Lu Luozhi felt heartbroken.

Ever since she heard Ying Yuchuan talk about his relationship with Li Wan last night, she felt something was off.

She longed to laugh as carefree as she usually did, but she couldn't; she seemed unable to.

Ying Yuchuan's final reaction kept replaying in her mind.

When she asked him if he still liked Li Wan, he didn't even dare to answer her directly.

Yes, that's true. Everyone has their past, which is something she can't be a part of.

However, as his wife, when she asked her husband if he still loved his former love interest, her feelings were so complex that she didn't know what words to use to describe them.

Should she care?

Or should we not care?

Who wants their husband to have another woman in his heart?

But what if she, Lu Luozhi, is the accident that shouldn't have existed in the first place?

If it weren't for her, Ying Yuchuan might have been able to rekindle his romance with the woman he loved.

A woman like Li Wan would definitely be accepted by Old Madam Ying.

This way, there won't be any arguments, and the Ying family won't be in such chaos.

"Zhi'er, what are you thinking about?"

In a corner of the park, Song Minghua sipped his milk tea, watching her sit there listlessly, not even drinking her milk tea anymore. Worried, he asked, "Did that old woman from the Ying family upset you again?"

He slammed the cup of milk tea he was holding onto the stone table in front of him angrily, his old face flaring with rage. "If that's the case, just tell me. I'll go to the Ying family right now and have a word with that old man."

Lu Luozhi waved her hand, "It's nothing, it has nothing to do with her."

When she woke up in the morning, Ying Yuchuan had already left. He was going to a business conference in a neighboring city, so he had to leave early. It was about an hour's drive, and he would be back around the afternoon.

It's good that she doesn't have to face him first thing in the morning; at least it won't be awkward, and she doesn't know what to say.

They had nothing to say to each other before going to sleep, and now they seem even more at a loss for what to say.

Lu Luozhi felt rather awkward right now.

He had a wife he married quickly and registered their marriage with, but they never consummated their marriage.

A childhood goddess who suddenly appears.

Alas, what a global problem.

After a busy morning at the company, just before lunch, Song Minghua called her to come out for lunch, saying that he happened to be in the vicinity on business and wanted to have lunch and chat with her.

She had previously reported her achievements in dealing with Madam Ying, and also mentioned that she was now working as Ying Yuchuan's secretary.

He called out, so she definitely came out.

As a result, the old man bought a bunch of chicken pizzas and milk tea and waited for her in a small park near the company.

Is this what he means by eating?

He probably just wanted to use the excuse of inviting her to dinner to satisfy his own cravings.

"Hey old man, I have a question for you."

I glanced at the old man Song Minghua, thinking that he was already eighty years old and had a lot of life experience. I thought I might ask him for some answers.

"explain."

Song Minghua didn't even look up. He picked up a slice of smoked chicken pizza with double cheese and ate it slowly. "Tsk, the food these young people eat is really delicious. What kind of miserable life did I live for the past few decades?"

Lu Luozhi leaned closer to him. "Suppose, um, suppose, you have a wife, but you don't have much feeling for her. However, you happen to run into your former crush, your 'white moonlight' goddess. Would you stay with your 'white moonlight' goddess, or continue with your wife?"

This isn't a difficult problem for men.

After hearing this, Song Minghua narrowed his eyes thoughtfully.

"That's a difficult question."

"First of all, I don't have any 'white moonlight goddess' (idealized woman). Secondly, my relationship with my wife is quite good, so the problems you mentioned don't exist."

Tch, so you're showing off to her now, aren't you?

"I already said 'what if,' so just imagine it."

Song Minghua glanced at her with amusement and asked in a knowing tone, "What's wrong? Having problems with that Ying family boy?"

Lu Luozhi spread out the two branches and said, "There was never any real feeling between us, so what's the point of having any feelings?"

What she said was true. They had never met before getting married. They skipped the normal dating process and got married in a whirlwind romance. There was no real affection between them.

"So it's that kid's ex-girlfriend showing up, trying to force you to step down?"

As expected of an old man who has eaten more salt than rice, Song Minghua immediately pointed out the problem.

He slammed his hand on the table again, his eyes wide with anger. "Zhi'er, if you just nod your head, I'll help you cause a huge scene at the Ying family. They dare to treat you like this, they're not giving me, Song Minghua, any face. If they don't give me, Song Minghua, any face, I won't give them any face either!"

"Old man, have you been watching too many palace dramas? Your idea of ​​forcing someone to abdicate is hilarious, hahaha..."

She was amused by his adjectives and burst into laughter, leaning over the table.

"If that's the case, then that person would have to be heavily pregnant..."

As she spoke of her large pregnant belly, Lu Luozhi's laughter suddenly stopped, and her expression became somewhat serious.

Song Minghua clicked his tongue and lightly poked her head with his finger. "You silly child, what time is it? Still laughing like this. Don't wait until that woman comes with a big belly and forces you to give up your seat. Then you'll be crying."

Lu Luozhi had previously told him why the two of them got married.

Such loveless marriages are most prone to problems; if the man finds a better option, he is likely to change his mind.

Ying Yuchuan marrying her is merely fulfilling a promise between their two families. And then what?

What else?

There's nothing there—no feelings, no love, no affection. It's no wonder that such a marriage would have problems.

Besides, if it really is that Ying family kid's ex-girlfriend who shows up, tsk, his silly apprentice is really in danger.

He's a man too, and he knows very well the inherent weaknesses of men.

What we can't have is always the best, and it's always something we long for.

His words made Lu Luozhi's heart sink even deeper.

Yes.

What if?

Nobody can say for sure about this, right?

Seeing how heartbroken she looked, Song Minghua couldn't bear to say anything more to her.

He asked her seriously, "Zhi'er, let me ask you, do you like that boy from the Ying family?"

"like?"

His words left her somewhat confused.

"Yes, that kind of liking, that kind of love, a woman has for a man? Or should I ask, do you love him?"

This really stumped her.

Lu Luozhi was also confused for a moment and couldn't give him an answer.

She was asking herself the same question.

Does she like Ying Yuchuan?

Song Minghua patted her shoulder reassuringly.

"Think about it carefully. If you like him and want this man, then do everything you can to win his heart back. On the contrary, if you don't have any feelings for him and he's indifferent to you, then you don't need to be so conflicted."
