"Friends, stop talking, Ye Qiu is live streaming, hurry and join the giveaway!"
With that one sentence, all the people who were just criticizing Song Qing disappeared.
She couldn’t help but sarcastically remark, "I thought they were all high-minded people, but a giveaway gets them so excited, really no sense."
Her words made her seem petty, and others beca even more curious about what kind of giveaway this Ye Qiu was hosting to make those people so excited.
As a result, Song Qing’s livestream viewers gradually dwindled, making her heart ache with anger.
Fang Bingwen felt joy seeing this, then quickly switched to Ye Qiu’s livestream next door. He saw her surrounded by children, her smile particularly bright and radiant, and he couldn’t help but stare.
"I promised you all I would co to see the children today. They’ve all said they really appreciate the gifts from you cute ones." She cheerfully greeted the children beside her, "Co on, say hello to everyone."
From the background, Fang Bingwen realized she was at an orphanage. He always knew she was continuously doing good deeds, especially with children, contributing a lot to orphanages.
This made him think back to when he hadn’t divorced her yet, and she frequently talked about how adorable children were, hoping theirs would resemble him, saying he was handso and smart, and wishing for a daughter since there was already a brother.
But unfortunately, because of his ridiculous selfishness, he completely deprived her of the right to have children. Thinking back now, he truly was a bastard.
Seeing the children smiling brightly on his phone, he beca dazed, wondering if she would have already been pregnant and given birth to their child if he hadn’t undergone a vasectomy.
Would having a child have prevented him from betraying and letting her go so easily? Perhaps he would have gradually realized he truly loved her, and they could have lived happily ever after.
However, the world’s greatest pity is there’s no "if." Once you make a mistake, it’s done. Did he really not realize his actions were despicable then?
No, he knew. He even started to feel pain for Ye Qiu’s sorrow, but earlier years of loving Song Qing deceived him, making him move from dawn into a dark abyss.
After Fang Xu finished his howork, he saw his father silently staring at his phone without changing positions, realizing his father was thinking about Aunt Ye.
Despite his young age, he pursed his lips, having grown a year older, understood many things previously unclear after his mother’s departure.
Reality wasn’t like the television, where stepmothers weren’t necessarily bad, and birth mothers weren’t always fully devoted to their children.
At least not in his family. Everything was centered around him and Dad when Aunt Ye was there, and despite his nurous difficulties, she chose to forgive him and arranged the best path for his future.
It was unfortunate that he was foolish then, not only ungrateful but also hurt Aunt Ye’s heart. Now thinking back, who else in the world had the luck to et such a good stepmother?
It’s a pity such a wonderful person was driven away by him and Dad. He couldn’t forgive himself for how he accused her of mistreatnt back then.
She was so good that no one believed him, it saddened her to lose hope.
Fang Xu looked at his father’s back with a complex expression, then resolutely walked out the door; he knew where that orphanage was.
"Xiao Xu?" Ye Qiu looked surprised; she never expected to et him there.
Fang Xu didn’t look directly at her, precisely because he didn’t dare and felt ashad; he lowered his head and spoke softly, "I’m sorry."
"What?"
"I’m sorry." The second apology was finally louder.
Ye Qiu looked at him for a mont before speaking, "You should go ho; it’s getting dark, and your parents will worry."
"I’m sorry." He moved closer to Ye Qiu, "Aunt Ye, I know I was wrong; I’m sorry to you. Can you forgive ?"
"I have nothing to do with you and your dad anymore; there’s nothing to forgive." Ye Qiu chuckled lightly, showing no hate, not even a hint of darkness.
But precisely this made Fang Xu’s heart tighten; he was still just a child, no matter how mature, he didn’t know how to react when reality differed from his expectation.
In his heart, Aunt Ye wasn’t like this; the way she looked at him felt like he was just an unimportant stranger, how could it be? Wasn’t she the most accommodating to him, loving Dad the most? Why had she changed?
"You should go back; I’m leaving as well." Ye Qiu wasn’t inclined to deal with him, but by now, Fang Bingwen had followed the coordinates and arrived. He looked at Ye Qiu with longing in his eyes.
He opened his mouth, finding it difficult to speak, "Ye Qiu..."
Ye Qiu simply glanced at him, her eyes clear, and then ignored him, like she truly didn’t recognize him.
Fang Bingwen finally t her and hurried forward to grab her hand, "Can I say a few words to you?"
Ye Qiu withdrew her hand, her tone calm, "We have no relation anymore."
He nearly pleaded, "Just a few words."
Ye Qiu chuckled, "I just unintentionally learned so news; I heard Song Qing left you again?"
Looking into her eyes, Fang Bingwen self-mockingly answered "Yes."
"Now that she’s gone, you co looking for ? How do you see ? Soone at your beck and call? Loving you to the point of obsession? From before, yes, but not anymore." Ye Qiu shook her head.
"I didn’t an that," Fang Bingwen smiled bitterly, "I know I wronged you; I just want to properly apologize."
"No need; it’s aningless. I don’t want to hear it," Ye Qiu replied, getting ready to board the car.
"I love you, I realize I love you!" He finally uttered the words.
Ye Qiu paused, her lips curving into a mocking smile, "No, you don’t love ; you’ve just gotten used to enjoying what I did for you. Once you realized being loved is the most comfortable state, that’s when you regret, right? Now Song Qing has left, so you settle for less and co looking for ?"
Embarrassed, Fang Bingwen looked troubled and filled with sha, "I didn’t an that."
"But that’s how it seems to . Fang Bingwen, you disgust . I’ve made up my mind to let go, could you please let go? After leaving you, I finally found out how beautiful the world is; love isn’t everything. Thank you for showing that." She smiled, her release making Fang Bingwen increasingly uneasy.
"Also, don’t let your son look for anymore; it’s pointless. I won’t accept insincere apologies either." She intentionally said as she got into her car.
