Of course, this may only be the case for some special people.

But...

Looking at Li'er's clean eyes, I said softly: "No."

"Then——"

"It's just that your father has someone he likes more."

"Ah?"

I gently held Li'er in my arms, stroked her heart, and said softly: "Your father has already given a lot of happiness to your mother, so now he is going to give happiness to others.

”

Li'er looked at me stupidly: "What kind of happiness has he given my mother?"

I smiled and said: "It's Li'er."

"..."

"Having a divorced son is the greatest happiness in my life."

Li'er's ignorant little face was originally full of anxiety and sadness. When she heard this sentence, it seemed like a flower bloomed again and she started laughing.

However, her smile only lasted for a moment, and suddenly she looked at me with an anxious expression: "What about - where are mother and father?"

This time, I also hesitated.

I know she likes her father, but liking him and knowing that his father and mother sleep together are two different things.

Children, especially girls, should have the most correct understanding of ethics so that they can have self-respect and self-respect when they grow up. I am not good enough and there is no way I can do better. What Pei Yuanxiu and I did last night is simply wrong.

Yes, I don’t want to cast such a shadow on Li’er’s heart.

So, I said seriously: "Li'er, mother has one more thing to tell you."

"What?"

"You——"

I hesitated for a moment, looked into her clean and clear eyes, gritted my teeth and said, "If mom gets married to your dad, will you do it?"

Li'er's eyes opened for a moment, and then there was no sound.

I lowered my head and looked at her carefully. I saw her blank face and the flashing light in her big eyes. For a moment, I couldn't tell whether she was happy or angry.

I waited with bated breath for a long time, but she still didn't respond. I just felt that the little body in my arms was very stiff.

I said softly: "Li'er?"

When she heard my voice, she moved in a daze, but still didn't speak.

"Li'er, tell your mother whatever you think."

"..."

"Mom wants to know what Li'er thinks."

She still didn’t speak immediately, but after lowering her head and being silent for a while, she raised her eyes and looked at me, but instead of answering my question, she asked me: “Mom, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, you said, Dad

In the future, he will have his own family. He will get married and have children, but why, you?"

I didn't expect that she would still remember what I said to her that night.

But now, hearing these words only makes me feel full of bitterness. The expectations I once had have all come to nothing now. My departure has become a joke in the end. No matter how I escape, it seems I can't escape.<

/p>

I smiled bitterly in my heart, but my face was still very calm, and I said softly: "Because your father chose me."

"Does Dad like Mom?"

"...Yes."

Li'er fell silent again. I thought she would remain silent for a long time like before, but after a while, she raised her head and looked at me again: "Where is mother?"

I was stunned for a moment: "What?"

"Does Mom like Dad?"

"..."

"Do you like it?"

When I heard her question, I was stunned for a moment. Only this childish voice echoed in my ears, but she asked a deafening question——

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

Does mom like daddy?

Do you like it?

It suddenly occurred to me that in my half life, only a few short decades, I have experienced so much. I have been surrounded by all kinds of people, and I have even been married twice, but no one has ever asked me.

Do you like that person?

What everyone cares about is whether I should marry, whether I can marry, whether I am worthy of marrying; what everyone thinks about is what will happen if I marry, and what will happen if I don’t marry; what everyone sees is that man

How good, how bad, how worthy, how unworthy... All they see is my counterpart, but no one has ever really cared about me.

No one has ever asked me if I like it or if I am willing?

The first person to ask this question was actually my daughter!

Looking into Li'er's eyes, I felt sad and relieved at the same time. Tears almost came out of my eyes. I couldn't help but hug her: "Li'er..."

"Mother."

She seemed a little sluggish in my arms, but she seemed to feel something. A pair of tender little hands stretched out and hugged me.

At this moment, no matter what Pei Yuanhao has given me is happiness or misfortune, I am really grateful to him and grateful that he gave me such a daughter. With her, I don’t care even if I go through all the pain in the past again.

!

We, mother and daughter, had been relying on each other for who knows how long before we slowly separated. Li'er's hands held my face again, and he asked persistently: "Mom, you haven't answered Li'er yet. Does mom like daddy?"

"..."

After a long silence, I reached out again and took my daughter into my arms.

Some trembling sounds sounded above her head——

"Mom, maybe you will like him."

Ever since she found out that Pei Yuanxiu and I were getting married, Li'er's mood has been very silent. I couldn't tell whether she was happy or sad. For such a young girl, her happiness and anger were hard to see through.

Sometimes, she even gives me the illusion that I have grown up overnight.

I would even see my daughter sitting in the room, lost in thought, for a long time.

I also know that for such a young child, she suddenly knows that her mother has been divorced by a father she has never met, and that her mother is going to marry the adoptive father who raised her since she was a child. No one can understand this feeling, except her. I know. But - I can feel that she has suffered some blows, and even has some sensitive wounds.

And only she can heal these.

Now, all Pei Yuanxiu and I can do is to be careful and not let anyone or anything hurt her.

After taking my horoscope that day, a few days later, Pei Yuanxiu came to the inner courtyard and told me that our wedding was scheduled for the second day of March.

I was drinking tea with a cup in hand. When I heard about this date, I looked up at him and he smiled and said, "I have asked them to go down and prepare some things."

I smiled: "Why did you choose that day?"

He also smiled: "They saw it and said it was a suitable day."

"Oh..."

I smiled and didn’t ask any more questions. I lowered my head and took a sip of tea, then put down the tea cup and said, "Then, do I need to prepare anything?"

He smiled and stretched out his hand to hold both of my hands, gently groped my fingertips, and said softly: "You must prepare to be the happiest bride in the world."

I don’t know whether it was because of the entanglement of my fingertips or because of his words, I blushed and lowered my head.

The way he looked at me, the smile in his eyes deepened. He leaned over and was about to kiss me on the lips, but I had already noticed it and stepped back slightly to avoid him.

"Don't do this."

"..."

"Don't let Li'er see it."

In fact, at this time, Li'er had already been taken to study with the master he specially invited. His and I were getting married soon, so naturally I couldn't and didn't need to do some of Li'er's things personally. He heard what I said now, Looking at me with a half-smile, I just lowered my head and said softly: "Before - before we get married, you better not do this."

"..."

"I don't want Li'er to know too much."

"..."

He was silent for a while, with a knowing smile on his face, and held my hand: "I understand."

As he said that, he seemed to be unable to control himself. He leaned into my ear and said softly: "I can wait."

When he said wait - of course he didn't just mean waiting for the wedding date.

My face turned red when he said it. He chuckled in my ear, then gently kissed my ear and temples, and said with a smile: "I'll let them get ready."

After saying that, he left the inner courtyard.

After he left, I took a look at the almanac.

The second day of March.

Renyin day.

It is appropriate to wear crowns and hairpins, travel, and worship.
