Reborn in the 70s: Pampered by Regiment Commander

Chapter 1360 - 899:

"Alright, I understand." Wan Yuqiong sighed. She could tell the other person’s attitude wasn’t lying; perhaps, this woman truly loved Qian Jianming.

But, if she really couldn’t let go, how could she have been so ruthless at that time, causing Qian Jianming to die so tragically?

Seeing her confusion, Yao Xinqing gave a bitter smile: "You have children, so you won’t understand my feelings. To me, Qian Jianming is my everything. If he abandoned me, it would be like the entire world abandoned me.

Moreover, I got my job with his help. If he truly abandoned me, I would lose my job. You know how my family treats me.

I can’t imagine wandering alone with no guarantee of food, clothing, shelter, or travel. In such a situation, I would rather perish together with him than allow him to leave me for another woman.

My love is just that selfish, but it’s this selfish love that truly loves him. Unlike you, whose feelings for your children exceed those for him.

Otherwise, you wouldn’t have made the decision to divorce him. Honestly, I never expected you two to come to this point. I’ve waited half a lifetime and had already given up on the idea, but you actually granted me this.

Because it was so sudden and unexpected, I became somewhat arrogant, which led Qian Jianming to develop a repulsion towards being with me, ultimately causing his departure."

What she referred to as "his departure" held a double meaning: one was leaving her, the other was leaving this world entirely. Regardless of which, cause leads to effect...

This love is too selfish, and only such love has the power to destroy. Wan Yuqiong felt fortunate to have her children, preventing her from developing such extreme thoughts.

Honestly, no matter how severe things became, she never thought about perishing together with Qian Jianming, because she is a mother and cannot truly abandon her children.

Now, she fully understood Yao Xinqing’s intention; she truly didn’t need her help. The path was chosen by herself, and any interference from outsiders was seen as meddling. Thus, she came to open her own heart and to help the other open hers.

"Do you have anything else to say to me?" Wan Yuqiong asked, looking earnestly at the other person.

"Live well." Yao Xinqing smiled faintly at her. "Don’t fight me for Qian Jianming. I’ve said it, he’s mine. Whether there’s a next life or not, he’s mine."

"Alright." Wan Yuqiong nodded. "I’ll listen to you and live well, if only to avoid seeing Qian Jianming again; I must live well. Moreover..." Examining Yao Xinqing’s expression, Wan Yuqiong continued, "I should tell you, my son and daughter are now living with me, along with my father, all of us together for some time.

Once my children find their own happiness, I’ll probably start a new life too, so you needn’t worry, I definitely won’t compete with you for Qian Jianming.

I’ve had enough in this lifetime. If asked to be with him again, I’d refuse to the death. He’s yours. From the moment I divorced him, I had no intention of competing with you for this man."

"Fine, you said it yourself, no backing out."

"Absolutely not."

"It’s a deal."

"It’s a deal!"

Two women, who once considered each other enemies, tightly clasped hands.

As they left the meeting room, Qian Yan and Qian Dakun quickly stepped forward, "Mom, are you okay?" Qian Yan looked worriedly at her mom. She really couldn’t understand her mom’s actions, but chose to support her.

Mom had always endured silently for her; she decided from now on, she’d endure silently for mom too. She would never oppose anything mom wanted to do.

Her mom had lived suffocated enough in this lifetime; she definitely wouldn’t add salt to her mom’s wound.

"I’m fine." Wan Yuqiong patted her daughter’s head and then her son’s. "I just feel particularly lucky and happy."

If it weren’t for you, mom probably wouldn’t end up better than Yao Xinqing. Mom has completely figured it out; in this lifetime, she’ll just live well with you.

After you two siblings marry, I’ll watch over grandsons or granddaughters. Anyway, besides emotions, mom will try everything else."
