Chapter 148 Emotional Turbulence 1
"Tongwei, I know I shouldn't come back, but I can't forget everything we had."
Chen Yang's voice trembled slightly and her eyes were full of pleading.
Gao Xiaoqin seemed calmer. She looked at Qi Tongwei and said calmly, "Tongwei, the past is over. We should not be bound by it anymore. But I hope to have a clear break with you."
Qi Tongwei took a deep breath. He knew he could no longer escape and had to face it all.
He looked at Chen Yang and Gao Xiaoqin and said slowly: "You are all important people in my life. I admit that I have done many things wrong in the past.
But now I have a family of my own, a wife and a newborn child who need me.”
A hint of disappointment flashed across Chen Yang's eyes, while Gao Xiaoqin nodded slightly to show her understanding.
"I don't want our past to affect my present life."
Qi Tongwei continued, "I am willing to sit down with you and have a good talk to resolve the problems between us."
In the following period of time, Qi Tongwei had in-depth exchanges with Chen Yang and Gao Xiaoqin.
They talked about the past and their future.
"Tongwei, from now on, wherever you are, there we will be."
"Yes, from now on, wherever you are, there we will be."
Chen Yang and Gao Xiaoqin were firm in their attitude, even though they knew it.
Liang Lu is pregnant with Qi Tongwei's child, but they feel that it is not too late.
Faced with the firm attitudes of Chen Yang and Gao Xiaoqin, Qi Tongwei felt unprecedentedly conflicted.
He understood that these two women had deep feelings for him.
But at the same time, he also knew that he already had Liang Lu and the upcoming child, and he needed to be responsible for this family.
"Chen Yang, Xiao Qin, I am very grateful for your deep affection for me."
Qi Tongwei said in a deep voice, his eyes revealing determination and sincerity, "But I have my own family now, I must be responsible for them,
I hope you can understand my position and find your own happiness."
Chen Yang and Gao Xiaoqin looked at each other, and a hint of complexity flashed in their eyes.
They knew that Qi Tongwei was telling the truth, but they couldn't let go of the feelings in their hearts.
"Tongwei, we don't mean to cause you any trouble."
Chen Yang spoke slowly, his voice trembling a little, "We just feel that the problems between us have not been resolved, and we don't want to give up just like that."
Gao Xiaoqin also continued: "Yes, we are not asking you to do anything, we just hope that we can have a clear break and not let the past haunt us all the time."
Qi Tongwei took a deep breath. He knew it was a difficult decision, but he also knew that he had to make a choice.
"I understand how you feel, but my life has changed now."
Qi Tongwei said firmly, "I can't let the past affect my current family. I hope we can all let go of the past and look forward."
Chen Yang and Gao Xiaoqin were silent. They knew that Qi Tongwei's decision had been made, and they also needed to make a choice for their own future.
After an in-depth communication, Chen Yang and Gao Xiaoqin finally decided to respect Qi Tongwei's choice.
They understand that true love is wanting the other person to be happy, not being a burden to the other person.
“Tongwei, we respect your decision,” Chen Yang said. “We will leave, but we hope we can still be friends.”
Gao Xiaoqin also nodded in agreement: "Yes, we hope you can be happy, and we also hope that we can all move on from the past and find our own lives."
Qi Tongwei felt relieved. He knew it was a difficult decision, but he also knew it was the best choice.
"Thank you for your understanding. I also hope that we can all be happy." Qi Tongwei said with a smile, "No matter what the future holds, we are friends."
"Yes, we are good friends, and good friends should live in your house and never leave."
"Yes, yes, that's right. We feel the same way. We will stay in your house forever."
Qi Tongwei was stunned. Chen Yang and Gao Xiaoqin's sudden change caught him off guard.
He thought the two had understood and accepted his position, but their current statements were completely beyond his expectations.
"Chen Yang, Xiao Qin, I appreciate your willingness to remain friends with me, but living in my house is not a reasonable request."
Qi Tongwei tried his best to maintain a calm tone, but his inner anxiety had begun to rise.
Chen Yang and Gao Xiaoqin looked at each other and smiled, as if they had anticipated Qi Tongwei's reaction.
Chen Yang said: "Tongwei, we don't really want to disturb your life.
We just want to say that no matter what happens, we support your decision and hope that our friendship will last forever."
Gao Xiaoqin added: "Yes, Tongwei, we were just joking and wanted to see your reaction.
We certainly understand that you need your own space, and we won’t actually show up uninvited.”
Qi Tongwei breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that this might be the two trying to ease the tense atmosphere with humor.
He smiled and responded: "You two are really something, you can't make such jokes casually,
But I’m really glad we can remain friends.”
The atmosphere between the three of them gradually eased, and they began to talk about some light topics, recalling the good times they had spent together in the past.
Qi Tongwei also gradually relaxed. He felt a long-lost warmth and intimacy.
Liang Lu listened to their conversation quietly in another room, feeling a little uneasy.
But I am also happy that Qi Tongwei was able to reconcile with his past friends.
She knew that Qi Tongwei needed time to deal with these complex emotional relationships, and she was willing to give him her greatest support and understanding.
In fact, when it comes down to it, Liang Lu also feels that she is rather selfish.
Having Qi Tongwei all to herself, she felt quite uncomfortable.
Liang Lu's mood was complicated. She felt a little guilty but also relieved.
She knew that Qi Tongwei's past was a part of his life that she could not erase, nor should she try to erase.
She stood up, took a deep breath, and decided to join their conversation to show her attitude and support.
When she walked into the living room and saw Qi Tongwei, Chen Yang and Gao Xiaoqin chatting and laughing, a warm feeling surged in her heart.
She walked to Qi Tongwei with a smile and gently held his hand. "Tongwei, I am very happy to see that you can reconcile. This is also very important to me."
Qi Tongwei looked at Liang Lu, his eyes full of gratitude and love, "Thank you, Lulu, your understanding and support mean a lot to me."
