The Big Boss & His Dainty Wife

Chapter 236: Chapter 236 She is too harsh on herself 1

Hai Xiaotang looked at him in bewilderment, then laughed lightly. “Brother Tao, you misunderstood. I don’t have regrets.”

A heaviness lifted from Tao Yi’s heart.

He couldn’t help but reveal his inner doubts, “I heard from grandfather that you used to love him a lot. Why is it like this now?”

Hai Xiaotang’s eyelashes quivered, “There’s no reason. I just don’t want to love anymore.”

“Did he hurt you?” Tao Yi immediately lowered his voice, “What did he do to you?”

“No, I just don’t want to love anymore.”

Tao Yi frowned, clearly not believing her.

Hai Xiaotang said nonchalantly, “I just saw through it all, and have lost all interest in love. Perhaps to others, love is important and beautiful, but in my eyes, it’s nothing at all.”

Tao Yi was startled.

Because he could hear a hint of disillusionment in her tone.

“Xiaotang, are you really not yet 20?” He asked subconsciously. After all, a 20- year-old girl should still have romantic fantasies and innocence, shouldn’t she?

But she seemed like an old person who had seen everything, who had seen through everything.

Hai Xiaotang knew what he was doubting. She laughed, “Brother Tao, don’t be surprised. There are all kinds of people in this world. I’m just an outlier who’s not interested in love.”

“How can you be uninterested?” Tao Yi still didn’t believe it. “Xiaotang, you’re still young. Don’t be afraid of love. It’s not that scary.”

No, it’s terrifying…

Terrifying enough to devour her, to destroy her.

It’s like a deep abyss, or a raging hellfire – simply terrifying.

In any case, she wouldn’t touch it in this lifetime!

“Brother Tao, even if it’s not scary, I don’t need it!” Hai Xiaotang suddenly said with an unprecedented resolution, “Even if I have to remain alone in this life, I won’t touch it! I, Hai Xiaotang, don’t need love!”

“Squeak— ” Tao Yi abruptly pulled the car over to the roadside.

Hai Xiaotang, jolted by the sudden stop, snapped back to her senses from her trance.

Tao Yi turned to her, looking deeply worried, “Xiaotang, are you alright? What’s wrong with you?”

Her words just now were too harsh.

She was too harsh on herself, to a terrifying degree…

He felt a deep unease hearing them.

But Hai Xiaotang’s expression remained innocent and natural, as if everything that happened just now was his imagination.

“Brother Tao, I’m fine,” Hai Xiaotang laughed, “What I said just now doesn’t mean anything, it’s just my personal worldview. Don’t overthink it.”

Tao Yi’s eyes darkened, “I can’t help but worry when I see you like this.”

“There’s nothing I can do about that, but I really am fine…”

“Xiaotang, be with me!” Tao Yi suddenly said.

Hai Xiaotang was completely taken aback.

Tao Yi said firmly, “I like you. I’ve always wanted to be with you! I wanted to confess to you last time, but the timing wasn’t right. This time, I came to see you to convey my feelings.”

Hai Xiaotang was surprised. She never expected Tao Yi to have feelings for her.

“Brother Tao, I’ve been divorced…”

“I don’t mind!”

“But I only see you as a brother.”

Tao Yi laughed lightly, “But I’m not your real brother. You can see me as a man in the future.”

“Xiaotang, I really like you.” Tao Yi’s gaze was gentle, “Please believe me, I’ll treat you sincerely and will never let you down.”
