Chapter 1073: Chapter 1073: She Has No Dreams

Hai Xiaotang didn’t understand why Dongfang Yu still had the interest to continue working.

Dongfang Yu’s answer had depth, "Millions of people rely on me for their livelihood. If I don’t work, they’ll starve. I work because of a sense of responsibility."

That sense of responsibility was something Hai Xiaotang couldn’t bear. Not everyone can be Dongfang Yu.

Hai Xiaotang went to ask Dongfang Yue why he still worked so hard despite being so wealthy.

Dongfang Yue thought for a moment, then answered with a smile, "How can I relax before I exceed Dongfang Yu?"

"..." This reason was even further beyond what Hai Xiaotang could achieve.

Surpassing Dongfang Yu was even less likely than her surpassing the nearby supermarket owner!

Hai Xiaotang then went to ask He Meilian if she didn’t find it boring not to work.

"Not at all. My grandson is so cute, it’s so much fun to spend the day with him. It’s more interesting than working."

Alright...

She didn’t have a grandson!

In the end, Hai Xiaotang decided to ask Hai Lan and Qiao Ning what their reasons for working were and, surprisingly, their answers were the same - because of dreams!

After so many years, going around in circles, Hai Xiaotang had come back to her initial confusion.

What was her dream?

Hai Xiaotang realized she truly had no dream.

In the past few years, she had been through too much, and had faced too many life and death separations with Dongfang Yu, so once they were together, she just enjoyed and cherished their time together.

But in this world, the most powerful thing is time.

Time changes everything.

Time healed her wounds and her soul. She was healed and no longer needed to cherish their time together as if fighting against the clock.

She began to feel bored, and she wanted to find something to do...

However, with no dreams or aspirations, she really didn’t know what to do; nothing seemed to motivate her.

That was Hai Xiaotang’s biggest problem. Without solving this issue, she would continue to struggle with it for her entire life.

But, she really had no dream...

Hai Xiaotang couldn’t understand why everyone around her had dreams, even her two sons did.

Haohao dreamed of exploring the entire universe, and Chenchen dreamed of becoming a race car driver.

Even the dog she raised, Meimei, had a dream, which was to loaf around and wait to die.

She alone had no dreams, not even to loaf around and wait to die...

Then what was the meaning of her life in this world? What was the value of her existence?

The more Hai Xiaotang thought about it, the more she obsessed over it. This was a typical case of postpartum depression, feeling utterly worthless!

Dongfang Yu quickly noticed something was wrong with Hai Xiaotang.

She was listless all day, easily irritated, and always looked utterly bored.

This was similar to her state before she had children.

Dongfang Yu consulted a doctor and learned that her prenatal depression had followed her into the postnatal period.

This was a serious problem; if it wasn’t handled properly, she would suffer until it was cured.

Dongfang Yu found a time to have a heart-to-heart talk with her and found out she had been having all kinds of wild thoughts.

He didn’t belittle her thoughts, nor did he think her problems were insignificant.

Instead, he took them very seriously.

"After thinking for so many years, you still don’t know what you like to do?" Dongfang Yu asked gently.

Hai Xiaotang nodded glumly, "Mhm."

"I remember you saying that your biggest hobby was liking me, right?"

"Yes, but apart from that, there’s nothing else..."
