Chapter 137: Leaving Qin Xiaotian as a Regret

Song Qingtian hadn’t thought of anything else at all. She repeated, “I want to raise my daughter on my own.”

“The first sentence.”

Song Qingtian was very troubled—what was that first sentence?

Ling Hanyu let out a light snort and pinched her chin, warning, “Until we’re divorced, you’re my woman, Ling Hanyu. It’s best not to even think about anything unclean.”

Ling Hanyu got up and left, and Song Qingtian breathed a sigh of relief when she saw him go.

Finally, he was gone—if this kept up, she’d be driven crazy!

Ling Hanyu was so moody; Song Qingtian had had enough.

Just as she was about to get up, Ling Hanyu returned, and the bedroom door opened.

“Get up! Go pick up Nuonuo—it’s almost time!”

After speaking coldly, Ling Hanyu walked out the door.

Song Qingtian stood there in a daze for a long while before finally getting out of bed, taking a shower, and changing clothes—just in time to pick up her daughter.

Song Qingtian hadn’t picked up her daughter in a long time; because of health reasons, she’d been staying home.

In fact, nowadays women who have miscarriages aren’t nearly as delicate as they used to be. Many don’t even take time off work—they schedule the procedure over the weekend, rest at home for a day or two after the surgery, and then head back to the office on Monday.

That’s what it’s like for women today: they work hard but get little in return. Every year they worry themselves sick over selling high-end goods, only to end up making the kind of money you’d make selling cabbage.

Women!

Life itself is inherently frustrating.

If you don’t empower yourself and love yourself, who else is going to care?

The original female supporting character understood how much the original female supporting character had sacrificed for Ling Hanyu—after all, people who are deeply in love can be a bit foolish.

She, too, was someone who loved deeply; even though Qin Xiaotian had left so ruthlessly, she still couldn’t stop thinking about him.

Back then, it was her father who had stubbornly opposed their relationship.

That’s why they couldn’t be together.

When you’re young, who isn’t a bit cowardly?

She tried to rebel against her father, but Qin Xiaotian’s resignation was so swift and decisive that it caught her completely off guard.

Qin Xiaotian was her regret—and in a way, it also helped her see clearly what a romantic relationship really is.

She loved, yet she saw all the coldness and cruelty of the world.

Such things happen all the time at school.

Some girls even want to die, crying their hearts out.

Every time she saw those girls, she would wonder: if she had been a bit more stubborn, loved a bit more, and been a bit sillier, would she have been the one?

In the end, reason prevailed over her inner demons.

She kept her first love in her memories and left Qin Xiaotian as a regret!

Leaning against the car, Song Qingtian stared blankly at the sky outside, lost in thought about so many things.

Ling Hanyu, driving beside her, called out, “Don’t think you can dodge the whole ‘selling clothes’ thing just by pretending to be clueless and spacing out.”

Only then did Song Qingtian look over at Ling Hanyu.

Ling Hanyu frowned. “Starting tomorrow, you’ll go to work at the Company—temporarily as my Secretary. I’ll give you a new assignment. As it happens, that piece of land is about to be developed. Didn’t you say you wanted to help those two institutions?”

Song Qingtian looked at Ling Hanyu. It seemed like trouble never came alone: the more she didn’t want to get involved, the more it seemed to chase after her.

Her real intention had been to help those two institutions—not to get directly involved.

She knew that often, the more you try to help, the messier things get.

At first, she really did want to pitch in, but after repeated failures, she realized she was actually the last person who should be meddling in the whole affair.

If she kept going, she’d only make things worse by trying to help. So she decided to stay out of the land-development business altogether.

If her presence couldn’t change anything, then there was no point in changing it.

Without her, whatever happened, the situation would be less troublesome. It wasn’t that she didn’t feel sorry for those people—she’d already done so much, and still nothing had changed.

So she might as well leave it to fate!

But Ling Hanyu bringing up the past again felt a bit like tempting her.

Song Qingtian weighed her options carefully: accept or refuse.

After much deliberation, she finally said, “I’ll be your Secretary, and you can have me sell clothes. I won’t take your salary. But you have to promise me that you’ll let those two welfare institutions go. If you keep your word, I won’t embarrass you—I’ll try my best not to show my face in public. What do you think?”

“Deal!”

Ling Hanyu agreed without hesitation.

Song Qingtian’s heart sank. What a loss!
