Zhou Hui's married life is actually very good; Wang Ming loves and spoils her!
However, she was a spendthrift, and no matter how much money Wang Ming had, it wasn't enough for her to squander it all.
Later, Wang Ming's investment failed, the company's operation became very difficult, and they had to tighten their belts.
Zhou Hui's quality of life plummeted.
It's estimated that Wang Ming's debts will be difficult to pay off.
She could no longer enjoy a high-quality life, nor could she afford luxury goods. She also had unpayable debts and the possibility that Wang Ming might go bankrupt. Of course, she couldn't bear it and didn't want to face it.
Perhaps she didn't want to suffer.
That must be why Zhou Hui decided to return to China.
The naive Nangong Jin knew nothing about it.
Fortunately, he still had his senses and didn't rush headlong into things.
Fortunately, he still had his principles and didn't rush into a relationship with Zhou Hui.
It was precisely because Nangong Jin pitied her that she was able to continue to exploit his kindness.
Soon, Wang Ming returned as well, and let the couple confront each other.
...
Qin Yun and Nangong Jin continued their conversation, but he didn't mention Zhou Hui and Wang Ming at all.
Master Zhi said, "Don't alert the enemy."
It was only after Nangong Jin saw it with his own eyes that he believed in the true nature of the woman he had loved and cared about before.
Suddenly, Qin Yun tentatively asked, "If Zhou Hui gets divorced and wants to start over with you, would you be with her?"
Pfft... Nangong Jin laughed, "Why are there so many 'what ifs'?"
"What if she's serious? What if it really is true? What if it actually comes true?"
Nangong Jin did not respond immediately, but instead picked up her wine glass and drank some wine.
"To be honest, I've thought about it before. As long as she's willing, doesn't care about my past with Gu Changge, doesn't care that I have a child, I'll give up everything to be with her, even if I become a heinous sinner. Now that you've asked, she's back, and I've had a few meals with her, but I still have no clue what to do."
Qin Yun's smile deepened, and he teased, "You don't want to be with her anymore? You don't love her anymore?"
"I don't know! When we met again, the feeling of regret wasn't as strong. The feeling of acting recklessly before wasn't as strong either. Maybe it's because I'm getting older, and having children makes me think a lot. Perhaps I want to consider my son's feelings, and I've passed the stage of acting impulsively."
Qin Yun ate his food without saying a word.
After thinking for a moment, Nangong Jin continued.
“A few days ago, I had a big fight with my mom and Gu Changge because of Zhou Hui. My mom kicked me out of the house, my dad ignored me, and I didn’t have to take care of the kids. I thought I was really free, that I could do whatever I wanted, that I would be happy, that I could go back to the way things were before, but I always felt like something was missing, like there was a void in my heart.”
"..."
"Tell me, am I incredibly contradictory? Am I incredibly dramatic?"
Qin Yun laughed again, "I think you really are being dramatic!"
Nangong Jin picked up the wine glass again and drank the wine.
Then she said, "Now, I'm not happy either, and I don't know why. Anyway, people can't go back to the way they were before; everything has changed. All my past happiness is ruined."
Do you want to be with Zhou Hui or not?
"Please stop asking these hypothetical questions, okay?"
Is it really that hard to answer whether you want to or not?
"I'm not young anymore, let's not talk about those assumptions."
"Then you have to face it, right?"
"What if Zhou Hui never thought that way? Would she still be interested in me?"
"Anything is possible in the future."
"I'm not going to talk to you anymore, it's all nonsense. In fact, I don't know either. My son definitely doesn't like Zhou Hui, he only has eyes for his mother, and so do my parents."
"You can't have everything; you always have to give up something."
"I can't abandon my son."
"According to you, in your heart, Zhou Hui is not as important as your son."
"Maybe."
"Actually, you already know the answer in your heart, you just don't want to face it. You chose your son. In the days since Zhou Hui left you, your son has lived in your heart and become an indispensable part of you. Or perhaps, your feelings for her have faded, leaving only sympathy and pity. If you think about it this way, what's so difficult about it?"
"Cheers, let's not talk about those troublesome things anymore."
"Are you still upset? What's there to be upset about?"
Nangong Jin stopped talking, picked up his wine glass, and downed it in one gulp.
Qin Yun: "I think you're just making trouble for yourself!"
Nangong Jin did not respond; she continued eating and drinking.
******
The next morning, Nangong Jin called her mother.
His mother still wouldn't answer his calls.
He had no choice but to call Gu Changge.
Did my son go to school today?
"No."
Does he still have a fever?
"You have a slight fever."
Are you going for an IV drip today?
"Take the medicine and it will be fine."
"You went to work?"
"Um!"
"I understand, thank you!"
"Anything else to say? If not, hang up. I need to go check on the patients."
"It's alright, you can go ahead with your work."
Gu Changge immediately hung up the phone.
Throughout the phone call, her voice was very calm, and she only answered Nangong Jin's questions one by one without saying anything extra.
Nangong Jin also sensed that Gu Changge was unusually cold.
It seemed she didn't want to answer his call either.
He would never call her unless he absolutely had to!
...
Before noon, Zhou Hui called Nangong Jin.
