Then, Song Xiangsi turned her head, and stared at the operating room door not far away. Her gaze became a little distant, and after about half a minute, she continued to speak in a nonchalant tone, "It's been like this for so many years, there's nothing to be concerned about."
In an instant, Xu Jiamu's heart felt a dull pain.
He and Song Xiangsi didn't stick together every day. She had her own things to do, and he had Xu Enterprise matters to take care of. Even if they did meet, it was mostly at night, and after making love, they would go their separate ways. But in his memory, Song Xiangsi had always been indifferent, as though she didn't care about anything. He had never seen her in pain, nor had he seen her cry from sadness.
But now, she was telling him that it had been like this for so many years... Was she saying that all these years, no matter how much pain or sadness she felt, she had always endured it alone?
Xu Jiamu stared at Song Xiangsi's ankle, not saying a word. After a while, he put her foot back into her shoe, and got up to leave.
When Xu Jiamu came back, he had a bag in his hand. He stood in front of Song Xiangsi, and took out a box of yogurt. He stuck a straw in it, and handed it to Song Xiangsi.
Song Xiangsi looked at Xu Jiamu in astonishment, as though confused. He had just left, so why was he back?
She paused for a moment, but in the end, she took the yogurt.
Xu Jiamu knelt on one knee in front of Song Xiangsi, and threw the bag to the side. He took off Song Xiangsi's shoe, and poured some safflower oil into his palm. He rubbed it twice, and started to rub her ankle.
Song Xiangsi looked at Xu Jiamu, who had his head down to rub her ankle. She forcefully pursed her lips, then bit on the yogurt straw, and averted her gaze.
This was probably the first time in all these years that someone had taken care of her.
Perhaps because her mother passed away early, she learned to be independent at an early age. Later, when her father became seriously ill, she took on all the responsibilities of the family alone. Because there was no one to take care of her, she could only learn to take care of herself. Over time, even she herself felt that she was omnipotent. Whether it was sickness or injury, if she could endure it, she would grit her teeth and endure it. Then, when she was alone, she would cry out because of the pain.
In the eight years she was with Xu Jiamu, there were countless times when she would be able to rely on Xu Jiamu. In the end, she realized that the man had no intention of letting her rely on him.
She wasn't a timid person, but she never had the guts to tell him her true thoughts.
She looked confident, but deep down, she had an inferiority complex. No matter how hard she tried to look glamorous in front of everyone, she was still a mistress.
Now that she had Little Red Bean, she had to be even stronger. In the past, she would secretly cry because she was too tired, but now, she didn't even dare to cry. She was afraid that if she cried, she would collapse. In the past, she even thought that if Xu Jiamu didn't marry her, she could find a good and honest man to marry. But now, for Little Red Bean, she didn't even dare to marry him. She was afraid that he wouldn't treat Little Red Bean well.
But now, suddenly, someone treated her so well. For some reason, she wanted to cry.
