"Ningning, I really don't want to."
She emphasized.
"Dad, what about you?" Su Ning didn't answer Su Xincheng's question, but looked at Xu Sheng instead.
"To want to, or not to want to!"
She asked loudly, and Xu Sheng looked up to meet her eyes. Surprisingly, this time she didn't run away, "I want to try!"
His answer stunned Su Xincheng, and made Su Ning and Xu Bai purse their lips.
"I've lost too much, I want to hold onto what I have left."
Xu Sheng spoke again, turning his head and looking at Su Xincheng.
Su Xincheng's eyes suddenly reddened. She and Su Ning had sworn that they didn't want to, but over the years, she had never forgotten her feelings for Xu Sheng.
She remembered him saying he wanted a son and a daughter, and then they would grow old together.
She remembered him saying he would love her for a lifetime.
Those sweet words, even after more than twenty years, still kept popping up in Su Xincheng's dreams.
She wanted to, but didn't dare!
"I don't want to!"
Su Xincheng stood up, her voice trembling with tears in her eyes as she looked at Su Ning and the others, "I can't be with him anymore."
"I will remember those pains for the rest of my life!"
The pain was excruciating; how could she forget it!
Xu Sheng knew the answer, and he remained silent.
If Su Ning doesn't force him to be honest today, he doesn't want to reveal his true feelings.
Actually, this is quite good. I have a daughter and a son, and I have fulfilled my past dreams.
"Mm." Su Ning responded, watching Su Xincheng put down her chopsticks and turn to go upstairs, then called her back.
"Mom, there's something I don't know if you're aware of?"
"Twenty years ago, he abandoned us, but also protected your lifelong peace."
Xu Sheng was wrong; he loved Su Xincheng in the wrong way.
He used the cruelest method to protect Su Xincheng, but made Su Xincheng hate him for the rest of her life.
“I used to hate him too.” Su Ning’s voice was calm. “I hated him for not wanting you, for taking your brother away, for ignoring us all these years.”
"But when I woke up from my surgical coma and saw you all around me, I felt really good."
“Su Xincheng, twenty years ago, you almost spent your whole life in there. He traded himself with the Jiang family.”
"I don't know if you've noticed this!"
"Is it not there, or have you just been too afraid to discover it?"
"You once abandoned yourself for love of him, married Qiao Zhentian, thinking that you could forget all the pain of the past."
“But doing that is pointless,” Su Ning continued calmly. “Once the dream is shattered, you still have to return to reality.”
"The best course of action is for you to figure out whether you want to try again while you're still alive, or to pretend you know nothing and stay by my side for the rest of your life!"
Su Xincheng focused on taking care of her and Xu Bai, which Su Ning didn't like very much.
Everyone has their own life; she and Xu Bai have theirs, and Su Xincheng should have hers too.
"You've done many wrong things to me, and you feel guilty, but I don't like this kind of doubly compensated approach." Su Ning turned to look at Su Xincheng, who was standing at the top of the stairs. "Think carefully about how you really want to live!"
"Be direct! Make a decisive move! It's best for everyone!"
If Su Xincheng has truly made up her mind, then she should distance herself from Xu Sheng and go on to find her own happiness, instead of lingering in each other's worlds.
Moving around in each other's lives will only lead to both of you living in pain.
When you go back to love, it's not about whether your heart is soft or not, but about whether this person and your future life together are what you want!
