If We Cannot Grow Old Together

Proofread by Zhou Zhijie

Li Qiaosheng keeps a low profile to an unprecedented degree. He is even prepared for the woman’s refusal.

Surprisingly, Mu Ziyou simply answers, “Okay, no problem.”

“Xiaoyou! You—” Hearing her response, Qin Ynag is shocked into speechlessness.

Then, Mu Ziyou turns to him with a smile and explains, “Brother Qin Yang, you told me that the best way to revenge Xia Wanyan is to let her experience the betrayal of her love, didn’t you? Huh, I think it makes sense!” She says it to Qin Yang and Li Qiaosheng as well.

“But, aren’t you afraid—” Qin Yang subconsciously takes a look at little Pudding in his arms.

“Now that our baby has been born, what else could I be afraid of? I’ll be right back when it’s over. Take good care of Pudding these days, please!”

The man standing aside keeps staring meaningfully at Mu Ziyou’s profile. He could not figure out what on earth she is up to in a while. But Qin Yang understands her intention instantly through eye contact.

What follows is the unspeakable bitterness from his heart—pitying her.

This girl is pushing herself to a blind alley — she intends to deepen the hate from Li Qiaosheng while retaliating against Xia Wanyan.

She wants Li Qiangsheng to hate her for attacking his present wife with her identity and her intention to form a new family with her new beau once no more advantage could be taken of…

On the way back, Li Qiaosheng finally couldn’t help asking the little woman beside him, “Didn’t you formerly say that you will ‘leave us together for good’? How come you suddenly changed your mind today?”

“Huh, I wanted to leave you together for good because I hadn’t got to know the truth that my mom was forced to commit suicide by Xia Wanyan! Now I know about the truth. Sure enough, by no means could I let my mother die in vain. So I’m sorry. I just can’t let it be. Mr. Li, hope that it won’t bother you since I’ll be interrupting the life of you and your wife from time to time in the following days.”

“Of course not. You’re very welcome.” The man couldn’t stop lifting the corners of his mouth.

As luck would have it, he can take advantage of her tricks naturally.

This time, it is Mu Ziyou who becomes astonished. Normally, he should be outraged and hate her more deeply. Why is he so indulgent?

Ah-ha, is it because…

“I’ve seen the news recently. Mr. Li does not believe Xia Wanyan’s explanation at the press conference? So Mr. Li wants me to go back with him in this circumstance in order to upset Xia Wanyan and win her loyalty back?”

Li Qiaosheng is apparently dissatisfied with the way she addresses him as “Mr. Li”. “Youyou, I’m still your husband. Do we have to be so distant to each other? Speaking of me and Xia Wanyan…, we didn’t get the marriage license. What I’m doing now, including the appearance of Xia Wanyan in the headlines, is all planned by me, aiming to help you revenge. Could you understand my intention?”

They didn’t get the marriage license?Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

It is part of his plan to get Xia Wanyan so badly exposed?

Seriously? Weren’t they loving each other so deeply before her feign death?

When the car pulls up outside the gate of the villa, she follows Li Qiaosheng into the villa. Mu Ziyou is even more astonished when she notices that everything is exactly the same as it was when she lived there before. Xia Wanyan doesn’t show up at all…

“She’s in another villa. This is our marital home, where for sure she is not allowed to live.” Seeming to have noticed her doubt, Li Qiaosheng explains without much emotion.

Mu Ziyou’s heart is no longer peaceful, yet she shows no sign of it in the face. She lifts the corner of her mouth slightly instead, “So you mean to keep a mistress in your house?”
