BXBX NOVEL Chapter 164: How Could I Not Disturb Her l
Words on the tip of her tongue, she was too embarrassed to say.
Besides eating, drinking, and having fun, she indeed had no real skills.
“Grandpa, don’t worry, 1 will learn a skill, but I really don’t want to learn architectural design.” Hai Xiaotang had already decided to sever all connections with Dongfang Yu, she would not accept his goodwill.
Nor would she learn about things related to him, her world didn’t need him at all.
Hai Zhiyuan sharply retorted, “Then what do you want to learn? You’ve thought about it for so long, have you made up your mind?”
“I…” Hai Xiaotang’s eyes flickered briefly, smirking, “Grandpa, I will join the army. Being in the army also provides a job!”
The main point was, with the status of the Hai family, she would get a decent job when she comes out of the army.
Upon hearing the term ‘join the army’, Dongfang Yu’s first thought was of Tao Yi.
He lifted his dark eyes, speaking faintly, “Serving in the army is tough and not suitable for girls. Moreover, you could exploit your higher potential elsewhere; joining the army would be a waste.”
“I don’t think so…”
“There’s no hurry, think about it at your leisure, you can give me the answer in a couple of days too.” Dongfang Yu interrupted her.
Hai Xiaotang didn’t want to continue the conversation, she said in an indifferent tone: “It’s getting late, Mr. Dongfang, you should rest early.”
“Yes, it is late. Grandpa, I’m leaving first, I’ll visit you another day.”
“Alright, Xiaotang, please see Ayu off.” Hai Zhiyuan said.
Hai Xiaotang didn’t refuse, she walked him to the front door, actually, she had something to tell him.
Standing at the entrance, she asked him in a neutral tone: “What was your intention today? Why are you meddling in my affairs?”
Dongfang Yu was standing with his back to the street light, his large shadow almost shrouded her completely.
“No particular intention, 1 just don’t want to waste your talent.”
“Whether it’s wasted or not is my business, you shouldn’t bother with it.”
“Regardless, we were once, technically, husband and wife. I naturally wouldn’t hesitate to help you if I can.”
Hai Xiaotang chuckled, “1 remember you saying that you wished I were dead!”
Dongfang Yu’s gaze darkened instantly, “1 am very sorry.”
“What?”
“About the past, all I can say is sorry, but I can’t make time go backward. So now, I’ll try to make it up to you.”
“No need, all I need is for you to stop bothering me!” Hai Xiaotang quickly stated.
She insisted on divorcing him because she wanted to be far away from him and live a life that belongs to herself.
She didn’t need his good intentions at all.
“Whether you need it or not is your problem, but I’ll do my part!” Dongfang Yu said coldly and then walked away.
Hai Xiaotang frowned, this man was so overbearing.
“Dongfang Yu, if you really care about me, then stop bothering me!”
The man didn’t look back.
How could he possibly leave her alone?
He thought he could forget her, but it turned out to be even more unforgettable!
Over the past two days, he had tried all means to forget her.
But he had failed, her appearance and laughter were engraved more vividly in his memory.
At times, because he missed her so much, he felt a tearing pain in his chest.
Just like now, just turning around made his chest painfully tear again…
The next morning, the chef Dongfang Yu had recommended came.
The food he prepared was indeed delicious, very refreshing and appetizing. Hai Zhiyuan had two big bowls for lunch.
Seeing her grandpa enjoy eating, Hai Xiaotang had no choice but to accept Dongfang Yu’s goodwill this time.
Moreover, this chef was indeed perfect, he even knew what she liked to eat..
