Flash Marriage with Dr. Huo

Tang Xiaqing was so angry that her heart was beating wildly. The pain and grievances that had been buried for so long now poured out like a flood.

If she had not suffered a great blow that year, she would not have been bewitched by Sun Kaiming's sudden concern.

Gu Zhian's expression was filled with anxiety and regret. He took a small step forward, his hands unconsciously raised slightly, as if trying to grasp something. He explained anxiously, "Tangtang, listen to me. I resolutely went to Canada back then. I really had unspeakable and unavoidable reasons. My family hasn't returned to Yunzhou in all these years."

Tang Xiaqing stood quietly there, watching him speak with a calm yet turbulent gaze.

Gu Zhian, the shining figure on campus, is the president of the student union in the graduate school. He not only has outstanding leadership skills and handsome looks, but also has become a top student in the eyes of everyone with his excellent grades.

He is three years older than Tang Xiaqing. He is like a mature and steady brother, giving her meticulous care in her campus life.

Tang Xiaqing was always a bit overwhelmed during the final review period. However, Gu Zhian would always help her review during this time. When Tang Xiaqing encountered a difficult problem, Gu Zhian would always explain it to her in the most understandable way.

His handwriting was neat and clear, and every page of notes was well organized. Those densely packed words were not only a record of knowledge, but also an outpouring of his love for Tang Xiaqing.

However, good times are always short-lived and catch people off guard. That day, without any warning, Gu Zhian broke up with her.

Just like that, all connections between them were severed.

It was also at this time that Tang Xiaqing met her future ex-husband. Sun Kaiming did give her a lot of warmth, but Sun Kaiming was far from worthy of her. If Gu Zhian had not left suddenly, Sun Kaiming would not even have the chance to ask her out for dinner.

This hurtful past was etched in Tang Xiaqing's heart. Even after so many years, facing Gu Zhian again made her heart restless.

"What's the reason why you have to keep it a secret? Do you describe falling in love with someone else so elegantly?" Tang Xiaqing looked at him and asked.

As Gu Zhian spoke, he took another step forward and tried to grab Tang Xiaqing's shoulders.

Tang Xiaqing took another step back.

Gu Zhian's voice deepened, choking with a hint of helplessness. "Tangtang, the situation back then was far more complicated and difficult than you know. Did you know? My father was suddenly detained, and the whole family was instantly plunged into a huge crisis. The powerful and wealthy are far more complex than the business world."

Tang Xiaqing was slightly moved, but years of pain were not so easily let go. Her voice still held a hint of coldness: "Why didn't you tell me all this at the time? Do you really not trust me? Do you think I can't face it with you? You just said break up and left me alone. Do you know how painful it was for me?"

A tear rolled down Gu Zhian's eyes, and his voice trembled. "I didn't dare tell you. I was afraid that you would follow me into the endless abyss, enduring those unknown dangers and pressures. Before my father came out, I was not sure if I could survive safely in the future. I was even worried that it would affect your Tanghai Group."

"So, you resolutely proposed to break up back then?" Tang Xiaqing questioned him.

"You know how much I like you... I have been in love with you for so long, but I... have never been willing to touch you. Even though I wanted you very much, I held back..." Gu Zhian choked.

"That year, my family told me that if I didn't find a way to cooperate with the Fu family's marriage, the entire family would be plunged into an abyss of no return, with almost no chance of recovery. The Fu family had the ability to rescue my father, but they weren't doing charity; they had other conditions. That year, considering my father was still in prison, I was too weak to refuse this heavy responsibility and had no choice but to compromise."

Tang Xiaqing was also stunned. Only now did she know the truth of that year, but unfortunately, time had passed.

"At that time, I would rather you hate me than let you get hurt. I thought time would slowly make it all fade away, and when I solved all the problems and came back to you, you would still forgive me. I thought that as long as I could save my father and get through this difficult time, there would always be a chance to make it up to you in the future."

Tang Xiaqing choked up and said, "When you left, it was like a knife stabbing into my heart. I woke up crying countless times at night, thinking of you. Otherwise, that scumbag Sun Kaiming wouldn't have been able to chase me so easily. But, I'm about to get married now, and you suddenly show up and say these words. What do you want me to do?"

"Then, do I still have a chance? I am single now, and I can definitely love you more than Huo Chenjun." Gu Zhian said.

"But it's all too late now. Was your secret investment in my family's company a coincidence, or did you already know about it?"

Gu Zhian gazed at Tang Xiaqing affectionately, his voice sincere: "When I came back, I found that Huo Chenjun was already by your side. I never felt that Sun Kaiming was a threat to me, but Huo Chenjun being with you makes me feel that I might lose you forever..."

Gu Zhian paused and continued, "I was the one who asked Qiao Haiyang to discuss the investment in your group's Chaoyang Company with you, but Qiao Haiyang only knew it was a business matter. He later reported to me that he had met Huo Chenjun that day... My love for you has never changed, Tangtang. The love you once gave me was like a beacon in the darkness, supporting me through those years."

As he spoke, Gu Zhian took a step forward, his eyes full of pleading: "Just give me a chance tonight, Tangtang. I'll take you out for dinner, okay? After all these years, I just want to sit down with you and have a good chat, to pour out everything that's been hidden in my heart all these years. I promise you, I won't do anything to you, we just want to chat quietly, okay?"

His voice was almost pleading, and his hands unconsciously raised slightly, as if trying to grasp this last glimmer of hope.

"I might have to go back to Hong Kong tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Can I have dinner with you tonight? If you really don't want to, I won't bother you tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

Tang Xiaqing listened to Gu Zhian's words. Her eyes had already turned red, tears welling up in them. Finally, she could no longer hold them back, and tears burst forth. Crystal tears slid down her cheeks, wetting her delicate makeup.
