“So, how much of what you like is real? I can’t really understand the concept of liking someone at first sight.” Chu He suddenly turned around and asked him, “Do you know me? Do you know what kind of person I am and what kind of past I have?”
“Do you like that man?”
Chu He shook her head. “No.”
Li Xiaofeng was confused. “Then why are you marrying him?! Wouldn’t it be unfair for you to marry a man you don’t like, for the sake of your child? Is it worth it?”
“Unfair?” Chu He said pointedly, “I gave birth to the child, so I have to bear the responsibility. Everyone has someone they cherish in their heart. For that person, even if I had to go to the ends of the earth, I will have no regrets.”
Li Xiaofeng sood firmly by his opinion although he did not know what to think. He added, “A marriage without love will never be a happy one!”
“You can nurture feelings.” Chu He paused for a moment before continuing, “But my son has only one childhood. There’s no chance to start over in life!”
Li Xiaofeng maintained his stance. “A marriage built on sacrificing one’s happiness is not good for the child.”
Chu He suddenly stopped talking and turned around, sizing him up calmly. After a long while, she suddenly asked, “Have you never had anyone that you want to protect, at all cost?”
Li Xiaofeng was stunned and could not reply for a long time.
“No? That’s too bad.” Chu He did not speak further.
Different paths lead to different end points. Li Xiaofeng was different from her. Baby Chu was her most important family member. Li Xiaofeng lived in an era of peace. He might have grown up without having to worry about food and clothing, then finished college successfully, and graduated with a stable job. But she was different. She was born in a war-torn country.
Hunger, war, homelessness, and uncertainties. She had practically fled to a foreign country. In order to survive, she had struggled at death’s door. She had exhausted almost all her energy just to keep herself alive. It wasn’t even on the cards to start talking about living a decent life.
She was a mercenary and later joined the Interpol. Any child from a normal family would not be willing to serve in a mercenary organization for so long. All of this was for survival.
As for Baby Chu, he was the family that the heavens had bestowed upon her after she escaped death. She didn’t have a choice, but she was grateful that Baby Chu had chosen her and become her child. From the time he was young, he did not have a father. Baby Chu had suffered the rejection and humiliation of many children of the same age. She knew all of this, but she was unable to interfere with the children and could only do her best to protect Baby Chu, keeping him safe by her side.
Now, Baby Chu had a father and acknowledged him. Initially, it was not that she did not reject Gu Jinglian, but this rejection saddened Baby Chu. She didn’t want him to be sad. Moreover, marrying Gu Jinglian was not considered a grievance.
Marriage did not mean that they had to treat each other with respect like other couples. They could still live their own lives and play their roles well when needed. She didn’t know if she was doing the right thing, but this was what Baby Chu wanted, so it was the right thing by her.
This was her stance and she would not waver..
