Chapter 1684 - 1103: Waiting
The Second Watch.
-----------
Seeing Shuanshuan’s stubborn little face, Loo Xixia couldn’t help but laugh out loud: "Shuanshuan, are you afraid I might hit your father? Don’t worry, I won’t hit him."
"Aunt Xixia, can you keep your promise?" Shuanshuan asked, looking up with a small face.
"Of course, I will keep my promise."
"My mom always breaks her promises." Shuanshuan hesitated a bit, "My dad says that women can break their promises; Aunt Xixia, you’re a woman too, right?"
"That’s right, Aunt Xixia is also a woman, but Shuanshuan can rest assured, Aunt Xixia will definitely keep her word."
Shuanshuan looked up at Lin Chuyue and saw her nodding at him, finally following her out the door without hesitation.
Only Loo Xixia and Lin Chudong remained in the room.
"You..."
"You..."
"You go first..."
"You go first..."
The two spoke at the same time twice in a row, making them giggle with embarrassment, and the atmosphere became less tense.
"Shuanshuan is such an adorable child, Lin Chudong. If your life were happy, I definitely wouldn’t disturb you. Originally, that was really my plan.
But now, seeing your kindness and such a lovely Shuanshuan, I want to do my best to turn this situation around and hope you’ll give me a chance.
Before, we missed the opportunity, but fortunately, we realized it before it was too late. What I said earlier is sincere: I can choose not to have children. You must believe me; I am never one to make empty promises.
These matters have gone over countless times in my mind, and after deep contemplation, there’s no chance of regret. As for my parents, you don’t have to worry too much.
These past few years, they have been worried sick about my marriage, arranging several blind dates, but every time, they ended in nothing. Later, not wanting them to worry pointlessly, I shared my feelings with them.
I won’t lie to you; they definitely disapprove. However, they have always been enlightened people. If I insist on choosing you, they won’t make things difficult for you. They only hope you treat them well and show them your sincerity so they understand that my choice is the right one.
That’s just how I am; if I believe in something, I will persist until the end, even if I get beaten and bloodied. Even if you keep rejecting me, I will never give up.
If you really can’t let go of Liu Meiqing now, I can wait, even if it’s a lifetime, I won’t regret it, or perhaps that’s my fate, and I can’t blame anyone else.
Don’t feel that I’m intentionally pressuring you; for me, this is my true inner thought. I don’t want to hide it from you, and I hope you clearly see my determination.
Okay, I’ve said everything I should and can say. Now it’s your turn. If it’s still the same reasons as before, there’s no need to repeat them. If there’s something else, please continue."
"Can you let me think about it?" Lin Chudong asked with conflicted feelings, "Right now, my emotions are very confused, and based on what I know of Liu Meiqing, she would never agree to divorce me.
Besides, considering her age now, what will she do after the divorce? Her family is quite pragmatic and definitely won’t let her return home, which means she’ll have to stay in my house.
My parents aren’t sentimental, and if I really divorce Liu Meiqing, they might immediately kick her out. When someone has no place to stay, where can they find reason?
What’s more, Liu Meiqing isn’t rational, and if she finds out I divorced her to be with you, she’d definitely stir up trouble for us throughout the county so everyone knows.
Even if I don’t mind, I can’t harm you like this, and there’s Shuanshuan. I said before that I genuinely don’t want his life to be negatively impacted because of me.
Xixia, if after all this, you still insist, then I will try to find a way. However, what the final outcome will be, I can’t guarantee right now."
"Do you know why I’m so adamant?"
"Why?" Lin Chudong looked at her, baffled. He thought that, given everything he just said, no forgiving girl would want to be with him.
"Because of your kindness..." sighing, Loo Xixia looked at him earnestly, "When you gave all those reasons, there was a moment I was very angry.
I had already set aside my pride, yet you still boast and consider all sorts of things, but then I calmed down and understood that this is your true value and the fundamental reason I haven’t been able to let you go all these years.
