Chapter 122: Love is voluntary, no regrets

"What feelings can I have for someone else's husband?" Qin Shuang got angry when she said this. "Lu Jiaping, do you think that in your mind, there is no one else I want except you?"

When she was in love with him and had that kind of relationship, it was voluntary and she has no regrets.

Now that he is a married man, she will never cross the line.

"Shuang'er, you know that's not what I meant. I meant that all the suffering you've endured over the years was caused by me, and I should compensate you." Lu Jiaping's feet were slightly lame. He walked step by step to Qin Shuang and looked at her affectionately. "I still have feelings for you. I think about you every day. The thing I regret most in my life is not marrying you. I should have waited for you. Without you, I will never be happy in this life."

Countless times in the middle of the night, he would think of the happy times he spent with her in the Hemp Village.

In his heart, no one can replace her.

"You're offering me your wife and daughter's happiness as compensation. Do you think I'll accept it?" Qin Shuang took a few steps back and said solemnly, "I advise you to give up this idea. Even if you get divorced, I won't marry you. I don't want to have anything to do with you again in my life."

"Lu Jiaping, whether you're happy or not is your business, but if I marry you, I won't be happy for the rest of my life. I'll live in guilt and self-blame. I won't be that kind of person, and I don't want to be that kind of person. For the rest of my life, I just want to make money. Only money can bring me enough sense of security."

She is used to this kind of life.

If she were to become someone's wife, she would never be as free as she is now.

Men are unreliable, even Lu Jiaping is unreliable.

"Shuang'er, I know this is a bit sudden for you. You don't have to rush to reply to me. Think about it carefully. I will wait for you." Lu Jiaping understood Qin Shuang's feelings. She was so strong-willed and self-respecting. She would never be like other women who desperately wanted to return to him. Looking at the woman he had been searching for for many years, he couldn't help but reach out and hug her. "Shuang'er, I beg you not to leave me, never leave me!"

It is this kind of personality that makes him obsessed.

It made him remember it for so many years.

"Mr. Lu, I have said everything I want to say. If you keep forcing me, I will make sure you can't find me." Qin Shuang also knew Lu Jiaping. She pushed him away without hesitation and turned away. What happened in the past was over forever and could never be repeated. She would not do anything that would cause trouble.

The fourth floor of the production workshop just happened to face the fourth floor of the office building. Chen Guilan stood in front of the window and saw the interaction between Qin Shuang and Lu Jiaping clearly. She didn't dare to ask Qin Shuang, so she went home and told Su Jiaojiao: "Mr. Lu still has feelings for your Aunt Qin. It depends on how your Aunt Qin handles this matter."

"Aunt Qin won't agree." Su Jiaojiao said without thinking, "If Mr. Lu wants to marry Aunt Qin, he has to get divorced first. Aunt Qin will never let him get divorced, and she will definitely not marry him just because he gets divorced."

In his previous life, Lu Jiaping also wanted to divorce Wu Xinyue, but the divorce was unsuccessful. Mr. and Mrs. Lu did not allow it, saying that no man in their Lu family could divorce.

Qin Shuang also had no intention of marrying Lu Jiaping.

At least before she got into trouble, she and Lu Jiaping didn't have any quarrels. Instead, it was Lu Jiaping who always wanted to compensate her.

"That time, your Aunt Qin said that as long as the Lu family treated her child well, she would be satisfied." Chen Guilan talked to Qin Shuang about everything and knew her best. She couldn't help but mention Qin Shuang's relationship status to Su Jiaojiao. "Last time, I heard that Section Chief Park from Fenghua Textile Factory called your Aunt Qin. They talked for a long time. Section Chief Park said one sentence and the translator translated it again. It sounded awkward, but I could tell that Section Chief Park had a good impression of your Aunt Qin."

"Is this really true?" This was the first time Su Jiaojiao heard of it.

However, she believed that Park Minxi's feelings for Qin Shuang were only at the stage of liking him and had not developed further, otherwise she would not have been unaware of this in her previous life.

"Your Aunt Qin also knows what Section Chief Park is thinking. She said that the two of them don't speak the same language and have different customs and habits, so they are destined not to get along." Chen Guilan just listened to the gossip. She also felt that there was nothing good about marrying a foreigner. They couldn't even eat together. She heard that foreigners all eat sashimi, which was scary.

"Aunt Qin never drags her feet. She's always got her own ideas, and they're always sound." Su Jiaojiao sighed as she recalled the past. "It's just that she works too hard, never letting herself have any free time, and doesn't take care of her body at all."

In his previous life, Qin Shuang got into trouble because of drunkenness.

She would never forget the grief she felt that night... She didn't know if she could change the course of events in this lifetime, but there were still several years before Qin Shuang's accident, so she didn't need to worry about it now.

It’s just that her mother is sick, so she has to take precautions in advance.

Thinking of this, Su Jiaojiao said to Chen Guilan, "Mom, I'm off the day after tomorrow, May Day. I'll accompany you to the hospital for a physical examination!"

In her previous life, Chen Guilan was diagnosed with stomach cancer three years later.

It is important to take precautions before problems arise.

It's mainly a routine physical examination, and nothing can be found. A gastroscopy is needed.

"I'm in good health, why should I get checked?" Chen Guilan was stunned for a moment and waved her hand. "No, no, the factory doesn't have a May Day holiday. We're busy!"

She can eat and sleep.

I don't feel unwell anywhere and don't want to go to the hospital.

"No, you have to listen to me on this matter. You must go for the check-up." Su Jiaojiao's attitude was very firm, but she still gave in. "Even if you don't go this time, you have to go next week when I have a day off. From now on, you have to have a check-up twice a year. You absolutely cannot delay it. Mom, this is just a check-up, not a sign that you are in poor health. We must have this awareness."

"Okay, okay, let's go after May Day!" Chen Guilan had to give in. "I really don't have time for May Day. Everyone else isn't taking a break, so neither am I. Besides, didn't Chen Xiaohong ask you to go look at the house?"

"It won't take just one day to look at a house, so it won't interfere with our physical examination." Su Jiaojiao knew the garment factory was indeed busy, so she made an agreement with Chen Guilan, "It's settled then. We'll go in mid-May, when I have some free time."

"Okay, then let's go again in half a month!" Chen Guilan agreed.

Su Jiaojiao and Chen Xiaohong made an appointment to go house-viewing at 8 a.m. on May Day.

Early in the morning, Chen Xiaohong's boyfriend, Wang Jian, arrived. He looked to be about 27 or 28 years old, and looked very energetic. He was wearing a black leather jacket, which was very cool. He rode a brand new Jialing motorcycle and rumbled to a stop at the door. He said to Chen Xiaohong, "They will go to work at 9 o'clock. Let's go over and watch them first."

When getting on the bus, Su Jiaojiao was a little hesitant, she wanted to sit in the back.

Chen Xiaohong insisted that she sit in the middle, saying with a smile, "He rides fast, and I'm afraid you'll be thrown off if you sit in the back. I'll feel more at ease if you sit between us."
