for your call all the time! It’s so good! Where are you now? I’m still in the company, but I’ll come to meet you at once!” Ling Tianyi said excitedly.
During this month, Ling Tianyi was refused by Xia Xiaoluo for many times. He was afraid that the woman he loved most would leave him. But when he saw the words “darling” appeared on the caller ID, he was so excited that his hands trembled.
“I’m at the training school where I work. I get the salary today. I’ll return the money I borrowed from you. I can return it to you today!” Xia Xiaoluo said coldly.
Ling Tianyi frowned at once when he heard this. Xia Xiaoluo wanted to return the money to him. Did this mean that she wanted to disassociate herself from him? He would not allow this to happen.
“I’ll come to meet you at once. I’ll be there soon. Don’t walk around, and don’t leave. Wait for me!” Ling Tianyi didn’t want to argue with Xia Xiaoluo on the phone. Instead, he wanted to get there from the company immediately so that they could meet each other. Although he didn’t like Xia Xiaoluo’s returning the money, he would take it as an opportunity to meet her, and he had to seize the opportunity.
Just as Ling Tianyi was about to leave the company hurriedly, he bumped into his secretary Luna. She said: “Manager Ling, there will be a very important meeting for the board of directors at two o’clock in the afternoon. It relates to the discussion of the new market you focused on.”
Chu Wei was very sad about Cheng Yalin’s death, so Ling Tianyi sent Chu Wei to the European branch to relax. After that, Luna almost played Chu Wei’s role.
“Put off the meeting!” Ling Tianyi said. Compared with the woman he loved most, the new market was not worth mentioning.
“Manager Ling, please don’t go now! When will you have the meeting again? I have to tell the directors clearly.” Luna shouted, but Ling Tianyi had entered the elevator.
Ling Tianyi drove fast all the way, so he appeared in front of Xia Xiaoluo quickly.
“I’m sorry to keep you waiting, Xiaoluo.” Ling Tianyi scratched his head, looking embarrassed.
In fact, during this period, Ling Tianyi stayed with Xia Xiaoluo silently, or just followed her quietly all the time. Just because of the important meeting in the afternoon, he left for a while. Unexpectedly, Xia Xiaoluo called him. If he had known it, he would not have gone back to the company. Then when Xia Xiaoluo called him, he could appear at once.
“It doesn’t matter! I didn’t wait long.” Xia Xiaoluo said.
“Let’s go to the new restaurant opposite the road, I’ll treat you to have the milk tea, OK?” Ling Tianyi didn’t want to stand outside like this. There were too many people, and it was not suitable to have a talk.
“In fact, I just want to return the money, just…” Before Xia Xiaoluo finished, Ling Tianyi said: “Let’s go there! If you give the money to me on the road, aren’t you afraid of being robbed? If the money is robbed in your hands, it’s none of my business and I’ll take it just as you haven’t paid me back yet!”
“Let’s go there! Just sit down for a moment.” Ling Tianyi pulled Xia Xiaoluo’s arms.
Xia Xiaoluo had no choice but to agree. But she didn’t want Ling Tianyi to pull her arms. “Just go to the western restaurant, but please take your hands away first!”
Ling Tianyi let Xia Xiaoluo go and shrugged his shoulders. “After you!”
When they were crossing the road, Ling Tianyi still touched Xia Xiaoluo’s shoulder, waist and other places from time to time by taking the excuse as concerning her safety.
In the western restaurant, Ling Tianyi pulled a chair for Xia Xiaoluo gently in the private room.
“What would you like to eat?” Ling Tianyi asked gently.
“No need, there’s no need to waste the time.” Xia Xiaoluo said coldly.
Ling Tianyi sighed helplessly, but he still ordered something that Xia Xiaoluo liked to eat and drink in common days.
Xia Xiaoluo took out one thousand yuan from her bag and pushed it directly to Ling Tianyi. “This is one thousand yuan. Count it, please. If there is no problem, please give the IOU back to me.”
“Xiaoluo, are we really going to be like this?” Ling Tianyi said heartbrokenly with his eyes full of sadness.
“Financial matters should be settled clearly even between twin brothers! What’s more, we have nothing to do with each other now. And I’m not the one who borrows money but not pays it back!” Xia Xiaoluo pushed the money to Ling Tianyi again. “Count it, count it clearly on the spot. Then it will be settled.”
“One thousand yuan. It’s less than a meal that I treat you. Every day I put my work aside and follow you all the time. You can’t afford my loss. Thousands of one thousand yuan won’t be enough.” Ling Tianyi shook his head. “I don’t want you to give me the money. I just don’t want to figure it out so clearly with you. I love you. I am sure that you are my only wife. Since we are destined to be a couple, what is the whole point?”
“I don’t want to be a couple with you!” Xia Xiaoluo said unhappily. “Count the money quickly and give me the IOU back after counting. Since then, we won’t owe each other and we will never meet again.”
Looking at Xia Xiaoluo who was very impatient, Ling Tianyi was very sad as if he could hear the sound of his broken heart.
