Chapter 376: We Are Essentially the Same Kind of People

The room was filled with a calming fragrance, light and subtle, lingering between Lu Xining's breaths.

In response to Shang Lvxing's serious statement, she recalled how he had done the same thing before—this time even bringing a recording pen with him, as if convinced she wouldn't believe what he said.

Lu Xining sighed and raised her gaze, saying, "I have never doubted the truth of your words."

"But Shang Lvxing, we also have to be practical. What my mother said was based on the context of you and me growing up as childhood friends. But in reality?"

She looked at his handsome and composed features and continued, "Shang Qing deceived my mother, leaving her heartbroken beyond repair."

Lu Xining never felt that having been married and having three children made her inferior to Shang Lvxing. Her views stemmed from her mother's choices and the reality of the situation, advising Shang Lvxing not to cling stubbornly to a promise made in their younger years.
