"Yao Zhen, we’re not young anymore. During the years I was away, I went through many things, life and death, and I finally understood that the one thing I want to cherish most in this life is you. So I came back, hoping you could give me a chance to take care of you, to spend the remaining time by your side."

Han Siqu spoke sincerely, leaving Su Yaogeng somewhat dazed.

She and Han Siqu had grown up together like childhood sweethearts, but later, there were too many deep misunderstandings between them. If she made any real mistake in this life, it was that she shouldn’t have interfered in Han Siqu’s life, forcefully twisting his life’s direction, pushing him onto a path completely contrary to before, and causing him to become a man who lived in drunken stupor and spent his days in the alleys of pleasure.

So all along, she had a subconscious tolerance for Han Siqu, far exceeding her tolerance for others.

She, because of her congenital defect, never thought about spending her remaining years with someone else, yet she also never thought she could grow old with Han Siqu. To her, that was such a ridiculous joke!

In fact, during these years, she had already arranged everything in the Capital City, and once things at Jing’er’s place settled, she would go over to help take care of Xiao Xue. After all, isn’t this how life is supposed to be?

She never expected he would come back, and upon his return, say such things to her.

For a moment, she really didn’t know how to respond.

"What if I don’t give you a chance?" Su Yaogeng never thought about divorcing, nor did she think about marrying someone else, but regardless of her thoughts, she never considered Han Siqu as an option.

"Then I’ll just stick with you anyway. You’re still my wife, after all. Wherever you are, that’s where I’ll be. If one day, you find someone better suited to spend your remaining years with, I won’t stand in your way." Reflecting on his life, other than Su Yaogeng, Han Siqu truly found no other meaning. He had drifted through so many years without happiness, so he certainly wouldn’t remain in the Capital City living those meaningless days. The only person he wanted to cherish and care for was Su Yaogeng, so no matter what happens in the future, even if he must stick by her side, that’s what he’ll do.

Unless she finds her own happiness, then he will let her go.

But as long as she hasn’t found that intention, he will never let go.

Su Yaogeng felt her temples aching from his words, what did he mean by saying wherever she was, he would be there too? She didn’t want to see him at all!

Even suggesting that he wouldn’t stop her if she found someone else, at her age, when she already had a granddaughter, the thought was ridiculous for her, though he dared imagine it! She couldn’t do it! It’s not about wanting to stay true to one person, it’s just that she never had the intention. In reality, even after Xue’er performed the surgery and healed her, making her no different from a regular person, the events of that year still left her heart broken, and she long lost the inclination to accept anyone new.

In the course of one’s life, as long as she’s happy, why care about having a man?

Han Siqu was speaking beautifully, but it was only because he didn’t know what kind of person she used to be. Wasn’t Han Si Que the same back then, making full promises, yet after learning the truth, he still abandoned her?
