Chapter 209: Su Yaogeng’s Secret (Part 1)
Han Siqu’s expression was somewhat desolate, yet there was a glow in his eyes that She had never seen before.
"I always thought I wouldn’t fall in love with her, but today I realized, I was terribly wrong. It’s just that all these years, she’s been by my side. Even without getting anything in return, just being able to see her makes me feel at ease. It wasn’t until I realized she might leave that I understood how much I’ve been deceiving myself. Suddenly, I regret not realizing it sooner and not trying harder earlier. I don’t know if it’s too late to start again now, but I know I’m not worthy of her at the moment. So, I plan to leave the Capital City to travel. When I feel qualified to stand in front of her, only then will I try to win her over."
"I can’t tell her any of this because I don’t know if that day will ever come."
Han Siqu sighed and said to She, "Thank you, Jing’er. At least someone could hear me say these words. Take care of your mother, I’m leaving."
She...
So, Han Siqu suddenly had a great awakening? He realized that he had actually loved Su Yaogeng all these years but felt unworthy, so he plans to make an effort and try again later?
She was taken aback by Han Siqu’s sudden change. She intended to tell him not to waste his efforts. After all, he and Su Yaogeng had been married for twenty years without any intimacy, showing just how much she disliked him...
But seeing Han Siqu now, She suddenly didn’t dislike him that much anymore, so she hesitated to say anything so discouraging.
"Is my mother with Han Si Que?" She was still somewhat puzzled, if Han Siqu liked her mother, why would he leave Han Si Que to be alone with her?
Han Siqu nodded: "I’m leaving."
"Wait," She asked, "Father, if you really have feelings for Mother, aren’t you worried that if you leave now, Han Si Que might have a chance to reconcile with her?"
Even though She knew this was impossible, by normal logic, if he liked her mother, shouldn’t he stay instead of leaving now?
If he thinks he’s unworthy... needless to say, he indeed isn’t.
It’s not that She looked down on Han Siqu, but there wasn’t much to him besides his looks.
"Your mother said she wouldn’t be with him. She’s always true to her word." On this point, Han Siqu firmly believed in her.
She thought, if not with Han Si Que, she could still be with someone else, so should she say Han Siqu is naïve, or just foolish?
However... if he wants to leave, he should just go. Anyway, She indeed felt Han Siqu was not worthy of her mother. Besides, her mother didn’t like him at all.
So, She didn’t plan on stopping him.
But... remembering Han Si Que and Su Yaogeng were still inside, She thought of one thing, which is that she always believed there were secrets between these two.
Now that they were alone inside...
She looked at Han Siqu and suddenly asked, "Do you think there’s a secret between my mother and Han Si Que?"
This sudden question from She made Han Siqu immediately recall those previous instances when Han Si Que seemed like he wanted to say something but didn’t, and Su Yaogeng’s expression was also quite strange. He couldn’t help but frown, could it be that there’s really something between them that he doesn’t know about?
