This attraction of perfect compatibility is terrifying. The overwhelming love pulls her forward. Even when she was with Xu Huaiyuan, she wasn't this infatuated. To be honest, her relationship with her scumbag ex-husband also started with a moment of infatuation. It was Xu Huaiyuan's initial clumsy pursuit that moved her.
They developed feelings for each other over time.
But arguments and conflicts were inevitable, and love became less pure.
Jiang Tong didn't know what to say.
But being with Zhou Yuansheng feels different. Maybe it's because we've both reached a certain age and are at our most mature, which is why we get along so comfortably?
Jiang Tong loves Zhou Yuansheng's "just right" approach; many things don't need to be explicitly stated, yet the two can tacitly understand each other's meaning.
Moreover, she discovers something new every day they spend together; he's like a treasure waiting to be discovered.
The scumbag ex-husband is more like a child who never grows up. He not only doesn't grow at all, but he seems to regress. Jiang Tong's tolerance only leads to his increasing selfishness, and he is no longer patient enough to change for her.
Jiang Tong only realized later that trash is trash. Even if it pretends to be a human, it is still trash in the end, and it will be exposed sooner or later.
All her previous tolerance and expectations that he could change were wrong.
Putting everything else aside, Zhou Yuansheng's character is impeccable, and he would never do something like being a scumbag ex-husband.
Jiang Tong felt exhausted just thinking about her scumbag ex-husband and had just said in a bad mood that she didn't want to talk about it anymore, but then she noticed that Zhou Yuansheng's eyes were shining as he waited for her to say more.
She couldn't help but blush. "Actually, there's nothing special about it. It's just that he fell in love with me in high school and started pursuing me. Then, at some point, just like you and Fia, I fell in love instantly, and we got together. After graduation, we didn't get into the same university, so we started a long-distance relationship. After graduation, we got married."
When Jiang Tong talked about this past event, she didn't seem sad at all.
He finished speaking very calmly.
Zhou Yuansheng hugged her tenderly, and Jiang Tong hugged him back tenderly.
After hugging, the two felt a little confused. Instead of taking a nap early in the morning, they started having a heart-to-heart talk, rambling on and on about all sorts of random things.
Jiang Tong finally couldn't help but burst out laughing, leaning against Zhou Yuansheng and grinning foolishly, "I think we're being so dramatic... It's really not a big deal."
Zhou Yuansheng chuckled softly, "Indeed, to use Jiaqi's words, we're both a bit silly."
Day after day.
Jiang Tong was overjoyed. Although their conversation was a bit rambling, they both understood each other's feelings and were truly determined to be together.
The three kids woke up sometime ago and were playing Jenga, peeking through the door frame.
Peipei pouted and muttered softly, "Dad is so shameless! He kidnapped Mom first thing in the morning! He actually abandoned the three of us, and the two of them had to hug each other by themselves! That's too much!"
Hanhan watched with bright eyes as her mommy and new daddy hugged each other from behind. The two looked very sweet, whispering to each other.
Zhou Jiaqi, with his little bottom sticking out, said in a childish, hoarse voice, "I'm so afraid they'll fight, as long as Daddy and Aunt Jiang don't argue..."
Peipei immediately looked down at him, "What are you afraid of? Dad loves my mom to death, and my mom loves him too. They won't fight."
Hanhan nodded and said seriously, "That's right, Zhou Jiaqi, you shouldn't cry anymore. As long as you don't want to, no one can take you away!"
Little Zhou Jiaqi's eyes immediately welled up with tears. He finally nodded with a hum, feeling incredibly wronged. He was very happy now, but also very scared of having a strange mother. Although he used to want a mother, he didn't want one anymore.
Because it was Mommy who didn't want him first.
And the position of his mother, which was originally vacant, has now been occupied by a figure.
That was his Aunt Jiang.
She carried him out from under the dark tree, and after meeting her, he was no longer lonely every day.
Because he has somewhere to go when he's lonely.
When Hanhan and Peipei saw his pitiful look, they stopped watching the commotion and sat down in front of him, watching him start to cry again.
The two sisters had never seen a friend cry so much.
Hanhan reached out and hugged Zhou Jiaqi, patted him, wiped away his tears, and comforted him in a crisp voice, "Don't cry, don't cry. We can pinky swear. I promise I won't abandon you. If anyone bullies you in the future, I will protect you."
Peipei turned her head away and said disdainfully, "You idiot, what's there to cry about? When my ex-dad wanted to take me away, I only cried for one day, but you've been crying for two days! I told you I wouldn't abandon you, how could your daddy let you go? And your grandparents, great-grandparents, so many people love you."
Even a fool could see that with so many people protecting him, what was there to be afraid of?
Zhou Jiaqi belatedly realized, and with puffy eyes, said in a childish voice, "Oh, right!"
Peipei put her hands on her hips and said smugly, "That's right! Stupid! You can't even think of this!"
Zhou Jiaqi immediately pouted and retorted, "You're the stupid one!"
The two kids were about to start arguing.
Jiang Tong and Zhou Yuansheng were chatting when they noticed a rustling sound behind them.
They both turned around at the same time.
I found the three kids had woken up sometime earlier, and they were standing barefoot on the ground, wearing cute little fleece pajamas, arguing about something.
Jiang Tong suddenly jumped up from Zhou Yuansheng's arms. She had never been used to being affectionate in front of the child, and her face turned bright red.
She tidied her messy hair and rushed over to break up the fight.
