Upon hearing Su Yue's words, Fu Shen, who had been standing up, suddenly froze, his movements instantly halting.
Su Yue looked up and said, "You can't. What if your parents insist that you marry your aunt's niece? What will you do then?"
Fu Shen snapped out of his daze and looked directly at Su Yue. "I'll go back and tell them that I'm already married. They won't believe me."
Su Yue shook her head, a hint of worry in her eyes, "You've been away from home for several years now..."
Fu Shen: "Twelve years."
Su Yue's gaze grew increasingly deep. "Twelve years is such a long time. Do you think they feel sorry for you, their son who hasn't been home for so long, or do they just want to gain something from you?"
“Don’t blame me for being suspicious,” Su Yue bit her lower lip and continued, “I don’t think so. They’ve treated you differently since you were little. Now that you’re grown up and can earn money, they haven’t even asked for your opinion. They just put you in their house and call you their wife.”
“Once you go back, whether you agree or not, your family and the villagers will force you to live in the same room as your aunt and niece.”
Su Yue frowned slightly, "At that time, even if you have a hundred mouths, you won't be able to explain yourself. If, in order to protect your career, I divorce you..."
Before she could finish speaking, Fu Shen hurriedly interrupted Su Yue, his tone resolute and unwavering: "We cannot get a divorce."
Su Yue smiled reassuringly, "I was just saying, hypothetically."
The thought of divorcing Su Yue one day made Fu Shen's heart clench, and he felt an unbearable pain.
"What if none of these work?" Fu Shen's voice trembled slightly.
Su Yue looked at Fu Shen, a hint of emotion flashing in her eyes, then stared at him without saying a word.
Fu Shen placed his hands on Su Yue's shoulders and looked down into her eyes. "Yueyue, don't say those two words casually, not even if it's a lie."
Seeing Fu Shen's eyes redden, Su Yue's heart softened. She raised her hand and tugged at his cheek. "Okay, I won't say anymore, but..."
Fu Shen's expression tightened, and he interrupted Su Yue again, "But what?"
Su Yue's lips curled up slightly. "I want to go back with you."
Fu Shen frowned, "Your body..."
Su Yue clenched her fist and patted her arm with her other hand. "My body is fine. You forgot, I'm quite strong. I can carry you on my back. And don't worry about the baby in your belly. Going back isn't about carrying corn or chopping firewood. It's just about seeing your hometown. It's not a big problem."
Fu Shen had obviously remembered this as well, and awkwardly touched his nose. "Then let's go back together. I'll go buy train tickets now."
Upon hearing this, Su Yue breathed a sigh of relief. She had originally thought that she would have to use a lot of persuasion to get Fu Shen to agree.
She was really worried about him going back alone.
Perhaps due to his childhood, Fu Shen values family ties too much, and he also values friendships.
The price of valuing friendship is dying unjustly in a foreign land.
In this lifetime, she doesn't want to see him betrayed by family ties.
She had to go with him; she wanted to see what kind of people Fu Shen's family were.
Why didn't they come to see Fu Shen even once when he died in his past life?
Fu Shen saw Su Yue breathe a slight sigh of relief, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up. He chuckled and said, "I'm not an unreasonable person. You're right. If I go back alone, I really can't handle my family."
He knew his mother's temperament better than anyone else.
Su Yue took Fu Shen's arm and shook it gently, then pressed her face against his arm and said coquettishly, "My child and I will always be your family, and we will never betray your family."
Fu Shen was stunned, looking down at the top of Su Yue's head, seemingly lost in thought.
Su Yue didn't ask him for an answer. After lingering for a while, she let go of his hand.
With a smile, he said, "Go buy the tickets quickly."
Fu Shen raised his hand and patted Su Yue's head before striding away.
Su Yue smiled as she watched Fu Shen leave, thinking to herself how lucky she was to have married him, otherwise he would have suffered three kinds of "heartbreak".
Family, friendship, and love.
Friendships are over, and judging from his situation, family ties are probably pretty much broken down as well.
Love, you know.
