1331 I Only Want You 29 (2/2)

”Okay.” An Xiaoning picked up her mobile phone, only to discover that it was merely five o'clock in the morning and that the sky was still dark.

An Xiaoning lay back down and stared at the ceiling above. She could no longer fall asleep.

Thus, she decided to get out of bed. Fan Shixin followed suit, although he had initially wanted to catch some more sleep.

Fan Shixin proceeded to make some breakfast. By the time he was done, it was already half-past five.

The sky had just begun to brighten.

The two of them headed to the reservoir in a bid to reconnoiter the place.

However, An Xiaoning decided to drop by Liu Wanzhen's place before going to the reservoir. To her surprise, Liu Wanzhen's husband and son were both there.

It seemed that they did not return home last night.

Upon the sight of the two of them, Liu Wanzhen's husband asked, ”You are?”

He could not recognize An Xiaoning since she was wearing a mask.

”Can't you tell who I am from my voice?” An Xiaoning removed her mask and answered, ”It's me.”

”Oh, I see, Ms. An.”

”How long have you two been staying here?”

”One night. We arrived at about nine o'clock last night.”

Just like An Xiaoning had expected. Noticing that they were about to leave, An Xiaoning asked, ”Are you leaving already?”

”Yes, Wanzhen said that she's going off to reincarnate. She can't stay here anymore.”

”Is she gone?”

”Gone.”

An Xiaoning took a look around the house to see that Liu Wanzhen was really no longer around.

Hence, she and Fan Shixin left the house.

She put the mask back on and placed her hands inside her pockets. ”Staying alive is the most important thing. If a woman dies, her husband is definitely going to remarry since he's still so young. Her child will also have to address another woman as his mother. All the money that she had saved up painstakingly will go to someone else too. That's why women should always love themselves first before they can earn the love of others.”

”Young Madam, I agree with you, but in real life, men are still held to different standards than women are. For example, if a woman cheats on her spouse, she would definitely be berated for the rest of her life and her husband will very likely divorce her straight away. However, women tend to forgive their cheating husbands after they apologize to them. Women are much more traditional than men and often suffer in silence for the sake of their children.”

An Xiaoning answered, ”I don't find women who live for the sake of their children to be very noble. Each and every person is a unique individual on their own right. We ought to stay true to our morals and live for ourselves. If a woman chooses to live with an unfaithful man for the sake of money, her family, and her children, she's just forgoing her own pride and dignity. What's the point of living if you no longer have your pride or dignity? Hence, I've never depended on your Young Sir for a living. What he gives me is just a bonus to my life. I can live well on my own without him too. This was what I thought during both our divorces.”

Fan Shixin smiled and said, ”Young Madam, the more independent you are, the more Young Sir cares about you. He's worried about losing you because you seem to be able to live an exciting life even without him.”

”It's only right that we live our lives to the fullest. You can always leave your spouse if you don't want to live with them. However, you shouldn't trample on someone else's pride and dignity. It's just wrong. It's the same for both men and women. In my opinion, this has already become a serious problem in today's society.”

They soon reached the reservoir.

The reservoir was large and deep.
