Chapter 106 - 103: Letting Go Is To Forgive Yourself
"If you don’t want to match, I can understand. After all, it was our Tian Family who wronged you, made you suffer so much. Child, your birthday is coming up soon; is there anything you want? I’ll buy it for you. I’ve never celebrated your birthday all these years!"
"I don’t need anything!" she murmured absentmindedly. Indeed, what she needs is a mother—can she give her that? She yearns for her mother’s companionship—can she make it happen?
Birthdays—people often say that a child’s birthday is a day of suffering for the mother!
Li Si fell silent. If she hadn’t met Tian Yaruo, she could’ve still fooled herself into believing she could steel her heart and refuse outright. But now, staring at the woman across from her, her disheveled appearance and tear-streaked makeup, a profound sense of shared sorrow welled up in her heart. Who should be blamed for all of this?
This is the woman who gave birth to her! Even if there were countless mistakes, wasn’t the child innocent? What sins did he commit?
"Then I’ll buy you a house near your school!" Tian Yaruo suggested again, trying to do something to make up for her sense of guilt.
"I don’t need any of this! When are you going back to Beijing?" Li Si bowed her head, rubbing the white coffee cup in front of her as she asked.
She had already made up her mind. Let it be—consider it repaying the debt of giving birth to her. After this, they’d no longer owe each other anything!
Tian Yaruo froze: "You..."
Li Si gave a bitter smile. "I’ve agreed. I’m willing to do the matching."
