Step by step, a gentle breeze leads to a smooth path

Later, her family chatted idly until late at night, and Song Tingnan's heart calmed down.

A wind picked up at night, and the countryside was quiet. There were no car horns or street noises, and the rustling of the tree branches could be heard clearly.

After finishing his business in a day, Song Tingnan felt a sense of relief, perhaps because he hadn't truly loved anyone.

Perhaps subconsciously, her delaying the meeting with the parents stemmed from her skepticism about their future. They were better suited to be friends than lovers or spouses.

To put her family at ease, Song Tingnan went to her godmother Jiang Qianqian's house the next day. Jiang Qianqian's holiday was coming up soon, and she wanted to say hello to them.

"Godmother, you must have heard about what happened between him and me, right?" Song Tingnan was always very honest with Jiang Qianqian, who was both her godmother and close friend.

“I heard some rumors, so I went to inquire. Tao Huahua’s mother also came to me. She said a lot and apologized to you on behalf of her daughter.”

"Godmother, you wouldn't..."

"What? You think I'm clueless and trying to morally blackmail people? We're just excellent, so what if we're excellent? Does that mean we have to give way to others? Humph! I won't tolerate them, and I don't care about their apologies." Jiang Qianqian said angrily.

"Godmother, you still have to live in this area, and you're a teacher, so don't take it to heart," Song Tingnan advised. She rarely saw Jiang Qianqian so emotional; she was always gentle and refined.

"What's wrong with the teacher? I don't care about the teacher, but my own child was bullied like this, and I can't even say a few words..."

"Godmother!"

"Silly child, why are you crying? It's not your fault." Seeing Song Tingnan cry, Jiang Qianqian hurriedly wiped away her tears. After she calmed down, she said, "Tingnan, to be honest, a man who can't think straight like this is really not suitable for you. I know you're lazy and disdainful of handling household chores, but marriage is a lot of big and small matters."

"Listen to Nan, if a couple can get along, their character is probably similar. There's an old saying, 'Birds of a feather flock together.' You should think this through carefully. I know you and he have a connection from your student days and a bond as comrades-in-arms, but if the three of you keep getting entangled and rubbing against each other like this, even the best relationship will fade."

Song Tingnan didn't interrupt, but listened attentively. Marriage was something neither her family nor her school had ever taught her.

"Listen to Nan, the best time between men and women is probably when feelings for each other begin to blossom. They test each other's feelings, try to show their best side, accommodate and understand each other, and feel like they are surrounded by pink bubbles. Life is sweet. Isn't it said that love makes even water taste sweet?"

Once they understand each other's feelings and enjoy a period of sweet romance, the mundane realities of daily life and petty squabbles begin. Even if they don't become coldly respectful, the passion fades, tolerance decreases, responsibility weakens, and external temptations easily lead to a breakup.

We all want you to be happy, but if he makes you unhappy from the start and doesn't recognize his own problems, we don't need to force ourselves to stay. While there's no right or wrong in marriage, a woman needs someone who understands and cares for her to make her life worthwhile. They say it's better to tear down a temple than break up a marriage, but you're not married yet, so I'm being frank with you and analyzing things for you. I hope you won't regret it later, and don't blame me.

"Godmother, how could I blame you? I know you genuinely care about me, and I'm so grateful." Song Tingnan wiped her eyes. "Godmother, I've already broken up with you, and I'll be going back to work in a couple of days."

“Okay, as long as you have your own plans, it’s a good thing to see things clearly before marriage. That boy is also one of the best in the eyes of outsiders, but only we know whether the shoe fits or not.” Having lived and eaten with her for three years, Song Tingnan seemed carefree, especially since outsiders thought that martial artists were unconcerned with details. However, Jiang Qianqian knew that she was actually very sensitive and lacked a sense of security.

She used to be prone to taking the blame, but she seems to have changed a lot since coming back this time. I wonder what she went through while she was alone. Anyway, a girl like her needs a thoughtful and caring man to warm and nurture her. That Zhong guy was also pampered since childhood, doesn't know how to take care of people, and is too oblivious. Although he loves Ting Nan, he can't reach her heart.
