However, Ye Zhi was still particularly curious about one thing. He looked at Wan Ge intently and then asked in confusion, "Why? Why did you still choose me in this life?"
In her past life, she wasn't necessarily happy. Having been given a second chance, she should have the right to pursue what she truly loves, or to pursue the person who loves her.
But she still chose herself. Why?
It also helps me make up for my regrets; otherwise, with my memories only now being acquired, I would only have more regrets.
Wan Ge smiled and said, "You were also very good to me in my past life, and your respect and loyalty to me are admirable. Even though we regret that we didn't fall in love, those two points I just mentioned are something that many people cannot do."
Yes, in the story, the original owner and Ye Zhi were not in love, but they were loyal to each other, and there was no emotional infidelity. Although there was no emotional turmoil, they seriously regarded each other as partners.
Moreover, Ye Zhi has never mistreated her, always giving his wife the best. They respect and remain loyal to each other; even if they were reborn, even if it wasn't her and him, even if it were the original owner of this body, she would still choose him.
“But this time, we’ve fallen in love.” Ye Zhi moved closer to her and kissed her.
…
After his grandfather passed away, Ye Zhi returned to live with Mr. Ye, along with his wife and children.
One afternoon, Ye Zhi looked at Mr. Ye, who was sunbathing in the garden, and slowly walked towards him.
Seeing that her son, Mr. Ye, was still somewhat reserved, she felt much better after thinking about how her son had treated her over the years.
Ye Zhi sat beside him, keeping him company as they basked in the winter sun.
The warm sunlight shone on him, and Mr. Ye felt a little sleepy, so he leaned against Ye Zhi and fell asleep.
Ye Zhi glanced at his father. He didn't know when, but his father's hair had turned gray and his face was covered with more and more wrinkles.
Ye Zhi didn't tell Wan Ge or Mr. Ye that he later discovered the reason for his parents' divorce when he was investigating what his father had done to him.
Ye Zhicai then learned that the divorce wasn't solely due to his father. He also discovered that his mother had been unfaithful during their marriage.
It was actually hard to accept at first, because in his mind, his mother was always very kind and gentle to him, and it was hard to believe that such a mother would have an extramarital affair.
Then I thought back to how busy I always was, yet Wan Ge still resolutely chose herself again. Perhaps Wan Ge is right; loyalty is something many people find difficult to achieve.
Ye Zhi later asked his father if he had ever thought about marrying someone else, or if he had ever met someone who made his heart flutter again.
Mr. Ye shook his head. Apart from worrying that his son would be bullied, he explained that people don't necessarily have to get married.
Ye Zhi simply assumed that his father had some kind of psychological trauma.
…
"Grandpa, Dad, I'm home." Ye Chen, now a high school student, returned home to find no one there. Finally, he saw his father and grandfather in the garden.
Mom went to make another guest appearance, and it's only at these times that Dad gets to spend a lot of time with Grandpa.
At this moment, the father and son no longer basked in the sun, but sat in the pavilion under the flower vines playing chess.

①You said you hoped I would never have any regrets again, thank you for making up for all my regrets.
②When you don't love someone, you will choose to be loyal; when you love someone, you will be even less likely to see anyone else.
③You are the only one my heart desires.
— Ye Zhi
