If We Cannot Grow Old Together

Proofread by Zhou Zhijie

Li Qiaosheng turns back and sits down in the sofa, folding his long legs with a look of satisfaction and a flirtatious look in his eyes. “If you miss me, I can stay here each night.”

“…”

Trying hard to be calm, Mu Ziyou takes a lot of efforts to send him off. She breathes a sigh of relief when she finally closes the door.

Anything wrong with him?

Now she is taking advantage of this man to revenge on Xia Wanyan. Why does she have an illusion of being flirted instead?

When she tells this series of strange things to Qin Yang on the phone, he remains silent for quite a while before he suddenly asks her, “Xiaoyou, you will not forgive him for what he did to you before just because he treats you kindly now, will you?”

“… Of course not.” But the tone of Mu Ziyou at the moment is obviously not as firm as before. Besides she hesitates for a second before she answers his question.

Qin Yang is aware of something, but he does not dispute with her too much about this problem. Before hanging up, he just says, “OK, Pudding and I are waiting for you to come back home as soon as possible.”

Thinking of Pudding— her adorable baby, Mu Ziyou becomes more determined. She can tolerate the hurt in her relationship with Li Qiaosheng, but absolutely won’t allow her baby to be hurt in the same way!

She and Li Qiaosheng live in this newly decorated house since their marriage, which in fact is the place where the Li family have been living all these years.

The living area is ample and there exist many memories here.

Mu Ziyou was sent to this home at the age of ten. At that time, she didn’t know that her mother had contracted that kind of disease, which was the reason why she entrusted Qiaosheng’s father to take care of Mu Ziyou.

Qiaosheng is six years older than she is. But he has never got to know that she is actually the little girl he met in that Japanese earthquake.

Mu Ziyou recognized him at the first sight. On the contrary, Li Qiaosheng didn’t recognize her probably because the girl changed dramatically when she grew up. Due to this, she hasn’t had the courage to share this memory with Li Qiaosheng which has been buried deeply in the bottom of her heart together with her love for him .

Until Qiaosheng’s father found out Mu’s love for Qiaosheng, she couldn’t hide it any longer and finally told his father how deeply she loved Qiaosheng frankly.

She was sixteen at that time.

Qiaosheng’s father was very optimistic about her and Qiaosheng’s relationship and promised to let his son marry her at the age of 18. However, just in these two years, no one could expect that so many changes have taken place.

Xia Wanyan knew clearly how much Mu Ziyou loved Qiaosheng, yet she still fell in love with him at first sight. More painfully, Qiaosheng even declared that he would marry no one but Xia Wanyan!

He also said that he had always viewed her as a sister lodging at his home, with no feelings of affection at all.

Fortunately, Uncle Li does not like Xia Wanyan, who is so effeminate and always beats around the bush while talking. He insists that Mu Ziyou be his daughter-in-law.

Although he is the head of the family, her marriage to Qiaosheng is opposed by both Qiaosheng himself and his mother. Because of it, the atmosphere at home for a long time remains very unpleasant to such a degree that she is almost about to give up.

But Uncle Li is very determined and luckily he married her to Qiaosheng as she wished.

But neither he nor she knows that this is the real beginning of her painful life…

“Is that Wanyan? This is Mu Ziyou. Sorry to bother you, but I have to because Qiaosheng refuses to sign the divorce agreement and traps me in his villa now. Can you give me some help?”

“What do you mean? Qiaosheng has…” Xia Wanyan is really so irritated that she almost jumps up from her seat. She answers with no hesitation, “I’m coming over right now!”Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

While hanging up the phone, Mu Ziyou curves up her lips slightly. Then she dials Li Qiaosheng’s number, “Mr. Li, what about having a date tonight?”
