4715 Never Too Late to Love (122)
She had wanted to send Yueyao overseas not because she thought that the quality of education overseas was good, but because she wanted her to be more independent and see more of the world.
However, Mu Yazhe was so unwilling to do so, to the extent that when she insisted, he started to look into transferring his key businesses overseas.
Yun Shishi did not expect him to to be so attached to their daughter. All this while, she had thought that Yueyao was too dependent on her husband. However, she later realized that in fact, the dependent person was Mu Yazhe. He was too dependent on his daughter.
Mu Yazhe had doted on Yueyao since she was little. He cherished and protected her with great care.
It was as if Gu Jinglian and Mu Yazhe were trying to outdo each other as slaves to their daughters.
Mu Yazhe didn’t do too badly. Although he doted on his daughter, he had his principles. Gu Jinglian, on the other hand, doted on Lingge unconditionally and there was no bottom line whatsoever.
Fortunately, Chu He did not condone it. While Gu Jinglian played the good cop, Chu He was in charge of playing the bad cop. Otherwise, Gu Lingge would definitely have turned out to be lawless.
After urging Yueyao to go to bed, the girl headed for her room. Yun Shishi’s smile slowly disappeared.
Seeing her troubled expression, Mu Yazhe leaned over and put his arm around her shoulders. “What’s on your mind?” he asked.
The two had been married for many years. However, they were still very loving. Even though Mu Yazhe was a slave to his daughter and pampered her, he had his priorities clear. He knew that Yun Shishi was his life partner. Therefore, he doted on her very much. Whenever she was unhappy, he would keep her company.
“I’m thinking that since Nana hasn’t woken up, this matter…”
“Was there a doctor around when you were there today?”
“No. It was late when I got there.”
The man probed, “And Youyou was with her all that time?”
“Uh huh.”
“Mmm.”
He patted her head gently and said, “Don’t worry about this and that. I feel that you have endless things to worry about every day.”
“But I’m really worried!” Feeling aggrieved, Yun Shishi said, “It’s heartbreaking to see Nana and Youyou this way.”
“I’ve already said before that life is never smooth-sailing. It’s precisely because happy times are hard to come by that they’re precious. We’ve also experienced a lot before learning to cherish each other, hmm?”
Even though his words made sense, the woman could not calm down.
“People always have the idea of joint responsibility. They will always force the responsibility of others’ misfortune on themselves.”
“What do you mean?”
“For example, if your friend were in a car accident and facing amputation, you may feel guilty. You can’t feel at ease with your happiness and joy when our friend is suffering. Another example is that Nana hasn’t woken up yet. You can’t change this fact at all, but you’re punishing yourself because of this.”
His words were meaningful, but they were enlightening.
“That’s because…”
“It’s not a responsibility. There’s no need to punish yourself for someone else’s misfortune.”
“Okay…” Yun Shishi nodded thoughtfully.
