Wang Shaofu's pupils turned red instantly.

His lips trembled, "Really,... like him?"

"Um,"

Xie Anning nodded slowly. "There are many kinds of love in the world. I used to be so close to you, and when I first fell in love, I didn't see anyone else's love in my eyes. My love for him may not be that pure, but I do like him."

Ishihara Qing is such a good person, how could she not like him.

A year ago, the man who was still a bit childish and domineering had grown rapidly in just one year.

He quickly learned how to love and knew how to be good to the girl he loved.

Every word and action is extremely appropriate.

Xie Anning couldn't think of any reason not to like him.

She even regretted that with her own state of mind, she could not reciprocate his unique feelings.

Fortunately, she is now in her early thirties.

There are still decades to come to accompany him.

They will grow old together, and one day, she will completely forget the previous relationship.

In my eyes and heart, all I see is Ishihara Kyo.

Too cruel.

Wang Shaofu closed his eyes, his voice hoarse, "What if I don't agree?"

He gave the child to the wet nurse, stood up, and said, "I can't bear to see you marry another man."

Xie An Ning's expression froze for a moment, and he smiled bitterly: "I can't do it either, and reconcile with you."

It's really impossible.

She even thought about continuing to be with him.

At least, accompany him on this last journey.

But she could not forget the image of him holding the almost naked concubine in his arms.

Whenever I think of it, it feels like a lump in my throat.

Even though he said that even if she didn't go, he had no intention of continuing.

However, he really had the idea of ​​favoring his concubine in the study.

How is this not betrayal?

If she didn't see it, she could deceive herself.

But she saw it with her own eyes, so she couldn't bear it.

Xie Anning sniffed, "You love me very much, but you still allow Li to undress in front of you. I admit that I haven't let you go yet. In fact, I still love you, but there is no turning back."

It’s over, it’s over.

She also stood up and looked at the man in front of her. "Including that dream, we have been entangled for two lifetimes. I gave you all my feelings, love and hate, life and death, all because of you. Now I wake up from the dream, I am only thirty-three, I have children, a family, and the rest of my life to live. I can't be entangled with you anymore."

She wants to break up.

Cut off all the past and start the rest of your life.

And the only person she planned for the rest of her life was Ishihara Kyo.

A sweet taste welled up in Wang Shaofu's throat. He swallowed it hard and forced out an embarrassed smile, "So, you want me to watch you stay with him?"

The gaps between the teeth were stained with blood.

Thinking of his physical condition, Xie Anning's heart choked slightly, "Don't get excited."

"Excited?" Wang Shaofu's eyes were red. "An Ning, just kill me."

If he died, he wouldn't have to accept the fact that she had changed her heart.

No need to watch her walk towards someone else.

She wants to spend the rest of her life with Ishihara Qing.

He dreamed of living together until old age, but she promised it to another man.

And told him not to get excited.

"Kill me, don't do this to me."

He murmured, as if in a state of madness.

Like a dog that has lost its home.

Xie Anning's nose was sore, "Then why do you treat me like this?"

You were the one who did this to me first.

They had reached a dead end and could go no further.

Now when they face each other, all they feel is disappointment and despair.

Really, there's no turning back.

"I'm sorry," Wang Shaofu stepped forward, put his arm around her waist and hugged her tightly, "I'm really sorry for making you so sad."

He made such a mess of everything.

The girl he was determined to protect died tragically in his backyard in his previous life, and in this life... she also gave up and left.

The hand hanging by his side moved, and Xie An Ning grasped his sleeve tightly, "In the next life, let's not meet again, okay?"

"In my next life, I will obey my parents and marry a son-in-law to support the family. You should also obey your parents and marry a virtuous and tolerant noblewoman. That way, we won't have to worry about anything."

If you don't talk about love, you won't be jealous.

Even if she is betrayed again, she can face it calmly.

Instead, my heart is dead and broken.

In this way, his family will not decline for two generations.

Wang Shaofu buried his face in her neck and shook his head gently, "No, as long as I live, I only want you."

He couldn't bear to watch her marry someone else.

"Don't do this to me,"

"An Ning, no matter how wrong I am, please don't treat me like this."

There are water stains sliding down the side of the neck.

Xie Anning clenched his palms.

No more words were spoken.

Neither good nor bad.

After that day, I felt like I was stimulated by something.

Wang Shaofu's health deteriorated further and further.

The coughing never stopped.

Xie Anning saw him coughing up blood with his own eyes.

I can’t tell whether it’s pity or heartache.

From then on, there was no mention of marriage.

She had a conversation with Ishihara Kiyoshi.

A few days later, Ishihara Qing moved out of the Xie family.

There were only four of them left in this mansion.

Winter is very difficult for patients.

Fortunately, wealthy families have no shortage of heating materials.

Wang Shaofu's spirits were sometimes good and sometimes bad.

When he felt better, he loved to put his arms around Xie Anning's waist, hold her in his arms, and take advantage of her brief indulgence to kiss her passionately.

He didn't dare ask if she was waiting for him to die.

So that Ishihara Qing can come in.

He didn't dare to die, for fear that his beloved girl would really grow old with someone else.

Only when he reached this point did he realize it deeply.

What a harm he did to her by allowing another woman to appear in the backyard that day.

She would never forgive him.

She would never forgive him.

Wang Shaofu felt very painful, and the kiss became stronger and stronger, and tears slid down their cheeks as they pressed together.

He cried again.

Xie Anning's attempt to refuse froze in mid-air.

The clothes were torn open, and the man's hand gently stroked along the waistline.

The fingertips, from years of holding pens, have thin calluses on them, and wherever they touch, they cause layers of trembling.

Xie Anning suddenly came to his senses and grabbed his wrist as he was about to move upwards.

Wang Shaofu stopped kissing her and looked at her with his still moist eyes, "Give it to me, okay?"

Xie Anning pursed her lips: "Your body..."

"I want it," Wang Shaofu went to kiss her eyes, "just once, okay?"

"No." Xie Anning shook his head and refused firmly.

She didn't indulge him anymore.

Wang Shaofu froze for a moment, then slowly let go without forcing himself.

After the new year.

After giving birth to the child and recovering from her illness, Xie Anning began to work in the inner court.

Wang Wan still works as a teacher at Xiaoxiang Academy.

Girls' schools were built in various places in a sporadic manner.

Of course there were disturbances, but they were quickly suppressed.

This year, Princess Huayang, the president of the world's number one women's college, and her vice-president, Princess Chengyi, were ordered by the empress to inspect women's schools in various places.

One is to monitor whether women's colleges in various places are recruiting students according to regulations, so as to avoid the situation where ambitious girls are unable to study.

Similarly, it was also to intimidate local bureaucrats and aristocrats and to show the court's decisiveness in promoting women's education.
