Time Travel: The Queen's Coronation

I was undecided about this marriage, and Zhao Xinyu's words kept echoing in my ears, making it even more difficult for me to make a decision. After careful consideration, I finally asked Xu Jing to rescind her statement, chose to forgive Shen Junhui, and continued the engagement.

"Are you crazy? Why would you go back to a man like this? Haven't you suffered enough from Rong Zixuan? Do you want to go through the pain of marriage again? When did you become a masochist?" Xu Jing didn't understand my behavior.

"Firstly, I still have feelings for him, and secondly, his grandfather gave me an additional 6% of Haoyang's shares! I have to make a choice and put myself in a difficult position to forgive him this time!"

"Do you need this 6% stake?"

"I don't need it, but why not take it if it's given to me for free?"

"Give it for free? You are selling it to the Shen family!"

"Using the word 'selling' is a bit harsh! Shen Junhui and I have feelings for each other. His fickleness is indeed a fatal flaw, but Zhao Xinyu is right. I'm not only marrying Shen Junhui, but also the Shen family! I shouldn't look at things so narrowly!"

"Are you okay? With your abilities, do you still need the Shen family?"

"Yes! Even someone as outstanding as Zhuge Liang needed a platform to achieve his success! And you have to choose the right platform! Both ability and platform are indispensable!"

"Isn't Xiao Yuan's platform enough?"

"It's enough for now, but wouldn't it be better if I had the opportunity to expand to a larger platform? Opportunities must be actively sought!"

"As expected, he's the one I like! Still so rational! If you have any questions, just tell me! Especially if it involves pre-marital property, you still need me to check it for you!"

"There is one now. I need you to draft a share transfer agreement. Mr. Shen asked me to draft it to reassure me."

"No problem! I'll send it to you once I'm done!"

After hanging up the phone, I looked at myself in the window. My appearance hadn't changed much, but my eyes were more resolute than before! I've traveled from a small village to a big city, from within China to abroad, from undergraduate to doctoral. Only I know the pain along the way. I once believed that love could withstand any adversity, and that a united heart is stronger than iron! But Rong Zixuan taught me a hard lesson, making me realize that my strongest support is always myself! Human nature is complex and changeable. Love can be enjoyed, but it shouldn't be indulged!

A few days later, Li Zhanwen came to me in a daze. I guess he had seen the statement issued by the Shen family.

"Do you really want to marry Shen Junhui?" he asked unwillingly.

"Yes!" I answered firmly, and I also heard his heartbreaking voice.

"Why?" Tears fell from Li Zhanwen's red eyes.

"Because we've been together for a long time, it's natural for us to consider marriage!"

"Long? Only two years? Long?" Li Zhanwen was puzzled.

"Two years is short, so short that it wasn't until Rong Zixuan filed for divorce that I realized our marriage had only lasted two years! Two years is also long, so long that it wasn't until Shen Junhui proposed to me that I realized we had already gone through the most difficult two years!"

"But he betrayed you and had affairs with other women! Can you forgive him for this?" Li Zhanwen was very excited.

"Yes! I forgive him! Everyone makes mistakes! And just like smoking, he may not be able to change it for the time being, but I will help him get rid of this bad habit!"

"When did you become so love-brained? Now you are making excuses for him! You were not like this before!" Li Zhanwen grabbed my arm excitedly, but I pushed him away.

"He tolerated my past, so I should tolerate his shortcomings too! Husband and wife should tolerate and support each other!"

"Why can't you look back at me?" Li Zhanwen's tears continued to fall.

"But it's too late! We have been missing each other! Maybe we were just not destined to be together!" I said regretfully.

"But I won't accept it! Why am I the one who missed out?" Li Zhanwen wiped his tears.

"Nothing in this world is perfect! You still have a long way to go! You deserve better! Just like sand, the more you try to hold on, the less you can hold on! Letting go is the best solution!"

"Can you hug me?" Li Zhanwen pleaded. His red eyes from crying made me feel pity, but my reason still prevailed.

"No! We can't!" I cruelly rejected his request.

"Just once! I beg you!" Li Zhanwen continued to beg.

"No!" I turned my back and refused decisively.

Li Zhanwen cried like a child in front of me. I didn't know how to comfort him, so I could only pat his shoulder. At this time, Jiashu Jiache came in with Wei Cheng. Li Zhanwen suppressed his grief and forced a smile.

"Uncle Li, why are you crying?" Jiache looked at Li Zhanwen in confusion.

Li Zhanwen squatted down and said to Jiache with a smile, "Uncle Li has cavities from eating too many desserts. He just ate a piece of chocolate, and the tooth decay is biting Uncle Li again, so Uncle Li is crying in pain! Jiache must not eat too much chocolate in the future! Tooth decay will bite Jiache too! And Jiashu too!"

Jia Che frowned. "Really? Can you really get bug bites if you eat too much chocolate?"

"Look, Uncle Li is crying bitterly. So does Jiache still need to eat so much chocolate?" Li Zhanwen said with a forced smile.

Jia Che shook his head, "No, I'm afraid of pain, I don't want to be bitten by insects!"

"What about Jiashu?" Li Zhanwen looked at Jiashu.

"No! Jiashu doesn't want it either!" Jiashu also shook his head.

"Can I only eat one piece a day? That's too little!" Jia Che was very reluctant.

"Eat one piece to avoid being bitten by insects! Does Jia Che want to cry in pain like Uncle Li?"

"Okay then!" Jia Che agreed reluctantly.

"You are the older brothers, and you should set an example for your younger brothers!" Li Zhanwen comforted Jiashu and Jiache.

"My younger brother only has a few teeth. Will he also be bitten by tooth worms?" Jia Che was very confused.

"Yes! If your little brother eats too much sweets, he'll get bitten too! So, as the older brother, you have to set a good example for your little brother! Help him eat less sweets and brush his teeth before bed! That's what a good brother should do!"

"Then Jiashu is not a good brother! He always takes me to eat candy secretly!" Jiache laughed loudly.

"Oh! Jiashu! Is this true?" I quickly questioned Jiashu.

"Jia Che is not keeping his word! You promised me not to tell mom!" Jia Shu retorted to Jia Che angrily.

"Okay! It's okay if you ate it before, but from now on, you can't eat it secretly anymore, otherwise worms will grow on your teeth and mom will take you to have your teeth pulled out!"

"Yeah!" Jiashu Jiache pouted and agreed reluctantly.

"Okay! You've played enough, it's time to go read some books!" I held Wei Cheng and rushed the two older ones into the study.

"If nothing else..." I said to Li Zhanwen awkwardly.

"It seems like I can't do anything now! I can only wish you happiness!" Li Zhanwen said disappointedly.

"Thank you!"

"Will you send me an invitation when the time comes? I also want to witness your love!" Li Zhanwen suppressed his grief, tears welling up in his eyes.

"Of course! I was thinking that you could take care of Wei Cheng when you go. Now he is closest to you and me!" I said, looking at Wei Cheng in my arms.

"Since we're here, can I take Wei Cheng out for a walk?"

"Sure!" I handed Wei Cheng to Li Zhanwen, and Wei Cheng accepted it naturally.

"Then we'll go out first!" Li Zhanwen left reluctantly, and I went to the study to read with the two children.
