The Darling of Heaven Owns a Rip-off Shop-Chapter 176 - 50: Prestigious Family
All things have a place.
Dong Xiao is taking stock of the items brought back from this world.
Meanwhile, Kong Hou is squatting in front of the Heavenly Mechanism Mirror, watching the figures of Tang Wanwan and her companions.
"Boss, it seems like Tang Wanwan is still reluctant to part with you." Kong Hou observed Tang Wanwan’s final glance skyward.
"The lifespan of humans is too short. Sometimes forgetting is better than remembering for a lifetime." Tianmiao said softly.
"Is that so?" Kong Hou seemed half-understanding.
"Human emotions are very complex. When you understand, you’ll realize." Dong Xiao added.
"Do you understand them?" Kong Hou turned to Dong Xiao, puzzled.
"Not really, just know that their emotions are very complex." Dong Xiao shook his head.
Tianmiao listened to the conversation between the phoenix and the dragon, remaining silent.
"So, Boss means that forgetting some things is actually happier than remembering them? Will they be happy?" Kong Hou turned to look at the Heavenly Mechanism Mirror again.
"Perhaps?" Dong Xiao interjected, never quite certain.
Tianmiao’s finger lightly tapped, causing the scenes in the Heavenly Mechanism Mirror to rapidly shift.
Tang Wanwan and Luo Siqing became friends. Luo Siqing also successfully married Qin Zifeng.
After marriage, the relationship between Luo Siqing and Qin Zifeng was good, but Luo Siqing gradually couldn’t keep up with Qin Zifeng’s pace. The Qin Family is a top-tier family in this world. As Qin Zifeng’s wife, she had to attend many social gatherings. Before and after marriage, she had to learn many things, including developing good taste. This made Luo Siqing feel increasingly exhausted, both mentally and physically.
Tang Wanwan, as a good friend, constantly encouraged and supported her. However, the smile on Luo Siqing’s face became less frequent, and she grew more and more depressed. She proposed a divorce, but Qin Zifeng didn’t agree, trying hard to retain her. Luo Siqing clearly told Qin Zifeng that this was not the life she wanted, and she was unhappy. She was just an ordinary person with no great ambitions. She wanted to travel with her loved one, enjoy food and entertainment, watch movies together, snuggle in the quilt to watch dramas in winter, and play games together.
But none of this could happen. Every day she faced reminders and arrangements from her assistant, what to do, what to wear, what topics to avoid in certain occasions. Table manners to observe during meals, posture while walking...
She was too tired. Growing more anxious and depressed. When Qin Zifeng saw her needing medication to sleep one time, he finally agreed to divorce, and both embraced each other, crying painfully. The next day, they divorced resolutely.
Three months after the divorce, when Qin Zifeng saw Luo Siqing again, it was as if he saw the clean, heart-stirring smile of the girl from long ago. He finally understood that he loved her, she loved him too, but they weren’t suited for each other.
Kong Hou watched, baffled: "Why would they separate? If they like each other, why not stay together!"
Dong Xiao nodded: "That’s why I said I don’t understand human emotions, too many concerns. If you really like someone, be with them, even if it means death."
Tianmiao stood up, murmured: "That’s because you two aren’t human."
As a dragon and a phoenix, your emotions are simple, pure, intense, and single-minded... To be liked by you would be truly a happy affair.
If you like someone, just be with them.
What seems like a simple sentence, a straightforward matter, is something many humans can’t achieve.
"Yes, if you like someone, be with them. When you find someone you like, work hard to be with them." Tianmiao said with a smile and went upstairs, "In the next world, Kong Hou, you will light the lamp."
