The worst was the young men and women’s teasing, constantly proposing pranks on the newlyweds like drinking with high heels, removing her intimate clothing… Fortunately, Tang Hua spoke to stop them, and others didn’t dare to go too far. But this malice had already made her, who was extremely timid, even more averse to his family circle – especially since the family circle was incredibly large, beyond her capacity to handle.
The people of Taipei had become her nightmare. She knew their evaluation of her wasn’t good either, with some even calling her a “wooden doll”.
If this trip to Taipei could be just about spending time with her son, that would be wonderful. She hoped no one would come to look at her, as she was terrified of being examined like a strange creature and feared being asked to take on the role of Tang family’s mistress and become the matriarch of the Tang clan.
He shouldn’t arrange such things again… right?
Stealing a glance at him, worrisome thoughts came in waves. Those days seven years ago were a lifelong disaster for her.
Maybe during those days in Taipei, she could let him know her heart and more clearly confirm whether her feelings stem from gratitude or love. This was her last chance. She had to try. Did she want to wait numbly until he announced loving someone else and then cry? If he also left her life, she didn’t know what could support her to continue living. As the answer in her heart gradually became clear, her heart became more anxious. All the “what ifs” converged into a panic occupying her chest… Cannot retreat! Really cannot retreat! 11 Don’t ask me why I love you It just suddenly came Like spring thunder awakening the earth without warning yet Suddenly attacking And so I know I fell in love with you as the earth responds with green wilderness 22
