After treating He Zerui’s wound, Mi Wan’s gaze glanced over at Li Bing, whose expression was despondent. Seeing her eyes remain fixed on He Zerui, as a fellow woman, although their experiences were not identical, Mi Wan could largely understand her feelings and thoughts.
Being a woman, being a woman who wants to have her own child, infertility itself is already regretful and a significant blow. But being abandoned by her husband because of it is an agony that cannot be adequately described by the words "pitiful" or "tragic." It’s likely no matter how strong-hearted a woman is, she cannot stay indifferent and will inevitably be hurt.
As the saying goes, where there is love, there is hurt!
Imagine, at the ti of marriage, receiving blessings from friends and family, making solemn and sincere vows that moved hearts together. But in the end, those romantic and touching vows and the love that once moved oneself turned into a sharp knife, deeply wounding the heart, telling you it was all a joke! "Regardless of sickness and health, till death do us part" seed like nothing more than a fart, fading away after the sound, leaving no trace.
Just like with her and Song Guotao, who once swore they could accept any of her flaws and imperfections. But what was the reality? In his eyes, she was just a worn-out shoe. This fact hurt and humiliated her far more than him having another woman outside.
Thinking of this, Mi Wan rembered what her mother said when she gave her a business card before she went out. Won, divorce isn’t scary; finding another man who cherishes you can still bring happiness. Then her mom ntioned arranged etings, emphasizing over and over that the man was good and she should seize the opportunity.
"Bingbing, do you want to go to an arranged eting?" Mi Wan had accompanied Mi Jing once for an arranged eting; the scene was uncomfortable even though she wasn’t the one directly involved. Two strangers had to talk intimately, answering each other’s nerve-wracking questions they wouldn’t usually share with a stranger.
Because of this, like Mi Jing, Mi Wan was very averse to arranged etings regardless of how good the man’s conditions were. Just thinking of sitting face-to-face with soone who might want to ask about her whole life made her feel the awkward and uncomfortable atmosphere.
"I have considered it. Colleagues suggested introducing soone to , but given my situation, I think it’s better to forget it!" Li Bing didn’t hide anything from Mi Wan and honestly expressed her thoughts.
Upon hearing, Mi Wan smiled and said, "Don’t keep dwelling on the past. Not every man in this world is keen on having kids. There are many n who already have children and are looking to remarry, so your issue, in a certain sense, isn’t really an issue at all."
"Haha, what you say makes sense. But why the sudden interest in asking this?" Li Bing asked skeptically.
"My mom arranged an introduction for . This is the person’s business card; take a look." Mi Wan took out the card from her bag and handed it to Li Bing.
"It looks good; you should go et him." After looking at the card, Li Bing felt the person’s conditions were quite good; he worked at a TV station and was a supervisor, potentially knowledgeable with economic stability.
"I don’t want to go. How about I accompany you to et him? Whether suitable or not, we’ll think and decide after you’ve t him; what do you think?"
"This... this is the person Auntie introduced to you; how could I..."
Li Bing looked troubled, but Mi Wan said, "I’ve just divorced and don’t want to consider remarriage now. I accepted the card simply to avoid my mom’s nagging. So, you don’t need to feel any psychological burden. If you think it’s okay, we can arrange to et him soti."
"Alright." Li Bing agreed readily without any pretense.
After the two agreed, Mi Wan shifted her attention to He Zerui. She chatted with him briefly, noting he hadn’t eaten lunch yet. She then went into the kitchen and cooked him a bowl of noodles according to his preferred taste. Only after he was full did Mi Wan take him ho.
Arriving at the He Family’s door, before she pressed the doorbell, soone ran out to open the door.
"Young Master!"
"Is Uncle back yet?" He Zerui looked at the man standing by the door and asked deeply. Though rely a child, the authority and nobility he exuded were often unmatched by adults, making one awestruck.
"N-no." The man stamred.
So young, yet so authoritative!
Mi Wan couldn’t help but marvel. But then He Zerui suddenly raised his hand and addressed Mi Wan, "Sister, do you think the curtains on our second floor are nice?"
Curtains?
He Zerui’s question baffled Mi Wan, making her wonder. But she raised her head simultaneously.
At around two in the afternoon, though winter, the sun was sowhat glaring. Faintly, Mi Wan felt she saw a shadow flash past the second-floor window, then disappear behind the curtains. Surprised, she blinked and looked again but saw nothing of the previous fleeting scene.
What was happening today?
Mi Wan frowned, thinking she was hallucinating, so she didn’t pay much attention and smiled at He Zerui, replying, "They look quite nice."
"Oh." A strange color flashed in He Zerui’s eyes, then he said, "Uncle and I chose the curtains together."
Hearing this, Mi Wan smiled again and said, "You must have a great relationship with your uncle."
"Yes, it’s quite good." He Zerui slightly turned his body and invited, "Sister, do you have other things to do? If not, why don’t you co in and sit for a while?"
"No, I won’t sit."
Li i’s case still needed her to follow up, so Mi Wan refused He Zerui’s invitation and said, "Zerui, Auntie will co to see you another day when she’s free. If you’re bored at ho, you can co to Auntie’s house to play. Sotis, I might not be ho, but Li Bing Auntie will be. Also, don’t forget; it’s best to keep the wound dry."
Though rely a small wound and children usually heal quickly, Mi Wan still reminded He Zerui ticulously. She didn’t treat him as a stranger she just t but showed friendly concern and the care of an elder towards a younger.
Probably because she had children herself, she naturally felt a sense of unrestrainable concern for children.
"Alright, see you next ti." He Zerui pressed his lips, revealing a rare smile.
He Zerui stood at the door, watching Mi Wan’s figure leave. After a while, he suddenly raised his head. At the second-floor window, half-open before, a tall figure had appeared.
