After My Death, My Wife Finally Regretted

We met at eighteen, married at twenty-two. At twenty-five, her childhood sweetheart returned, and I proposed divorce.

Someone asked if I was willing to let go. I thought about it and said, &#...

Chapter 18 You...don't try to kill yourself (2/2)

She quickly shook her head.

Hearing her stammering from nervousness, I couldn't help but laugh and say, "Don't be nervous, I'm not going to eat you. I just came to check on the coffin."

"sorry……"

She immediately lowered her head, her hands unconsciously clutching her skirt.

To be honest, I've never seen such a shy girl before, and I can't understand why she's left here alone to watch over the store.

Normally, a girl with this kind of personality would probably live in fear every day in a place like this.

Thinking of this, I subconsciously asked, "Where are your family members?"

"Why don't you have your family come?"

"They're gone, and I'm all alone here."

Her voice was very soft, but when she said those words, I could clearly feel that her voice was choked with emotion.

She meant... she's gone.

It's not 'not here'.

The two words sound similar, but they have completely different meanings.

It turns out she was alone, just like me.

And I seem to be a bit luckier than her.

Although I was abandoned by the Xu family and by the world, to be honest, I still have people who love me; it's just that I pushed them away.

She took a deep breath, as if summoning immense courage, then looked at me with a face full of apology and said, "I'm sorry, I... I will try my best to control myself."

"I'm just a little nervous."

"I...I rarely talk to people."

"So many bosses, so many bosses have stopped buying coffins from me because of this..."

Hearing this, I smiled and said, "It's alright."

"Just pick one that suits you, and I can pay for it today if it's okay, and use it a month from now."

At this point, I thought for a moment and looked at her again, asking, "By the way, do you offer any other services here?"

"Other services?" She paused for a moment, then suddenly took a few steps back, her grip on her skirt tightening noticeably. She looked at me nervously before cautiously saying, "Boss... I only sell coffins, no other services."

"you……"

"If you are..."

Seeing her like this, I felt both amused and exasperated, and quickly interrupted her, saying, "Don't misunderstand, what I meant was..."

Do you handle body collection here?

"Help me collect the body?"

She froze again, her eyes widening in surprise, giving her an indescribably adorable appearance.

Fearing she might overthink it, I continued, "It's just that I'm going to die in a month. Can you help me collect my body in a month?"

"I don't have any requests, just put me in a coffin and bury me."

"I will buy a cemetery plot when the time comes, so I won't have to worry about not having a place to be buried."

"Boss, may I ask your name?" To my surprise, this time she didn't ask me why, but asked this question. Then I saw her take out a notepad and pen from her body, and look at me, as if she was waiting to take notes.

Without asking further questions, I replied, "Xu Ruo."

“My name is… my name is Yan Qiaoqiao.”

As she took notes, she said, "I...I am a volunteer."

"Are you sick? Don't worry, medical care is very advanced now. If you'd like, I can help you apply for assistance."

"You...you mustn't try to kill yourself!"

"As long as you're alive, there's hope!"
