Chapter 884: Chapter 881 He Is Her Redemption

Tong Xiaohua was stunned for a moment. Her steps faltered, and she found herself, somewhat scared to approach him and say hello.

If possible, she even wished that she could become invisible, "swoosh" and suddenly disappear in front of Yan Bo.

Only, even if she really had the power of invisibility, she couldn’t erase the events that had just transpired.

Heaven knows how much she wanted, to turn everything that had just happened, into nothingness.

As a child raised in the Tong Family, and groomed by her father to be his successor since childhood, what had just occurred was always done quite skillfully and was seen as matter-of-course.

Because, in her world, most of the time, meeting violence with violence was basically the quickest and most effective way.

In the past eighteen years, she had never felt there was anything wrong with that, nor had she ever felt the need to use a different method to resolve these conflicts.

But in this moment, she truly felt regret!

She regretted, why hadn’t she managed to hold back just now?

She was almost at the door.

She just had to take a few more steps, and as soon as she saw Yan Bo’s face, she would have let go of her fierceness, letting that Brother Shui rampage, while Uncle Ming and the other brothers would find their own way to silence him.

But unfortunately, it was just those few steps short, where she herself had made a move, and then, let Yan Bo witness everything with his own eyes.

How would he, see her?

Tong Xiaohua had never experienced such panic, nor such fear.

At this moment, realizing she had no power to turn invisible and that time wouldn’t flow backwards, she could only watch his tall figure under the night lamp from afar, hoping he, could muster some compassion, and take the first step towards her, then, she would have the courage to approach him.

But it seemed the gods of fate were not looking her way, as she hesitated at the door for what felt like a lifetime. The man leaning against his car, not leaving, yet also, never stepped forward a single pace towards her.

Tong Xiaohua slightly closed her eyes, her heart, filled with waves of unexplainable sadness.

Could it be, the affection he professed, all his feelings for her, were simply, based on the facade of goodness she presented in front of him?

All along, in front of him, she was as genuine as a child.

Because, he was like an ocean, capable of embracing all of her.

During this period, under his acceptance, she had unknowingly learned to depend and to be whimsical.

However, she had never thought that in his eyes, she was always, just the Tong Xiaohua outside of Tong village.

That was a carefree and beautiful Tong Xiaohua.

But what about reality?

She was not!

Tong Xiaohua opened her eyes, took a deep breath, and then, biting her lip, she lifted her foot.

His car was parked on the other side of the street, approximately ten meters away from her.

These ten some meters, in Tong Xiaohua’s eyes at this moment, seemed as distant and unreachable as the edges of the sky.

Her feet felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead, as if she had to use all her strength, just to lift her foot and take one step after another towards him.

The night lamp was dim, casting a gloomy yellow light on his handsome face, as if a shadow that couldn’t be wiped away.

She struggled to make out the expression on his face, but his face was blurred into a mass in the dim light.

She clearly heard her heart beating fast because of fear and panic, her palms sweaty by her sides.

Even though she couldn’t see his expression clearly, she still silently prayed in her heart.

She hoped that he would not turn away decisively when she approached him.

The dim streetlight elongated her shadow, slowly creeping across the dark and slightly dirty road, like an eerie black ghost.

The somber and oppressive atmosphere almost suffocated Tong Xiaohua.

But even so, she continued, forcing herself to slowly approach the man on the other side of the street.

In this moment, she finally understood that he was her redemption, her sunlight, and the embodiment of all her longing and aspirations for everything beautiful!

But her salvation, her sunshine, her yearning for beauty seemed ready to slip away at any moment.

Simply because she had laid bare her most genuine, ugliest self in front of this man without reservation.

Of course, if possible, she would never have wanted him to witness all that had just happened.

But that was the truth, she could conceal it for a moment, but could she hide it for a lifetime?

The more Tong Xiaohua thought, the more disheartened she felt, the more she wanted to cry.

With every step he took, she felt as if she might no longer have the strength to take the next.

It was only now that she realized, unknowingly, in her subconscious, she had decided that her relationship with him could last a lifetime.

But given the current situation, did she and he really have a future?

Let alone, a lifetime!

Yan Bo remained motionless, silently standing there. Even though Tong Xiaohua was only three to five steps away from him, he still showed no intention of taking a step towards her.

At such close distance, Tong Xiaohua could finally see his face clearly.

The face that used to always greet her with a gentle smile was now expressionless.

The eyes that always looked at her with warmth and indulgence were now so profound that they made her heart flutter with panic.

Such a demeanor from him made her step back.

When she was two steps away from him, she stopped.

She looked up at him with sadness in her eyes.

She had come this far.

She had used all her strength to take so many steps, and the remaining two steps were her residual, the last bit of self-respect she had.

She had to preserve it well for herself!

Her gaze did not avoid his. Instead, he met her eyes with an unfathomable look.

She licked her lips and opened her mouth with difficulty.

"Yan Bo..."

The wind was strong, blowing her voice to tremble like a sob.

And this brief call was instantly shattered by the night wind, with hardly a trace to be found.

Tong Xiaohua still stared at Yan Bo, like a prisoner waiting for her sentence to be announced.

Time passed, second by second.

Tong Xiaohua felt as if she saw the god of fate flashing its teeth with a sneer, mocking her downfall and failure.

Tong Xiaohua could distinctly feel the temperature of her heart cooling down, turning into ice.

A voice inside her head was softly persuading her, enough is enough, turn back!

Go on, he is not from the same world as you!

At this point, Tong Xiaohua decided to admit defeat.

She forced a smile uglier than crying towards the silent man, then prepared to turn and leave.

From now on, she would draw a clear line with this man and cease all dealings.

Just as her foot was about to leave the ground, the man who had been standing still as a statue suddenly extended his hand.

His arm was so long that with one reach, he caught her hand in his.

The large and warm palm wrapped her hand tightly within.

Tong Xiaohua looked up at him in astonishment; she didn’t even have time to ask him why when, the next moment, her entire body was pulled fiercely towards him, then she crashed directly into his solid and broad chest!
