Chapter 1207 - Xia Yehuas Marriage (2) (1/2)

“We have both been through it all and have our past. The woman I loved has passed away and you’ve been divorced for years, so why can’t we build our own happy family?”

Xia Yehua replied without having to think twice, “But everyone’s talking—”

“What does it matter what other people say? Have you forgotten? When I was young, I went through a bad patch where people were saying things and you scolded me. You said that I shouldn’t punish myself for other people’s mistakes. If people wanted to talk nonsense then let them, it wouldn’t kill me! But when it comes to you, why don’t you have the same wisdom?”

Xia Yehua was stumped.

“So don’t use what other people might say as an excuse.”

Xia Yehua started again, “I—”

“Yehua, we know each other so well, I know how you feel about me. So don’t lie to me and say that you have no feelings for me. We get along well when it comes to our personalities and interests. Let’s be together.”

Xia Yehua replied, “… We can’t.”

“Why?”

“I don’t wish to get married right now.”

Uncle Li paused and asked, “Then when do you wish to get married?”

Xia Yehua bit her lip and tried to gloss over the matter, “In another six years.”

“Ok, then I’ll wait another six years and propose again.”

At that point, Shen Liangchuan could see that it was obvious his mother was just trying to avoid it.

She actually didn’t want to be together with Uncle Li.

Even though she liked him, as long as she had not mended her relationship with Shen Zihao, she wouldn’t be able to bring herself to get married and upset him.

Shen Liangchuan knew that in another six years, their affections would have faded somewhat.

Uncle Li would likely have found some other woman and wouldn’t be waiting for Mom still.
