Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Mu Jingzhe paused when she heard Li Zhaodi’s words, then raised her head to look at her. “Mom, haven’t I been married before? Look, my wedding ring is still there. What else can I think of or plan?”

Seeing that Li Zhaodi’s expression didn’t look good, Mu Jingzhe spread her arms and hugged her. “Mom, stop thinking about this. I already said that I’d only have one wedding, so your daughter is already married. Besides, it’s the kind of husband I can’t divorce before I die. After all, if I wanted a divorce, I’d have to go to the netherworld. You know that too.”

“I’m being serious.” Li Zhaodi got mad. She felt terrible when she thought of Mu Jingzhe holding the little doll every day and treating it as though it was Ji Buwang. That was just a little thing. How could it possibly replace a human?

Mu Jingzhe sighed. “Mom, I’m being serious too. The last time I got married, I wasn’t joking. I married Ji Buwang. You can’t make me turn him into a cuckold just because your son-in-law can’t do anything about this. Aren’t you afraid that he’ll get angry and come look for you tonight?”

Mu Jingzhe knew that Li Zhaodi believed these things, so she deliberately tried to scare her. Unexpectedly, Li Zhaodi freed herself from her hand and didn’t seem afraid at all. “I’m not afraid. Let him come. If there’s any blame to assign, blame it on me. He can’t blame you. He can come and look for me. All of this is my fault. I let him down even though he called me ‘Mom’, but I believe he can understand my feelings because he definitely wants you to live a normal life too. He does not want you to torture yourself like this.”

Li Zhaodi was aware of Ji Buwang’s intentions.

Mu Jingzhe was silent for a moment. “I’m not torturing myself or suffering. I’m doing quite well now. I’m living a carefree life and I have money. There’s nothing bad about it. Why do I have to get married to be considered blissful?”

This life was simply the biggest dream in society.

Mu Jingzhe sighed with emotion. Seeing that Li Zhaodi still didn’t look good, she quickly retracted her words. “Mom, what I said just now was really not a joke. I’m serious. Do you remember what the fortune-teller said? She said that Ji Buwang and I would be married for three lifetimes. It’s only been one lifetime now, and there are still two more lifetimes to go.

“I only have one husband, Ji Buwang. He won’t make a mistake. He will definitely wait for me. In our next life, we might be able to find each other and be husband and wife again.”

She held Li Zhaodi’s hand. “When the time comes, Mom, you’ll still be my mother, Dad will still be my father, and Mu Han will be my brother. We’ll still be a family. When we find Ji Buwang, he’ll still be your son-in-law. Doesn’t that sound good?”

Of course it did, but how could Li Zhaodi know what would happen in her next life? Right now, she only wanted to deal with what was in front of her. “Didn’t you refuse to believe in these things in the past? Now, you only know how to bluff.”

“I’m not bluffing. I believe it now.” She did believe it now. Mu Jingzhe shook Li Zhaodi’s hand. “Alright, Mom, don’t think too much about it. I think things are pretty good the way they are now. There’s you and Dad and the five kids.

“They’re still young now. In the future, when they grow up, they’ll have their own jobs and personal life. If we leave you too, what will you do?

“You and Dad are in such good health now, so you won’t leave us so early. Besides, how can you bear to leave when you’re not done traveling around the world yet? That’s why you’ll live a long life. As for the possibility of you feeling lonely, that won’t happen. Little Dong and the others are busy, but they’ll still give me grandchildren.

“If the five kids have one child each at the same time, there will be five grandchildren. If they have two each, there will be ten. I’m even afraid that there will be too many grandkids and I will have my hands full. I won’t be alone, though.”

Knowing that she wouldn’t be able to convince Mu Jingzhe, Li Zhaodi felt helpless. “Jingzhe, do you dislike Shao Qihai that much?”

“I like him. He’s a good person, but it’s impossible for anything to happen between me and Shao Qihai. He knows it too.”

Shao Qihai was a really good person. He was also her savior. Back then, he had gone to save her without hesitation. Jiang Feng had helped too. Jiang Feng had had a conflict with her before because of his ex-wife. However, like Shao Qihai, he was actually a very good person.

In the past few years, Shao Qihai had been very good to the five kids. He was a great person and a great father. Presumably, he would make a great husband too, but nothing would ever happen between her and Shao Qihai.

She had made things clear to Shao Qihai two years ago. At the time, the people around her had advised them. Seeing that Shao Qihai had never started another relationship, she had taken the opportunity to make things clear. She had said that a relationship was completely impossible between them, and Shao Qihai knew that too.

Mu Jingzhe left after making things clear to Li Zhaodi. Li Zhaodi looked at her back as she left and sighed. “What should I do about you?”

Mu Jingzhe didn’t even turn around. “Mom, stop sighing. Be careful, or Buwang will come to look for you at night.”

Li Zhaodi shouted angrily, “Let him come! I’m not scared!”

Mu Jingzhe didn’t reply this time. Li Zhaodi looked at the gold bracelet on her arm, then at her wealthy home, and sighed.

For the past two years, Li Zhaodi had spent most of her days very happily, as she was living a blissful life that she had never imagined. Only in the dead of the night, when she thought of Ji Buwang and Mu Jingzhe’s white hair, would she feel terrible.

Ji Buwang had been so great. As a mother, she could understand that Mu Jingzhe couldn’t forget him, but she didn’t want her daughter to be alone.

As for Shao Qihai, he had been waiting for Mu Jingzhe all this time. Although he wouldn’t say it, he had been silently taking care of her and waiting for her all these years.

Seeing Shao Qihai’s performance in the past few years, Li Zhaodi felt that he was actually not bad, and it might be nice for her daughter to be with him. After privately discussing it with Mu Teng, she felt that she should be more selfish and not let Jingzhe die alone.

Because of this thought, they felt that they had let down Ji Buwang, who was up there. Therefore, right from the start, Li Zhaodi and Mu Teng would secretly go to see Ji Buwang whenever they had nothing to do. They would make him his favorite foods and discuss this with him. They had let him down, but this couldn’t be blamed on Jingzhe. It was their selfishness as parents.

They only hoped that Ji Buwang wouldn’t feel terrible. If he really had to blame someone, Li Zhaodi and Mu Teng would rather he blamed them.

In the end, although they kept apologizing to Ji Buwang for two years, Jingzhe still didn’t change her mind.

It was impossible for Li Zhaodi and Mu Teng to force Mu Jingzhe to get married, so they could only suppress the longing in their hearts.

After returning from an overseas trip and witnessing life overseas, Li Zhaodi and Mu Teng went around bragging and forgot about this matter for some time. However, because of the five kids, they still felt uneasy when they met Shao Qihai again.

Over the past few years, Shao Qihai had become more and more mature. He didn’t seem to have aged, but he was becoming more and more imposing. Many women had their eyes on him. There were even some young ladies who didn’t mind that he had children. He was quite popular.

This was understandable. The main reason was that he was good-looking and had a successful career.

However, Shao Qihai didn’t intend to find someone. Usually, the only person he cared about was Jingzhe. He was quite respectful to Mu Teng and Li Zhaodi and secretly took care of them.

Now that they had met, Li Zhaodi recalled Mu Jingzhe’s words and couldn’t help but ask, “Qihai, do you plan to get married?”

Shao Qihai paused.. “No.”
