I only recently realized how much I love her, not because she is the perfect match. Li Hao felt a sense of helplessness; he knew that such words would hurt Bai Xue.
"Do you love her more than you ever loved me?" Bai Xue pressed on, unwilling to let it go.
"Bai Xue, I don't know how to explain this to you. Such comparisons are meaningless. I can't love two people at the same time, and the way I love them at different times is also different." He had turned this question over in his mind late into the night.
Bai Xue understood that time could change a lot; the Li Hao of now was truly not the same as the one she once knew.
That night, Lin Xiao slept more soundly than ever before. Over the past eight months, she had traveled to many places, met many people, and learned to reconcile with herself.
Without Li Hao, she wasn't truly happy, but just knowing he was next door brought her a sense of peace. Wang Lei was right; people's eyes are in front of them, and they could have many possibilities for the future, with many "fives" ahead of them.
The next morning, Li Hao insisted on driving Lin Xiao to work. After everything that had happened, Lin Xiao felt more at ease; however, they still parked not far from the Organization Department.
According to Lin Xiao's suggestion, they timed their entrance into the courtyard so as not to arrive together.
"Director Lin, did you come with Li Secretary today?" As soon as Lin Xiao entered her office, Xiao Tian approached her with a mysterious air.
Lin Xiao was startled by his question and almost denied it.
"You can deny it all you want, but Li Secretary has already acknowledged your relationship." Xiao Tian looked around to ensure no one else was present before lowering his voice.
He recalled what Li Hao had said that morning about Lin Xiao being in trouble; Xiao Tian knew that soon the entire Organization Department would be aware of it.
"I won't say anything more; he already mentioned it. Back in April when you first joined the publicity department, you were under a lot of pressure and lost quite a bit of weight. He called me and asked me to take care of you. If anything happens at work, just let him know."
Xiao Tian wore an expression as if he were bearing a heavy burden. "Your Director should know about this too."
"Does Director Fang know as well?"
"I guess she does. Haven't you noticed how she treats you? I saw your duty roster; you weren't scheduled for May Day or National Day. I suspect she knows." Xiao Tian looked at her incredulously.
Lin Xiao felt a mix of emotions from what Xiao Tian said. She believed Li Hao's words from last night, and his comments only reinforced what had been said.
Suppressing her inner feelings, Lin Xiao went to the meeting venue and still sat in the last row. Just seeing Li Hao's silhouette brought her warmth.
After work, they instinctively parted ways toward the parking lot. They ended up dining at a restaurant near Lin Xiao's home before heading back. This time, Li Hao took out the suitcase from the trunk.
"Are you planning to stay with me? Didn't you have arranged accommodations?" Lin Xiao didn't want him to know too quickly that she had forgiven him.
"I took leave to visit my mom," Li Hao replied after thinking for a long time before finding an excuse.
Lin Xiao pretended to go to the guest room, finding a few hangers to hand to him so he could hang up his clothes.
Li Hao thought that this time was an improvement over last night; she didn’t chase him away, and his budding feelings began to stir once more.
After helping him settle in, Lin Xiao prepared to leave.
Li Hao hugged her from behind, pleading, "Don't go."
