After reading my mind, Daddy, why don't you smile?

He said hoarsely: "You don't have to compare with her."

Zhao Ying shook her head. "We still have to compare. She and I both adore you, so how can we not compare? It's just that... I have always been an outsider in your love!"

"Zhao Yao was injured today. I saw your expression and knew your true feelings..."

"You are so anxious and in so much pain, as if you don't want to live anymore if she dies..."

Shangguan Shu's brows gradually furrowed.

This... is talking about him?

"I've never seen you like this before..."

"I just realized now that you only felt pity and guilt towards me, but your love for her was unforgettable!"

Zhao Ying's face was full of melancholy.

Shangguan Shu's tone was a little confused, "Is it...?"

Zhao Ying looked at him helplessly after hearing what he said. "Just like today, although you let her misunderstand your heart, I understand that you... love her deeply and criticize her harshly! Because you love her, you criticize her in every way. Because you love her, you are strict with Zhao Yao's children, because you already treat them as your own children."

Zhao Ying sighed and said regretfully: "This is your biological child, but you spoil and indulge him. You should know that spoiling a child is like killing him..."

Ever since Shangguan Shu was provoked by Zhao Ying last time, his memories have been mixed up, and the system has been trying to invade again... His mind was not very clear to begin with, and at this moment he was completely confused by what Zhao Ying said.

He scratched his head and sighed, "But... seeing Yue'er crying like that, I was anxious and angry..."

"That's right! You never like children crying, you must be annoyed!"

After Zhao Ying finished speaking, he silently admired himself in his heart.

Shangguan Shu blinked blankly.

After a while, he smiled noncommittally, "Maybe..."

But he was still a little confused, so he asked without thinking.

"Even if it's like what you said...but I've seen my third brother and his wife being very close in love. My third brother once said in private that if he loves a woman, he just wants to be with her, and he would be jealous when he sees her being with other men..."

Zhao Ying turned her head and glanced at him slowly.

Shangguan Shu said sincerely, "But I have never felt this way towards Huai'an."

Zhao Ying was also confused.

I asked subconsciously, "Really?"

Shangguan Shu shook his head.

Zhao Ying didn't believe it, "You...haven't had sex before?"

Shangguan Shu's eyebrows suddenly furrowed, "Now that things have come to this, why would I lie to you about this?"

"It's also..."

On the last night before the divorce, there was no need to hide.

Zhao Ying took a deep breath and continued to make up, "This is... normal. Because Huai'an is a nun who is not tainted by the world. You love her, so you can't bear to blaspheme her! It shows that you are a true gentleman!"

Shangguan Shu: ...This is the first time someone has called him a gentleman...

Shangguan Shu asked back, "Don't you always think that I'm... a beast?"

Zhao Ying: ...

"A man is a gentleman in front of the woman he loves. Because you don't love me, you behave like a..." Zhao Ying was too lazy to say anything. He was more than a beast, he was a beast!

Seeing that Shangguan Shu was not convinced, Zhao Ying continued, "You regard Huai'an as the most pure and innocent woman in the world. Because you love her, you dare not defile her in the slightest!"

Shangguan Shu: The most pure and innocent woman? She has given birth to three children...

"I don't!"

"You have!"

"I do not have……"

"If I say you have it, then you have it!"

Shangguan Shu was helpless and curled the corners of his lips.

Zhao Ying: "As for the jealousy..."

Shangguan Shu raised his eyebrows and looked at her with interest.

"This is about trust. You trust her, so you won't be jealous. You know, trust is true love!"

Shangguan Shu paused for a while, then suddenly asked, "Have you ever been jealous of me?"

Zhao Ying frowned, wondering why he asked this. She thought about it and answered truthfully, "I'm jealous..."

"When?"

"...When you sent troops to pick up Huai'an..."

Shangguan Shu said softly, "Oh," and said, "You're jealous...According to what you said, you just don't love me!"

Zhao Ying: ...

Her eyebrows furrowed even deeper. Before she could think of how to answer, Shangguan Shu said aggressively, "Last time you said you had always loved me, and that you would come back after the divorce... You lied to me!"

Zhao Ying: ...

"I just lied to you. I've never been jealous!"

Shangguan Shu smiled mysteriously.

Zhao Ying's eyes hurt because of his smile. She gritted her teeth and said, "You shouldn't have listened to your third brother! Does he know what love is? If he did, could he have brought back a pig demon?!"

"If he really loves the pig demon, he shouldn't despise him! Just like you do to Huai'an. With Huai'an's appearance, have you ever despised her?"

Shangguan Shu thought about it seriously, then shook his head.

Zhao Ying officially closed the case, "That's right! You love Huai'an deeply!"

"In that case, you shouldn't let the woman you love get drunk late at night and let other men see her charm. She will break your heart if she does that..."

Shangguan Shu's eyebrows were twisted into a knot, "Who told you these words..."

Zhao Ying said as a matter of course, "My mother..."

"My mother sang this ballad to lull me to sleep when I was a child!"

Shangguan Shu understood again.

He understood why Zhao Ying always hummed some unheard-of tunes to lull her children to sleep.

After Zhao Ying finished speaking, she was about to leave.

Unexpectedly, Shangguan Shu grabbed her arm again, and Zhao Ying turned around to look.

Shangguan Shu stared at her intently, looking angry and panicked. He asked urgently, "Is it really as you said?"

Zhao Ying was speechless, "She is your beloved childhood sweetheart, and you even rebelled against your elder brother for her!"

Shangguan Shu panicked even more. He let her go and suddenly covered his face, "I'm really confused... I'm so panicked..."

Shangguan Shu revealed his vulnerability to Zhao Ying for the first time.

In fact, he was shocked by an idea that popped up in his mind recently.

He actually felt that... he was not planning a rebellion for Zhao Yao...

He actually felt that... there was a woman who was the one he truly loved.

He loved that woman, but he thought it was Zhao Yao...

His impulse and belief in rebellion was to get that woman...

It's ridiculous...

What’s even more ridiculous is… he thought that woman was Zhao Ying.

Obviously...he had never had any contact with Zhao Ying before she came of age. He had no memory of this, so how could he talk about love?

It couldn't possibly be Zhao Ying!

Zhao Ying also lost his patience and lowered his voice, "Don't think about anything else. While there is still time, cherish the person in front of you! The person in front of you is in the room behind you."

Shangguan Shu looked up at her, his eyes moist, like an abandoned dog. Seeing Zhao Ying's impatient expression, the softness in his eyes faded away in an instant, and he became cold, "Don't worry, I will."

That’s right, it’s not worth his concern whether he loves her or not.

How can a real man be obsessed with love?

"Tomorrow morning, we will go and make peace!"

Zhao Ying felt completely relieved after hearing this.
