Xiang Zhilan was determined to correct this and would force Xiao Kui to change starting tomorrow, otherwise Luo Che might cling to hope because of it.
After thinking about it, Xiang Zhilan turned over and put her hand under the pillow.
I opened my eyes, feeling a bit sleepy, and looked at the pitch blackness in front of me, my mind wandering back to what happened at the supermarket tonight.
I never expected to run into Shen Muzhi on my first day back in China, especially with his fiancée by my side.
That Miss Bai looked completely different from both Su Yan and her; in fact, they bore no resemblance whatsoever.
Her appearance was like a lotus emerging from the water, not as bright and dazzling as hers, but very beautiful, a natural beauty that needed no artifice.
She and Shen Muzhi are quite a good match; she looks rather petite and delicate standing next to him.
Shen Muzhi must really like this Miss Bai. She's already wearing the engagement ring, and he hates going to the supermarket, yet he's actually accompanying her.
She remembered when Shen Muzhi moved here and lived across from her, their relationship had improved somewhat, and they would sometimes go to that supermarket together. She quite enjoyed shopping at the supermarket, and loved picking out and comparing all sorts of goods, but he always remained silent.
Although he didn't seem impatient, she could tell he didn't like crowded and noisy places.
He even went shopping on his own today; that Miss Bai must have had a big influence on him.
Moreover, since Miss Bai doesn't resemble anyone, she probably doesn't mean she's a substitute, which is fine.
They'll probably get married soon after their engagement.
She's getting on in years and will probably have another child soon.
Xiang Zhilan felt relieved at the thought that he and Miss Bai would have a child, but at the same time, she also felt a little awkward and uneasy.
He felt relieved because this way he wouldn't try to take Hengheng and Xiaokui away, but it felt awkward...
Xiang Zhilan raised her hand to cover her chest and rubbed it to relieve the stuffy feeling. She felt awkward probably because Hengheng and Xiaokui were going to have a younger brother and sister. Although she had given them the most love, it could not replace a father's love.
Xiao Kui is alright; being a girl, she's more clingy to him, and she likes Luo Che so much.
But Hengheng is different. Although he and Xiaokui are twins, he is more mature than Xiaokui. He once watched a cartoon and asked Big Head Son, "If Big Head Son has a Small Head Dad, then who is his dad?"
Xiang Zhilan still remembers the feeling of distress she had when she heard that question.
She never intended to hide it from the children; she thought she could explain it to them when they were older.
But she didn't expect Hengheng's question to come so suddenly. She hadn't even thought of how to explain it. She didn't know if such a young child would understand, so she could only say that her father had separated from them.
Hengheng pressed her for an explanation of why they had broken up, but she had forgotten how she had vaguely brushed things off at the time.
Xiang Zhilan sighed softly as she thought of this. Luo Che was absolutely right when he said that children always need a father.
The City of Dusk will soon have other children, and if this continues, the fatherly love they receive will be limited.
She should consider finding them a new father, but that person cannot be Luo Che.
Accepting his one-sided feelings and one-sided devotion without giving him an equal return would be too unfair to him. Luo Che is such a good man; she doesn't deserve this from him.
Xiang Zhilan felt troubled by these things, so she tossed and turned, pulled the blanket over herself, and closed her eyes to sleep.
