Mysterious treasure chest

Chapter 418 No ambition?

"Mom, I didn't mean that, anyway... anyway, the feeling he gives me is unique." Xiao Yating blushed again, and walked out as if fleeing: "Forget it, let's go out, I... I'm thirsty .”

After her daughter opened the door and went out, Gao Yulan sighed softly: "Unique? I think this should be called 'Beauty is in the eye of the beholder'. Anyway, love is always so blind. I only hope that Yang Hao can leave a good time for my daughter." memories, not bitter regrets."

After finishing speaking, she also walked out of the master bedroom, but there was no sign of Yang Hao and his sister.

Xiao Yating was changing her shoes: "Mom, sit down for a while, they should be next door, I'll go over and have a look, and I'll be right back."

"Okay, I just happened to go to the bathroom." Gao Yulan replied, watching her daughter go out, she went into the bathroom to run water to wash her hands.

When she came out, her daughter had already returned, and Yang Hao followed behind.

"Mom, go to the next door and have something to eat. I will chat with Yang Hao alone for a while." Xiao Yating said.

After Gao Yulan left the room, the girl confessed her mother's plan, finally pursed her lips, and asked Yang Hao, "What's your suggestion, Mr. Crutches?"

Yang Hao smiled: "This is a good choice. It can not only achieve your goal, but also prevent you and your father from hurting each other."

Xiao Yating asked: "You mean I should go abroad with my mother?"

Yang Hao shook his head: "No, what I mean is that I respect your choice, not make a decision for you, as I said before, you are an adult, you have the right to make choices, and you must bear the consequences for it, And I'm just your crutch, that's all."

"Then... then what if I want to leave with a cane?" Xiao Yating mustered up her courage and asked, "Would you like to?"

Yang Hao shrugged with a smile: "Please, Miss Fugitive, don't make it as good as the priest questioning at the wedding ceremony."

As he spoke, he scratched his head, and said awkwardly: "As for the question you asked, how should I put it, I have plans to go abroad for development, but definitely not as a 'crutch'."

"And if according to the vision your mother is providing now, you are about to usher in a new life, a life of freedom, and there is no need for me to be your 'Mr. Crutch' any longer."

After listening to Yang Hao's explanation, Xiao Yating instantly became extremely disappointed. She tried her best to look stronger and smiled and said: "I think I understand what you mean, thank you for helping me, I will always Remember."

The girl lowered her head slightly: "Also... I have caused you trouble, but no matter what, I will never allow my father to take revenge on you, never!"

Yang Hao smiled wryly and shook his head: "No, no, on the contrary, I think you don't quite understand what I mean, and even have some misunderstandings."

He explained as best he could, though it was hard to put into words: "Actually, I'm not afraid of your father, really, although in most people's eyes the difference in strength between me and him is greater than that between a dwarf and a giant." The gap is still obvious, but the truth may not be the case, maybe the giant fell in the end instead."

Xiao Yating gritted her teeth and said uncertainly, "Then... can I stay?"

Yang Hao raised his forehead helplessly: "I've said it before, I have no right to make decisions for you. Whether you leave or stay, I respect your choice."

The girl was obviously more puzzled, she bit her lip and asked, "Why, I mean, would you be happy if I stayed? Or the opposite?"

Yang Hao has a bit of a headache. There is no doubt that Xiao Yating's sensibility has already gained the upper hand, and her rationality has been defeated. If this continues, the question will probably become "to love or not to love".

In fact, Yang Hao felt that the relationship between himself and Xiao Yating was far from being in love. Although he did not deny that he had a great affection for Xiao Yating, at most it was to the extent that he liked it, and it was far from love. far away.

He thought for a while, and finally chose to be blunt: "You are Xiao Yating, and I am Yang Hao. You have your dreams and pursuits, and I have mine. The reason why I help you is because I respect you, not Love you, at least not now, do you understand?"

The girl's face turned pale in an instant, but her eyes cleared up in an instant, she should understand, Yang Hao thought.

The silence lasted only a few seconds, and then it was broken by Xiao Yating's slightly hoarse voice: "Then can I ask, what are your dreams and pursuits?"

Yang Hao spread his hands, and said calmly: "It may be similar to yours, that is, to be myself and live a free life. As for the specifics, I haven't decided yet. Maybe travel around the world? Or write a book? Or? Build a business empire and become the richest man in the world?"

He chuckled, and laughed at himself: "Actually, I'm not afraid of your jokes when I say it. I don't have any lofty goals at all, and I don't want to be burdened by fame and fortune. Apart from the moral principles in my heart, I just want to be a happy and free person. Everything else serves this purpose, not the mad pursuit of a certain desire."

In the eyes of most people, this is called 'no ambition', something that should be despised. Yang Hao knows this very well, but he doesn't care.

Xiao Yating listened, silent for a long time, and finally nodded: "Your words... I have written them down, but you and I should be clear that in this world, neither the moral code nor the free life exist independently. Have enough strength to make an endorsement."

She smiled wryly: "For example, without your help, I'm afraid I'm still my 'canary' in the 'cage'. Even now, if I don't have the protection of my mother, I probably have to To some shit 'living free'."

Yang Hao nodded: "Yes, this is the reality, the cruel reality, but fortunately, I have the strength to do what I want to do, including helping you."

Xiao Yating didn't ask what his 'strength' was, or where it came from, but just took a deep breath, and finally nodded slowly and forcefully: "Then I choose to stay."

"Okay, then I'm still your 'Mr. Crutches' and my 'Miss Fugitive'." Yang Hao's expression was very calm, neither joy nor regret, just a natural smile.

He is very confident, the self-confidence that comes from his bones, he is really not afraid of my father at all, Xiao Yating thought, a smile appeared on her face, and a kind of inexplicable joy welled up in her heart.

Maybe it's because I can stay, even if I have to face my father's endless anger and the ending that is destined to be impossible to have both, even so, I am willing.

She finally made up her mind, and she never felt distressed or wavered at all. The only thing she felt a little guilty about was that she had let down her mother's good intentions.

　Thanks for the broken heart reward.
