Just one glance from my sister-in-law had touched my heart. I could imagine how much she had suffered when I hadn't come. Mother-in-law and the others didn't come in either. They gave us some privacy. I had poured a lot of feelings into this gentle woman.
As time passed, perhaps I would be able to let go of Liu Yuhan and erase my memories of her. However, I would never be able to let go of my past with my sister-in-law.
She had made me understand what it meant to love someone deeply and what it meant to simply like someone. It was just like that time when I knew my sister-in-law was pregnant, but I couldn't help but care about her. Even I felt like I was being cheap, but I couldn't control my behavior.
At that time, my sister-in-law looked at me with jealousy. She was so happy and teased me. She asked me to take care of her in the future. I was so angry that I almost fainted. She was just torturing me. In the end, when she told me that the child was my flesh and blood, a lot of images appeared in my head. Then, I realized that my sister-in-law had taken my sperm and given birth to a child.
She was a little worried that I would reprimand her. Unexpectedly, I was overjoyed. The estrangement between us was gone. Sigh, at first, I thought that because of this child, I would be able to have a happy ending with my sister-in-law. However, the heavens had their own ups and downs. It was fine to lose the child, but now, even my sister-in-law had lost her fertility. It was a kind of unspeakable pain.
"Eat it while it's hot. These dishes are delicious." I pouted my lips to break the awkward atmosphere.
"I don't want to eat. I'm not hungry."
My sister-in-law gently shook her head. She didn't want to meet my eyes. It wasn't strange. She didn't know anything about our conversation outside. She was worried that if I came in and asked to part ways with her, she would be heartbroken.
I opened the box, picked up the chopsticks, and blew on them. Then, I carefully fed her. "Come here. Open your mouth."
Although my sister-in-law was a little emotional, she obediently opened her mouth. "Xiao Feng, are you going to leave me?"
"How could I? I can tell you clearly that I can't leave you!
Just like how a fish can't live without water, a human can't live without oxygen. "I shook my head and said solemnly.
She stared at me in a daze, her beautiful eyes glowing. She was silently moved. Comparatively speaking, I wasn't a romantic man, nor was I a glib talker. All I had was sincerity in my actions.
"Xiao Feng, don't be so nice to me. I'm not worth it anymore."
Sister-in-law pursed her lips. Her face revealed a trace of pain and her eyes were shrouded in tears. There was no doubt that Sister-in-law had cried too many times in the past few days. She had complained about the unfairness of the heavens and was also worried about her gains and losses. Although she had obtained a villa, it was nothing compared to the child. She often wondered if it was because she coveted wealth that the heavens were punishing her in this way.
She often wondered if it was because of her greed for wealth that God punished her. She was more willing to pursue the right to have a child. If she stayed with my cousin, it wouldn't be a big deal if she couldn't get pregnant. At most, it would be a pity. But from another perspective, it was also a relief. With my cousin's personality, even if he had a child, he would only bear more pressure and burden. That was why I had advised her to abort the child.
But now, the situation was completely different. My sister-in-law had thought that giving birth to my child was the fruit of our love. This little life gave her a great sense of security. But now, she didn't have that ability. Her heart was filled with self-blame and helplessness. She hated herself for not being able to continue the family line, and it would be hard for her to have the happiness she wanted in the future.
After all, as the saying goes, if a man is reliable, a sow can climb a tree. This is especially true for rich and powerful men. In their eyes, a woman is just a piece of clothing that can come and go at their beck and call at any time. After three minutes of passion, she is destined to be ignored and abandoned.
Moreover, not long ago, my mother-in-law said a lot of unpleasant words. She said that I brought a girl home to spend the night just a few days after the accident. Even if my sister-in-law knew that it was Liu Jie, she wouldn't feel comfortable in her heart. She was simply rubbing salt on her wound.
"Silly woman, don't say that. My feelings for you are a kind of husband and wife helping each other in difficult times. I want to hold your hand and grow old together. Even if I have to pay a high price, I will work hard in that direction. Do you understand?" I stared into her beautiful eyes and held her little hand tightly, showing unprecedented firmness.
This was a promise to a woman, and also my determination. Although the Zhao Family was extremely hateful, in the end, I was still too weak. If I had the status of Shangguan Jie, even if I gave the Zhao Family a hundred guts, they wouldn't dare to touch my woman. At this moment, my desire for strength was ignited. If I didn't want to be bullied, I had to have stronger abilities to protect my beloved woman. Obviously, my sister-in-law was moved by my words.
It was obvious that sister-in-law was moved by my words. She gently leaned her small head against my chest. Although she was crying, a happy smile appeared on her face. Sure enough, she hadn't misjudged me. From the very beginning, she had resolutely chosen to drug and rape me. It was a risky move. If I had treated her badly, sister-in-law wouldn't have had any misgivings. After receiving uncle's money, she would have gone to the hospital to abort the baby. But my silent sacrifice and the love that came from the bottom of my heart had moved her. She had decided to face the situation with me bravely. Even if there was a storm in the future, it wouldn't be able to wash away our feelings.
I still remember that at the beginning, we were a pair of ill-fated mandarin ducks. We couldn't see a glimmer of light in the future. We hugged each other to get a trace of comfort. After so many hardships, I really couldn't find a reason to separate.
Even if she was infertile now, I still stayed by her side as always. In fact, sister-in-law was a woman who was easy to be satisfied. She didn't have any hope every time, but I could bring her unexpected surprises.
"Xiao Feng, but the more tolerant you are, the more I feel guilty. It's not good for my mother to always give you trouble. Now, she can't even give birth to a child for you. You still coax me like this. Why bother?"
There was no doubt that sister-in-law was very fragile during this period of time, including these words, which revealed her inferiority complex in her heart.
It was just like how I used to be careful. I was afraid that sister-in-law would be unhappy, and I didn't want to contact Liu Jie, lest she misunderstood that I had someone I liked. Now, not only had the roles changed, but even my status was rising. Because of this, sister-in-law had this kind of mood, and even felt that she didn't have the qualifications to attach herself to me.
