Lin Shiheng, however, seed to be reminded and knelt again.
Only this ti, he knelt by Fang Lichengs bedside.
Brother Heng, what are you doing?!
Fang Licheng exclaid and quickly reached out to pull him up. Mother Fang knew what he would say and gripped the handkerchief into a tangle, not knowing what to do.
Aunt, can you go out, please? I would like to discuss this with Sister.
Mother Fang looked at him, then at her daughters confused expression. She gritted her teeth, agreed, turned, and closed the door.
Fang Licheng watched her mother leaving the room and then looked at Lin Shiheng kneeling on the floor with confused eyes. She only felt like sothing happenecl between them, sothing she didnt know.
Lin Shihengs eyes tolcl her that he was going to say sothing very important.
What was it?
As she was thinking, she heard the handso young man kneeling on the ground ask, "Have you ever thought about remarrying?
Fang Licheng was in a trance for a mont, and her eyes dimcl down. These clays, she had a comfortable life and had never thought about the future. Now that she was reminded of it, she didnt know how to answer.
Sister, I know that the world is difficult now, especially for won. If Sister wants to live in residence for life, I am also willing to support Sister for a lifeti. But has Sister ever thought about leaving your own mark in this chaotic world?
When these words ca out, Fang Licheng, whose heart was already in turmoil, beca even more troublecl.
Brother Heng, what do you an by this?
Today is no longer the old society; won can also work with n in general. It's only because of the nastiness that you and I both know that unmarried won who show their faces will be badly laughed at, let alone Sister who is divorced with a little nephew,
Even if the Shen family is ruined, the news of Sisters divorce with Shen Yunqing is well known all over the world. As long as you dont remarry for a day, everything about you will still be about Shen Yunqing in everyones eyes. Even my little nephew can be taken away at any ti if he wants to because he is the father of the child and has a blood relationship. Sister, you know that, otherwise, when I went to the Shen family to pick you up that day, you wouldnt have left little nephew in the room...
The gloom in Fang Lichengs eyes cleepened, I know that the Shen family values bloodlines, and Im afraid there might be a few more argunts about where this child belongs.
Lin Shiheng pursed his lips, and this ti the words ca out a little faster.
Shen Yunqing is the childs father in the end. Even if we are disgusted with him, destroying him before the child grows up isnt good. Im confident that he cant beat us, but such an annoying green-headed fly is still disgusting.
Fang Licheng didnt think it was arrogant to say sothing like beating and destroying Shen Yunqing when he was only fifteen years old today. These clays, although she never got out of bed, she was clearly able to see what Lin Shiheng had done.
Just like what she said to convince her mother earlier, Lin Shiheng was no longer a child but a man capable of taking charge of his own life.
Its just that she didnt understand why Lin Shiheng wantecl to tell her this.
Was he telling her to remarry?
Without Fang Licheng having to think about it, Lin Shiheng himself spelled out his purpose.
So, please, Sister, marry .
At these words, the whole room fell silent.
After a long ti, he heard Fang Lichengs murmur.
Brother Heng, do you... do you know what you are talking about?
Lin Shiheng resolutely t her gaze. I know what Im doing, ancl Im not hiding it from Sister. I have no interest in the affairs of n and won, and now that the country is in trouble, I just want to protect my family and defend my country. Instead of marrying a woman and leaving her, I'd rather not marry for life.
Sister lacks a husband, I lack a wife, and we grew up together since childhoocl. We know each others temperant. If we could live together, then why not?
Fang Licheng almost thought she was dreaming. It was just that she couldnt tell what kind of clream this was.
She pinched her brow to clear her head a bit more.
Youre young, and you have been detained in studies since childhood. Its normal to be unreasonable, but you should never be unreasonable all the ti. I know what you are thinking. You want to support , but you will et soone you like one day. When the ti cos, wouldnt it be even more awkward then?
Sister is referring to how Shen Yunqing now likes Ren Fuling?
Talking about these two people, Lin Shihengs face inevitably carried so ridicule, Like the two of them. Sooner or later, Shen Yunqing will abandon her just like he did to Sister, just for another reason.
Theres no lack of faithful love in this world, but its too rare. Im preoccupied with my career and dont want to waste my ti on it.
Fang Licheng knew that. She never expected any love, and agreeing to Lin Shiheng would do her no harm. But she didnt want to mislead him just like that.
Brother Heng, listen to . You are just a brother to . Wouldnt being together feel strange for us?
Why is it strange?"
