The Big Boss & His Dainty Wife

With a discerning mind, Qiao Ning asked, “Xiaotang, his family must be opposed to you two, right?”

Hai Xiaotang nodded, “Yes.”

“And he has really hurt your heart, so you’re afraid to trust him fully again, aren’t you?”

The direct hit unnerved Hai Xiaotang, causing her gaze to flicker.

She nodded, “You’re right. I can stay with him, but to give him my heart fully, I’m afraid I can’t do that anymore.”

Qiao Ning gave a knowing nod, “I understand. It’s like the story of the boy who cried wolf. You no longer trust him and fear he might hurt you again at some point.”

Indeed, the cruel lessons she learned in her past and present life clearly told her, Dongfang Yu could be very cruel when he wanted to be.

In her previous life, he was still heartless till her death, waiting for her to die so he can immediately marry Lin Xinxin.

That alone is proof of his merciless cruelty.

In this life, she was moved by him time and time again, feeling insecure, and unsettled, and yet she chose to trust him.

She thought, the Dongfang Yu of her past life and this life were not the same.

She thought he was sincere and would truly be good to her.

But what did she end up with? She witnessed his merciless side once again!

Now he’s trying to move her again…

The same actions might work once, but this time, she wouldn’t be swayed that easily.

Moreover, she’s still unsure if he was the one behind the several attempts on her life.

As long as there’s some plot around her, she can’t completely trust him!

Yes, she dares not trust him and doesn’t want to either.

Why should she have to trust him, after all, their relationship is merely a transaction.

She didn’t want to foolishly fall in love with him again, only to hear from him in the end that everything he did was just to get back at them!

Get back at them viciously!

Even if he’s sincere now and will never hurt her again, it has nothing to do with her anymore.

She has already responded to him once, so she won’t do it a second time.

If he loves her, that’s his business.

She doesn’t want to love him, and that’s her business.

In this life, she doesn’t want to touch any emotions again, she just wants to quietly live her life to its end.

Thinking about all this, Hai Xiaotang became even more resolved!

She suddenly felt a lot lighter.

Hai Xiaotang couldn’t help but laugh, “Qiao Ning, I just realized that all worries are self-inflicted! If I had really been without resentment or expectations towards him from the start, I wouldn’t have been hurt by him. So from now on, I won’t ask for anything! In fact, as long as I don’t love men, everything will become simple.”

Qiao Ning was shocked!

“Xiaotang, are you okay?! What do you mean by not loving men, are you going to, are you going to…” love women instead?

Hai Xiaotang saw her thoughts and laughed out loud, “What are you thinking about? I’m just saying, I want to be a monk living in this mundane world.”

In the end, she playfully put her hands together and silently chanted, ‘Amitābha’.

But Qiao Ning couldn’t laugh. Even if Hai Xiaotang seemed to be joking, it might not be insincere.

In this mundane world, the most difficult thing to break free from is love.

No one can escape the torturous power of affection.

But Hai Xiaotang just had to see through it all… she was almost there…

Even if breaking free could spare her thousands of worries, why did she feel a pang of sorrow for her?

But Xiaotang, can you really let go completely?
