Her tears wet his face, "Uncle, are you going to force me..."

Shen Liuchu's hands were shaking and he lay on top of her without moving.

Use force?

How could he bear to do that? He loved her so much that he couldn't even begin to express his pain.

Shen Liuchu choked up and slowly looked at the tearful face, his heart was torn, "Why?"

As long as she explained, he would believe her.

Rong Tao turned her head away, tears streaming down her face.

He wiped her tears lovingly and said, "Tell uncle, okay?"

After a long time, she cried and said, "I don't love you anymore. I don't want to be with an old man when I'm forty..."

Shen Liuchu just looked at her like this, and his chest began to hurt. Every word she said was like a needle piercing his heart back and forth, making it impossible to breathe.

His eyes filled with endless pain gradually darkened, and he never said what he wanted to say.

He pulled the quilt over the little body that was half naked, and then left.

Rong Tao sat up hugging the quilt, looking at his back and begging, "Can you please let Zhou Mingyuan go?"

Shen Liuchu didn't turn around. After a while, he said softly, "Okay."

Until the door was closed, Rong Tao's tears fell. How could it not be painful to hurt the one you love with your own hands...

In the study, Shen Liuchu lit a cigarette and put it between his lips, closed his eyes, and half-lying and half-leaning on a chair.

Taotao, little Taotao...

......

Early in the morning, Rong Tao slowly opened the door of the study, and the whole room was filled with the smell of cigarette smoke.

The ashtray on the table is full of cigarette butts.

The lonely figure on the chair made her heart ache.

He must hate her.

Hearing the voice, Shen Liuchu raised his eyes and looked at her silently.

Rong Tao didn't come in, but stood quietly at the door. Finally, he left without saying anything.

There is sadness in the swirling smoke...

Rong Tao went to find Shui Donghui and asked him to help her apply for studying abroad.

When Shui Donghui heard about it from his subordinates, he was also shocked. He didn't know why things happened so suddenly. He saw the little girl's feelings for Shen Liuchu, but he had never thought about it and didn't dare to believe that such a change would happen.

Rong Tao begged him, cried and begged him, and was determined to leave.

There was no other way, Shui Donghui had to ask Shen Liuchu for instructions.

Shen Liuchu said nothing and nodded in agreement.

Late at night, he came to her room, without turning on the light, and walked to the bed and sat down in the light from outside.

The little person on the bed was sleeping on his side facing inwards.

He looked at her with mixed feelings, slowly extended his hand towards that little face, but withdrew his hand before he could touch it.

Shen Liuchu frowned and sighed softly, his voice was very light and a little trembling, "Girl, don't you want your uncle anymore..."

At this moment, he could completely empathize with her. When he cruelly rejected the little girl, how did she feel? At that time, she also asked him, "Uncle, don't you want me anymore?"

I don’t know how long I sat next to her. Shen Liuchu really wanted to touch her and hug her, but every time he stretched out his hand halfway, he stopped.

Rong Tao did not fall asleep. She bit her lips until they bled. She tried hard not to make any movement. She could only cry silently, leaving a wet spot under her pillow.

When he stood up and left, she wanted to sit up and shout to him, "Uncle, I didn't abandon you. I really don't want to leave you at all. I want to be with you forever..."

But, she couldn't...

The next day Rong Tao went to the cemetery to visit her parents.

She curled up against the tombstone, running her fingers across the cold stone surface. "You will understand me, right..."

She said, crying...

a whole day.

......

Zhou Mingyuan left, leaving with regret.

On the day of going abroad, Rong Tao saw him off out of guilt.

Zhou Chunxing pulled his wife away and let them talk alone for a while.

"I'm sorry, Mingyuan." Her apology came from the bottom of her heart because she had taken advantage of him.

Zhou Mingyuan looked at her and smiled, "There's nothing to be sorry about. Although I don't know why you did that that day..., I'm actually very happy. You protected me in front of my uncle, and you worried me when I was beaten. That's enough."

Although Zhou Mingyuan was somewhat unwilling, he thought it would be better to leave if loving someone would become a burden to her.

Rong Tao didn't continue the conversation, only saying "Have a safe journey."

The two then parted ways.

The weather in June is always unpredictable. It was sunny in the morning, but now it is covered with dark clouds.

The whole sky was dark, stuffy, and restless, making it hard to breathe.

In front of the floor-to-ceiling window, Shen Liuchu was smoking silently.

I haven't seen the little girl for a week.

He has been living in the company's apartment these days. Now that things have come to this point, he doesn't know how the two of them can meet again.

Gradually, he figured it out. The reason he didn't accept Taotao was because he was afraid that the age difference would ruin her life. She was right. When she reached the age of 40, he would be like an old man.

That's why he never touched her.

He wanted to leave her a way out.

Now, she wanted to leave, so he let her go.

As long as she is well, he will feel at ease.

Shui Donghui walked behind him gently, "Boss..."

Shen Liuchu slowly turned around and looked at him for a few seconds, his tone a little heavy, "Taotao, I'll leave it to you. Go over there and take good care of her."

"I will." Shui Donghui nodded, paused and asked carefully, "Before you leave, won't you go back to see her?"

His face, shrouded in curling smoke, turned toward the French window again without saying a word.

Shui Donghui retreated silently.

Rong Tao sat in Shen Liuchu's study in a daze again.

In front of her was still the ashtray filled with cigarette butts.

He is leaving tomorrow. Will he come back today?

I don't know when Shui Donghui appeared at the door.

"Brother Hui."

Shui Donghui walked in, pulled out a chair across from the table and sat down, "Have you packed everything?"

Rong Tao nodded, her expression unable to hide the pain, "Is he okay?"

Shui Donghui sighed, then shook his head, "I have always seen your feelings for the boss, why this time......"

She smiled stiffly and murmured to herself, "It's because I love him that I want to leave him."

Her voice was so soft that Shui Donghui couldn't hear clearly what she said.

"Does he hate me?" she asked.

"Do you think he will hate you? He loves you so much, how could he bear to leave you? But if you leave, it will cost him half his life."

Rong Tao's tears were welling up in her eyes. She sniffed and tilted her head back slightly, trying to let the tears flow back.
