Mom Xia Ruoxin mumbled softly to herself. It felt as though she had traveled back in time to when she was four years old. Its just that she was no longer four. She had grown up. She was ruined and in pain.

Yes, Im your mother. Sleep, my child. Everything will be better once you woke up. Your path will be easier when you awake. Song Wan covered her mouth with her hand. The first was always the most painful. There was an instant when she gave up. She did not want them to go through the divorce and be separated.

In the end, she stopped herself and pushed the thought away.

She could not be selfish to her family, which was why she had to be selfish to her.

Xia Ruoxin stared at the doorway dully after Song Wan left. She sat for the entire morning and afternoon. When she stood up, she walked out like a wandering spirit. It was dark and foggy outside, cutting off much of the warmth from the sunlight. It illustrated her emotions at that moment welldark and without a ray of light.

She turned around and looked at the home that she had occupied only for a few months. This place held her happiness, her pain, and her memories.

Very soon, she would have to leave this place.

She walked forward and shifted her legs step by step, without a destination. She just wanted to leave that place. She had not wanted to survive in that lonely place because she felt so suffocated that she couldnt breathe.

So many things happened unexpectedly in this world. A person met someone that the person did not expect or not want to meet. The two women met each others eyes.

One looked uneasy, with her eyes avoiding the otherguilty, embarrassed, and ashamed. Her head was lowered as though she was afraid of meeting the dull pair of eyes. She was more afraid of being blamed by others.

The other womans mouth opened and closed a few times. Finally, the corner of her lips fell helplessly. It had nothing to do with the other woman. Her problem was her own.

She loved him. He hated her.

Li Manni did not have to behave in this manner because she had never hated her; neither did she blame her. Did she? He had made it very clear to her that he would fall in love with anyone, with Xia Yixuan or Li Manni. The one person he would not fall in love with was Xia Ruoxin.

Not in this lifetime.

This lifetime was simply too long. She did not know if she could stay alive for so long.

She walked closer, and Li Manni got anxious.

Only a person who had done wrong towards another would be nervous. No matter how Li Manni consoled herself, it was useless for she was guilty.

Are you well? She looked at the pale-looking woman who was already standing beside her. Compared to her recent glow, the other party looked gloomy.

She realized she had asked a stupid question. How could she be fine?

Im fine. Xia Ruoxin smiled faintly, but she did not lift her eyelashes. She opened her eyes with some effort. It was only a few days ago since they met.

However, for her, it seemed like years had passed.

I Sorry I was only Li Manni started to stutter as she kept fidgeting with her fingers. Why was she feeling stressed when she stood in front of this woman? She hadnt said anything, blame, or make things difficult for her. Neither had she called her a shameless homewrecker.
