Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All

Chapter 1009: Chapter 1000

"I did say those things, but you know very well that it was before I went to the Northwest. And when I was about to be sent to the countryside in the Northwest, it was you who proposed to break up with me in person. From that moment, we had no relationship at all.

Now, many years have passed. You got married and have your own children. I also have a family and my own kids. Moreover, my feelings for you faded long ago. When I returned from the Northwest last year, I didn’t make any promises to you. I hope you won’t say things that could cause misunderstanding."

"But you came back and didn’t tell me that you got married in the Northwest and even have two children."

"Why should I tell you all of this out of nowhere?"

"Then why... why did you pay attention to me when I looked for you? And why were you so nice to Wenwen?"

"I responded to you out of politeness. After all, we grew up together. Even though we didn’t become a couple, the friendship from the past remains.

As for being nice to Wenwen, it was purely overthinking on your part. In our family courtyard, whenever I see any acquaintance’s child, I show kindness to them, not just your daughter."

"Are you really willing to spend your life with a village woman?"

"Xiao Kui gave birth to my children, she is their mother. Spending a lifetime with her is a very normal thing. To me, there’s no question of willingness or unwillingness."

"You’re so excessive! You’d rather choose a village woman over me. I... I must have been blind to have liked you before! Sob sob..."

"Perhaps we were both blind. Otherwise, when you found out about the trouble in my family and that I had to go to the Northwest countryside, you wouldn’t have broken up with me, saying that you always considered me just like an older brother you grew up with, without any romantic feelings."

"You..." The woman’s sobbing stopped. After a moment, with her voice tinged with pain, she asked, "Aunt Lu said you registered your marriage with that village woman. That’s a lie to me, right?"

"My mother didn’t lie to you."

The last shred of hope shattered, and the woman hit the man, "I hate you, Shen Yunxiu! I hate you! I struggled so hard to escape back here with Wenwen from that small village in the South, and you no longer want me..."

"Show some respect!"

"I despise you, Shen Yunxiu!"

"If that’s the case, then let’s just be strangers from now on!"

Footsteps sounded from behind the rockery, and once the footsteps moved away, Kang Li glanced at Cui Xiaokui and gestured in another direction with her hand.

Cui Xiaokui understood and followed Kang Li’s steps onto the path that Kang Li pointed out.

"We weren’t eavesdropping; we just happened to overhear the conversation while passing by."

This was Kang Li’s voice.

Hearing this, Cui Xiaokui was initially stunned, then nodded: "Sister Kang Li is right."

"As long as you understand. Never mention it in front of Comrade Shen Yunxiu, okay?"

Kang Li, seeing that Cui Xiaokui understood her point, advised her: "In such matters, everyone, regardless of gender, has pride. Furthermore, you heard it yourself; it was that woman who wanted to reconcile with Comrade Shen Yunxiu.

Judging from Shen Yunxiu’s words, he has no such intentions. Since he’s willing to hold you and the kids in his heart and intends to live a good life, just pretend you know nothing."

Cui Xiaokui nodded lightly: "I understand."

"In fact, to put it another way, whatever happened between Shen Yunxiu and that woman was before he joined us in the countryside. We, as modern women, have no reason or need to dwell on whom people liked when they were young, right?"

To prevent any lingering discomfort in Cui Xiaokui’s heart, Kang Li comforted her.
