Can We Say No to Divorce?-Chapter 668 - 416: Side Story - Come Back Home with Me
"If you can’t give a reason, then come home with me!" Tang Baijin said directly.
"I want to stay at Sister Tong’s place." Tian Xin found an excuse.
Tang Baijin pointed downstairs: "Duan Feixun’s parents have come, they are looking forward to their son returning, and you can see just how much your Sister Tong is anticipating Duan Feixun’s return. Why are you intruding in their family business?"
"I’m going back to my own home," Tian Xin immediately said.
At this moment, Tian Xin did not want to see Tang Baijin; she just wanted to be alone and calm down. So, she got up, went to the bathroom to change clothes, came out, and left with Tang Baijin.
After leaving the door, Tian Xin refused to get into Tang Baijin’s car and walked ahead on her own.
Tang Baijin caught her with one hand, Tian Xin struggled a few times, but she couldn’t break free.
"Tang Baijin, let go!" Tian Xin glared at him.
However, Tang Baijin pulled her into his embrace, "Be good, stop making trouble! Come back with me."
Tian Xin listened to his caring tone, which seemed to remind her of the old Tang Baijin, but what he did last night truly broke her heart!
For the first time, he was confused by drugs, and she had never blamed him for that!
But this second time, they were both sober, and he disregarded her pleas, forcibly making her his woman—she was really angry!
"I can give you an explanation for what happened last night!" Tang Baijin said.
Tian Xin looked at him; her pretty face became stern. What’s done is done, would an explanation make any difference?
"I’ll just consider it as if I was bitten by a dog!" After saying that, Tian Xin looked away from him.
"Tian Xin!"
Tian Xin was startled and hastily pushed against his head, but her strength was no match for Tang Baijin, and pushing against him felt almost like a half-hearted rejection.
From the corner of her eye, Tian Xin saw a car stop in front of them; it was Gu Qingchen and Bei Ran who had come over.
Gu Qingchen and Bei Ran came to see Duan Feixun’s parents. Currently, there was no news from Duan Feixun, but the parents had come from far away, so they came over to comfort the elderly.
"Ranran is here!" Tian Xin hurriedly said.
Tang Baijin didn’t look, he just said: "For me, Ranran is in the past, and you, Tian Xin, are my present and future. Live with me."
Undeniably, in the past life of Tang Baijin, Bei Ran had occupied the most important place in his heart. But people are always growing.
Tang Baijin was always growing, and he knew who he truly wanted.
Although Tian Xin kept rejecting him, why did she always think that their relationship was just friendship?
Although puzzled, Tang Baijin could not bring himself to question her directly.
Tian Xin looked at him, "I think, could you give me some time to calm down?"
She was not a little girl, and she did not want to be with him just because they had slept together and had an intimate relationship.
"I can give you time, but let me make it clear to you, Tian Xin, Yang Junyi is not right for you." Tang Baijin said very seriously, "I hope that during your time to reflect, you won’t be in contact with him. Otherwise, don’t blame me for prematurely ending your time to calm down."
Tian Xin nodded her head; naturally, she wouldn’t do such a thing.
"Let’s go back to your parents’ home for now. They are very worried about you." Tang Baijin had a good relationship with Tian Xin’s parents, and he naturally felt bad for the elderly couple worrying about Tian Xin.
Tian Xin looked at him: "Do they know about my situation?"
"I got through on the phone, but I didn’t mention anything," Tang Baijin smiled slightly.
"Thank you!" Tian Xin said gratefully, "Marrying Junyi was a thoughtless decision of mine; I was manipulated by his father, and I’m worried that my parents will be angry if they know. Please don’t tell them, can you do that?"
Seeing her cooperative attitude, Tang Baijin said: "I can keep your secret, but you have to give me a little sweetener..."
"You..." Tian Xin glared at him, "You didn’t use to be like this!"
Tang Baijin had indulged her too much in the past, so much so that now she had been spoiled to the point of recklessness, even really marrying Yang Junyi. Tang Baijin had not gotten over this matter, so he must adjust his strategy and completely monopolize this silly girl.
"From now on, I have to be like this," Tang Baijin said. "Get in the car first!"
Although Tian Xin was apprehensive, she still got into the car with him, and they headed towards the Tian Family’s home together.
Until she got out of the car, Tang Baijin did not ask for the sweetener, which made Tian Xin a little bit happy. As long as she could get past her parents, she would deny any such agreement.
After all, she was not ready to engage in any intimate actions with him before she had thought things through clearly.
The two walked into the house together, with Tian Xin greeting, "Dad, Mom, I’m back!"
"Hello Uncle, Auntie!" Tang Baijin always remembered to bring gifts every time he visited, and this time, returning from abroad, he had specially brought an LV tote bag for Tian Xin’s mother, followed by a Swiss luxury Earl Watch for Tian Xin’s father.
