"Linlang, your eldest brother and I are actually married through an alliance, you know that, right?"
Ye Linlang nodded.
She knows.
She also knew that if it weren't for her accident, Xie Xuning would have followed in the footsteps of his two brothers and married another woman.
"I'm quite lucky. Yun Ning and I fell in love after getting married. Yun Ning treats me very well, and I'm actually very happy. Not long after I gave birth to Xie Xinghe, I also got pregnant once. Due to some reasons, the child died in the womb at six months old. It was a very beautiful girl. I nursed back to health for a while, and when I was ready to get pregnant, it just so happened that having a second child was not allowed. Your eldest brother and I are both public servants, and we can't take the lead in violating this rule."
Ye Linlang didn't understand why Lu Jiuan suddenly said this. She just looked at Lu Jiuan quietly, acting as a qualified listener without saying a word.
"When Xiao Chengzi was born, I was really happy. I always felt like my daughter was back."
Lu Jiuan took a sip of wine and thought to himself, I wonder if Xiaochengzi is used to living in her new home?
But with Xiao Chengzi's background, it is obviously impossible for her to stay in the Xie family!
It is indeed cruel to separate Xiao Chengzi and Xie Jining.
Even though the two are not related by blood, they have had a father-daughter relationship for several years.
"Linlang, you know what? Sometimes I wonder, if I hadn't married Xie Yunning back then, who would I marry now? Would my life be different? But in fact, if I were given another chance to choose, I would still want to marry Xie Yunning and have a son like Xie Xinghe."
Ye Linlang thought that it was probably because the relationship between Xie Yuning and Lu Jiuan was not the kind of passionate and everlasting one.
Instead, it flows like a gurgling brook.
"Linlang." Lu Jiuan raised his glass and gently clinked it with Ye Linlang's. "After you and Xuning get married, go live somewhere else."
Lu Jiuan's words were like a bolt from the blue, shocking Ye Linlang so much that she felt a little dazed.
She had never expected that Lu Jiuan would say this.
"Is it because you are worried that grandma will affect the relationship between me and Xuning?"
Lu Jiuan knew that Ye Linlang was a perceptive girl, so he didn't deliberately avoid the question. Instead, he answered frankly, "Yes. Linlang, you are still young. Love is a matter between two people, but marriage is not. Marriage means that you will have to deal with different people in the marriage. No matter how much love there is, it will eventually fade away."
"Sister-in-law." Ye Linlang looked at Lu Jiuan like this, feeling inexplicably distressed. "Do you want to go out with me to relax?"
Lu Jiuan suddenly laughed.
"Linlang, in this situation, how can I have time to relax?"
Lu Jiuan was silent for a while.
After a long pause, he slowly began to speak, "This world is too harsh on women. Once a woman gets married, she is no longer herself, but a wife, mother, daughter-in-law, or daughter."
Ye Linlang truly empathized with what Lu Jiuan said.
She reached out and held Lu Jiuan's hand, whispering softly, "Sister-in-law, you can also be yourself. If you don't want to do something, don't do it. If you don't want to see someone's face, don't see it. I know you may say that I say this because I am still young, but I really want to tell you that in a person's life, you will always encounter such and such people, and no one is a saint who can be perfect. Life is only a few decades long, and I will not punish myself for it. In this world, I am the most important."
