Then she took a deep breath and sighed ruefully. “Whose childhood isn’t sorrowful? How many people succeed in their first relationships?”
Then she turned to look at Jiao Chen with a serious expression on her face. “Jiaojiao, do you mind?”
Of course, Jiao Chen knew what she was referring to. He tightened his grip on her hand, his answer clear.
Why would he mind?
Su Yue smiled and felt comforted. “I really didn’t love him that much.”
One taught her how to love, the other was by her side as she matured.
And the latter had become her habit.
Xiaojiao’s as well.
Jiao Chen frowned. “Su Yue, I hope that you can follow your heart.”
His tone was sincere, and she couldn’t hear any longing in his voice.
Su Yue was afraid. She was afraid that he would ‘give her his blessings’ because he loved her.
She said, “My heart longs for peace. You make me feel safe. I really meant it when I said that I want to spend my entire life with you.”
She looked at him with a serious expression. “If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t have given birth to Xiaojiao.”
Su Yue bowed her head. “You know my background. Since I was of a young age, I’ve always longed for parents that dote on me, even if they were adoptive parents. How I wished for someone to adopt me and take me home.”
“You gave me the strength. You said that you’d be Xiaojiao’s father so that she wouldn’t suffer the same fate as me when she was born. You said that you’d treat her like a princess.”
So, Jiao Chen wasn’t just her lifesaver.
It was gratitude that she was feeling towards him. She really wanted to give Xiaojiao, and herself, a stable home to make up for what she didn’t have.
She didn’t want to go through the same arduous journey again. She didn’t want to relive the bitter memories.
Jiao Chen looked at her sorrowfully. “Su Yue…”
“I remember how happy you were when Xiaojiao was born.” Su Xiaojiao smiled and continued, “Back then I was thinking, how could such a foolish person exist? She wasn’t even your child.”
“Su Yue, if…” Jiao Chen emphasized, “I mean if, if I wasn’t around, would you be with him?”
“No.” Su Yue shook her head without hesitation. “He’s buried deep within my heart. He gets buried even deeper with each passing year. I don’t plan on digging him out again.”
Back then, her love for him worn him out. She had implicated and hurt so many people.
It wasn’t easy to get over him. But then again, why would she want to live through that again?
They were both in a good place now. There wasn’t a need to.
“What if he really loves you and has been waiting for you?” Jiao Chen asked Su Yue.
His gaze and tone were probing.
Su Yue shook her head. “That wouldn’t happen.”
She then frowned and asked him, “What’s up with you today?”
He had never talked to her about this before because he knew that she didn’t want to talk about it.
But now that she started talking about it, it wasn’t much. It didn’t affect her.
“That child’s mother…” Jiao Chen pressed his lips and hesitated. “Meiduo, passed away not long after we went to Country M.”
Su Yue was in shock. Her hand trembled.
Meiduo… passed away?
It was horrifying news.
Su Yue took a while to recover. “I… I see.”
‘You just need to accept the child.’
