Shu Tian felt aggrieved and had no one to talk to. Tears kept falling down her face. Before Li Han could wipe them out, her tears gushed out again.
Listening to her sobbing, he felt that his heart broke. "Did they say something to you?"
She then shook her head and didn't know how to tell him, afraid that he would quarrel with his grandparents if she spoke out. Therefore, she couldn't say anything.
However, he could also think of the reason. His grandparents came here today to make her look bad, but they didn't expect him to come back so quickly.
Fortunately, he came back. If he didn't, how would they humiliate her?
"The old people are conservative. They are used to being rigid when they are young and judge people according to their outdated standard. You don't have to take it to heart. When they know who you are, they won't do this to you naymore." He then raised his hand and pinned the hair on her face behind his ear. Looking into her red eyes, he bent down to kiss her.
He could taste her tears, which made him feel bitter.
"I, I don't blame them for thinking so. I just feel powerless..." After days of silent treatment and suspicion with him, coupled with the old couple's harsh words, she had endured too much and was on the verge of collapse.
He then hugged her tightly again and patted softly on her back, which was trembling from crying. "Don't worry, I won't let you face it alone. I'll find a way to make them accept you, okay?"
"It's so difficult." Yet she closed her eyes sadly. "Why is it so difficult..."
It was a piece of cake for others, and it was hard for her. In their relationship, there were too many obstacles. Even if they overcame this one, the next one was waiting for them, as if she couldn't see an end.
"Stop crying. Your eyes will be swollen from crying later, huh?" He helped her to the bed and sat down. And he knelt on one knee and looked at her directly.
Feeling the warmth of his palm, she said, "I want to have a moment to myself."
There were so many thoughts and emotions in her heart that she couldn't digest for a moment. She just wanted to sit alone for a while.
Just as he was about to speak, someone knocked on the door of the bedroom from outside. Then Old Master Li's hoarse voice came. "Han, the TV suddenly can't be turned on. Come down and take a look for me."
Subconsciously, she raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her face and quickly urged him. "Just go."
Looking at the woman sitting by the bed, he felt painful. Yet the knocking on the door continued. He then put his hands on his waist, and took a long breath before turning to the door.
The door was opened and he walked out. He quickly closed it again, blocking Old Master Li's view to the room.
Old Master Li was a bit surprised. Seeing that Li Han came out alone, he walked slowly down the stairs. Li Han looked at his unsteady steps and then stepped forward to assist him to the first floor.
"Han, the TV..."
"Enough is enough." Li Han did not even look at the TV. His brows furrowed, and it was not difficult to see his impatience and anger at the moment.
Noticing something was off with the atmosphere between them, Old Lady Li walked out of the kitchen and stood between them. She looked at Li Han with disappointment. "Han, how can you talk to your grandfather like this?"
"I know you're dissatisfied with Shu Tian. You think she's not good enough for me. You've been making things difficult for her since the beginning. I'm not saying anything before, but it doesn't mean that I acquiesce in your actions. I just think you won't go too far, but today it doesn't seem be like that." Slowly, he uttered. Just now, Shu Tian was crying hard, but she refused to say a word. He couldn't bear it anymore.
