Her facial expression had changed this time.

It was just like Ye Yuwei described just now. They were at the back of the hand now.

“If you use force and twisted love to go back to where you were before, both of you will be hurt deeply. But you grabbed his arm too tightly and he doesn’t even have any way to turn it around. You did give him a choice—you forced him to twist it all the way around. If you continue this way, you’ll be hurt deeply.” Ye Yuwei held Xiao Yaojing’s hand tightly as she spoke.

Xiao Yaojing frowned at the pressure on her hand.

“You and Gu Juexi are practically siblings. He was like that before.” Ye Yuwei let go of Xiao Yujing’s hand slowly. “If Gu Juexi treats me like that, I’ll go mad but I’m telling you now that all Wen Tao ever did, he did for you.”

Xiao Yaojing smirked. “When we were young, our mothers stopped us from playing with our toys or going out to play with friends because they wanted us to focus on our studies. They said it was for our own good. But what was the result? Were we happy? The most frightening sentence in this world is ‘I’m doing this for your sake.’”

Ye Yuwei agreed with Xiao Yaojing. “You get annoyed when people console you like that, but you never think about how to resolve the issue at hand,” Ye Yuwei said seriously.

“Yezi, when people say that they’re doing it for our own good, it’s not love. It’s chaining us up. I feel suffocated because of it.” Tears welled up in Xiao Yaojing’s eyes, and she looked up to stop them from falling.

It was common for pregnant women to have mood swings, and Xiao Yaojing was feeling better but it still upset her.

Ye Yuwei held her hand tightly. “Let me tell you about the time when I was pregnant.”

Xiao Yaojing looked at her curiously.

Ye Yuwei was looking at Xiao Yaojing too. “When I woke up, their presence in my body was very strong. My tummy was round and large. I felt that I had to bring them into this world because they survived like warriors, but you know the relations.h.i.+p between my mother and I.”

She had not even told Gu Juexi this.

“I left the Bai family and I rejected their help. I rejected my elder brother’s help too. You never knew what I went through that time. I worked as a cas.h.i.+er. I went to pick up rubbish in the middle of the night while I was pregnant. But do you know? There are places in this world with not even a dustbin by the road. You don’t even have a chance there. I had been living under the bridge, I even spent time with the homeless in a homeless shelter. I did wonder if Gu Juexi would be nice to me if I went back to him. At the very least, he would not let me fall into such a pathetic state. I hid with the homeless in alleys when it rained at night, where we s.h.i.+vered all the time because of the cold. I thought about it a lot. If he was there, he would never let me suffer because of the kids.”

Ye Yuwei held Xiao Yaojing’s hand as she spoke. “The point is, we’re always like this. We always forget to appreciate what we have when we are rich. When you lose it someday, you’ll see it yourself. It’s like the little match girl who could only imagine what she would own by the strike of the match.”

Xiao Yaojing lowered her gaze. She really pitied Ye Yuwei for having such a hard past. At the same time, she was thinking about what she had done. Was she really wrong this time?

But that kind of life was not what she wanted.
