Chapter 1489: Mutual Trust
"We are now good friends on the same front. I can't stand this kind of person saying thank you. Even if it's not your father, I will help someone else." Xu Yue knew that Vivian said this. In order not to put too much psychological burden on her.
"There are still five days left before the jewelry show. I will closely observe Li Wanxiang's whereabouts in the past few days, and then find out his preferences. I will sort it out and send it to your mailbox, so that you can prescribe the right medicine. ." He Dong instructed.
"Okay, I promise to complete the task!" Vivian's serious expression is so cute.
After reaching an agreement, Vivian went home early to rest because she had not slept well for several days because of too many announcements. After seeing Vivian off, Xu Yue and He Dong were the only ones left in the restaurant... …
It seems that in Xu Yue's perception, she has always felt that she is a person who can bear anything, so she is stubborn, she is strong, and she wants to make herself a weakling who cannot be beaten. Only in this way can she be beaten once After being maliciously hurt again, she was able to stand up, live her life well, and protect her mother, but this time He Dong told her with practical actions that she was not alone...
There were still a lot of untouched dishes on the table. Vivian only ate a little. He Dong didn't say anything. He stood up and took out a bottle of red wine from the cabinet next to him, then poured it into two goblets. Xu Yue Looking at him silently, not knowing what to say.
Should she apologize for her random thoughts or thank him for his help throughout the night? Xu Yue could neither say sorry nor know how to express her gratitude to him, so silence was the best choice at the moment.
Xu Yue didn't even know if her impulsive behavior made He Dong unhappy. After all, she couldn't see any expression on his face, so even after so many years, she still couldn't guess what he was thinking, just like He is obviously busy for her, but he would rather be misunderstood by her than tell me the truth...
"Let's have a drink to celebrate our temporary victory." After pouring the wine, He Dong walked up to her with the glass in his hand.
Xu Yue said nothing, took the cup in his hand and drank it all in one gulp!
"Are you still angry about what I said yesterday?" He thought Xu Yue was angry, but in fact she didn't know how to face him. She felt extremely guilty and blamed for her recklessness and impulsiveness.
"No, thank you for helping me." Xu Yue didn't know when she became so cautious. Even when facing the person she loved, she didn't dare to look him in the eyes.
"Yueyue, I know what you are worried about. The reason why I didn't tell you that I rushed home yesterday to investigate Li Wanxiang's matter is because I don't want you to worry. Your father's matter has been suppressed for seven years. We must We need to find the evidence as quickly as possible and clear his name so that your mother's heart will be opened. Only after all these things are resolved can the two of us be truly happy, do you understand?"
"I am a man. I should have been by your side to protect you seven years ago. I can't imagine how you spent those seven years, but since God allowed me to meet you again seven years later, You, I swear to protect you, so can you be more confident and completely rely on me, eh?" He Dong looked at Xu Yue with expectant eyes, that kind of urgent and strong love in his eyes. It was completely reflected in his expression.
It turned out that he still understood her so well, and he also understood that all her timidity and weakness came from her lack of confidence...
What happened to her father caused Xu Yue's originally built-up confidence and belief in life to completely collapse. In the past seven years, there was not a day when she didn't blame him. She attributed all the suffering she encountered to him. That kind of blame made her She couldn't think about the truth or falsehood of the matter. She always thought that he was caught for tax evasion. She even thought about it countless times if he was not her father. Until yesterday, until he told her personally that he was innocent. , at that moment she felt that her seven years of life had been in vain...
If it weren't for her mother's crying that night, Xu Yue might not be willing to face her father now, let alone visit him in prison, which means that he is still living helplessly and tenaciously in prison with unfounded charges. , because he had to wait until the day when the truth came out. It would have been nice if she had gone to see him earlier. She had been thinking about what if, what if, this kind of emotion tortured her and made her unable to feel at ease!
"Yueyue, please don't say anything, okay?" He Dong saw her lowering her head in silence, his tone full of worry.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't be so selfish and only consider my own feelings, but ignore yours. I'm sorry He Dong, I just, I just can't forgive myself..." As she spoke, Xu Yue's voice began to choke.
"Don't say you're sorry. I know you feel very sad and anxious now, but now you are not alone. You have me, and I will be with you. We will work hard to solve the problem together, and everything will be fine." He Dong hugged her and spoke in an extremely gentle tone.
Xu Yue suddenly realized that she was so dependent on him. When he was holding her, it was as if she had fallen into an extremely safe space. In this embrace, she could cry, laugh, make trouble, and be her truest self. , and only he can make her feel so at ease.
Xu Yue buried her head in his arms and nodded vigorously. It felt really good to have a shoulder to rely on!
I don’t know how long it took, He Dong didn’t move and let Xu Yue sob softly in his arms. He held her tighter than before.
“Cry, cry if you want to.” He Dong whispered in Xu Yue’s ear.
Her fragility, her unbearableness, her sadness, her self-blame, all showed up at this moment…
After calming down, He Dong helped Xu Yue wipe the tears from her face, and then took her hand mysteriously and walked out of the restaurant.
“Where are we going?” She asked without a clue while sitting in the car.
“You’ll know when we get there.” He Dong looked very expectant.
He didn’t say anything and she didn’t ask. In short, every time He Dong would bring her different surprises with a mysterious feeling.
It was rare to calm down, she just had to enjoy the time alone with him, after all, no one knew what might happen in the future!
Through the car window, Xu Yue vaguely saw the amusement park in front of her, and in an instant, her memories brought her back to that afternoon seven years ago...
"He Dong, after graduation, can we go to the amusement park together? I saw in TV dramas that lovers would ride carousels and roller coasters together. It was romantic and exciting!" As the sun set, on the way home from school, she said to He Dong expectantly.
