Hai Xiaotang didn’t outright refuse, instead she mockingly retorted, “I do not want to have dinner with a wounded person. What would I do if you faint halfway?”
“I won’t…”
“I will not have dinner with an unhealthy person!” Hai Xiaotang asserted firmly.
However, Dongfang Yu chuckled.
Hai Xiaotang was puzzled by his deep, pleasing laughter, “What are you laughing at?”
“Hai Xiaotang, you’re worrying about me!” He asserted confidently.
Hai Xiaotang was taken aback, “When did I?”
But Dongfang Yu was convinced that she was indeed concerned about him.
He chuckled and said, “Alright, we won’t eat today, but the day after tomorrow for dinner. I’ll be discharged from the hospital tomorrow, so the day after that should be fine, right?”
Hai Xiaotang did want to decline, but was afraid he might misinterpret again that she was concerned about him.
Besides, it was his own body; if he didn’t cherish it, why should she bother arguing?
“Whatever!” Hai Xiaotang said dismissively.
Dongfang Yu laughed again: “Hai Xiaotang, if you are concerned about me, just admit it, I won’t laugh at you.”
She didn’t have time to respond, because as soon as he finished speaking, he hung up quickly.
Hai Xiaotang was incensed.
She really didn’t care about him!
If this happened with someone else, she would have responded the same way, how was she caring for him?
“He really fancies himself…” Hai Xiaotang murmured disdainfully while staring at her phone, then lifted her head to see Aunt Zhang standing in front of her, smiling ambiguously.
“Miss, when your cousin’s health improves, please invite him to our house for a meal,” Aunt Zhang said, grinning from ear to ear.
Hai Xiaotang’s face fell instantly, “Aunt Zhang, have you forgotten that I’m already divorced?”
Aunt Zhang realized it and laughed, “Oh, I just forgot. But it’s okay, you’ll have to call him your cousin sooner or later…”
“Aunt Zhang, Dongfang Yu and I will not remarry!” Hai Xiaotang blurted out instinctively.
After saying that she froze.
Even though she gave Dongfang Yu a chance, deep down she still wanted to keep her distance from him.
Giving him a chance was just meant to make him give up hope…
Yes, Hai Xiaotang had deceived Dongfang Yu.
That was her truest thought deep in her heart; she just didn’t want to continue the entanglement.
Perhaps giving him a chance would extinguish the hope though he could not win her heart back, with no regrets or bitterness left.
Only after having tried and failed can one truly give up hope.
Otherwise, everyone would harbor some luck.
She intended to kill his hope completely, not out of malice, but deliberately.
Because she knew, no matter what, she would never look back.
She only had to let nature take its course to achieve her goal.
Of course, if she was genuinely moved by him, she wouldn’t mind starting over.
But she knew the chances of being touched enough to turn back were next to nothing…
It took her a lifetime to let go of everything from the past.
So, it wouldn’t be easy to turn back.
She doesn’t mind being friends with him in this life, getting along harmoniously, but as lovers… it’s just too tough.
Dongfang Yu was not aware of Hai Xiaotang’s thoughts.
He lay in the hospital, bored and unwilling to work or do anything else.
He could only think about Hai Xiaotang.
From the moment she had left the previous day, he missed her terribly, every minute, every second.
From the previous day to now, he had not seen her in a day and the saying ‘A day apart seems like three seasons’ could not fully express his longing.
He even regretted why he had set the dinner date the day after tomorrow.
He should have scheduled it for today, and even right now!
