Shattered by Fate, Restored by Truth

Chapter 1180: A Road of Strangers, My Destination Is You

Returning home and lying down on the bed again, Su Wanxin recalled the conversation she had with Mu Xinghan, her absent-minded appearance making the person next to her a bit jealous.

Fu Shihan pulled her into his embrace and asked, with concern, "What did you talk about?"

"Nothing much, just talked about the past, thinking it would be hard to meet again in the future, so... it feels weird."

"You didn’t meet often before either." Fu Shihan couldn’t help but feel a bit sour inside when he thought about the three years she was missing and mostly with Mu Xinghan. "What’s the difference?"

"It’s different." Su Wanxin rebutted with a serious face, "Before, I just thought he was killing time all over the world. Who knew he was doing such dangerous work."

Thinking about what Mu Xinghan usually did, and recalling the accidents from years ago, one couldn’t help but marvel at how strange and miraculous the world is, indeed the world is a circle.

And in her circle, the starting point was that orphanage.

She hated the darkness the orphanage brought her, but was grateful for the light it gave her. Everything she had started from there, including the man in front of her.

Lately, Su Wanxin had been wondering what else she could do to stop those dirty and unjust things from happening. But no matter how hard she thought of ways, she only felt powerless in the end.

Over the years, she had come to understand a truth, which is that some people appear in your life to show you how beautiful life can be. But some people appear just to let you know how dark and rotten their hearts can be.

"If... if you were given another chance to go back to the past, would you still choose me?"

Su Wanxin asked while nestled in his arms, Fu Shihan thought for a moment and chuckled softly. "Why are you suddenly asking this?"

"I just want to know if I’d still be just as lucky if everything could start over again. I often think of the words Cheng Yao said before she died, as she wished, I’ve never been able to forget the existence of her and Cheng Xia in this life. But what’s the use of only me remembering?"

Those who had hurt them before, those things conveniently grown into human shapes might have long forgotten them.

"Even though I hope those experiences won’t happen again, if I really went back to the past, I think I would still choose you."

Fu Shihan lowered his gaze to meet her eyes, and hearing her concerned yet amused inquiry of "why," he couldn’t resist kissing her lips softly, whispering, "Because it’s you."

Because among those unfamiliar faces, I spotted you at a glance, and then couldn’t take my eyes off you.

Why her, many people over the years have asked him this question. Including during the three years she was missing, some people around him advised him to stop looking, to stop waiting.

He also tried living a life without her, but eventually, he surrendered.

Every day without her was torture; every city he visited, every scene he passed, every meal he ate, every movie he watched in those three years, he thought: if only she were by my side, how wonderful it would be.

Thanks to the amazing skill of reincarnation, from the day he was born he lived a carefree life. Many things in this world were like the vast starry sky to him; others might find them out of reach, but they were at his fingertips.

Amidst the distant starry sky, he caught sight of her at a glance.

From youthful recklessness to mature humility, and into old age in the future. In this life, he wanted many things, and lacked little. And she, she was the irreplaceable, indispensable treasure.

He loved her, loved her so deeply he couldn’t help himself. Since the day he realized that, he knew only she was it for him in this life. Although the journey began at a crossroads, in the end, his destination had to be her, could only be her.

[The End]

[Thoughts from a perennial ending-challenged author: A year and more of time, yet still, I thank every reader for accompanying me on this journey.

Young Master Fu’s book holds a different significance for me because a lot happened while writing it.

Marriage, illness, gains, losses. A lot happened along this path, unforgettable even if I wanted to forget.

Initially, I wanted to write Mu Xinghan’s character out of the story, but eventually decided against it. Though a bit regretful, he will eventually have his own story of love.

Some might have not had enough of Young Master Fu and Wanwan’s story, while others might have grown tired of it. But to me, their story never truly ends, just like our lives, there will still be many ups and downs. But here, I must say goodbye for now.

Regarding the book’s publication, many asked if it would still be published, and the answer is yes.

The publication manuscript has been submitted to the publisher, including exclusive extras. The release timing will be announced to readers via Weibo group notifications, interested readers can follow along.

Lastly, "Blue mountains do not change and the green waters flow on forever", hope we have the chance to meet again someday.]
