Chapter 755: Chapter 755: The Expectation of Half a Lifetime!

At this moment, no one spoke.

The surroundings were very quiet, Xia Yuqing had already been in tears.

Tang Zhong looked at Xia Yuqing, no longer knowing what else to say; he finally understood what Xia Yuqing said he had forgotten, and that Tang Zhong genuinely did not remember it.

Because from the beginning, these words were merely Tang Zhong’s hope that Xia Yuqing could quickly recover from her illness during their childhood.

He hadn’t expected that his words would be remembered by her for so long; had he known, he might never have spoken them.

He felt he should clarify everything, otherwise Xia Yuqing would continue to be unhappy.

"Yuqing... actually, I—"

"You don’t need to explain," Xia Yuqing cut him off directly.

"I..." Tang Zhong knew that the girl in front of him really was hurt, and in an unprecedented way.

"Who you fall in love with is none of my business, it’s your own affair, and no matter who you fall in love with, I will wish you the best, but let me ask you one last question!" Xia Yuqing revealed the feelings she had been harboring deep inside, and at this moment, she appeared exceptionally carefree.

"Go ahead!" Tang Zhong nodded.

"I ask you... did you ever fall in love with me, even just a little bit, did you ever love me?" Xia Yuqing asked.

Tang Zhong fell silent. Had he loved her?

Although the little girl was very pretty since childhood, and the girl from back then was very gentle, when he first saw her, Tang Zhong’s heart throbbed wildly, but that wasn’t love. He considered the little girl a family member because she was someone who had come with him through storms, she was a family member, and only a family member.

However, there had been a time when he did love the little girl, though it was brief.

But he wouldn’t say it out loud; sometimes, rejection is much better than admission, just like now, he clenched his teeth and said, "No!"

At that moment, Xia Yuqing’s pupils widened, her eyes watery as she looked at Tang Zhong, her heart thumped suddenly; the girl had always hoped that the man in front of her would kneel down and propose to her, but now, this man actually said he didn’t love her, which was like a bolt from the blue, striking the girl’s soul. She stayed silent, hanging her head, she thought she would cry loudly, but she didn’t; she held back her tears, not wanting to break down in front of this man anymore: "I understand!"

"Since you don’t love me, then I should go!"

Tang Zhong immediately became anxious: "Where are you going?"

"To the place I should go, at least the Tang Family is not where I should stay!" Xia Yuqing said.

"You can stay here and live peacefully. We have escaped too many places together, this place is peaceful and suitable for us to live!" Tang Zhong pleaded.

"No, I want to look at other places!" Xia Yuqing said.

Tang Zhong knew that whatever he said now would be useless.

He also didn’t know what else to say; he just knew that he had ruined the beautiful things in a girl’s heart for over ten years.

This was already very cruel.

Xia Yuqing walked up to Tang Xinglou and Jiang Shuiyue, respectfully saying, "Uncle, Aunt, I am leaving today!"

"Stay!" Jiang Shuiyue said.

No matter whom their son chose, they had no right to interfere, but she really liked Yuqing, the girl was very good, extremely so, and she wanted her to stay by their side.

"It’s okay, Aunt, I want to go see other places!" Xia Yuqing said.

Jiang Shuiyue understood women; she knew that Tang Zhong had genuinely hurt this girl’s heart, so she did not continue to insist.

"Goodbye!" Xia Yuqing waved at Tang Xinglou and Jiang Shuiyue.

"Come visit us when you have time!" Tang Xinglou said.

"Yes, I will!" Xia Yuqing nodded.

Then Xia Yuqing looked at Tang Zhong beside her and smiled: "Little Tang, until we meet again!"

Little Tang, a nickname from long ago for the little boy.

Now, it was called out once again.

Tang Zhong was stunned.

But Xia Yuqing had already started walking forward, leaving without looking back.

At the moment she turned around, tears surged from Xia Yuqing’s eyes once again, like a torrential downpour.

However, no one else could see them anymore.

Falling in love with someone who doesn’t love you is torture.

Tang Zhong stood there, watching as Xia Yuqing walked away, powerless to do anything.

Love is something you can’t force.

Tang Xinglou and Jiang Shuiyue could only sigh deeply; there was nothing they could say about the affairs of young people.

Today was supposed to be a good day for them to start talking again, but they had not expected such an event to occur, leaving them at a loss for what to do, only able to leave while clenching their heads.

As Tang Zhong watched Xia Yuqing’s retreating figure, a desolate feeling flashed through his heart, empty, as if he had lost something. His mind was filled with images of Xia Yuqing’s childhood, her growing up bit by bit. All along his journey, this woman had been by his side, protecting him. Without her, he really didn’t know what would happen.

But today, this woman was leaving.

And Tang Zhong had no excuse to keep her; she was leaving, perhaps never to return.

Even if Xia Yuqing stayed, it would be useless now.

It might be better to let her go.

Tang Zhong remained silent, but soon a monkey rushed up to him, anxiously getting to Tang Zhong’s side, "What... what have you done to Yuqing?"

"It’s nothing...nothing!" Tang Zhong waved his hand.

Now, some things are better left unsaid.

"How can it be nothing? Otherwise, why would she tell me to give this to you!" the monkey said, holding a bank card in his hand.

It was from Xuan Country Bank.

"Do you know? This card, it’s the one with your salary from all these years, there are several billion in it, and yet Sister Yuqing has given it to you, and you still say there’s no issue, who are you deceiving?" the monkey said.

Tang Zhong looked down at the Xuan Country Bank card in the monkey’s hand, suddenly remembering that it was the "wife book" Xia Yuqing had once left for him.

"I know, I don’t need it, take it!" Tang Zhong said.

"What!" The monkey was stunned, his hand holding billions, yet Tang Zhong was giving it away just like that.

Having said that, Tang Zhong turned to leave.

The monkey, watching Tang Zhong leave, shouted, "Brother Tang, this money... I can’t take it! Sister Yuqing said I must give this to you!"

"Right, where is she?" Tang Zhong turned and asked.

"She’s gone, she left with her luggage just now!" the monkey said.

"Where did she go?" Tang Zhong had a premonition that maybe after seeing her today, he might never see her again.

"She didn’t say, just mentioned she was going out for a stroll, I didn’t take it seriously, what’s up?" the monkey said.

"She is leaving us!" Tang Zhong said, "Never mind, chase!"

He didn’t want Xia Yuqing to leave because they had once been the best trio; if one person left, then the trio no longer existed.

Upon reaching the Tang Family’s main gate, he looked around; nothing was left, Xia Yuqing’s figure no longer in sight.

He wanted to chase, but he no longer knew where to start.

The monkey caught up, panting, "Brother Tang, what’s going on, why does Sister Yuqing want to leave us? When you say she is leaving us, did she fall ill?"

"Illness... that’s not an illness!" Tang Zhong muttered, sensing that if he did not see her this time, perhaps, he might never see her in his lifetime; he owed this girl half a lifetime of expectations!

(Xia Yuqing’s story is not over!)
