Because he didn't give it to her before the anniversary, he didn't tell her when the gift arrived later.
Li Zao had only worn this dress for less than five minutes. She was willing to let others wear it, but he was not willing to let it go.
Lu Xiangning took the clothes but never put them on Haitang.
Haitang looked at Li Zao's graceful figure and asked, "Do you have anything important to do today that I delayed?"
"without……"
"Then dress so formally?"
Lu Xiangning avoided answering, "It's really okay."
Haitang was a smart person. She wiped her tears and changed the subject, "Aning, we have been reflecting on these years. We were sorry for you and Zichu for what happened back then."
"Auntie, it's all over now, so don't mention it anymore."
"No, Auntie feels that our family has always owed you an apology. Thinking about it from your perspective, if Zichu was seriously injured back then and you flew away, Zichu would have hated you for being unkind and unjust. So you are right to hate Zichu and us now.
.Aning, Auntie now officially apologizes to you, I’m sorry..."
Haitang spoke very anxiously, her voice choked with sobs, and she seemed quite sincere.
After saying sorry, she made a gesture of kneeling down.
Lu Xiangning stopped him immediately, "You don't need to do this, I don't hate you."
In the face of life and death, hatred and love are all false things and not worth mentioning.
If a person dies, everything is meaningless.
"Auntie, really, I'm not saying this to comfort you," Lu Xiangning was extremely calm, as calm as if he was talking about what he wanted to eat tonight, "Those things have been over for five years, and I have long since let go."
"Relieve?" After all, Haitang is older and has experienced strong winds and waves. She can feel that Lu Xiangning did not have any emotional fluctuations when he said these words.
What he says is what he thinks in his heart.
This is not a good sign.
"A-Ning, have you let go of your feelings for Zichu? You were so deeply in love at the beginning that you wanted to be together despite the opposition of both families, and now you let it go so easily?"
Lu Xiangning smiled faintly, "It's already late for me."
"What about Zichu?"
"As long as she wants it, I will always be her brother, but I can only be her brother."
"..." Haitang was stunned. In order to avoid suspicion, he didn't even use the ambiguous term "brother", but used "elder brother" cautiously.
Lu Xiangning lost his biological mother when he was three years old, and his father soon remarried and reorganized the family.
The stepmother brought a younger brother, Lu Xiangjin, who was only two years younger than him.
Two years later, another sister was born, Lu Xianglan.
At that time, he was young and ignorant. He only knew that he was willing to get close to anyone who treated him well.
Aunt Haitang was very kind to him.
Aunt Haitang is his biological mother's childhood best friend. They grew up together, more like sisters than sisters.
After his mother passed away, Aunt Haitang often visited him or took him to live with her.
Before junior high school, he spent almost half of his time at Aunt Haitang's house.
After junior high school, he started boarding. On weekends, he would go to Aunt Haitang's house.
He also goes there every winter and summer vacation.
Later, when he went to college, he would always go to Aunt Haitang's house and tutor Zichu in his homework every day.
From childhood to adulthood, his feelings for Zhao Zichu were actually a pure brother-sister relationship. He felt that Aunt Haitang had the shadow of his mother, so he regarded Aunt Haitang as his mother.
It wasn't until that year that Zichu was admitted to his school.
Beside the basketball court, confess to him...
In fact, when he fell into a coma later, past memories were played in his mind like a movie. He looked back at his half-life with God's vision and was able to see his true heart more clearly.
Recalling this confession scene, his truest feeling was that, just like this, he and Aunt Haitang could become a real family.
After accepting Zichu's confession, they became lovers, but they never had any intimate behavior.
Even if we hold hands occasionally, it is Zichu who takes the initiative.
Because in his subconscious mind, Zichu is his sister. How could his brother behave deviantly towards his sister?
Let alone actions, he didn't even have an idea.
Every time Zichu took the initiative to hook his finger and made some ambiguous and suggestive moves, he would grab her wrist with his backhand, just like holding a kindergarten child, and lead her away.
That's not called holding hands.
It's called holding hands.
He couldn't tell whether he liked it or not.
Later, after I died, I stopped doing things that I couldn't figure out.
He only knew that his feelings for Zichu's brother and sister had not changed, and his desire to treat Aunt Haitang as his mother and to be filial to her throughout his life had not changed either.
At this moment, compared to Zhao Zichu's situation, he was more worried that Aunt Haitang would not be able to bear it.
He explained sincerely: "Auntie, there won't be any major problems in Zichu. Doctors have always been changing the medicine and following up. But you, please don't ruin your health."
The more Haitang listened, the more panicked she became. Wasn't the reason why their family came back just to bet that Aning still had feelings for Zichu?
Looking at Haitang's dazed expression, Lu Xiangning thought she was too worried about her daughter, so Lu Xiangning comforted her, "Zichu was injured at the Huachen Hotel. I am responsible for her injury. The doctors we hired are all
Top experts. Doctor Fang also specifically told me that day that Zichu’s wound was red and swollen and if it didn’t heal, he was afraid there was a risk of infection.”
"She suddenly had a fever, which is most likely an infection. But it doesn't matter. Once she got to the hospital, she took medicine, took good treatment, and nursed back to health, and there will be no problem."
"If there is any problem in the future, I will take care of her for the rest of my life as an elder brother."
Haitang was stunned and couldn't digest it for a long time.
Li came back early and bought three bottles of water.
Haitang saw her appear at the door and was walking this way.
This woman is stunningly beautiful up close and graceful from a distance. She doesn’t have the squeamishness of a rich lady, nor the worldly vanity. She doesn’t flatter others, nor does she flatter anyone. She is comparable to today’s Aning, both in appearance and temperament.
match.
They are so compatible, how could there be any chance for Zichu?
Suddenly, Haitang held Lu Xiangning's hand tightly and cried with joy: "An Ning, Zichu is my only daughter. She has been delicate and weak since she was a child, and she is also very willful. She was spoiled by me. Now she has
Your words will make Auntie feel more at ease."
Lu Xiangning nodded with emotion.
Li Zao, who was walking this way, slowly slowed down.
"Aning, to be honest, auntie has always treated you as her own son. When something happened to you, auntie was more worried than anyone else. However, due to the conflicts between the two families, I dare not say more in front of your uncle. Auntie is just a
Women cannot influence their men’s struggles in the business world.”
"Now that you have recovered, Auntie is happier than anyone else. Really. Auntie knows that except for her father, you are the only person in the world who is really good to Auntie and a true friend of yours. Auntie feels really guilty for you, and
Very touched, thank you.”
There were not many people in the corridor, and the surroundings were relatively quiet. Their words flowed along the corridor and all fell into Li Zao's ears.
