Love You for the Rest of My Life-Chapter 1470: The Iron Tree Has Bloomed

At this moment, his heart was absolutely drowning in guilt. Damn it!

Should he just get the hell out of here, hustle off, and kneel on a cactus to repent first?

That bastard from before must not have been him!

After finishing a cigarette, Nangong Jin did a deep self-reflection before trudging out of the bathroom, feeling inexplicably annoyed. Out of nowhere, he just felt down.

It was because the bastard he used to be actually had those ridiculous thoughts. Damn it, what was wrong with him.

He sulkily walked out of the bathroom, raised his eyes, and saw Di Jinxuan curled up obediently on the bed, hugging the blanket and sleeping so soundly.

Looking at her expression—tired yet content, with an extra hint of sweetness—our Nangong Jin felt even worse. What kind of heavy guilt was this pounding in his chest like crazy?

He sneakily got into bed, stretched out his arms, and pulled her tightly into his embrace, but the guilt in his heart didn’t ease up at all.

For the first time, he felt like, damn, he’d really let his wife down.

Why?

Because the woman he loved so much now was the same one he’d treated with such casual disregard before. It was like a sudden, brutal slap to his own face.

It was painfully ironic, like you once swaggered around saying, "I don’t care whether you’re around in this lifetime or not,"

Only to end up now desperately clinging to her like your life depended on it, loving her so deeply it consumed you, liking her so much it was borderline obsessive. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

If this wasn’t a slap in the face, then what was?

So yeah, Nangong Jin’s heart? Drowning in guilt, thinking and rethinking, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

The more he thought about it, the more guilty he felt. Especially holding Di Jinxuan’s warm, tender little body in his arms.

Compared to him, she felt so small, delicate, and soft, making the guilt hit him even harder.

He thought about all the ups and downs they’d been through, thought about how just moments ago, despite the pain showing in her tightly knit brows, she handed herself over to him without hesitation.

He thought about how she’d just begun to experience life and had already been wrapped up in doing it with him twice, so exhausted she fell asleep, yet she hadn’t complained to him even once.

Thinking about all of this, Nangong Jin couldn’t help but fall into deep contemplation...

Nangong Jin was deeply immersed in his thoughts and intense self-reflection.

Meanwhile, Gu Qibao and Di Xiaxia were living it up. The two of them were hanging out at Dihai Lantian, enjoying their midday tea time as moms-to-be, absolutely reveling in it.

Of course, accompanying them were their two model husbands, Di Mingzhe and Di Mingjue, who couldn’t bear to be a step away from their wives.

While Gu Qibao and Di Xiaxia were basking in their moments as expectant mothers, the husbands naturally indulged in their roles as expectant fathers.

At this moment, the men were playing chess, while Gu Qibao and Di Xiaxia huddled together, gossiping in hushed tones.

They were also casually scrolling through gossip on their phones. After a while, Gu Qibao opened up her chat app to invite Nangong Ran for lunch, and that’s when she noticed her friend’s updated social feed.

Turns out, it was Li Hui who had posted the update. She immediately tapped on it and saw Li Hui had posted: "The iron tree at my house has finally bloomed! Tears of joy streaming down my face, ahhhh! Thank the heavens, thank my ancestors."

Gu Qibao burst into a laugh and said to Di Xiaxia, "Aunt Hui is hilarious; an iron tree blooms, and she even thanks her ancestors for it."

Di Xiaxia raised her eyebrows and couldn’t help but laugh too. "Huh? An iron tree blooming? That’s really quite rare though."

So Di Xiaxia also grabbed her phone and tapped in to take a look, and when she saw the comments under Li Hui’s post, she couldn’t stop giggling.

Fangfangfangfangfang: "You guys have an iron tree at home? How come I didn’t know about this? Share some pics, please. But more importantly, what does an iron tree blooming have to do with your ancestors? Seriously, someone explain this to me, I need science—what on earth is going on here?!"
