Life was so short. Why should she be so hard on herself?

“So what if I’m a mother of three children?” Zhou Shuang coldly smirked and pressed on. “Did the law state that I can’t date someone else and start a new relationship?”

“What?” Lu Yinan expressed disbelief as though she had just cracked a ridiculous joke. “A new relationship? Dating?”

Zhou Shuang sensed that he was ridiculing her. She coldly snapped, “So what? Even if you have children, other women are still interested in you. Why can’t the same apply to me?”

Lu Yinan gazed down at this prideful woman and her eyes were bright with tears. He didn’t have the heart to mock her anymore.

Wiping off the smile on his face, he gazed solemnly at her. “Zhou Shuang, be honest. Did I treat you badly all these years?”

Zhou Shuang managed a bitter smile. “We did it for the children. You have no obligation to be nice to me. Neither do I.”

“I thought we... have grown closer,” Lu Yinan blurted and then paused, as though he had difficulty talking. He reduced his voice to a whisper. “Something should have sprouted between us. Or was it just wishful thinking on my part?”

His eyes seemed to bore a hole right through Zhou Shuang as he earnestly waited for her reply.

Zhou Shuang’s hands, which were under the blanket, balled tightly into fists. Her fingernails pierced to her palms.

She clammed up.

Lu Yinan fixed his eyes on Zhou Shuang’s face and asked, “Do you really want to... leave? Is this your wish for the past four years?”

“Yes,” Zhou Shuang replied determinedly and raised her head to meet Lu Yinan’s eyes.

Lu Yinan’s heart felt as if she had just punched him hard. “Zhou Shuang, what is the reason?” asked Lu Yinan.

It puzzled Zhou Shuang. “Why did you ask why?”

Lu Yinan asked, “Why have you changed?”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” muttered Zhou Shuang as she shook her head. She purposely avoided his gaze.

Lu Yinan furrowed his eyebrows. “Is there anything that can’t be said? Do you have to be like Wen Xuxu?”

He pressed on immediately. “I’m not Yan Rusheng.”

He was calm and composed.

“I’ve never thought of being like anyone else. And besides...” Zhou Shuang raised her head, and her expression was stoic. “I’ve never yearned for a love like theirs,” said Zhou Shuang with a poignant smile.

She continued with a smile. “This society is teeming with temptations and choices. The love between childhood sweethearts is just a fairytale. How many pairs truly exist?”

“After you gave birth,” Lu Yinan blurted suddenly.

His sudden statement took Zhou Shuang aback. She peered at him and she looked rather bewildered.

Lu Yinan pressed on. “Your attitude towards me changed after you gave birth.”

Zhou Shuang bit her lips and calmly replied, “We have always been like this.”

She bent and peered at Jiaojiao.

Jiaojiao was staring at both of them.

Zhou Shuang smiled at her. “Jiaojiao, are you tired? Close your eyes and sleep.”

She gently patted Jiaojiao’s chest as she said that.
