Zhou Er rested her head on his lap, and after a moment of hesitation, she stood up.
"Let's go back to our room to talk."
Lin Chengwen pinched the tip of her nose: "You really did turn bad, inviting men into the house. Let's go."
"Be serious, I need to talk to you about serious matters."
Lin Chengwen pulled her up, "Alright, let's go. Let's get down to business."
He turned off the TV, took her hand, and led her back to the room.
After the door was closed, Lin Chengwen brought her to the bed and said to her, "Alright, there's no one else. We can lie on the bed and have a good chat."
As he spoke, he lay down.
Zhou Er turned sideways and sat cross-legged facing him.
"Just now ?? Auntie told me about you and uncle. "
Lin Chengwen looked at the ceiling and said calmly: "Really?"
Zhou Er saw that he did not seem to be in high spirits and said worriedly, "Are you because you do not want to talk about this topic?"
Lin Chengwen looked at her, "I heard half of what my mom said to you just now. I was at the stairs."
Zhou Er, on the other hand, didn't know what to say.
Lin Chengwen also sat up, sitting cross-legged facing her.
"Since you already know about all these, I don't want to hide it from you. Actually, I've heard everything that my mother told you to say to me. I've always known what my mother hoped for, but ?? To forget the past and look only at the future is too difficult for me. "
Lin Chengwen smiled bitterly at her as he said this.
This was the first time Zhou Er saw Lin Chengwen show such an expression.
Lin Chengwen continued, "Everyone thought that the reason why I worked so hard was because I let down my father. No one knew that the guilt in my heart was not only towards my father, but also towards my mother ??"
"Auntie?" Zhou Er was a little surprised. "Why?"
"My parents have always been very close to each other, enviable to the point of envy. That's why I was so angry when I saw pictures of my father and other women going in and out of the hotel. I always felt that a couple should love each other without a doubt. I thought that my father had betrayed my mother.
My father died because of me, so I had to carry a huge shackle in my heart. I have let down my father, this matter can never be made up for. Apart from this, what made me even more upset and pained was that I caused my mother to lose her husband, causing her to become a widow at the age when she needed his company the most.
I have always regretted it. If I had given my dad the trust he should have, not to go against him in everything and let him not be distracted by me when the company was facing a test, would everything have been different? "
He bowed his head and grabbed his hair with both hands.
"My mother is right. My father loves me very much, so no matter what I do wrong, he won't blame me. However, even if my father can forgive me, I have no right to not blame myself. I must bear this sin for my entire life, otherwise, my conscience will never be able to live peacefully. "
Seeing Lin Chengwen in such pain, Zhou Er slightly leaned over and hugged him.
Lin Chengwen's head leaned on her shoulder.
"You know, I've never felt that I've suffered a lot over the years, because it seems to me that this is my due. If I hadn't let my father die in a car accident, then all this would have been on my father's shoulders. The responsibility of a father rests with his son. On the contrary, I feel that all of this is my father giving me the chance to atone for my sins. "
Zhou Er's eyes turned red.
She didn't know that this man, who only teased her and brought her happiness every day, was actually hiding such a great sorrow in his heart.
She stroked his back. She comforted him, "I see, Tycoon. I won't try to dissuade you, you're right. There were some things that should not be forgotten. "Forget is betrayal, let's not betray Uncle. So, let me accompany you and keep this in your heart forever. After that, let's take good care of Auntie with Uncle's best wishes, okay?"
Lin Chengwen released her and stared at her.
Zhou Er raised her hand, holding his face and smiled. "Trust me, we can do it."
Everyone said that one should look forward, and only by forgetting the past can one put down the past.
Only she said, 'Forget, that is betrayal'.
Yes, to him, he couldn't forget his father, and even more so, he couldn't forget his guilt towards his parents.
Zhou Er said again, "Let's work together, okay?"
Lin Chengwen held her in his arms and hugged her tightly.
"Alright."
Perhaps it was because of his mood, but Lin Chengwen was exceptionally honest that night.
He didn't move her, just hugged her so quietly he slept all night.
The next morning, Lin Chengwen and Zhou Er came out of their room. They saw Lin Shuang at the door with a book in her hand.
Seeing the two of them, Lin Shuang immediately lifted up the book. She pretended that she was just passing by and asked, "Son, daughter-in-law, how was last night? Did you sleep well?"
Lin Chengwen frowned, "It's still early in the morning, what are you doing here?"
Lin Shuang waved the book in her hand. "Didn't you see? I was just about to go downstairs and read a book when I bumped into the two of you. "
Lin Chengwen stared at the book in her hands with an expression of disdain. He said, "Mom, you're getting better. How are your eyes? Why are you reading backward?"
Lin Shuang looked down in embarrassment.
The brat had to uncover her lies, didn't he.
Zhou Er snickered and nudged Lin Chengwen with her elbow. She then walked up to Lin Shuang and took her arm to ease the awkwardness. "Auntie, I'm hungry. What are we going to eat this morning?"
"I've already made some people prepare a lot. Come, let's go down and have a look."
Lin Chengwen couldn't help but shake his head and smile as he watched the two women leave arm in arm.
During di
er, Lin Shuang asked, "Are you leaving today?"
Lin Chengwen looked at her: "What, you don't want us to leave?"
"As for you, I will definitely be willing to part with you. "The one I can't bear to part with is my daughter-in-law."
Lin Shuang said to Zhou Er, "Yesterday, the two of you were at home. I felt that this home was quite lively. Xiao Er, you should come and stay here often."
Zhou Er nodded. Before she could say anything, she heard Lin Chengwen say, "Mom, I've been joking."
"What I said was true. I'm usually alone at home, and it's really lonely. Hurry up and get married. After the marriage, come live with me, okay?"
Lin Chengwen waved his hand: "No no, how can a married son live with his mother? I'm worried that your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law aren't on good terms, so I'm in a dilemma."
"Child, your excuses are too lacking. I've already said it, I've sided with the enemy. How can you say that?"
"Then I'm afraid that mother will make my wife crooked. Seeing you two being hostile towards me every day, I get even angrier."
Lin Shuang snorted, "Brat, even if you're not filial, forget it, I won't ask you. Xiao Er, what do you think, can you stay here with me after you get married?"
Zhou Er was speechless. Why did he leave the difficult problem to her?
