Luo Zhiyong paused his hand resting on Fang Pingying when he heard her words. The playful expression on his face vanished. He stood up and sat by the edge of the bathtub, pressing his temples with a hint of frustration in his voice, "Didn’t I tell you before? I don’t care who she is. I never wanted to find her."
Fang Pingying turned around to face him, her eyes eting his directly, "Zhiyong, ask yourself honestly. Do you really not want to know who she is? Don’t you want to know how she’s doing now?"
Luo Zhiyong glanced at Fang Pingying without speaking. In fact, his heart was not as calm and unwavering as he appeared on the surface. To so extent, he did want to know sothing about his biological mother.
Especially now, faced with his wife, Luo Zhiyong felt there was no need to hide so things, and since Fang Pingying said she had found her, he directly asked, "Who is it?"
"Soone from the Liu family," Fang Pingying explained clearly to him, "Liu Fengsheng’s aunt, the one who ca to our house with Mrs. Liu last ti. Didn’t I tell you then, that her look at you seed a bit off? Actually, I already had so suspicions through so clues, so afterwards I asked soone to check, and as it turns out, it was quite a coincidence."
"It’s her?" Luo Zhiyong recalled eting Xiutao that day. Although he hadn’t paid special attention to her, he had seen her picture before, and with his keen military senses, he noticed sothing. He hesitantly said, "Judging from her appearance, it seems like her life hasn’t been easy these years."
"Yes, in fact, she really hasn’t had it easy these past years. She..." Fang Pingying did not hide the truth from him and told him everything about Xiutao in detail.
Luo Zhiyong, after hearing everything, was unsure how he felt.
To say he was upset seed unreasonable; after all, she was soone who abandoned him as a child, leaving him to live so many years under Zhou Yuni without experiencing real motherly love. Whether her life was good or not, he never thought about what compensation or anything else she would provide him now, and he didn’t need it either.
But to say he was gloating wasn’t quite right either. Even as a stranger, knowing that she had lived such a tragic life all these years, there was bound to be a sense of sympathy that arose in his heart.
So, at this mont, Luo Zhiyong was very conflicted, unsure of what he was truly thinking.
He stayed silent for a long while before he softly said, "If she had known it would end up like this, why do it back then? If she had stayed with my father, even if life was harder, it wouldn’t have been this way."
Fang Pingying nodded in complete agreent with Luo Zhiyong’s words, "That’s why I always say, people should learn to cherish what they have, not always thinking there’s sothing better out there. As long as you’re happy, it doesn’t matter who it is. This life, marrying our dad, as long as she appreciated what she had, life wouldn’t have been too bad."
Except, Luo Dashan’s life wasn’t truly fortunate.
The first one, Xiutao, didn’t cherish his kindness. She left him despite how much he loved her, so she couldn’t bla anyone else for the way she’s ended up.
The second one, Zhou Yuni, fundantally didn’t know what it ant to appreciate fortune. So, in Fang Pingying’s view, Zhou Yuni’s outco probably wouldn’t be good either.
Luo Zhiyong thought about his honest and loyal father, who aside from lacking boldness and not knowing how to handle family matters, didn’t really have other major flaws.
He nodded towards Fang Pingying, "Yeah."
Fang Pingying fell silent for a mont, then brought up Xiutao’s situation again, "Have you thought about eting her?"
Luo Zhiyong thought for a mont, then expressed his deepest thoughts, "It doesn’t matter. eting or not won’t change anything. It’s fine as it is. If fate brings us together, a eting wouldn’t be a big deal. If not, so be it. We each have our own families, and there’s no need to interfere with each other’s lives."
"Mmm, I respect your decision. Whatever you choose is fine." Fang Pingying promised she wouldn’t force Luo Zhiyong to do anything about this matter. She smiled at him, "No matter what, rember, you always have and our children by your side. We are your safe harbor."
Perhaps because talking about his biological mother made Luo Zhiyong especially vulnerable, when he heard Fang Pingying’s words, his nose tingled slightly. He reached out and pulled her into his arms, softly saying, "Pingying, thinking about it, we almost missed each other back then. It’s truly frightening. If I didn’t cherish what we have then, perhaps today our fate would be like my dad’s."
Fang Pingying laughed softly at this, neither confirming nor denying his statent, of course. She and Xiutao were not the sa kind of person and would never place herself in such a situation.
However, Luo Zhiyong’s words filled her with a strong sense of happiness. For a woman, these kinds of love words were the sweetest.
She laughed gleefully at Luo Zhiyong, "If it weren’t for soone being so shaless, perhaps it would be."
Hearing this, Luo Zhiyong lowered his head to bite her lip lightly and whispered, "Who’s shaless?"
Seeing their lips about to et again, unlike before, this ti it was in a tender, affectionate manner, neither hurried nor too slow.
Fortunately, it wasn’t rushed, because as the couple was expressing their affection, Fang Pingying suddenly noticed a small figure standing at the entrance, watching them with wide eyes.
Instinctively, Fang Pingying pushed Luo Zhiyong off her and, blushing, waved to Yaoyao standing at the door, "Why aren’t you asleep yet, Yaoyao?"
Yaoyao kept staring at them, then rolled her eyes, took a step into the bathroom, and asked curiously, "Mommy, what are you and Daddy doing?"
Caught in the act, Fang Pingying was too embarrassed to answer, so she glared fiercely at Luo Zhiyong, blaming him in her heart. It was bad enough this man wanted to do naughty things, but why didn’t he close the door, letting the little one burst in just like that.
Luo Zhiyong, caught off guard just now, was pushed to the ground losing his balance, but thanks to his military training, he managed to steady himself without falling over. He walked towards Yaoyao, coaxing the little one, "Actually, we weren’t doing anything. Your mom was just taking a bath, and she felt her shoulders were sore, so she asked Daddy to massage them."
This little one didn’t buy it at all, scrutinizing both with suspicious eyes, questioning, "Massage shoulders, does that an Mommy and Daddy don’t wear clothes?"
"Uh..." Their faces both turned crimson up to their necks at this question, and in her extre embarrassnt, Fang Pingying gave Luo Zhiyong a sharp pinch on the leg.
