C168 Forget the Promise

After all, after more than ten years, they were still young. There were a lot of people and incidents who had experienced the passing of time, not to mention the fact that Xiao Yichen was born in such a prosperous family. How could they still remember the old man who only had half a year's time when he was young?

However, after Xiao Yichen returned to the country, he had sent all kinds of expensive tonics and ingredients to his family several times. They were all very, very rare and precious.

However, he had never mentioned Pei Luoluo. It was as if they had never seen each other, did not know each other, and did not care about each other.

"Actually, before that, your grandfather came to our house first. He took a photo of you and showed it to Luo Luo. He said that if he saw you again, he would be your brother. He will take care of you for the rest of his life. At that time, Luo Luo was still young, and she didn't know what it meant to live forever. But it was just a picture, and she had kept it until now. I don't know what you said to her when you left that year. But when you left, she didn't cry, but until your car was completely invisible... Luo Luo started crying."

Pei's father seemed to have fallen into a deep memory. Tears welled up in his eyes, as if he couldn't bear the sadness when he thought of that moment.

Xiao Yichen looked at him without saying a word. His heart felt like it had been hit by a huge impact on the weakest part of his chest. Then, he felt as if his heart was going to be torn apart. It was a bone-piercing pain.

"At that time, Pei Luoluo was only 13 years old. The night after you left, she had a high fever. She was mumbling your name, saying that you must remember your promise and that you are not allowed to marry anyone else."

Pei's father's words fell silent at the next moment. He did not look at Xiao Yichen, but stared blankly at the unfinished chess game on the chessboard.

"Yechen, then it's settled! Before we meet, neither you nor I can fall in love with other people!"

"Alright!"

That's right. How could he forget that this was the last thing Pei Luoluo said to him when they parted ways? It was also their final promise. In the end, he violated it.

"Dad..." When Xiao Yichen spoke, he found that his throat was so hoarse that he could not speak.

"I am very grateful that you are still thinking about us after so many years. You helped us solve all the problems in our family and even married my daughter." Pei Luoluo raised her hand and patted Xiao Yichen's shoulder heavily.

That force was the strength of a senior who trusted the younger generation firmly. His eyes were full of gratitude. It was a father who was very glad that his daughter could find a happy home and marry a man who knew that she loved her. He felt gratified.

At that moment, Xiao Yichen was silent.

Because he actually did not have the courage to take responsibility and could not bear Pei's father's trust. Because he also began to be unable to differentiate between good and good for Pei Luoluo at this moment. Was he feeling guilty and wanted to make up for it, or was it really from the bottom of his heart?

After dinner, Pei Luoluo still returned to the villa with Xiao Yichen. Regarding Pei's mother's initial suggestion, Pei Luoluo firmly refused to hug Xiao Yichen's arm and shook her head. The reason was that she did not want to be separated from her husband, not even for a day!

Xiao Yichen, however, also let her character be. He repeatedly promised his mother-in-law and father-in-law that he would take good care of Pei Luoluo, and that he could move all the chefs in the world to his house for her.

"Alright, I admit that you are more persuasive than me." Pei Luoluo sat in the car and pouted. Then she took out the sour plum that her father had bought for her from her bag and ate them one by one.

"Aren't you afraid that it will hurt your teeth?" Xiao Yichen coldly pulled the corner of his mouth. When he smelled the sour plum blossom, he felt that his mouth was full of sour gums.

"Do you want one?" Pei Luoluo casually took one out and stretched it to Xiao Yichen's side.

"Take it!" Her tone was cold and cold. Pei Luoluo saw it and stuffed the sour plum back into her mouth.

During this period of time, her relationship with Xiao Yichen seemed to have advanced too quickly, but also seemed to be very natural and did not feel too sudden. It was just that this kind of sudden change from being too cold to being warm made Pei Luoluo's heart feel uneasy.

"Tomorrow..." When they returned to the villa, Pei Luoluo had just stepped into the door when she was stopped by Xiao Yichen's words that were about to stop.

She knew what he wanted to say, so she did not turn her head and only faintly replied, "Go."

Those two words seemed to have used up the last of Pei Luoluo's strength. She felt that this topic was too dull. She did not want to be messed up by this kind of atmosphere every time.

Since he could not change, there was no need to struggle. He had his freedom, she did not need to interfere. He had the right to tell and she had the right to not listen.

However, the time they spent together during this half a month had changed Pei Luoluo back to her original form and back to reality.

As expected, her life in Xiao house was the most comfortable and beautiful? Even Xiao Yichen was the kind of person she wanted, the kind of person she wanted.

The cool night breeze passed through the floor-to-ceiling window that Pei Luoluo had opened and mercilessly swept through every inch of the house where the air conditioner stayed.

Pei Luoluo crossed her arms over her knees and her jaw was propped against her knees as she listened to the wind. She looked at the hazy street lamps not far away, standing alone on the lonely and cold road of the community.

For some reason, Pei Luoluo felt that the lamp lamp lamp that looked so lonely was very pitiful. She had clearly used all of her strength to light up and offer her only value. It didn't stop. However, no matter how hard he tried, he could not escape the fate of the street lamp. It was its duty to not be able to escape from being seen from afar and then be recognized by the world. He had to do what he had to do, until it broke and he was abandoned in sorrow.

"I am also the inconspicuous street lamp in Xiao Yichen's eyes, but what I can do is what he doesn't need. What I can give him is not something he recognizes. It looks like it is useless! "Pei Luoluo sounded like a deflated balloon when she spoke in a self-deprecating tone. She, who had no strength to support herself, just stood there and was blown away by the cold wind. However, she refused to close the window and cover herself with the blanket.

She thought about what Zhang Chen had said that day and then looked at Pei Luoluo. She did not have anything. She did not have a strong family background, nor did she have any money. She had even been a debtor in the past.

These thoughts were forcefully instilled into Pei Luoluo. She was not worthy. She did not deserve to have Xiao Yichen, she did not deserve to stand by his side, she did not deserve to beg for his good, she did not deserve to live together with him and grow old together.

No matter how much she did not want to admit it, this cruel reality had long been carved into her heart.

The phone beside her rang on WeChat. Pei Luoluo lifted her eyes and opened it. It was Lyi Zihan who had not received any news for a long time.

"Are you asleep?"

"No, I did not."

"What's wrong? Did you fall out again or was it a blow?"

"Lyi Zihan, is our friendship boat going to be overturned just like that?"

"Okay, okay, okay. Let me tell you some good news so you can have some fun!"

"Go ahead."

Pei Luoluo shrunk her neck and tilted her head to look at her phone.
