If We Cannot Grow Old Together

Proofread by Zhou Zhijie

The man didn’t come out of the villa all night, and Xia Wanyan stays determined right outside the door the entire night.

Li Qiaosheng doesn’t open the door and walk out until the sun is already high up in the sky the next morning.

“Darling Qiaosheng, can we talk about it in a calm and friendly way? I’m… I’m totally fine if Youyou wants to live here as long as you don’t leave me. Is that OK? You —” Xia Wanyan has thought it over all night, and swallowed her pride totally.

However, Li ignores her pleading directly and says aloud to the one inside, “Take your time, Youyou. I’ll get the car first.”

“Where are you going?”

Finally, it’s Mu Ziyou, well dressed, who answers her question. “Well, it’s Saturday and Qiaosheng wants to hang out with me.” Noticing Xia Wanyan in such a mess, Mu catches the figure of herself in the old days through her profile. “Do you want to come with us?”

“Su… sure!” Xia Wanyan never thought that there would be such a moment that she would be so shameless herself.

But she cannot afford to watch her man and Mu Ziyou go out on a date like this! She hurries to jam herself into the the back seat right after Mu takes the passenger seat.

Fortunately, Qiaosheng doesn’t mean to drive her out of the car.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

Xia feels a little relieved before she notices her unkempt appearance. Hastily, she takes out the mirror and wet tissue from her bag and solves this problem with nobody’s notice in the car.

It is the largest amusement park in the city that Li Qiaosheng brings Mu Ziyou to today.

This is also the place where she once yearned to come most.

As she gets older, she becomes too reserved to make such requests. But Qiaosheng’s father drove her over here for fun several times. Nevertheless, it is Qiaosheng whom she looks forward to hanging out with in this park.

She got obsessed with amusement parks from her experience with her mother in Japan where they couldn’t afford to go to amusement parks like this.

To her surprise, her old dream—he still remembers!

When the car pulls up outside the entrance, Mu Ziyou doesn’t get off immediately. Instead, she just looks at everything, so familiar yet so different.

She remembers the day of the accident. After Li Qiaosheng’s father took her to see her mother in the hospital, he drove her to this park. Since she was told by the doctor that her mother was getting better, she had a lot of fun there until they got a call from Qiaosheng’s mom who urged them back for dinner.

Qiaosheng’s father then picked up speed on the way back. At an intersection, the second the green lights turned red, instead of stopping he chose to take the chance!

When misfortune occurred, she was totally at loss. It was Qiaosheng’s father who risked his life and shielded her with his own body!

For a long time since then, she did not dare to get close to this park. In the deep of her heart, she thought that she should be the one responsible for the accident! If she hadn’t got so absorbed in games and lost track of time, Uncle Li wouldn’t have to rush and they would be able to arrive home before Qiaosheng did for dinner as usual.

“Why don’t you get off?” Li Qiaosheng notices Mu’s unusual act and asks with concern.

Mu then gets her thoughts back to reality. Dropping her gaze to cover the sense of guilt, she opens the door with a calm face, “Nothing. You go and line up for the tickets. Wanyan and I shall wait for you at the entrance, OK?”

The moment the man is out of earshot, Xia Wanyan comes to her side. In a rancorous tone she fires, “Youyou, what on earth do you want?”

“You should ask your ‘Qiaosheng’ for this instead. On the one hand, he refuses to divorce me, and one the other he goes on messing up with you. I also want to know what on earth he wants…” While saying so, she glances at the man’s distant figure with mixed feelings.

She doesn’t believe that this man can’t figure it out that she just did so deliberately to revenge on Xia Wanyan!
