Chapter 542 - The One I Chose Is A Woman Who Has Gone Through Many Vicissitudes Of Life
Wei Zhengsheng looked at her but didn't say anything. He was waiting for her to continue.
"Actually, I don't know why, but people say that there is no reason for a person to truly love someone. Maybe Qin Gengxin isn't the best man and he can't be said to be the most perfect man, but everyone will have their own shortcomings, everyone will have their own obsession. I once thought that as long as I stand by his side and keep walking with him, everything will be fine. It was until I got pregnant, got married, and until Qianqian was born, I finally knew that falling in love with someone who doesn't love you is such a painful thing."
As she said that, Xian Guiying lightly withdrew her fingers from her hands and clenched them into a fist. She lifted her eyes and looked into Wei Zhengsheng's calm eyes. "It's kind of torture. After two years without his presence, I almost became numb to it. Having Qianqian with me already enough for me."
"What about now? For you to suddenly say so much, does that mean you're willing to turn back?" Wei Zhengsheng asked.
Xian Guiying just smiled. She paused before nodding hesitantly. In the end, she sighed helplessly and said, "I don't know either."
"I just …" She looked up at him.
Wei Zhengsheng looked at her in understanding: "So, your tiredness is my opportunity to get in?"
Xian Guiying giggled and pushed her hair away from her face. She leaned back with a smile and looked at Wei Zhengsheng, who was still calm and patient, "We're no longer young. As expected, discussing things like a relationship can be like a discussion of a meeting. My best days of innocence really slipped away."
Then she laughed, ruffled her hair, stroked her smooth forehead, and smiled. "What a pity."
Wei Zhengsheng just looked at her with a smile on his face as he listened to her nagging patiently.
He knew that every time Xian Guiying encountered a problem, she would start talking a lot. It was just like now, when she talked to herself, talking a lot of irrelevant things until she figured it out herself, then she would calm down.
After a while, Xian Guiying stopped joking and stared into Wei Zhengsheng's eyes. "Like I said, loving someone who doesn't love you is very painful. Since you think it was a mistake for me to choose Qin Gengxin, isn't it a mistake for you to choose me now?"
"We're not the same."
"What's different? Not everyone falls in love with someone who doesn't love them. Not everyone's love stories are just like in Chiung Yao's novel!"
Wei Zhengsheng first looked at her, then stood up and walked over to her. He stood behind her chair, slowly bent down and placed his hands on her shoulders, then lowered his head and said gently not far away from her ear. "The one you chose was someone that you want to run away from. The one I chose is a woman who has gone through many vicissitudes of life. I want her to have a warm home, a home of her own."
Warm Home...
Xian Guiying lowered her head and looked at her palms. She pursed her lips but did not deny it.
That's right, after two years of marriage, she no longer had any hopes or fantasies about this marriage. She just wanted to live peacefully with Qin Wenqian and Wei Zhengsheng had given her an option.
"Are you serious?" Xian Guiying directly turned around to look at him.
Wei Zhengsheng raised his eyebrows. "What do you think? Since when I was the kind of person who liked to joke about such things?"
Xian Guiying didn't say anything. She thought for a moment and then calmly said, "Give me time to consider, Brother Wei."
When Xian Guiying said this, even she, herself, didn't expect that she would be so straightforward. There were no superfluous words, and after talking for a long time, the result was that she only needed some time to consider.
Truly, if it were a few years ago, she definitely wouldn't need time to think.
But now, perhaps people really will change. In the helplessness and vicissitudes of life, many things that they have sincerely believed in before, in the end, become less certain.
Was her love not strong enough? Eleven years was almost half of her life.
No matter how stubborn a person was, she will still become tired. If she didn't give up, it would become more painful.
***
Two days later, after work hours ended, Dalisay and Darna called Xian Guiying to say that they had taken Qin Wenqian to the amusement park, so Xian Guiying planned to drive straight to the amusement park to pick them up.
Wei Zhengsheng had planned to take her to dinner. Knowing that she would pick up the kid, he patted the front passenger seat and told her he would drive her to the amusement park.
Qin Wenqian always liked Wei Zhengsheng. Thinking that she hadn't met him in a long time, Xian Guiying didn't reject his offer and went straight into his car.
When they arrived at the amusement park, they saw a sweaty Qin Wenqian being carried out by Dalisay and Darna. When she saw Wei Zhengsheng, Qin Wenqian happily waved her chubby hand at him.
"Little Qianqian is getting more and more sensible." Wei Zhengsheng gently stroked her head. When he turned around, he saw Dalisay and Darna had also gotten into the car. He turned his head to look at Xian Guiying. "You want me to send you home?"
Xian Guiying lowered her head, pinched her daughter's nose, and asked, "Baby, Uncle Wei is in charge of driving us home today. Tell me, should we keep Uncle Wei for dinner?"
"Yes!" Qin Wenqian didn't understand the courtesy and politeness of adults. She just listened to her mother's tone and knew that she had to answer. Hearing the crisp word "Yes" from the girl, Wei Zhengsheng immediately smiled. "What? You want to treat me to dinner? Wouldn't that mean I'll have to trouble Dalisay and Darna to prepare dinner? Why don't we give them a rest tonight and go out to eat?"
"They're on leave tonight." Xian Guiying carried her daughter into her arms and took out a wet napkin to wipe the sweat off Qin Wenqian's face and neck. While carefully wiping the sweat off her face, she said, "I'll make dinner today. You haven't tasted my cooking for so many years, so today is the perfect time for you to taste it."
"Then I'm really flattered!" Wei Zhengsheng's face was full of hope. He started the car with a smile and drove to their residence.
