Chapter 2288 (2/2)

“And for a woman’s life, the most carefree period is before they get married.” Du Yiqin caressed Shi Xiaoya’s hair and said, “But you have to grow up, and you can’t be a little girl forever. There are many words and thoughts filled with heartache that I want to tell Zhuoling about too. But I won’t be able to say them, so I’ll let your dad and your older brother say them.”

“Mom…” Shi Xiaoya felt like she was about to cry.

Du Yiqin was sitting right beside her. Shi Xiaoya held her elbow, leaning her forehead on Du Yiqin’s shoulder.

When Du Yiqin said those things, Shi Xiaoya felt a little like she did not want to get married anymore.

She just wanted to keep staying by her parents’ side.

Gradually, she would be able to empathize with Du Yiqin’s feelings.

But she did not have children yet, so she might not be able to empathize completely.

Yet this already made her want to cry.

Han Zhuoling was on the opposite side. Although he was listening closely to Shi Guanzhong and Shi Nancang’s words, he was also paying special attention to Shi Xiaoya.

When he saw Shi Xiaoya’s reaction, he instantly felt alarmed.

Must not let Shi Xiaoya regret it!

He still hadn’t made her his wife yet!

Hadn’t Du Yiqin always been his teammate?

Why did she drag him down today!

Han Zhuoling instantly said very seriously and somberly to Du Yiqin, “Mom, rest assured. I will make sure that even after marriage, Xiaoya will be as relaxed and as carefree as she was before marriage.”
