If We Cannot Grow Old Together

Proofread by Zhou Zhijie

In the presidential suite, Li Qiaosheng looks at Mu Ziyou carefully for a long time before putting her down.

It has been half a year since he last saw her. The ugly scar on her face has disappeared. Mu Ziyou right now has a perfect and pretty face, and any expression, such as a frown or a smile only, can touch any man’s heart. It works the same on Li Qiaosheng, who feels like he has seen these similar eyes somewhere.

He doesn’t know why he has a feeling so bizarre, a feeling of regaining something precious which has been missed once.

Sure enough, he doesn’t love her, does he?

“Youyou, where have you been these days? Have you been with Qin Yang all the time?” Li Qiaosheng doesn’t notice that there is a flavor of jealousy in his tone.

But to Mu Ziyou, it sounds more like a criticism. He seemingly has known clearly about her fleeing by feigning death, which led to his failure in finding her. Luckily she’s followed Qin Yang’s suggestion to leave this country immediately. She went to Korea for cosmetic surgery before she journeyed to Japan, Paris and Provence, etc.

All those places she once wished to go with Li Qiaosheng, in the end, were visited with the help of Brother Qin Yang.

“Mr. Li, it has been a long time. Since you’ve found out that I am still alive, let’s talk about our divorce lest you… would commit bigamy.” Mu Ziyou speaks with a light-hearted expression, yet she is full of bitterness inside.

Even before she decided to come, she had planned to revenge herself at the wedding by making them fall out with each other. However, the moment she saw him, her heart softened and chose to leave them together for good.

Although it was a false death, she did experience death herself. Tracing back, Mu Ziyou really feels that she was too paranoid before.

She has remembered that Brother Qiaosheng promised to marry her when they were still little kids. She also mentioned this to Li Wenkang, Qiaosheng’s father. That’s why Li Wenkang was so persistent in realizing this dream for her, even if his son already had fallen in love with someone else.

However, the bitter result from his good intention has left the three of them struggling in the turbulence of love.

Mu Ziyou loved him so deeply that she was reluctant to let go of him; Li Qiaosheng had to marry her due to the pressure from his father, but had kept tormenting her ever since they got married; as for Xia Wanyan, it was clear that she fell in love with Qiaosheng later, but she acted as if Mu had taken her beloved away. Since then the two best friends fell out.

Mu Ziyou realizes that all these are caused by her!NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

Therefore, it’s better to sacrifice herself and help the two of them realize their dreams.

In fact, after marrying her, Li Qiaosheng had always wished she could propose a divorce, which is the reason why he hurt her over and over again, trying to force her to suggest “divorce” by herself. However, later owing to his parents’ death and Xia Wanyan’s matters, he just wouldn’t let her get away easily.

Now, he feels clearly the reluctance and unwillingness in his heart when hearing the word “divorce” coming out from her mouth again.

“Youyou, could you give me some time? I’m not really marrying Xia Wanyan. All the misunderstandings between us are gone now. Don’t be afraid. I’ll take revenge for your mother’s death, OK?”

“You?” Mu Ziyou stays stunned for a moment, feeling that she almost does not know the capricious man in front of her.

Soon she puts herself together－after all, the affection between this man and Xia Wanyan is obvious to all. He probably said so out of the fear that she would kill his sweetheart for real. It’s his stalling tactics!

“Well, Li Qiaosheng, if you could make Xia Wanyan kneel down in front of me, kowtow to me for three times and apologize to me formally, I would let you off.”
