Chapter 960: Heartfelt Talk
Li Shuang quickly noticed the change in mood. Deep inside, she was surprised by the sudden change as her biggest fear started to haunt her again. There was a fear, a fear of being abandoned by the man in front of him. The fear appeared when the man left the Earth to Lukan. She was afraid that the man would find another woman to replace her. Out of all of his women, she was the only one with a daughter and one of the oldest too.The fear of being discarded by the man in front of her. That was the biggest fear that kept growing as time went by. She did her best to prevent that from happening to her. She worked hard, developing the empire with her best, everything to gain the man\'s love.
"I…." When the word came out of his mouth, his heart almost jumped out of her throat. She wanted to cover the man\'s lips with hers, but she did not have the courage. Li Shuang closed her eyes, waiting for the decision.
"I am sorry," When the man completed the words, her mind went blank. The time finally came, he was bored of her, and it was time to replace her. \'No, I can\'t accept this. I want to stay!\' The thoughts were mere thoughts as her lips sealed. She did not dare to say it.
In the following action, she felt the man\'s hair on her thigh. That surprised her, but everything was clear with the following words, "I am sorry for forcing myself on you. I am sorry for separating you from your husband. I am the most terrible man, am I? Separating a wife and a daughter from her husband and father."
Li Shuang opened her eyes and looked down. Her sight fell on the man\'s lush black hair. Even though she could not see his face, she could feel the distress in his voice. She completely misunderstood Tang Shaoyang. He did not plan to replace her, but he felt guilty for what he had done.
\'Isn\'t it too late for this?\' She could not help but ask herself, \'Maybe he can\'t bear the guilt anymore,\'
"Does this mean you will let me and Jiaying leave to find my husband?" Li Shuang asked, but then she felt a strong grip around her waist. Tang Shaoyang held her waist tightly and answered firmly, "No! I will not let you return to your husband."
Li Shuang rolled her eyes because the apology was pointless. Of course, she never planned to look for her husband in the first place. It was just an attempt from her to understand his intention behind the apology. She got the answer, she did not lose the man, and he still desired her. That was a huge relief for her.
"You bring this up, and it reminds me of my husband," Li Shuang let out a sigh, "Not in a good way, though."
She brushed his lush hair and sensed he was about to look up, but she held his head, "Just stay still and listen. Of course, if you have no interest in our past, I will not tell you." Our past in her mouth was her and her daughter, also her husband.
Tang Shaoyang laid his head on her lap comfortably, an indication he wanted to hear her story.
"We met because our family is close, and my father arranged the marriage between our family. I didn\'t have a problem with that at that time because I didn\'t have a boyfriend. He is ten years older than me, but the age gap does not really matter to me. We can still converse fine even though we don\'t have the same interest. We started seeing each other more often, and we agreed to get married, which was welcomed by our family."
"Everything went smoothly at first, at least for like half a year? We are in the honeymoon phase in the first six months, and I felt like I made the right decision at that time. I was expecting Jiaying three months after our marriage. It was until he was sent to another province for duty. Did I tell you that my husband is Major General?"
Tang Shaoyang responded with a shake. This was the first time he heard anything about her past aside from the fact that she owned a company or several companies.
"He was Major General and was sent to Beijing. We kept calling each other every night, but that only lasted for a month before we reduced the call to once in three days. I was okay with that, but things changed when he did not come when I delivered Jiaying. He was not on my side and only returned when Jiaying was three months old. Then he left me again for duty, and this time, I never heard his voice again unless I called him. He did not even bother to see or check on his daughter, and I started to get suspicious of him."
"At that point, I hired a professional to investigate my husband\'s whereabouts. I am afraid he was sent outside but did not say anything to me, not making me worried. I was still thinking positively about him until the people I hired discovered that he had another family in Beijing. That\'s right, he had a mistress and also a son there. For some reason, that mistress and son were more important than me, his wife, and also his daughter. After that, I cut contact with him and moved out, but I did not tell my family anything about that; stupid of me. At that time, I just wanted to hide that fact from my daughter. So, there\'s a need for you to feel sorry. I made the decision for myself, and I don\'t regret my decision."
"Why do rich people or people with status love to arrange a marriage for their kids?" Tang Shaoyang blurted out a question. Kang Xue also had the same experience, but she did not get to the point of marriage because of her work.
"I wonder, maybe to make a connection? My husband\'s family is quite influential with the officials, and that helps my father to expand his company." Li Shuang shrugged. She did not really care that much about the past.
Tang Shaoyang moved his head, looking at Li Shuang. He observed her eyes, and thanks to his absurdly high Sense, he could tell that Li Shuang did not lie to comfort him. She was telling the truth, and her expression also told him the same.
