Chapter 1676: 1676 Wishing you well

"I won’t." He spoke with conviction, "Why can’t you trust me?"

"I know, whether it’s over five years ago or today, you would say you wouldn’t." She smiled faintly, "People’s hearts change. One day, a year, ten years – even decades, will you still make me bear the burden of hindering your future, of your estrangement with your biological parents, of the constant fear of your potential regret? Do you think we would be happy?"

"Wife, I’m sorry, I didn’t know you thought like this. I thought my feelings for you were as clear as day and night..."

"Over five years ago, precisely because I loved you, I eventually chose to be selfish." She interrupted him, "However, one thing made me change my mind at the last moment."

His facial expression darkened.

He recalled that when he returned to the room, he saw her in Chang Haotian’s arms, and without distinguishing right from wrong, he jealously berated her furiously.

Thinking back now, it was he who first blamed her for improper conduct, and only then did she admit to having an affair with Chang Haotian.

Thinking about this, he gave himself a harsh slap, leaving an immediate red mark on his handsome face, "Wife, I am sorry, at that time when I saw Chang Haotian holding you, I was so consumed by jealousy that I hurt you..."

In reality, Su Qingyue was pregnant at the time, and exhausted, she almost fell. It was Chang Haotian who caught her, "You said you tripped on the street once and were caught by Chang Haotian, could it have happened a second time?"

Indeed, it was true.

She just didn’t explain.

"Wife, I believe you. I was foolish. I just cared so much about you and was jealous... I was stupid!" He quickly grasped her hand, "For over five years, not a day has passed without regret. I shouldn’t have doubted you, I shouldn’t have been blindly jealous..."

She coldly shook off his hand, "I did have an affair with Chang Haotian, you don’t need to blame yourself."

His gaze darkened, "I know you’re lying. If you really had an affair, during these past five years, why would you hide when everyone from Pear Blossom Villa has been looking for you? You just don’t want to be entangled with him."

It was indeed a lie. She despised betrayal, thus she would never do such a thing. However, her words were, "Precisely because of the affair, I had to avoid him. Otherwise, why would I hide?"

Just to avoid being pestered, but her rebuttal made Xiao Yuchuan’s face instantly turn pale and angry, "Su Qingyue, you are lying to me!"

It wasn’t that she wanted to deepen the misunderstanding between him and third brother, but...

The trust between her and him was still insufficient.

There was an even larger issue standing between him and third brother.

Even if all misunderstandings were resolved today, in the future...

In the face of undeniable evidence, undeniable that it couldn’t be his blood, no matter how deep his love, he might not believe Little Ye’er was his son.

It was better for him not to know about Little Ye’er’s existence.

Rather than letting him hurt again in the future, it was better to let go now, just like over five years ago.

Wouldn’t it be better to live our own lives?"

"At this point, what reason would I have to lie to you?" She stood up slowly, "Master Chang is so outstanding, isn’t it natural for me to be moved?"

"You!"

"So many years have passed." Su Qingyue looked at him calmly, "When I initially parted from you, it wasn’t to wait for either you or myself to grow and reunite. If that was my intent, why separate in the first place? Once separated, we shall each live well on our own, having nothing more to do with each other!"