Actually, Xia Xiaoluo just pretended not to care about it. In fact, these days, she lost her sleep every night, crying for the whole night. She loved Ling Tianyi. She did not know how much she loved him until she saw his betrayal. She was reluctant to leave him. But she was not willing to compromise, because she had her own pride.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t take the IOU with me. I don’t want to embarrass you on purpose, but you told me that you wanted to return the money all of a sudden. I really don’t have time to go home to get it!” Ling Tianyi said. He didn’t take the IOU with him, but even if he had taken it, he would not give it back to Xia Xiaoluo. Because if he gave the IOU to her, it meant that it was difficult for them to meet again.
“Then when can you give it back to me?” Xia Xiaoluo asked. She seemed to be determined to make a clean break with Ling Tianyi.
“If you don’t mind going home with me again, we can go back and get it now!” Ling Tianyi said. He especially wanted to take Xia Xiaoluo home. He mentioned this before because he had arranged a surprise at home.
“No, I’ll wait for you here. You can go home to get the IOU for me. It’s convenient for you to drive home anyway.” Xia Xiaoluo murmured. She thought that it was improper to ask Ling Tianyi to fetch the IOU for her. But it was the last time, so she asked for it reluctantly.
“I will be worried if you’re here alone!” Ling Tianyi made an excuse. Of course, as long as Xia Xiaoluo was out of his sight, he would be worried about her.
At this time, the waiter sent the things Ling Tianyi ordered.
“Look! You ordered so much, it’s a waste if no one eats it! You go home to get the IOU and I eat here. After I eat them, you will come back.” Xia Xiaoluo insisted. She didn’t want to go to their former home. The memory was wonderful, but the reality was cruel.
Ling Tianyi had no choice but to drive home alone to get the IOU. Of course, when he left, the one thousand yuan was still on the table.
After Ling Tianyi went home, he found the non-standard IOU written by Xia Xiaoluo. He didn’t want to give it back to her, ending their relationship. He must do something, he must try his best to save his love.
Ling Tianyi threw a vase on the floor, and then he fell on the fragments of the vase heavily. His arm was full of blood, which was terrible.
Xia Xiaoluo was drinking the milk tea and having the snacks when her phone rang. It was from Ling Tianyi’s villa.
“What? Everything went well just now, how could he fall down and get hurt?” Xia Xiaoluo stood up hurriedly. Even if she was angry, even if she wanted to break up with Ling Tianyi, she still loved him and cared about him.
“Mrs. Ling, Mr. Ling is in a bad condition, and we can’t deal with it. Now Mr. Ling refuses to go to the hospital. He says that you are going to leave him, so it doesn’t matter if he is disabled. Mrs. Ling, you’d better come back and have a look! We really don’t know what to do.”
“Okay, okay! I’ll come back right away!” Xia Xiaoluo was about to leave, but the waiter stopped her. “I’m sorry, miss. You haven’t paid for it yet!”
“How much is it?” Xia Xiaoluo asked. She was eager to see Ling Tianyi, so she didn’t want to delay the time here.
“It’s 980 yuan in all!” The waiter said.
“THAT much?” Xia Xiaoluo exclaimed. It was just milk tea and some snacks.
“I’m very sorry. Our restaurant is a first-class western restaurant. All the dishes are at the marked price. When the man ordered just now, he knew the prices. If you don’t believe me, we can show you the price list again.” The waiter said politely, but his eyes were full of contempt. He thought that Xia Xiaoluo couldn’t afford the meal.
“Here’s one thousand yuan. Keep the change.” Xia Xiaoluo gave the money that she intended to pay Ling Tianyi back to the waiter.
“Thank you. Please take care!” Xia Xiaoluo has already rushed several meters away before the waiter finished talking to her.
Xia Xiaoluo rushed to the villa. The servant greeted her immediately, telling her about Ling Tianyi’s situation.
“Ling Tianyi, what are you doing? You are injured. Why don’t you go to the hospital?” Xia Xiaoluo rushed to Ling Tianyi and looked at his arm full of blood. She was sad but angry.
“It doesn’t matter. It’s just trauma. It is not painful! What’s more, if you leave me, my heart will be more painful than my arms.” Ling Tianyi said and looked at Xia Xiaoluo with his sad eyes.
“No, you must go to the hospital. Right now!” Xia Xiaoluo went to pull Ling Tianyi.
Ling Tianyi pulled Xia Xiaoluo into his arms without a hitch. “Darling, let me embrace you again. I love you!”
“Don’t be crazy! If you don’t go to the hospital, your blood will run out and you will die. Do you know?” Xia Xiaoluo roared.
“If you leave me, I would rather die. It is just my karma. I swore that if I did something wrong, I wouldn’t die in peace. I have the retribution now. But darling, I love you. My heart has never changed.” Ling Tianyi said sadly.
“Did you call an ambulance?” Xia Xiaoluo asked the servant around her.
“We don’t dare to call an ambulance. Mr. Ling doesn’t allow us to do that!” The servant said timidly.
“Call an ambulance at once!” Xia Xiaoluo said firmly.
“Xiaoluo, my darling, forgive me this time. Otherwise, I really can’t stay alive.” Ling Tianyi used the ways that he disdained most before. He didn’t want to keep any principles for the sake of his lover.
Ling Tianyi did fall down and get hurt on purpose. But when he said that he could not live without Xia Xiaoluo, he really meant that. He couldn’t imagine how he would live if Xia Xiaoluo really left him.
