Surrounded by the Billionaire's Deep Doting

Blame who?

Is it to blame the supportive understanding given by Su Xiaomeng, or to blame oneself for being busy and neglecting her...

Su Xiaomeng doesn’t want to cry at all. It’s always like this; she really doesn’t want to cry, but helplessly her tear glands are too active, and the words she speaks are filled with her grievances, causing tears to fall.

Yin Shixiu’s hand slowly slid down from her shoulder, hanging by his side.

"So...what do you want me to do?"

What does he want to do...

This is the question he asks her, and it’s the question she has been asking herself these days. She even went online to read articles to reflect on this.

One article’s title left a deep impression on her, even... was shocking.

"...Shixiu, we can make it work, but if we can’t...let’s part."

"Su Xiaomeng!"

Yin Shixiu immediately roared, his eyes filled with disbelief, incredulity, and even pain,

"Is it necessary! Is it necessary to utter the word ’part’ so easily? Su Xiaomeng!"

A mature man in his forties suddenly had red-rimmed eyes. He saw Su Xiaomeng’s grievance, her discomfort, and the problems accumulating over their seven years of marriage, yet...he couldn’t have imagined she would utter the word ’part’.

Su Xiaomeng pursed her lips. The moonlight was hazy yellow, street lights illuminated the path, allowing their two pairs of dark eyes to still meet...

Her lips moved, she chuckled softly,

"You always say you understand me well. I also thought you understood me well... So I thought you knew, I... can be casual about everything, can be indifferent about everything, except when it comes to feelings, I can’t tolerate any sand in my eyes."

"You treat me well; I will surely treat you incomparably well. You cherish me with your life; I can live as you do. But if you don’t care about me as much... I will discard you."

There was a time he said, a love that turns into something else isn’t love; it turns into kinship, friendship...all of that isn’t love.

"I say ’part’, not because my feelings for us are less or shallower than yours, but because I treasure them more. I don’t want our passionate, intense love, the one everyone envies, to eventually dilute into a glass of water."

"Back then, Dad asked us, after the intense craziness of life and death departures, can we still withstand the mundane days... Yin Shixiu, I can withstand the mundane life, but I cannot withstand the fading of feelings..."

Each word from Su Xiaomeng felt like a sharp blade piercing his heart. It’s not because she was right, but because... he was genuinely afraid.

While he thought apologizing and coaxing could untie her knots, his beloved person was already contemplating ’part’.

What was wrong with him... that made his wife develop the idea of leaving him, yet he was unaware?

"I thought... it wasn’t that serious..."

Who knows how long it had been, maybe not long at all, he murmured like this...

Every second was an endless torment for Yin Shixiu, a long torment without seeing an end.

Su Xiaomeng smiled a bit, "I have a university classmate, from A University, she studied psychology. I ran into her in London in April, meeting in a foreign country was definitely fate, so we went out to eat together, that time I complained to her... Although I felt gloomy then, it wasn’t like now, angry and cold-hearted."

"That classmate told me maybe men’s and women’s thoughts are just different, like on a poetic painting, men see people, women see flowers; there’s no right or wrong."

"But when they’re concerned about each other, men care about whether what women see is flowers or people. When they’re not concerned, they only care about what they see themselves."

"I’m not saying you don’t care about me anymore, I’m afraid you’ll stop caring... So, let’s all think carefully, don’t think about the past, think about the future... Whether we can still love each other, whether we can still put each other in the most important position in our hearts. If we can’t, let’s part peacefully, at least we won’t end up feigning harmony with ’coldness’, having a triste fate of seeming together yet heartily apart."

To Su Xiaomeng, even if Yin Shixiu were disabled for life, it would not be a tragic ending for them, but seeming harmony with ’coldness’, having a triste fate of seeming together yet heartily apart, is truly tragic for her.

Presumably, for those around who watched them come all the way, it would be a kind of tragedy...

Such a passionate beginning, yet ending this thinly, anyone seeing and hearing it would inevitably sigh with regret.

But this seems to be the reality; people live hundreds of years, devoted to one person, deeply loving one person, but it can’t be maintained even for seven years...

"Alright? Shixiu."

Yin Shixiu looked at her, his dark eyes shining like stars, his voice steady and strong.

"No, alright."

"..."

"I don’t need to think; you are the most important in my heart, and that hasn’t changed over the years, whether you believe it or not."

"Shixiu, it’s already like this, saying things like that, does it have any meaning?"

"How can it not be meaningful?! Aren’t you setting me up here! Uh? What you said, I don’t acknowledge any of it! I won’t explain further! I thought we had a genuine understanding; I thought no matter what I do, there’s at least one undisputed thing, and that’s my feelings for you!"

Su Xiaomeng closed her eyes...

"When I decided to marry you, I never thought of ’parting’. No matter what happens, we won’t ’part’!"

Yin Shixiu’s words were decisive and firm.

Su Xiaomeng smiled bitterly, "Maybe this is the problem; you never thought of ’parting’, so you think whatever you do, just apologize and it’s resolved; my sulking would last just a few days, and once you coax me, I would yield..."

"Not even considering I might say ’part’, so you might feel it’s no big deal, feel it’s not that serious..."

"Pathetic and pitifully, maybe I love you more, so I calm down to think about these issues, I feel a sense of crisis, I’m scared of ’parting’..."

"..."

After Su Xiaomeng finished speaking, Yin Shixiu was again taken aback.

"I’ll put it another way; it’s not you who should think carefully, but I should think carefully..."

"Su Xiaomeng, when you said this, did you only consider yourself, did you consider the children? Did you consider the two families?"

"When you’re out there busy with your so-called career, aren’t you also considering only yourself? Why apply a double standard between you and me?"

"..."

Yin Shixiu’s fists clenched tightly, his heart really full of fear and panic...

Thought coming back would resolve things, but didn’t expect after opening up, to face an even more grave situation...

Seven years...

Is it truly a curse?

"I’m tired and sleepy, need to go to school tomorrow, I’ll head back inside."

After speaking, Su Xiaomeng walked straight toward Jun Garden, stopping after two steps, "Oh, by the way, please don’t ever self-righteously warn my colleagues again. That makes me really embarrassed."
