Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 1970: Chapter 1964: Once Decided, No Room for Softness

Later on, Li Zhao appeared in front of An Hao multiple times. Sometimes, he came to ask her to return to the Li’s, sometimes he told her not to be mad at Chen Lei, saying she was just old-fashioned. Other times, he suggested maybe they should have another child.

An Hao felt even more disheartened by this, and she didn’t want to talk to Li Zhao anymore. Until today, when she brought up divorce. Watching all this unfold, An Hao didn’t want to tell the Xiaos, nor her own parents, who all thought she was just homesick, hence staying with them temporarily. Little did they suspect anything else.

Li Zhao, for reasons unknown, also didn’t let the Xiaos know about their current situation. Up to now, the Xiaos weren’t aware of the chaos between An Hao, Li Zhao, and the Lis.

In the face of all this, An Hao kept it all hidden well. She never imagined that her husband, who used to love her dearly, would treat her this way.

She didn’t know what happened after Li Zhao went back. Facing such a behaving husband, An Hao had no mood to talk with him. His meaning was clear enough, An Hao accepted it. She would raise the child on her own. Although her heart ached so badly that she couldn’t breathe, she gathered herself and returned home, without anyone noticing her distress. Until today, when the decision of divorce was made, An Hao’s heavy heart, though painful, felt like a huge weight was beginning to lift.

”An Hao, I don’t know exactly what happened between you two, but I want to tell you, living together is just the two of you, not with your in-laws. The only ones who can stay together are the couple. It’s really not necessary to let yourself be so sad over others. As far as I’m concerned, divorce is just ordinary. But since you have a child, you need to think about your daughter. Do you really want her to grow up in a single-parent family?” Qin Xue wasn’t trying to persuade An Hao.

It’s just that her daughter is so young, and if there is room for reconciliation, of course, she hopes for a good outcome. If she were to encounter such a situation herself, she might run even faster.

It’s just that now Li Zhao’s decision is to move out and live with An Hao’s mother, not to have An Hao move back to the Lis. From this, it seems Li Zhao is siding with An Hao. Since Li Zhao has made a decision, should An Hao reconsider too?

According to Li Zhao, he hasn’t done anything to wrong An Hao, nor has he violated any foundational principles. So shouldn’t a couple with feelings sit down and have an open and honest conversation?

”Qin Xue, there are many things here that I don’t know how to say, but I’ve never felt this exhausted before, so I really don’t want to continue. Letting go might be the best outcome for us, truly.” An Hao didn’t want Qin Xue to keep persuading her, having finally made this decision. She was afraid if Qin Xue continued, she would soften. If she softened this time, what about next time? What should she do?

The Lis is Li Zhao’s family, where all his closest people are. How could he possibly let go? So she didn’t want to make things difficult for him either. Like Chen Lei said, without her, there would still be other women.

An Hao didn’t want to hold onto a situation she already knew the outcome of because it was pointless.

”An Hao, I know you’ve made your decision, I won’t try to persuade you anymore. If you think this is best, then do as you wish. But if you don’t even give him a chance to explain, do you think that’s fair to him? You don’t let him know what’s on your mind, is that fair to you?” Qin Xue is not someone who usually persuades others because she unconsciously puts herself in others’ shoes.

But because of this way of thinking, she can better understand the other person’s feelings. It’s truly painful and extremely heartbreaking.
