"Thatâs why I accepted what had already happened."
If she didnât accept it, what else could she do?
She wouldnât throw her life away because of it.
Ah Nian, in the end, could only be a passerby in her life.
She actually felt that this was fine, as she wouldnât have any more fantasies about him, cutting off her last lingering thought.
"It seems like youâve resigned yourself..." Nian Shen said, "Then why not let it be? Take this opportunity, letâs date, give yourself a new start."
"...Youâd better watch out! Iâll really wring your neck!"
"But you wonât," Nian Shen was certain Heather wouldnât do anything to him, "My suggestion isnât bad, I think itâs pretty good. After all, since you want a normal life, how would you know I canât give you happiness unless you try?"
"Were you a negotiation expert before?" Heather suddenly asked.
"Why? Did I persuade you?"
"...No! Forget I said anything."
She quickly drank the coffee in her hand, no longer looking at him, and returned to her room.
Watching her retreating figure, Nian Shen smiled, a smile filled with meaning.
...
Back in her room, Heather pulled out a set of clothes, turned around, and saw herself in the mirror, closing her eyes helplessly.
The hickeys he left on her were not few??
Nian Shen, that lunatic!
Of course, she might be even crazier!
In the days that followed, she couldnât look him in the eye.
There were many on her neck too, she muttered a few curses.
Luckily it was winter, she found a turtleneck sweater, covering them up so they couldnât be seen.
When she went out again, her different attire caught Nian Shenâs attention: "You never used to wear turtlenecks."
"..." Asking when you already know!
As the door opened, Yi Yang was already outside, asking the same thing, "Huh? Miss Hai, why are you wearing a turtleneck? Itâs hotter today than yesterday, and I didnât see you wear one then."
"..." Does your observation have to be so good?
Besides, is it that strange for her to wear a turtleneck?
"Huh..." Yi Yang continued, "Miss Hai, have you been too stressed? You have sores at the corners of your mouth, is it a mouth ulcer? Need me to buy some Vitamin B for you?"
"..." Heather covered her face completely, not wanting to see Yi Yang at all, and walked briskly forward.
Yi Yang, baffled, asked, "Whatâs up with Miss Hai... did someone upset her?"
"You did." Nian Shen said, also walking forward.
"Huh?" Yi Yang still didnât understand, "What did I say wrong?"
...
Although Yi Yang got everything right, he reminded Heather with one sentence.
She should go buy contraceptives.
But when she got to the hotel door, she stopped.
She remembered overhearing something in the castle earlier by accident.
She heard it while the servants were gossiping.
Ah Nian forbade anyone from mentioning anything about children in front of her, and especially didnât allow anyone to tell her that she might never be a mother again.
That is to say, after her body went through such trauma causing her to lose a child, it was damaged, and thereâs a high probability she canât conceive.
Thinking of this, she smiled wryly.
The good thing is, she saved the money sheâd spend on buying the contraceptives.
Forget it, they say itâs unlikely for her to conceive anyway, so thereâs no point.
If she still ends up getting pregnant, then that life would be a miracle.
