Chapter 190 Finale
She would certainly not go abroad again, because her life was in China, and she had already been absent from Gu Hetang's life for four years.

As a mother, I am indeed not competent enough.

Thinking of this, she smiled and said, "Mr. Gu, would you like to go for a walk?"

Song Jin'an took the initiative to invite Gu Xijue to go for a walk, but Jiang Ciyu passed by without saying a word.

The night breeze in Haicheng was pleasant and comfortable. The two walked along the riverside road intersection, and Song Jin'an spoke first.

"To be honest, I really hated you during the first few months I was abroad."

She looked up at the sky and said, "I was thinking to myself, I must have had the worst luck in eight lifetimes to run into a bastard like you."

I did feel wronged at that time, but now it seems that those grievances have vanished.

"But now, I no longer hate you. I think everything I've been through was a test from God."

When Song Jin'an speaks these words now, there is no resentment in her eyes, only a sense of nonchalance.

Gu Xijue stiffened his neck, feeling as if he could no longer hold onto the woman beside him, as if there was a handful of sand in his palm, the tighter he gripped, the faster it scattered.

Did you ever love me?

Gu Xijue didn't know why he suddenly asked her this.

The woman beside him answered without hesitation, "Of course I loved you."

Upon hearing this answer, Gu Xijue tensed up, his heart pounding violently, feeling a burning pain.

"But that love was eventually worn away completely."

When she said those words, it already indicated that she no longer wanted any emotional entanglement with the man in front of her.

For once, Gu Xijue remained silent, but quickly spoke again: "When did it start..."

“Mr. Gu, don’t you think that in this relationship, you’ve always been in a superior position, while I’ve always been kneeling and begging for your love? From the very beginning, we’ve been unequal. Even when I felt a little bit of your love for me later, you always tore it up with your own hands.”

"Do you remember that year's school anniversary celebration? I prepared things at home for a long time, imagining the three of us traveling abroad, but in the end we couldn't go."

Her words were full of regret.

“I can make it up to you.”

He spoke. Song Jin'an shook her head: "What's missed is missed. Gu Xijue, I'm already looking forward, and you should too. Don't look back."

Gu Xijue finally sighed: "It seems that your marriage with me caused you a lot of resentment and you suffered a lot of grievances."

It seemed he was a step too late again. There was a moment of silence, and Gu Xijue's face was also tense.

So what are your thoughts on the issue of children?

She thought that spending time with her daughter during summer and winter vacations was too much to ask of Gu Xijue.

After all, his family's elite education system wouldn't allow him to do that.

"I will stay in Haicheng, in that old villa. You can come and check up on me. I won't take her away from Haicheng, so don't worry about that."

Song Jin'an's eyes were completely on Gu Hetang, while Gu Xijue gave a self-deprecating laugh: "Is our only topic of conversation now our daughter?"

She was taken aback, remained silent for a moment, then stopped, looked at the man in front of her, and said seriously, "Yes."

He spoke with absolute certainty.

Song Jin'an thought their conversation had ended in vain, but to her surprise, Gu Xijue had his driver take Gu Hetang to the villa the very next day.

The mother and daughter spent a few days happily together, until one night, Gu Hetang asked her a question like a little adult.

"Mom, are you really not going to get back together with Dad?"

Song Jin'an raised an eyebrow: "You want me to live with your father again?"

Gu Hetang nodded and then shook his head, finally saying only one sentence: "No matter what Mom chooses, I hope Mom will be happy."

……

For the next ten years, Gu Hetang spent his summer and winter vacations with Song Jin'an, and stayed at the old house on school days.

Song Jin'an didn't remarry Gu Xijue, probably because her ex-husband was a powerful figure in Haicheng who could shake the city with a stomp of his foot, and no man dared to flirt with her. Gu Xijue also didn't remarry, focusing all his energy on his career.

She looked up at the azure sky, smiled slightly, and thought, "These days are pretty good too."
