When Lin Xiaowei was fired, she cried her eyes out.
"Madam, did I do something wrong?"
"You were wrong to try to have inappropriate thoughts about my husband. You didn't know your place," Song Ning said sternly.
Lin Xiaowei knew that it must have been Lian Sicheng who told Song Ning about her confession that day.
Once her scandal was exposed, she could no longer stay there.
She could only apologize, "I'm sorry, madam. I couldn't control my feelings, and your husband is just too outstanding. I want to remind you that there will only be more and more people like me who admire Mr. Lian in the future."
“Then I’ll kill one if one comes, and kill two if two come.” Song Ning said, her eyes filled with murderous intent.
No one can take Huo Beian away from her.
"Then I hope that your wish will come true, Madam. After all, you and Mr. Lian are about to reach the seven-year itch."
After Lin Xiaowei finished speaking with a smile, she took the termination agreement and left.
Song Ning scoffed, "What seven-year itch? I experienced that in my past life. It's utter nonsense."
...
However, to Song Ning's surprise, the children reacted strongly after Lin Xiaowei was dismissed.
"Mom, I want Teacher Lin to help me with my homework." Yi Ku pouted, her face full of reluctance.
"Mom, where did Teacher Lin go?" Sitian tugged at Song Ning's sleeve, tears welling up in her eyes.
Song Ning had no idea what kind of spell Lin Xiaowei had cast on the children to make them so obsessed with her.
"My darlings, can you tell Mommy why you like Teacher Lin so much?"
Yiku spoke first, her little face serious, "Mom, every time Teacher Lin helps us with our homework, she tells us a lot of interesting stories, and she never scolds us. Even if we make a mistake, she patiently explains it to us."
Sitian nodded eagerly, her eyes sparkling: "Yes, yes, Teacher Lin also leads us in games, and we learn knowledge through games. It's so much fun! Mom, we really miss her."
"My darlings, Mommy promises you, I will find you a teacher who is just as good as Teacher Lin, or even better, okay?" Song Ning tried to comfort the children.
However, the children were not convinced.
"Mom, we don't want any other teachers, we just want Teacher Lin. Please bring her back."
"Mom, please bring Teacher Lin back. We promise we'll behave from now on."
Song Ning had a headache; she hadn't expected the children to have such deep feelings for Lin Xiaowei. She sighed helplessly. She had originally hoped to leave a good impression of Teacher Lin in the children's hearts, but now it seemed that even that good impression couldn't be maintained.
"Children, Teacher Lin wanted to steal your father away, so your mother fired her. Do you understand? She's like the demon in Journey to the West, trying to steal your father and eat him."
"What? Teacher Lin actually wants to take Dad away? No way, Dad belongs to Mom." The eldest son seemed to understand a little.
"Then Teacher Lin is a bad woman; she even wanted to eat Daddy." The daughter seemed to understand as well.
After Song Ning said that, the children stopped making a fuss and looking for Teacher Lin.
Having learned her lesson, Song Ning chose a male tutor when selecting a new one. She thought that a boy might not develop inappropriate feelings for Lian Sicheng like Lin Xiaowei had.
My new tutor is a handsome, young, and sunny senior who just graduated from one of the top 6 universities in China.
The children were initially somewhat resistant, after all, they still cared about Lin Xiaowei.
But he took the initiative to talk to the children about their favorite cartoons and games, and even performed a few interesting magic tricks for them.
Gradually, the children's attention was drawn to him, and they began to cooperate. Song Ning watched from the side, feeling a slight sense of relief.
The tutoring controversy has been temporarily resolved.
This incident also deepened the relationship between the two, after all, Song Ning could see that Huo Beian could withstand the test.
Twenty years passed quickly. Their relationship remained as strong as ever.
We've always weathered storms together, supporting each other through thick and thin.
Just like in the book in my previous life. Remembering the bitter past and appreciating the present, both children lived up to expectations and were admitted to their ideal universities one after another.
Then... another 30 years passed by at a leisurely pace.
Both of them were already old and gray, with wrinkled faces, hunched backs, and hoarse voices. They had long since achieved financial freedom and entered retirement.
Huo Beian became the richest man in China and the most influential philanthropist. Song Ning, on the other hand, received the title of lifelong artist.
Their children have long since grown up and started their own families. The two of them have basically nothing to do anymore. Every morning after breakfast, they hold hands and go for a walk in the nearby park.
In the park, the trees are shady and the flowers are in full bloom. The elderly gather in twos and threes, some practicing Tai Chi and others chatting.
Song Ning and Huo Beian walked slowly along the path.
As the two were walking, a young couple approached from the opposite direction, holding hands and beaming with happiness.
Looking at them, Song Ning said to Huo Beian, "Honey, look at them, they look just like us when we were young."
Huo Beian smiled and said, "Yes, but we are much happier than them. We have been together for so many years and have gone through so many ups and downs. We are true love."
"Husband, this is the second time we've held hands and grown old together. Do you regret that I'm still the only woman in your life?" Song Ning said with emotion.
Huo Beian put his arm around her waist and laughed, "I don't regret it, my wife. I only regret not meeting you sooner. I hope I can love you in the next life too."
