His parents 'love seemed to be just an illusion he had built for himself.
His parents seemed to only be showing affection in front of him.
The dusty memory was like a Pandora's Box, once opened, it could not be kept.
When he came out of the bathroom and met Wen Qiao's worried eyes, he said in a hoarse voice, " "Can you sleep at my place?"
Wen Qiao nodded.
When she came out of the shower, she saw him smoking on the balcony of the bedroom. Upon hearing movement, he pulled open the door of the French windows and entered the bedroom. Wen Qiao went up to hug him and consoled him, " "No matter what happens, you have to know that you have someone backing you up."
Although she was not very powerful, she did her best to protect him.
Fu Nanli finally revealed a smile, caressing her face lovingly. "Shouldn't this be something a man should say to a woman?"
Wen Qiao tilted her head and smiled at him,"who said that only men can protect women?" Men can also have their weak moments."
Fu Nanli lowered his head and kissed the top of her head. He hugged her tightly and carried her to the bed.
The lights went out, and the bedroom was dark with only one curtain drawn. Wen Qiao leaned in his arms, listening to his heartbeat and feeling his breathing.
She couldn't tell him what she wanted to tell him, so she didn't sleep all night.
Deep into the night, Fu Nanli reached out to pick up his phone from the bedside table and found his mother's WeChat message. His thoughts were in a mess.
Should he trust his father and ignore the text message, or should he ask his mother? he couldn't decide for a while.
After a long while, he put down his phone. If there was anything, he would ask his mother in person.
In Gu Xiao's room on Jingnan road, he was sitting in front of his desk. The computer screen was showing a video chat page. Teresa stared at him and raised her eyebrows. dear young master, you wanted to video chat with me, but you haven't said a single word for 15 minutes. It's getting late, if you have nothing to say, then I'll hang up.
"I told him about his father's affair."
Finally, he opened his mouth.
After a pause, Teresa said with difficulty, " "Are you going to lay your cards on the table? This doesn't seem to be your original plan. Didn't you say you were going to bide your time and wait until your brother dies to become the fu family's only heir? Why can't you hold back all of a sudden?"
Gu Xiao was a little upset,"I just can't hold it in all of a sudden. I feel very uncomfortable when I see him easily get those things that I can't get even if I try my best."
"What happened?" Teresa asked patiently.
Gu Xiao then told her about what happened that night.
Teresa played with the lighter in her hand. "You like that pretty little girl?"
Gu Xiao lowered his eyes and did not say a word. His face was calm.
or is it that you just want to destroy your brother's happiness? "
Gu Xiao's eyes trembled.
you're only special to that girl because she's your brother's girlfriend, right? perhaps you just want to take away your brother's things, and you just don't want him to be happy. In the end, everything you've done is because you hate your brother, right? " Teresa said.
Gu Xiao finally raised his head to look at the person on the screen. It was a handsome young man with a blank look in his eyes. I don't know.
He said I don't know about Teresa, I really don't know.
Teresa sighed softly. your brother knows that his father cheated on him back then. He must be in pain right now. You should be happy to know that.
