Chapter 1685 - 1103: Waiting (2)
If at the beginning you had taken advantage of me in any way, or perhaps, I wouldn’t be this insistent. It’s because all your kindness towards me was without expecting anything in return that I could understand your heart and also understand mine.
So, exactly because you are so kind, you will always contemplate and weigh your thoughts when facing such problems. You chose Liu Meiqing because you feel she is the weak one and you want to be responsible for her life.
A man like you, anyone who marries you will be blessed. So now, I’m not making things difficult for you. The choice, let Liu Meiqing choose for herself, okay?"
Lin Chudong looked puzzled: "Let her choose?"
"Yes, let her choose for herself." Loo Xixia smiled at him, "Do you think I’m such a bad person, to take you away and not care about Liu Meiqing at all?"
"How do you plan to care for her?" Lin Chudong’s brow furrowed, "Xixia, she’s a greedy person. If you negotiate with her, she might infuriate you."
"Am I that foolish?" Loo Xixia gave him a reproving look, "Alright, you don’t need to worry about this matter. From now on, I won’t ask about your decisions anymore.
If within ten days, there’s no change in Liu Meiqing, then let’s pretend I never said those previous words. As for whether I marry in this lifetime or not, you don’t need to feel guilty.
If within ten days Liu Meiqing proposes divorce, and you really do get divorced, then you must choose me. At that time, you can’t use getting divorced as an excuse to say you are unworthy, okay?"
"Okay." Lin Chudong nodded decisively, "I’ll listen to you, absolutely no more excuses."
"It’s a deal!"
"It’s a deal!"

With the status of Yun Fengshan and Old Master Lan, Huhu’s full moon banquet was even more lively than Longlong’s. Zhou Hanliang is the pride of the Old Zhou family, something the Old Zhou family has known for a long time. But when they came to the full moon banquet and saw familiar faces that could only be seen in the newspapers, they finally understood just how accomplished their child truly is!
Li Yuxiang also came along. She had begged Zhou Hanying, clinging shamelessly to be brought along.
For this, Zhou Hanying specially went to Yun Doudou to apologize. She understands Li Yuxiang’s intentions and character better than anyone, but their friendship from growing up together couldn’t allow her to sever ties coldly.
"Alright, no need to explain..." Yun Doudou interrupted Zhou Hanying’s desperate explanations with a smile, "You and she are childhood friends after all. If she pleaded with you, given the neighborhood situation, it’s understandable you wouldn’t want to turn against her.
As long as she stays honest and doesn’t overstep, coming here is no big deal..." Pausing, Yun Doudou earnestly looked at Zhou Hanying, "You can tell her exactly what I said."
"Sister-in-law, I will." Zhou Hanying nodded repeatedly, "I’ll definitely remind her to be honest. Seeing the prominence outside, she should be too intimidated to do anything excessive."
The full moon banquet was held at the newly built Phoenix Grand Hotel in A City, where the banquet hall could accommodate nearly 300 people. Yun Doudou had just given birth, so Lan Ailian especially reserved a suite for her. Before the banquet started, she rested there, and after it began, she came out holding Huhu to make a brief appearance and then could return to the room for a meal.
As such, Chuxia, Luo Xiaoqiong, Liu Meijun, Zhang Erniu, and others were there with her. After Zhou Hanying left, Luo Xiaoqiong couldn’t help but sigh, "Your little sister-in-law is bound to suffer eventually; her heart is too soft."
Yun Doudou just shook her head helplessly: "Growing up involves experiencing hardships. If she doesn’t go through it herself, she won’t listen even if we tell her."
"It sounds like you’ve gone through a terribly tough life yourself..." Luo Xiaoqiong rolled her eyes at her, "In reality, isn’t she older than you? The way you talk, tsk tsk..."
"Yes, she’s older than me, but growing up with her parents around and her brother’s protection, while life wasn’t affluent, she hasn’t really faced any setbacks. So on certain matters, she genuinely isn’t as experienced as I am.
Of course, by saying this, I’m not saying my foster parents treated me poorly. On the contrary, they cherished me especially, even more than their own daughters and sons.
But the actual situation of my home during that period was there. Even if they protected me, there were still many people secretly plotting against me; I’ve really been schemed against many times.
People, you know, after one setback come wiser..." Sighing, Yun Doudou looked melancholic, "If possible, I truly wouldn’t wish for her to go through those things that would make her mature yet lose her innocence."
"You mean you’ve become not innocent now?" Luo Xiaoqiong sized her up, "Honestly, are there things you’ve hidden from us? Quickly confess."
"What have I ever hidden from you guys?" Yun Doudou glared at her helplessly, "I meant in the past, before our family reunion, I was always being plotted against. If one keeps getting schemed against and still doesn’t grow or keeps being naive, that would be genuinely foolish, right?"
"Doudou, are you talking about me?" Yun Guoguo looked at her sister sorrowfully, "I’m always being fooled; does that mean I’m the truly foolish one?"
"Guoguo isn’t foolish..." Yun Doudou hurried to rectify, "Guoguo is kind; kindness and foolishness are different."
Yun Guoguo rolled her eyes: "You’re clearly trying to fool a fool with that talk!"
Yun Doudou: "..." (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users should go to m.qidian.com for reading.)
