Cry?
Ling Tianya had never seen Ling Tao act in such a vulnerable way in front of her before, besides the day he had discovered the actions of Qu Wan and Lawyer Bai. Then, he had become extremely sick. Normally, he was also very strong and optimistic.
Seeing Ling Tianya’s expression, Xiao Hong knew what she was thinking. “The Chairman once told me that he is extremely sorry towards you and the younger Miss. Therefore, he wants to fully repair the damage he has caused. However, he cannot tell anyone else about his pain and can only silently endure it because everything was brought on by himself.
Ling Tianya’s face became sullen. She was aware of everything Xiao Hong was saying. She also knew that she had never really cared about Ling Tao’s feelings at the time.
“I pitied the Chairman, so I often listened to his grievances and had a drink with him. The Chairman was even more reluctant to go home after you got married. He said that no matter where he went, he was reminded of the past. He felt bad.” Xiao Hong looked sincerely at Ling Tianya. “I have been the Chairman’s secretary for so long, and I had never longed for anything else, nor have I ever thought of marrying into a rich household. If I really had that thought, then I would have taken action 20 years ago. Why wait until I’m 30 and not do something when I was younger?”
Ling Tianya looked at Xiao Hong, carefully studying her facial expressions. Xiao Hong didn’t look like she was lying. At the very least, from Ling Tianya’s experience with analyzing expressions, she didn’t see any evidence of lying.
Therefore, either Xiao Hong was speaking the truth or she was an excellent liar. Xiao Hong open-heartedly looked at Ling Tianya. “I remained as an underling and stayed with the Chairman. After some time, the Chairman and I became close… I am being honest. I have no reason to hide anything from you.”
In the living room, Ling Tao and Ruan Zeyan stared at each other. Ling Tao was a little worried. He was afraid that Xiao Hong and Ling Tianya would argue. One was his daughter, the other was pregnant with his child. He didn’t want to harm either of them.
“This… I should take a look.” Ling Tao looked as if he was sitting on pins and needles. Just as he was about to stand up, Ruan Zeyan handed him a cup of tea. “Tianya is someone who will act appropriately.”
Ling Tao didn’t have anything else to say. They were both pregnant women. It was best that they didn’t fight, especially Tianya. She was already 5 months gone. If she got angry and something happened to her, then it would be his fault.
Thinking this, Ling Tao regretted telling Ling Tianya what was going on. He felt that he was being selfish. He could have told Ling Tianya after she gave birth.
Just as Ling Tao was beginning to regret his actions, Xiao Hong came out of the courtyard supporting Ling Tianya.
Seeing them returning, Ling Tao quickly went over. He took Ling Tianya from Xiao Hong and took her over to the sofa.
When she saw Ling Tao walking over, not worried about Xiao Hong but herself, Ling Tianya’s last lingering complaints disappeared.
Just as Xiao Hong said, Ling Tao had just recently turned 50 years of age. He still had a long road ahead of him in the future and therefore needed someone by his side.
In reality, whether Ling Tao remarried or found a woman, Ling Tianya would not reject the idea. Of course, the woman must not be evil because Ling Tao could not take another betrayal.
