Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
From Lei Wangshu’s expression, Xu Qing knew how lively that day probably was. It was a pity that she didn’t see it. However, at that time, she was injured and bedridden. Qiao Yanhui didn’t let her go out, so she couldn’t see that scene.
“It’s been hard on you.” It was so lively, so Lei Wangshu must be very busy.
“Compared to my previous lifestyle, although it’s more arduous, this kind of life is more interesting. It makes me feel that I’m living my life to the fullest.” Lei Wangshu was sincerely grateful to Xu Qing. She wanted to find an opportunity to get revenge on the Yin family. As long as the Yin family received retribution, the regret in her heart would disappear. Every time she saw her son’s injuries and his timidness, her heart ached! The Yin family was so inhumane!
Unfortunately, the Yin family had a relationship with a certain prince now, so she had been enduring it all these years. When the time came, she would definitely make the Yin family pay the price!
Although the Yin family was indeed starting to regret it now, this was not enough for Lei Wangshu. That heartless family had almost killed her two children and almost pushed her down the deep end.
Xu Qing understood the pain in Lei Wangshu’s heart. She comforted Lei Wangshu and gave Xie Pengyang a look. Then, she found an excuse and left, leaving Xie Pengyang and Lei Wangshu alone.
As for whether Xie Pengyang could seize this opportunity, that would depend on Xie Pengyang’s own ability.
Lei Wangshu also knew what Xu Qing was thinking, but currently, she really was not interested in relationships at all. She only wanted to take good care of the children and build a future for them! As for relationships, she didn’t dare to think about them, nor did she want to.
Lei Wangshu was not a dilly-dallying person. She said bluntly, “Xie Pengyang, I won’t develop feelings for you. Give up. It’s impossible between us.”
Xie Pengyang had been preparing what to say for a long time and the words were on the tip of his tongue. When he heard her words, he smiled bitterly and said, “I know you’re very resistant to relationships now, and you’re not interested in them at all. But even if you don’t think about yourself, what about the children? They’re still young. They need a father and a family!”
Lei Wangshu stiffened. The children were indeed very young and needed their father’s protection! But so what? She would make it up to them. Her voice was very cold as she said, “So you mean that I have to find another man for the sake of the children? I chose to marry for love for the first half of my life, but in the end, I suffered retribution. For the second half of my life, I have to find another man for the sake of the children? As a mother, I can give them everything I have and love them unconditionally. I think I’ve done enough, and I don’t need anyone else to judge me.”
Xie Pengyang’s expression darkened. “You’ve misunderstood me. I’m not forcing you to get married! I mean, you can have another person to take care of the children with you. I…”
“Give up! I don’t need it!” Lei Wangshu said again, her voice still as cold as ever.
Xie Pengyang’s expression darkened and he lost his temper. “Since you say that, whoever I like is my business. I like you and I’m willing to wait for you! It has nothing to do with you!” With that, he turned around and left.
As Lei Wangshu watched him leave, her body stiffened, and there was a conflicted look in her eyes. All these years, she had seen what Xie Pengyang had done for her, but she really didn’t dare to trust any man anymore! She was really afraid. Back then, Yin Shaoqing had promised and done as much for her as Xie Pengyang did. In the end…
When Xu Qing came to look for Lei Wangshu after waiting for a long time, she looked at Lei Wangshu, who was standing in the courtyard in a daze, and sighed slightly. “Little Shu, you’re always worried, but if you don’t try, how can you be sure that it won’t work?”
Lei Wangshu’s face was filled with bitterness. “I really don’t have the guts to try again.”
Xu Qing understood her. In the end, she could only say, “Think about it carefully. There are still good men in this world.”
“Yes,” Lei Wangshu said hesitantly.
For a moment, it fell silent.
At this moment, Xu Sizhi suddenly returned with a solemn expression.
“What happened?” Xu Qing had a bad feeling.
“Just now, there was news from Nine Lakes Town. Not long ago, someone went to Golden Jade Hall and caused a scene. He only ordered a few dishes and a few bottles of wine, then said that he wanted to see Mr. Bei Shu. This kind of thing has kept happening. No one paid attention and the matter was suppressed by the people secretly arranged to keep watch. However, this time, our buddies couldn’t defeat him at all and were all seriously injured. In the end, that person confirmed that Mr. Bei Shu wasn’t in Nine Lakes Town before leaving.” Xu Sizhi’s expression was a little solemn.
