Therefore, she cannot continue to trouble Tang Hua, nor can she think of him too often—since returning from Sanlin Stream, his image has filled her heart. It must be an attempt to depend on him, just as her previous life only accommodated her loving parents.
She will not let this situation continue. Divorced men and women are essentially unrelated, yet he still arranges servants to manage her daily life, providing her with the safest and most comprehensive care. This is already so good that it makes her feel ashamed. She absolutely must not fantasize about extracting more from him; he has no obligation to let her take at will.
Her heart will feel pain, merely from fear of her own incompetence, but this fear must be ignored because more challenges will inevitably arise in the future. She must take responsibility for herself.
“Madam, your phone,” Chen Sao gently knocked on the open door, reporting to Xiao Susu in the sunroom and handed her the wireless telephone.
Thanking Chen Sao, her heart suddenly raced, as if about to jump out of her chest, forcing her to carefully cover it before speaking:
“Hello? Is it him? Could it be him…”
“Susu, it’s Du Feifan. I’m back in Taichung. There’s a charity fundraising performance tomorrow at ‘Spring Radiance Enlightenment School’. Want to go together?” Her enthusiastic voice came through.
“Feifan? Oh… okay… won’t there be too many people?” Unable to explain the sudden sense of loss in her heart.
Tang Hua understood his mother’s hint and remained silent, eating quietly with his thoughts entirely focused on his wife; he did not want to generate too many desires, yet could not suppress them.
Is there no emotion? Then why does he sink deeply when touching her body? If it were purely defined as mutual physical need between man and woman, it would be self-deception. Recently busy with work, he almost had no time and did not want to delve deeper, but people cannot always remain busy, so many unexamined thoughts would surface during leisure time.
“Brother Tang, I haven’t seen Sister-in-law for a long time. How is she?” According to the most reliable sources in high society, his wife was extremely weak, bedridden for years, causing Tang Hua to leave her alone in Taichung and rarely return.
Tang Hua smiled: “She is fine.”
