When Wan Donglin saw her ssage, he actually laughed, an inexplicable joy bubbling up in his heart. Yet, he was also bemused. How could this woman be so stubborn? She has millions on her card, and her boutique is highly profitable. Even Xu Xiaoya knows to buy a house and a car, yet here she is, feeling so anxious and insecure. Is it all because she’s afraid Huang Xiaojue might be upset? Is it worth being so persistent for soone like Huang Xiaojue? What puzzles even more is that when Huang Xiaojue ca to press for their marriage, didn’t he present a wedding invitation or sothing similar? They’re about to get married, so why would she insist on renting a place on her own?
"Don’t you have a rich and handso boyfriend? Why don’t you live with him?"
"Ah..."
Yan Xixi sent only that, then hesitated, not knowing what more to say.
After a mont, the other party texted back, "What do you an by ’Ah’?"
"!!!"
"Does not having a house make you feel insecure?"
"Maybe."
"Can’t your rich and handso boyfriend give you a sense of security?"
She was at a loss for words. She realized she had never truly felt secure. There had been a brief sense of security when she and Xiaojue were discussing marriage. However, that changed. After being locked in Wan Donglin’s house for seven or eight days, and after Huang’s mother made her stance clear, she understood that this sense of security was just a mirage. She knew in her heart that Huang’s mother would always despise her. No matter what she did, she would never be able to satisfy her.
"I used to think that security was a morning hug before leaving for work, a tight handhold when crossing the street. But now, only money and keys in my pocket, and a fully charged phone when I go out can give a sense of security. Because when you entrust that pitiful sense of security to soone else, you’re bound to end up disappointed."
This ti, it was Wan Donglin’s turn to be taken aback.
He should have realized sooner. What she lacks most is a sense of security. He rembered when she first found out she was pregnant, how she had unilaterally paid for the abortion surgery at the hospital. That night, she had spasd endlessly in her sleep—a reaction only soone deeply traumatized would display.
He found himself unsure how to respond, and for a while, he sent no reply.
After a little while, another ssage ca.
"Tell , what does a woman have to do to make her mother-in-law one hundred percent satisfied?"
"Does the mother of your rich and handso boyfriend despise you? Why?"
She was reluctant to disclose the reason. It’s not like I can say that Huang’s mother is still fixated on my past, can I? She could only indignantly retort, "When a man has countless girlfriends, no one says anything; but when a woman has had an ex-boyfriend, why do people see her as tainted and inferior?"
He pondered, could Huang’s mother have caused trouble again? However, on second thought, he was deeply shocked—ex-boyfriend!!! Could my position be that high?
"Miss, you’ve had an ex-boyfriend?"
"Is that so strange?"
"Your rich and handso boyfriend’s mother despises you because of that? Is that why you want to rent your own place?"
"Ah, I just don’t want her to look down on . Therefore, I have to rent my own place before getting married."
"Why are you still marrying him then? His mother despises you so much, and he doesn’t even speak up for you. If you marry him, your life will be even harder."
"What do you know? I’m hiding it because I don’t want him to know. He’s busy with work. There’s no need for him to worry about such trivial matters."
"HEH HEH, Miss, I told you that you’re behaving like a servant, but you wouldn’t believe . You’re worried about him, but has he ever worried about your suffering? To put it bluntly, deep down, you’re just scared he’ll despise you too, aren’t you?"
She was taken aback. Was that truly the case?
