When Love Turns the Tables: The Mysterious Husband's Chase-Chapter 618: Making It Up to You for a Lifetime (Part 8)

Tang Yanqi listened to these words, feeling a stab in her heart, yet Sheng Jiayu’s face was unusually calm as she spoke.

"Some time ago, he asked for a divorce, saying he really didn’t love me, but I tried to struggle a bit longer. Later, I found out it was because that woman was pregnant. That woman came looking for me with her belly big, and in a fit of anger, I pushed her. She fell to the ground, just in time for him to see it. I knew then we could never explain things clearly again."

"..."

Besides a string of ellipsis, Tang Yanqi really couldn’t find any symbol to describe her current feelings.

"And then it was yesterday, I saw him taking that woman for a prenatal check-up."

Tang Yanqi opened her mouth to offer some comfort, but nothing came out. Sheng Jiayu shrugged, seemingly relaxed, and said, "I’m okay now. I agreed to meet him at the civil affairs office on Monday, and after the divorce, I might go away for a while and then come back."

Tang Yanqi pressed her lips together: "I’ll go with you on Monday."

Sheng Jiayu smiled: "No need, I can handle this small matter."

Tang Yanqi always thought the scariest thing in this world was when a person who always laughs cries, and a person who never laughs smiles.

Looking at Sheng Jiayu, she felt a twinge of sadness in her heart.

After finishing lunch, Sheng Jiayu left, and for the entire afternoon, Tang Yanqi was immersed in that smile Sheng Jiayu gave her before leaving, and in her words.

"Yanxi, happiness isn’t easy, cherish it while you can."

When Sheng Jianan returned home after handling his affairs, he found Su Weiyi painting in his studio, while Tang Yanqi lay on the lounge chair, covered with a blanket, holding a book but clearly in a daze.

Sheng Jianan squatted down beside her, but she didn’t react.

He reached out and took the book from her hands, and finally, Tang Yanqi responded.

"Hmm? You’re back?"

"What are you thinking about?"

"Happiness isn’t easy, cherish it while you can?"

"..."

Tang Yanqi propped herself up to sit, but Sheng Jianan already tossed aside the book and picked her up completely.

The weight of a pregnant woman isn’t the same as usual, but Sheng Jianan didn’t seem to have much difficulty carrying her, bringing her back to the bedroom and placing her on the bed, kneeling on one knee by the bedside.

Tang Yanqi met his eyes, silent for a few seconds, then suddenly reached out to wrap her arms around Sheng Jianan’s neck, resting her head on his shoulder.

"I finished my sister’s story and felt really sorry for her, also thought of something else: even between us, there were countless chances we could’ve gone our separate ways, yet we’re still together, which isn’t easy."

Tang Yanqi spoke the truth. Thinking back to the beginning, she had already decided to give up loving him, yet somehow became his wife. Since then, she resisted opening her heart to him, but he fell for her anyway.

Then there were her misunderstandings about him, his ignorance of how to love someone, his first love, his mother, and everything else that came one after another.

Tang Yanqi considered that there were so many possibilities where they might break up and go their own ways.

But in the end, after being apart for three years, they were still together.

As they walked this path, it didn’t seem much at the time, but looking back, it was truly thrilling.

Sheng Jianan chuckled lightly, "For two people to be together, it’s not that hard, it just takes one of them going crazy."

"Hmm?"
