"You know, why is it that heaven can’t be a little more lenient with such a good kid like Xiaxia? She’s only in her teens, and yet her life is already halfway over. It’s just so unfair. Why do good people have such a short lifespan, while bad people can continue to live freely?" Lin ngyao leaned her head on Xu Ke’s shoulder, asking while sobbing softly.
"Bad people won’t have a good end. Those who caused Xiaxia to end up like this, none of them will have good consequences. I’ve already punished them, haven’t you forgotten?" Xu Ke said while stroking Lin ngyao’s long, straight black hair.
"I haven’t forgotten, but this is different. They’re paying for the mistakes they made, but what did Xiaxia do wrong? She did nothing to deserve so much hardship. This is unfair to her, do you understand what I an?" Lin ngyao said, with tear stains all over her face, grabbing Xu Ke’s clothes.
"I understand what you an, and I also know that heaven is unfair to her. But if you look at it from another angle, maybe heaven thinks she’s had too hard a ti in the human world, so it wants her to go up there and have a good life sooner? Tomorrow I’ll go to the company to take care of so things, and how about our family goes on a trip? Last ti we didn’t have enough fun, so this ti let’s enjoy it?" Xu Ke suggested.
"For the past ten-odd years, Xiaxia wasn’t raised with us; we didn’t even know she existed in this world, so we couldn’t help with her sufferings. Even now, there aren’t many things we can do to help Xiaxia. The only thing we can do now is to ensure the latter half of her life is happy and joyful, right?"
Xu Ke lifted Lin ngyao’s head from his embrace and reached out to wipe the tears from her face.
"But aren’t you preparing to establish sothing in the US recently? If you go with us now, won’t it delay your work?" Lin ngyao felt sowhat tempted by Xu Ke’s suggestion, but her rationality wouldn’t allow her to be so capricious. She rembered how hard Xu Ke had worked for this plan in recent days and didn’t want all his efforts to go to waste.
"This kind of thing isn’t achieved overnight. It needs to be taken slowly and requires so observation. I’ve already sent people from the marketing departnt to the US to collect data, so I’m not too busy right now. Taking both of you out for a trip is more than feasible." Xu Ke explained.
"Really? You’re not just trying to placate , are you?" Lin ngyao asked while looking at Xu Ke’s face with so uncertainty.
"No, I’m telling the truth." Xu Ke said with so sadness in his heart as he looked into Lin ngyao’s eyes full of disbelief. On reflection, he really had been too busy these days and hadn’t spent a proper ti with Lin ngyao.
anwhile, Lin ngyao, all by herself, had not only been remotely controlling the company in Luocheng but also going to the hospital to take care of Yu Xia. Though there were caregivers in the hospital, Lin ngyao wasn’t assured, and after taking care of Yu Xia, she would still co to the company to see him, bringing him als, essentially running herself ragged. Xu Ke felt sowhat guilty for neglecting Lin ngyao.
"It’s been really hard on you these days. You seem to have lost so weight." Xu Ke said while touching Lin ngyao’s slightly thin face.
Lin ngyao shook her head, her eyes sparkling like stars, "Just hearing you say that makes it all worthwhile. I’m not afraid of tiring out or struggling; I just fear you wouldn’t know, wouldn’t understand, or even think it’s sothing I should do. Luckily, you’re not like that. I’m increasingly grateful that I married you. If it were soone else, I don’t know what kind of ss I’d be in now."
"I heard so news the other day. A friend of mine whom I used to get along with quite well got divorced. She and her husband t through matchmaking, but they seed to be deeply in love then and lived through a sweet period. Yet, later on, conflicts arose, her mother-in-law turned into a different person, and her once-loving husband cheated during her pregnancy, even justifying it by saying, ’You can’t serve , so I’ll let soone else do it. Your status as the main wife won’t change.’ That excuse just makes sick." Lin ngyao said in a low voice.
"What’s worse is that the man doted on the mistress, bringing her to nurous events, which emboldened her to confront my friend, disturbing her peace during pregnancy. The child didn’t survive long after a premature birth. Although they got divorced, she was criticized and almost left with nothing. Her own family didn’t support her either; she had nothing left."
Xu Ke could sense that while Lin ngyao was recounting these events, her mood was anything but good, perhaps even depressing to a terrifying degree.
Thinking of Lin ngyao’s mindset, which had only recently improved, Xu Ke quickly interrupted her train of thought, "But this situation isn’t all bad. It allowed her to see what kind of people her family and husband truly are. Though she has nothing now, she’s free from those people, and a happy life isn’t far away. Without those people dragging her down, her future will only be more splendid."
"You can’t always focus on the negative side of things; you have to see the positive side as well. And rest assured, I’ll never let you experience what she went through. All you need to do is enjoy life, enjoy love, and bask in the feeling of being surrounded by happiness." Xu Ke held Lin ngyao tighter so she could feel the warmth of his skin.
"Have I been working overti a lot lately, leaving you less ti, which lowers your sense of security and makes you start overthinking?" After sensing the body in his arms relax, Xu Ke asked, and right after he posed the question, Lin ngyao’s softened body began to tense again, even more rigid than before.
Lin ngyao initially wanted to deny it, but listening to Xu Ke’s heartbeat, she gave up on that option, choosing instead to honestly face her inner feelings, nodding slightly with embarrassnt.
"It’s just seeing too little of you every day makes anxious."
"That’s sothing I didn’t consider thoroughly. In the future, I’ll make sure to allocate more ti to be with you, and not get so caught up in work." Xu Ke sighed and said.
"There’s no need for that. Just let visit you a bit more. You have your own career to pursue, and I don’t want to hold you back." Lin ngyao said, tilting her head to plant a kiss on Xu Ke’s chin.
"I know you worry about , afraid I’m emotionally unstable. But in fact, after treatnt, I’ve gotten much better, and I’ve found ways to alleviate my mood swings. I’m fine; don’t put off your career because of ."
Looking into Lin ngyao’s eyes, Xu Ke saw no trace of reluctance, only understanding and consideration.
