He said, “Let me think about it carefully.”

Zhuang Long returned to his room and sat by the bed in deep thought for a long time. Only then did he vaguely remember that there seemed to be such a girl. When he thought of this, memories poured into his mind like a flood. He had a deep impression of that girl who loved beauty. After all, a woman who cared so much about her beauty under such circumstances was considered a weirdo.

Zhuang Long remembered that the young blonde girl lived with a housekeeper. When they first met, the girl was already infected with the virus, but the housekeeper was not. When they developed the antidote and returned there again, the blonde girl came alone for treatment.

Her housekeeper had already passed away.

At the thought that he and Xiao Li had actually met so early on, Zhuang Long inexplicably felt relieved. He was angry that Xiao Li had secretly stolen his sperm to make a test tube baby because he thought that Xiao Li did not like him at that time and that she was using him.

From the looks of it, perhaps Xiao Li had already taken note of him.

Zhuang Long could not wait to find his phone and send a message to Xiao Li.

Zhuang Long: [Are you the girl with the veil?]

After a few minutes, Xiao Li replied.

Xiao Li: [I haven’t thanked you for saving my life.]

At the mention of such a topic, Zhuang Long’s attitude turned serious and he replied: [This is only right. You don’t have to thank me.]

Xiao Li: [Ok.]

Zhuang Long held his phone in his right hand and spun it around subconsciously. After a moment, he stopped spinning his phone. Zhuang Long opened the Twitter chat software again and opened Xiao Li’s chat interface. His phone’s chat wallpaper was Zhuang Qilin’s art photo. Zhuang Long stared at his son’s art photo and secretly encouraged himself for a while before gathering his courage to type a long message.

Zhuang Long: [Ah Li, I’m sorry. I’ve been ignoring you all these years. I admit that I’ve wasted your years of youth and let you down. I’m a persistent bachelor, and I don’t have any expectations for marriage. Your deception made me angry. Even if I was moved by you at a certain moment, out of pride, I wouldn’t have tried to get close to you. But I have to admit that at Yusheng’s wedding, when you said that you were willing to give me freedom and took the initiative to leave, I was terrified and uneasy. I don’t know why I cared so much about your departure. At that time, the foolish me still didn’t understand my heart. I didn’t know that that was called caring and liking. On the day of the divorce, when I signed the papers, I was holding my breath. I thought that you had used all kinds of methods to be with me. How could such a despicable person like you really leave me? But I was wrong. I overestimated my ability and underestimated your determination. In the past three years, I’ve watched you live a colorful life without me.It was a completely different life than the one you lived with me.]

There were too many words to write in one paragraph. The next paragraph was followed by the first paragraph.

[I just realized that the real Xiao Li is dazzling and charming. I’ve always only seen your shortcomings and ignored your strengths because of my pride and prejudice. Just like you said when you got divorced. You gave up so much for me and it’s no wonder you became tired one day. However, I’m probably a cheap and horrible person. As long as you were around, I was unaffected. When you left, I was in fear and trepidation. I miss you so much. In the past, although I deliberately ignored your existence, every night when I returned home, I would subconsciously look at the room next door. When your room was lit, I was relieved. When your room was dark, I was furious. I thought to myself, Where did this woman go to have fun again? But deep down, I was worried. I thought that you were very busy. Would you be too busy to take care of your body? Did something happen to you? After all, the security in this country is not good, and your identity is not ordinary. If I had known earlier that I liked someone because I was feeling angry and worried, how good would that have been?]

[Unfortunately, I understood this logic too late… I’ve said so much to tell you that I’m willing to take the blame for what I’ve done in the past, but I still hope that you’re willing to give me a chance, a chance for me to pursue you and make up for it. I know it’s despicable to talk about children, but I still have to say that I love him very much. If he can live with me and the three of us can be together, it will be the happiest thing to me. Ah Li, are you… are you willing to give me this chance?]

Zhuang Long finished typing and stared at the screen for a while.

Xiao Li was probably busy, or perhaps she saw the message but was unwilling to reply. In short, Xiao Li’s reply did not appear on the screen.

Zhuang Long waited anxiously.

He put down his phone and went into the bathroom to take a bath. Zhuang Long placed his phone on the shelf and lay in the bathtub to watch a movie about picking up girls.

About ten minutes later, his phone rang.

Zhuang Long quickly wiped his hands and took his phone. It was indeed Xiao Li’s reply. Zhuang Long’s heart tightened and his heartbeat quickened. He hesitated to open the chat interface. If the answer was pleasant, that was a good thing. If she rejected him…

Zhuang Long had a moment of courage and finally opened the chat.

However, he saw Xiao Li’s reply—

[Do you know why I divorced you?]

Zhuang Long stared at this message and felt puzzled.

What did this mean?

He replied tentatively: [Isn’t it because I neglected you and made you completely give up?]

This time, Xiao Li replied very quickly. She said: [When you remember and decide to really be with us, come and find me. Before you figure out why I want to divorce you, let’s not meet again.] After Xiao Li replied to this message, she ignored whatever Zhuang Long asked.

Zhuang Long leaned against the pillow in the bathtub and thought coldly, Could there be another reason for their divorce?

What was it?

Could it be that something else had happened between him and Xiao Li? For example, did Xiao Li think that there was a third party in their marriage? Did she think that he had an affair? Due to the influence of Ji Yinbing, Yan Nuo, and Vera, Zhuang Long could not help but have some melodramatic stories in his mind.

However, he felt that this was unlikely. According to Xiao Li’s personality, if anyone dared to interfere in her marriage, she would definitely not let it go.

Then, why?

Zhuang Long could not think of an answer.

In the end, he almost fell asleep in the bathtub. After all, the bathtub was warm, and it was easy to fall asleep in it. Fortunately, his phone suddenly rang and woke him up. After waking up, Zhuang Long was not in a hurry to read the news. Instead, he quickly stood up in the bathtub.

He stepped barefoot on the floor and looked down. Seeing that his toes were wrinkled from soaking, he could not help but be grateful to the person who sent the message.