For women, carrying an LV bag even to the market is a sign of taste.
For men, an Earl Watch on the wrist is both prestigious and dignified.
Tang Baijin placed the gifts on the table: "I just got back from an academic conference abroad and brought some small gifts for Uncle and Auntie, hoping to make you happy."
Tian Xin’s parents were stunned. Although Tang Baijin always brought gifts on his visits, they were mostly things like tobacco, alcohol, and tea. But this time, even a conservative estimate of the cost would be in the hundreds of thousands.
Of course, Tang Baijin had already decided to start a family with Tian Xin and had already made her his woman again the night before. So to him, these gifts were just a trifle.
Not only Tian Xin’s parents were dumbfounded, but Tian Xin herself was too.
He’s trying to buy over my parents with material things! I hope my parents won’t sell their daughter for this!
"My mother goes to the market every day, she doesn’t need an LV bag," Tian Xin spoke up immediately, "Even if my mom really did carry an LV bag, people would say it’s fake."
Tian Xin’s mother: "..."
"My dad has been dedicated to his work all his life. If he suddenly starts wearing an Earl Watch, wouldn’t someone suspect him of taking bribes before he retires? It could affect his reputation," Tian Xin continued.
Tian Xin’s father: "..."
Tang Baijin still said with a smile, "Uncle and Auntie can say it was a gift from their son-in-law."
Tian Xin: "..."
Without giving them much room to think, he said, "Uncle, Auntie, I am dating Tian Xin with the intention of getting married. I hope you’ll entrust her to me, I will take good care of her."
Tian Xin could no longer stay calm and immediately rushed in front of him, "You said you would give me time to think!"
"Yes, I did," Tang Baijin did not deny, and he looked towards Tian Xin’s parents again, "I was speaking to Uncle and Auntie."
Truth be told, Tian Xin’s parents were quite satisfied with Tang Baijin. The old couple exchanged glances; they had long guessed his intentions, but had not spoken openly about it, neither had they pressed the issue.
"Baijin, we naturally trust you, but can your parents accept Tian Xin?" Tian Xin’s mother was still worried.
Tang Baijin said, "I won’t hide it from you, I’ve severed my emotional ties with my parents. I love my career as an architect, my father wants me to take over the family business, and my mother always interferes with my choice of partner. I only choose the woman I like. Over the years, I haven’t relied on my family’s connections; I’ve achieved everything through my own efforts. Moreover, I’ve never been involved with any woman in an inappropriate manner. I think that Tang Baijin, who has struggled and maintained his integrity, is even more suitable to be the son-in-law of the Tian Family."
His words were indeed touching.
In A City, spoiled rich kids who rely on their family connections are common. What else can they do besides using their parents’ fame and money?
On the other hand, achievements carved out through one’s own efforts are the most respectable.
For example, Gu Qingchen, who broke away from the constraints of commerce at the Gu Family, is a very famous doctor in the medical field.
For example, Tang Baijin also left the Tang Family, and in the field of architectural design, his reputation is also very high.
Of course, when it comes to his relationships with women, besides Tian Xin, he naturally would not tell her parents about them.
"That’s very good," Tian Xin’s mother said, "Xinxin ..."
"I’m tired, I’m going to take a shower first," Tian Xin immediately ran into her room.
Tian Xin’s mother: "..."
"No worries, I’ll wait for her," Tang Baijin said with great magnanimity, "She’s tired today, let her rest. I’ll head back first."
"Baijin, come over for a meal when you’re free!" Tian Xin’s mother said.
"Alright, Auntie, I’m leaving," Tang Baijin left. He got into his car, then sent a message to Tian Xin: "Remember you owe me a sweet favor."
Tian Xin did not reply to his message, she hugged her pillow in a daze. Now that Tang Baijin had laid his cards out to her parents, he had backed her into a "dead end."
This man seemed to be kind to her, but every step he took entrapped her, leaving her no room to move.
Shortly after, her mother pushed the door open and entered, "Xinxin, as your parents, we do think Baijin is a good match. He’s capable, he’s good to our family, but the key is still your own feelings..."
Tian Xin remained silent.
"Are you still thinking about Junyi?" her mother asked with a bit of harshness in her tone.
"No..." Tian Xin answered vacantly. She was even more afraid to tell her mother that she had married Yang Junyi under the emotional influence of Ji Su and Gu Yucheng’s love story, when Yang Junyi had taken her to the Civil Affairs Bureau without much thought and they had gotten married on a whim.
If her mother knew that Yang’s father had drugged her and sent her to a hotel to be mistreated by another man before calling Yang Junyi to catch them, would she be angry enough to spit blood?
