Chapter 687 - In The End Reason And Conscience Defeat Selfishness (1/2)

”I've postponed him for more than 12 years. I don't want to postpone him for the rest of his life. On the one hand, I want to let both elders see the place where Zhengsheng has struggled all this time. On the other hand, I also want to treat both elders eating, having a good conversation with both of you and discussing things in my heart.”

”I'm really thinking about marriage.” Xian Guiying said. ”Everyone has selfish impulses and thoughts. Facing a good man like Wei Zhengsheng, if I am not tempted, if I am not touched, if I do not like him a little, then I will lie. But uncle and auntie, last night, some things had happened and all of a sudden I saw clearly what was in my heart. I felt that I was very scared, and just like that, I used the warmth given by someone to calm my feelings and wanted to use this to help me forget my past.”

Wei Zhengsheng, who was sitting next to her, seemed to have understood her intentions. He didn't stop Xian Guiying and just put the glass of water on the table calmly.

”I would like to apologize to uncle and auntie sincerely. I am the one who postponed your son's marriage. We have seen and gone through many things together, but I am no longer at the age of pursuing true love. I know that if I marry him like this, it will be really unfair to him and to you too.”

”I owe my apologies to you two elders.” Xian Guiying said softly, ”I will appreciate Zhengsheng's kindness for the rest of my life. Such an outstanding man will always give people warmth. He will definitely meet a beautiful girl but the girl, not me.”

”Guiying...” Mrs. Wei's eyes were a little red as she looked at her. She looked very overwhelmed. ”I really don't expect a child like you to say such words.”

”Indeed, I am also surprised that I have the courage to say this. Logically, for a woman at my age, who is divorced and has a child, to find a man like Wei Zhengsheng to marry me and love me, this is not an easy thing. I should hold onto him tightly, instead of saying this to you two elders like this. But auntie, I am also a mother. I can understand your heartache and I also respect your son's wishes. ”

”I really don't want to hurt anyone.” Xian Guiying's voice was very soft.

”We have no intention of hating you. Although Zhengsheng has indeed talked about Qianqian with us and that you don't want to have children anymore, your uncle and I originally really don't agree. But the last time we saw you, we liked you very much. You are indeed a pretty good girl, although the previous incident had let you get divorced, but we really liked Qianqian.”

Xian Guiying smiled slightly but said nothing.

”Guiying is really a good child.” Mr. Wei suddenly said. ”No matter what decision you make, we both respect you.”

With that, Mr. Wei looked at Xian Zihao with a smile. ”Mr. Xian, you really have a good little sister. She is neither coquettish nor playful. She is a child with true temperament.”

Xian Zihao smiled politely before looking at Xian Guiying, ”Have you decided?”

Xian Guiying looked up and nodded.

Then, Xian Zihao looked at Wei Zhengsheng, who was still silent. ”Zhengsheng.”

”No.” He said. Wei Zhengsheng looked at Xian Guying in the blink of an eye. There was no anger or reproach in his eyes. He just looked at her seriously for a moment and then said, ”Why did you suddenly think of that?”

Xian Guiying at first didn't want to say it, but she also didn't want to hide it from him.

”Whether he and I still have a chance to get back together or not, I can't ignore all the things about him. I have to tell myself over and over that my heart is dead and don't look back.  I really don't want to look back, but looking at him like this right now, I just realized that I couldn't do it at all.”

”You can go and help him. I won't disagree with that.”

”But is that fair to you?”

Wei Zhengsheng first wanted to say something, but when he looked at her, his words got stuck in his throat.

It was true that when married to someone else, she should not be concerned about the other man, even if the man was her ex-husband. Things like this will bother any husband, and even if he said he didn't mind, his heart would still hurt.

Since Xian Guiying didn't even know what her path will be in the future, why should she waste Wei Zhengsheng's time, feelings, and everything else on her?
