Attention Sir, I Have Your Heart Handcuffed!-Chapter 633 - 471. The Best Decision (4 Updates)

Seeing Tang Yanqing kneel down like this, tears also fell from Shi Nian’s eyes.

She understood that his kneeling was an acknowledgment of many past events.

Qi Xiuqi squinted his eyes, glaring fiercely at Tang Yanqing.

Xu Xinzhen sighed deeply, turned around to embrace Jieyou, and said softly, "Youyou, be good, Grandma will buy you candy."

Xu Xinzhen embraced Jieyou as they walked past Qi Xiuqi, also pulling his arm: "Xiao Qi, children’s eyes are pure, it’s not good for them to stay in this cemetery too long. Help me hold her, let’s take a walk outside."

Qi Xiuqi understood that the teacher’s wife wanted Shi Nian and Tang Yanqing to be alone in front of the teacher’s tombstone to talk.

Their conversation might involve past events. As one of the witnesses back then, Qi Xiuqi had tried to piece together those events over the years, yet some things still remained unclear, so he also really wanted to stay and hear what Tang Yanqing had to say...

But clearly, his presence was already unnecessary.

Looking back, he saw the junior sister standing beside the man in police uniform kneeling at the tombstone, with a face and demeanor full of tension, yet also full of—tenderness.

Qi Xiuqi gently closed his eyes.

Since there is tenderness in her heart, perhaps in front of such emotions, hatred and resentment aren’t important anymore. Even if Tang Yanqing made mistakes back then, perhaps the junior sister has long ago forgiven everything, only awaiting an answer, rather than pursuing relentlessly.

If that’s the case... then he had no reason to stay.

He picked up Jieyou, supported the teacher’s wife, and walked down the long stairs.

No matter how long the road, it will inevitably reach the end one day.

.

Xu Xinzhen and Qi Xiuqi led Jieyou away first, yet Tang Yanqing seemed oblivious. His entire focus was on the tombstone in front, focused on the middle-aged man in police uniform.

Shi Nian resembled Xu Xinzhen a bit more, with features soft and lively; yet Shi Nian’s brows inherited Shi Haoran’s stern dignity. He had seen her focused expression during reasoning and when she insisted on her viewpoints, during those times this dignity between her brows shone even brighter, leaving no room for doubt.

Tang Yanqing sighed, "Old man, we finally meet today. No matter what, I’ve gained a huge advantage because you can’t jump up to oppose me anymore, nor do you have the chance to scold me harshly. So whatever I ask today, you have no way to refuse."

He said jokingly, but Shi Nian could see faint tears flashing in his eyes.

He lightly coughed to cover his emotions, then slowly said, "Today, I’m here to ask you, to marry off your precious daughter to me as my wife, huh?"

Shi Nian felt a lump in her throat.

With tears in his eyes, he shook his head with a hint of childish defiance, smiling at the photo of Shi Haoran: "You can’t oppose, so I’ll take it as acceptance. Even if you had a way to jump up and oppose, I still wouldn’t let go of her hand. In short, old man, your daughter is destined to be mine in this life. No matter who tries to stop or rob, it’s useless."

The mountain wind blew, the treetops rustling, as if someone was grumbling discontentedly.

Tang Yanqing laughed: "Trying to scare me won’t work, either you jump up and beat me."

He took a deep breath, lowered his gaze: "I know how awful the things I did back then were, I think I should’ve been the one to die. How could I let you go in my place?"

"Did you know, when I woke up two months later and heard the news of your tragedy... I wanted to dash my head against the wall. I was the one who deserved death, me, I rushed back to China hoping to see you one last time or die in front of you. But when I returned, I heard that even... she was gone. The police told me she was also buried in that fire... If they hadn’t said that, maybe I really would have gone with you."

"The officer who said that to me, I saw his expression and knew he was lying. At that time China’s police hadn’t undergone micro-expression analysis training, right? So they didn’t know how to cover their expressions, even your chief was the same, so I realized there must have been something untold."

"I thought, going with you to die was easy, but if I also died, and if she really encountered danger, then what? So I shamelessly lived on, I had to find her."
