Chapter 570 The Only Woman He Truly Loved
Chapter 570 The Only Woman He Truly Loved
She looked at Shi Yuanbo on the bed, took a deep breath, and softly called out, just as she had once called for her mother, "Dad..."
Shi Yuanbo’s eyelashes fluttered, then he slowly opened his eyes. Seeing Shi Nuan, he sighed and said, "Nuannuan, it’s you!"
Shi Nuan’s heart ached even more.
She took a deep breath and said, "Dad, you should drink less from now on, it’s not good for your health!"
Shi Yuanbo didn’t have any major health issues, but after all these years of tiring work, smoking and drinking took their toll. He had suffered hardships when he was young and already had a weak stomach, which only led to more problems at his age.
Shi Yuanbo chuckled and said, "I don’t drink that much. Compared to Nuannuan’s capacity, I’m far worse!"
Shi Nuan bit her lip, unable to speak, her eyes a bit wet.
Shi Yuanbo sighed, trembling as he held Shi Nuan’s hand, and said, "Nuannuan, I just dreamed about your mother..."
Shi Nuan’s eyelashes twitched, and a teardrop fell with a "splat" sound.
Shi Yuanbo’s voice was very soft, "I dreamed that your mother was scolding me, saying I didn’t take good care of you, saying I’m not fit to be a father, saying my future... would end poorly..."
"Dad..." Shi Nuan interrupted him, "Don’t think too much, your health is important..."
But Shi Yuanbo sighed again and said, "Nuannuan, it’s not overthinking. All these years, I’ve rarely dreamed of your mother. I always thought it was because she hated me, resented me, so she didn’t want to enter my dreams. Now that she finally entered my dream, all she did was complain..."
"But she was right, I really didn’t take good care of you, and I’m indeed unworthy to be a father. I have failed so much... But Nuannuan, the only woman I’ve ever truly loved in my life is your mother. This is absolutely true, even if I say it, you might not believe it..."
He once really liked Xu Hua, but he never had the courage to pursue her.
Later, he was encouraged by a friend, and under the influence of alcohol, he asked Xu Hua out and confessed to her.
He didn’t expect Xu Hua to agree.
They started dating like that, sweet and wonderful.
But there were too many realities before them, and Xu Hua wanted to take him to meet Old Sir Xu.
He didn’t dare, repeatedly avoided, and even considered breaking up with Xu Hua because of it.
But Xu Hua was persistent and asked him, "Do you love me?"
He nodded, he loved her.
Xu Hua said, "If you love, then there’s nothing to fear!"
And just like that, Xu Hua took him to meet Old Sir Xu.
In front of Xu Hua, Old Sir Xu didn’t say much, but later privately sought him out and told him, his daughter wouldn’t marry a worthless man!
At that moment, he felt insulted.
But the next second, Old Sir Xu said, "I will give you some money, give you three years to start a business, and during this time, I will also help you as much as possible. But whether the company can succeed in the future depends on you... do you dare?"
Though his character was weak, he was still young and energetic, so he agreed, though with a bit of spite in his heart.
Because he felt that Old Sir Xu looked down on him.
And later after marriage, facing his wife’s gentle and indifferent nature, he even more felt his wife also looked down on him.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have gotten involved with Li Guirong!
Of course, when it first happened, he regretted it and wanted to break it off.
Part of the reason for this was guilt towards his wife.