Lin Shiheng said, When I was young, Aunt ancl Uncle had the intention of marrying us. At that ti, Sister was my future bride in my heart, and I thought about how we should live our lives in the future. Now, its just a matter of postponing our destiny until now.
Thats not how it works.
Fang Licheng was surprised that there was such a thing when she was a child, but at the sa ti, she felt helpless by his persistence.
I know you want to help , but youre too young. If you were five years olcler. maybe I could consider it seriously. But youre only 15, and you still dont understand many things..."
Seeing Lin Shiheng stubbornly pursing his lips and showing defiance in his eyes, Fang Lichengs heart relaxed and felt even more that he was a teenager at heart. Helplessly she reached out her hand, as she did when he was a chilcl. and gently stroked his head.
When youre older, you will understand that marrying soone isnt so simple."
If nothing else, just say that if you and I get married, what will happen to my child with Shen Yunqing?"
Whats wrong with gaining a child for nothing?
Lin Shiheng answered quickly this ti, A nurturing grace is always larger than a birthing grace. I will bring him up and make him filial to us.
So childish.
Fang Licheng no longer felt helpless. She shook her head in favor and amusent. I only treat you as a child. You shoulcln t think about it. When youre older, let Mother choose a good marriage. Dont ntion it with others in the future, okay?"
She wanted to coax him, but Lin Shiheng wasnt so easy to coax. He just asks, Sister doesnt want
because Im young?
Its not a matter of being young or not; its that you dont understand so things now. If I agree with you now, when youre a little older, you will regret it."
But you just told Aunt that Im not a child anymore.
Fang Licheng coaxed patiently, 15 years old is different from 20 years old. Sister knows in her heart that when I was 15 years old, I likecl to think about strange things. Now. I know how ridiculous I was at that ti.
Well. then wait until Im 20 years old. If at that ti, Sister hasnt remarried, ancl the situation of won being alone hasnt changed. Please, Sister, marry .
Fang Licheng shook her head, I cant promise you. You have always been faithful to a promise. If I promise, you wont consider other people for these five years. It would be a mistake.
All right. get up quickly. Does Mother know about this matter? Ill go talk to Mother later: you shouldnt ntion this matter again to avoid embarrassnt between us when you understand in the future."
Lin Shiheng stood up obediently but still refused to relent, 5 years later, I will definitely co back to marry Sister in style. I only hope Sister would agree to
if you havent remarried by then."
When he finished speaking, he turned ancl went out of the door, leaving Fang Licheng on the bed staring blankly at his back as he left, holding the child in her arms.
If she married Brother Heng ...
In fact, when she was a child. she also thought about whether her parents would betroth her to Brother Heng. At that ti, she thought that if she married him, she would take good care of him. They grew up together, they played together, and the days would be smooth.
She never thought that he would feel the sa way.
Just as her eyes showed so warmth and emotion, Fang Licheng ca to her senses and looked down at the child moving his mouth and humd softly to lull him to sleep.
If she hadnt been married once, she would certainly have agreed.
But she would be remarrying with a child.
Why was it difficult for a woman to marry? Besides unexpected things happening to the man, if soone married a person who had married before, they will have to face gossip ancl be ridiculed and laughed at.
It was okay for farming families because they rarely talk about these things.
But in the upper class of Jin City, there hacl never been a young master that married a divorced woman.
Brother Heng was capable. She coulcln t wrong him and let him be laughed at for no reason.
Tears gradually blurred fang Lichengs eyes. She hastily wiped them away and continued humming the song.
Why was she thinking so much?
Hes just a young man. After 4 or 5 years, he wont ntion it again.
Lin Shiheng left ho shortly afterward. With tears in her eyes, Mother Fang packed his bag and watched him leave the house.
Fang Licheng was still in confinent and couldnt get out of bed. She could only endure and wait for Mother Fang to co back.
Did you send him off?"
Yes, I sent him off."
Mother Fang wiped her tears, and her voice choked up, I just dont know when we will see each other after this farewell.
Soon, Brother Heng is smart and will surely be able to return ho soon."
Fang Licheng took her hand to comfort her. She didnt expect this farewell would last for five years.
In the fifth year, the war was intense. People heard that the fighting was both at ho and abroad, but the upper class of Jin City still looked like it was born in a peaceful and prosperous age and was obsessed with eating, drinking, and having fun.
Outside the city, Lin Shiheng sat on a tall horse with a gun at his waist. He was dressed as a Marshal, followed by people behincl him, squinting at the towering city walls in the distance.
