Chapter 417
They hadn’t known each other for long, but felt very compatible, so they got married.
Once married, they began to busy themselves with life. Over the years, they had always supported each other, yet they never once said whether they loved each other or not.
“I don’t understand the love of you young people. In my view, just being able to spend a lifetime together is enough,” she explained.
An Ruo understood then.
Aunt Zhou and her husband didn’t have a passionate love; their life was plain and simple. Perhaps, in their eyes, this was love.
In everyone’s eyes, the definition of love is different.
Aunt Zhou was also right; being able to be with someone for a lifetime was enough, so why should she chase after a pure love? Without love, one could still marry and have a life together.
Realizing all this, An Ruo’s mindset broadened significantly.
She should let go of the past and should not dwell on such worldly things as love.
Without love, no one dies, after all. How life goes depends on your own attitude.
After all, she was the strong, simple An Ruo who always looked forward.
So, hang in there, don’t worry about anything else, just focus on living each day well.
With a relaxed mindset, An Ruo was no longer so bothered by Tang Yuchen’s betrayal.
Actually, there was nothing to mind. He didn’t love her, and a divorce was inevitable. If she kept grieving about it, she would just be wasting her prime years.
Having reached this understanding, when He Yuan called to ask her out, she didn’t refuse.
If they couldn’t be lovers, they could still be friends.
Sitting in the restaurant, listening to He Yuan recount his stories, An Ruo laughed heartily.
He Yuan feigned misery, “I was so miserable back then. If you don’t sympathize with me, fine, but why laugh so heartily?”
The stories he shared with An Ruo were about his struggles with his family for his previous lover.
An Ruo kept laughing until tears flowed, “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to laugh, but it’s just so funny. I really admire your courage, and how can you be so assertive?”
Seeing her laughter, He Yuan couldn’t help but smile.
“Why can’t I be assertive? Is it wrong to love someone? An Ruo, love is innocent.”
An Ruo nodded hurriedly, “Right, you are so right. So what happened next, why did you guys break up?”
He Yuan smiled bitterly, “He didn’t love me anymore, so we broke up.”
An Ruo could no longer laugh, thinking about being abandoned by a loved one; he must have been very hurt.
Seeing the pity on her face, He Yuan said bearishly, “An Ruo, I’m not pitiful, you don’t need to look at me like that. Although he doesn’t love me anymore, I don’t blame him. Affairs of the heart are unpredictable. However, I know that he did love me once, and that’s enough.”
“You’re very open-minded,” An Ruo sincerely smiled.
“You’re quite unique,” He Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly, “You’re the only woman I’ve ever met who went on blind dates while visibly pregnant. I really admire your courage.”
Any other woman certainly wouldn’t be able to step out of the past’s shadow.
An Ruo smiled faintly; she wasn’t as courageous as imagined. She was just indifferent, and thus fearless.
After their meal, the two walked out of the restaurant.
It had just rained outside, and the ground was wet and slightly slippery.
He Yuan, worried that An Ruo might slip, reached out to support her. An Ruo didn’t refuse and thanked him with a smile.
Just then, a figure quickly approached them, grabbed An Ruo’s arm and pulled her away from He Yuan.
