Closing the system panel and showering done, I quickly changed my clothes and went to the garage. To my surprise, Lin Yurou was also done showering and was heading out in her car which was parked here since Juan's birthday night.
Waving her goodbye, I got into my Brabus G 63 AMG 6x6 and drove towards Juan's school to pick him up.
As I drove, my thoughts wandered to Liu Wen. Why hadn't she stayed at our house after what happened between us?
I was a bit late to the school as I took my time with Yurou. Reaching school, I got out of my car and walked towards Juan'er, who was waiting for me with Liu Wen.
As I approached, Juan'er rushed towards me."Why are you late, Dad?" he asked, pouting his face. His angry expression made Liu Wen and me chuckle. I held both my ears and bent down to his height. "Sorry, Juan'er, Daddy had some urgent work to finish. Will you forgive me?" I said.
Seeing my actions, he pouted even more, looked to his side angrily, and said, "I'll forgive you this time, but as a punishment, I want ice cream from you." "Ok, ok," I said, trying to control my laugh."
"Ok, Juan'er, can you wait for me in the car? I want to talk with Teacher Liu for a minute," I said, turning my attention to Liu Wen, who had stopped chuckling.
Juan ran towards the car, happy about the ice-cream treat. I waited for him to be out of sight, then turned to Liu Wen. "Why?...Why after everything that happened between us?" I asked with a stern and serious face.
There was silence between us for a moment. She wanted to say something and opened her mouth, only to remain silent. She came close, held my hands slowly, and hugged me tightly without a word.
I could hear faint sobbing noises coming from her. I hugged her back tightly and gently kissed her forehead to comfort her. We stood there like that for some time until her sobbing disappeared.
She distanced herself from me as she came to her senses and said, "I... I can't do this. I'm going to resign as a teacher from this school and go to Hunan back to my family."
"My mother chose a man for me to marry. It was all going well without any issues until you came into my life. I don't know when, but I fell in love with you."
"Even though you are married and have a wonderful wife and a sweet child like Juan whom you love, you accepted me, and then my life became a mess."
"I love you even now, but I love my mom too and don't want to go against my one and only remaining family member and hurt her. I don't want to break your family."
"I even feel as if I'm doing something wrong by going away from you, but I can't help but do it anyway. So please let me go and forget about me," she said, suddenly kissing me with teary eyes.
After our kiss ended, I remained silent and gently looked into her eyes. "Can I at least look into the guy who's taking my heart away from me?" I asked.
"Mmh... hmm," she said and just nodded, granting me permission. She then came forward, tiptoed, kissed me again, and turned back to leave with a sad face.
Looking at her back, I silently whispered, "Is this what the saying 'She loved me enough to let me go' means?" Now I wanted her even more.
Standing there, watching her walk away, I felt a mixture of longing and helplessness. Liu Wen's words echoed in my mind. She had to make a choice, and despite the love she confessed, her sense of duty and familial obligation weighed heavily on her.
With a deep sigh, I turned and headed back to the car, where Juan'er was waiting for me, blissfully unaware of the emotional storm that had just passed. As I approached, he was beaming, his face lit up at the thought of the promised ice cream.
"Daddy, what took you so long?" he asked, his impatience now replaced with curiosity.
"Just talking to your teacher, buddy. Now, how about that ice cream?" I replied, ruffling his hair and masking my inner turmoil with a smile.
We drove to the nearest ice cream parlor, Juan'er excitedly chattering about his day at school. His happiness was contagious, and for a moment, I allowed myself to get lost in his innocent joy. We ordered our ice creams, and as he savored his favorite flavor, I couldn't help but think about the future. Liu Wen's decision to leave was final, but there was still a part of me that wanted to see her one last time, to understand the man she was supposed to marry, and perhaps, to seek closure.
After finishing our treats, we made our way back home. I helped Juan'er with his homework, his cheerful chatter a welcome distraction from the thoughts that weighed heavily on my mind.
After dinner with Shiyun, Ling'er, and Juan, I summarized the day's events, including what transpired between Liu Wen and me to Shiyun and Ling'er when Juan wasn'tpresent.
After a long talk, I found Juan and gave him a piggyback ride to his room to make him sleep early.
Later that night, after putting Juan'er to bed, I sat in my study, staring at my phone. I had Liu Wen's number saved, and for a brief moment, I contemplated calling her. But what would I say? That I wished things were different? That I couldn't imagine life without her, even though I had a family of my own?
After thinking for sometime I decided to visit hunan to make further plans. I got up from the study and went to sleep.
