TO MY DEAR MR. HUO

453-456

Chapter 453: She Loves You Enough to Listen to You

Li Qianxue frowned. She lost her patience as Su Peizhen kept pressing her.

“If you insist on knowing, I will—”

“Let me explain.”

A new voice that had not spoken before called out. The tone was gentle but weary, hoarse and frustrated.

Li Qianxue looked up, casting her eyes upon the man to whom she has been married half her life. Under normal circumstances, he should have been there with the family.

Li Qianxue’s face turned grave. She folded her arms across her chest, her eyes ice cold.

Why did he come here? All the pain and suffering she had experienced until today was because of him. Why did he still come?

Did he come here to rub it all in her face?

Old Master Li was unhappy to see Su Chenghui as well. However, as the most senior member of the family, he managed to keep calm.

“Dad.”

Su Peizhen looked at Su Chenghui as if she saw her savior. She marched toward Su Chenghui with her eyes fixed on him. She could not keep tears from welling up in her eyes.

Directing his eyes at Su Peizhen, Su Chenghui looked torn. He turned his head and stared at Li Qianxue.

Li Qianxue, dressed in a white gown, looked elegant and graceful. The hint of anger on her face did not impair her grace but added vitality to her beauty.

She was gorgeous. Su Chenghui sighed silently. Why had he been blind for so many years to the fact that he had such a wife?

What pained him most was that by the time he realized what was truly going on in his heart, their marriage was coming to an end.

His heart ached. Gazing at Li Qianxue, he had a thousand words to say to her but failed to utter a single one.

“Dad—”

When Su Peizhen noticed Su Chenghui wasn’t paying her any attention, she couldn’t help but stomp and call his name.

“Peizhen.”

Su Chenghui looked back at his daughter and suppressed his rueful feelings.

Facing Su Peizhen, who looked indignant, he felt guilty regarding her for the first time.

His mistake was irreversible. What mattered now was finding a way to make up for his error.

“Peizhen, follow me.”

There was a definite tone of bitterness and regret in his voice.

Su Peizhen was unwilling to go. At this point, her intuition told her that Su Chenghui was going to say things that she didn’t want to hear.

Su Peizhen suddenly changed her mind. “Dad. I... I want to hear the answer right here.”

Su Chenghui’s face fell. He was reminded of the accusation he had heard from Xiang Caiping.

Su Chenghui did not think of it before, but today, for the first time, it occurred to him that he had spoiled Su Peizhen.

“Come with me.”

The simple words were spoken so strongly that Su Peizhen couldn’t resist. In this family, if there was someone whom Su Peizhen usually disregarded, it was Su Chenghui. However, at the same time, Su Chenghui was also the one most likely to put her in her place in extreme situations.

On the one hand, Su Chenghui gave people an impression of gentleness, as if he would never get angry.

On the other hand, the whole family knew that if Su Chenghui lost his temper, no one could withstand his anger.
