The Conclusion of the Conversation between Zhuang Bao and Zhou Wenhui and the Preparation for the Wedding

"Honey, Weixin said you have a friend. Why don't you come up and sit? Hi, how are you," Ken's hearty and brisk tone interrupted.

As soon as Ken walked in, he naturally stood behind Zhuang Bao and circled her over the back of the chair.

"What's going on? Did something happen?" Ken asked Zhuang Bao in English. He saw that one of the two women was crying and the other had a solemn expression...

"Nothing. Women are always sentimental, especially when we talk about the rights and wrongs of the past," Zhuang Bao placed her hand on his outstretched hand.

"So how much longer will you two talk?" Ken asked worriedly. He knew that there were some things - especially women's private thoughts - that men were better off not being present for.

"Just a little while longer. You go home first," Zhuang Bao stretched her neck and kissed him on the cheek.

"Okay, I'll go up first," Ken also left his affectionate kiss on her cheek.

After Ken left, after a while, Zhou Wenhui suddenly laughed.

"Haha... Of course you wouldn't want Xu Dingyuan, ha..." Zhou Wenhui laughed very strangely. In terms of external conditions, that man was far beyond what Xu Dingyuan could compare with! "Is that man yours? He loves you very much, right?" Zhou Wenhui envied how naturally they could show their intimacy.

"And he's the father of my son," Zhuang Bao added.

Zhou Wenhui was speechless and could only stare fixedly at Zhuang Bao, the woman she once thought was going to steal her husband. She thought the woman in front of her was the culprit who had pushed her into hell... but in the end, it was nothing like that. After this conversation with Zhuang Bao, she finally admitted in her heart that it was all her own doing. If she had let them be together when she knew that Zhuang Bao was in his heart, there wouldn't have been so much resentment.

Alas... "Why didn't you come out and meet me back then? Maybe I would have helped you two get together," she was still resentful towards Zhuang Bao.

"What's the difference between me telling you and him telling you? I wasn't doing it to help you either, nor was I trying to be a great woman. I was just fulfilling my promise to him. As long as it was something he wanted to do, I would stand by his side until the end," Zhuang Bao smiled and continued, "Until the day he married you, I really completely hid in the shadows, waiting for him without crying or making a fuss. Then I knew that in order to gain your trust, he wanted me to disappear."

"A lot of things, once missed, are missed. If you don't have the courage to accept and break through on your own, and just want to wait for the right time, then... Alas, he hid me, trying to show you that his promise remained unchanged. But I know one thing that you two are not willing to admit, that is, when he let me hold his hand and when we started dating, no matter how many promises he had made to you in the past, they no longer existed. Not to mention the fact that I was still his lover after you two had set the wedding date."

"Did you... really never contact him again?" Zhou Wenhui wanted to figure one thing out - at that time, she vaguely felt that her husband had been very irritable for a while. She originally thought it was due to work pressure.

"No, because I was pregnant. Hehe! Didn't I tell you? My son is of mixed - blood. He looks a lot like the man you just saw," Zhuang Bao immediately explained when she saw Zhou Wenhui's expression upon hearing that she was pregnant.

"How could you be with another man so quickly..." Zhou Wenhui criticized.

Zhuang Bao looked at her for a while before saying, "Isn't this better for you?"

Zhou Wenhui was stunned. Yes, wasn't this what she had hoped for at that time?

"But now... now he will hate me for the rest of his life because you won't change your mind," Zhou Wenhui said faintly.

"Alas! What on earth do you two want me to do? As I said, things that have been missed and lives that have been changed cannot be restarted. I am living every day seriously and accepting every thing I have to experience cheerfully," Zhuang Bao stood up. "I'm going back. My son and the man who loves me are waiting for me at home."

"The matter between you and your husband is your family affair and has nothing to do with me anymore," Zhuang Bao waved to her. She already had a different life and world.

Zhou Wenhui watched Zhuang Bao turn around and walk out of the reception room. Suddenly, she was filled with a sense of powerlessness. Why did she come to see Zhuang Bao? Wasn't it privately hoping that Zhuang Bao would help them and leave her husband? Then why, when the truth was like this, and Zhuang Bao had really left her husband long ago, did she not want it to end like this? What on earth was she hoping for?

When she walked out of the building and stepped into the night, she found her car parked on the side of the road in a daze. With a thousand thoughts in her heart, she picked up her mobile phone and dialed the home number.

"Hello?" It was her husband who answered.

"It's me, I..." Zhou Wenhui didn't have time to finish -

"Where have you been? You didn't even tell mom. What on earth are you doing?!" Xu Dingyuan's voice came through the phone, so strange and impatient.

She sighed. "I'm not coming back today," she was too lazy to argue anymore. She just wanted to be alone and calm down.

"What..." Xu Dingyuan's angry voice came, but she didn't want to listen anymore.

She hung up on his unfinished words and turned off her mobile phone by the way. She just wanted to think about everything that had happened over the years by herself...

Zhuang Bao went back upstairs. When she saw Ken wiping his hair in the room, she immediately stepped forward and gave him a big hug.

"Ken, thank you!" Oh, it was so warm to hold him!

Of course, Ken also gave her a affectionate hug without hesitation.

"Honey? What are you thanking me for?"

"Thank you for loving me, for loving such a willful woman like me," Zhuang Bao had just realized one thing - why she didn't reject Ken's closeness was not because he was the father of her son, but because the way Ken loved her was the same as the way she had loved Xu Dingyuan back then. They were both showing their love to the loved one in a simple and passionate way without reason. Thank God for the arrangement that let her meet Ken!

"I love you. Thank you for letting me love you," Ken said affectionately, responding to her current emotion.

"Thank you for telling me so directly, letting me know that you love me too," Zhuang Bao said.

She knew that she couldn't immediately love someone as passionately as she had in the past, but one day she would. She would grow up in the love that Ken gave her.

"Baby, I love you!" Ken was touched because this was the first time Baobao had promised him a future. He was really so happy and wanted to announce his happiness to the whole world.
