Chapter 629: 560 He is punishing himself
Wen Nian’s constant pacing gave Song Lili a headache!
"Ah Nian..."
"Zhongli’s matters, you shouldn’t think about them anymore, it’s between their family and the Royal Family of Country M."
Wen Nian said.
Song Lili stood up, pulled Wen Nian over, and made him sit beside her,
"Although this is something Zhongli Wuzhi is dealing with himself, I really don’t want Zhongli Wuzhi to have any relationship with the Princess of Country M out of selfish reasons."
"What else can he do then? Lu Xiaoer broke up with him, and she was quite definitive about it."
Wen Nian shrugged,
"Xiaoer and you really have some similarities in certain aspects."
"Ah?"
"Once you’ve set your mind on something, no matter how much anyone talks, you just won’t listen."
Wen Nian said indifferently.
He was soothing Wen Qichen while speaking,
"What... it sounds like you are blaming me."
"I can actually understand Wuzhi’s current actions, including his decision to marry Princess Chinian."
"Understand?"
Wen Nian glanced at Song Lili, whose face was full of disbelief, and chuckled,
"You should remember... Bai Qiantan."
"..."
Wen Nian had only tentatively mentioned the name, and Song Lili’s expression had already turned drastically sour,
"If you hadn’t returned to Anlin, hadn’t been transferred to the President Mansion, I might have married Bai Qiantan."
"..."
Song Lili glared fiercely at him, "It seems like you really regret not being able to marry Bai Qiantan?"
"Hahaha!"
Wen Nian suddenly burst into laughter, his laughter causing Wen Qichen in his arms to chuckle along.
Song Lili furrowed her brows, quickly reached out, and gently poked Wen Qichen’s little nose,
"You little girl, what are you laughing for? Do you even understand what your dad just said?"
"Giggle..."
"Still laughing, if what your dad said had come true, there would be no you, little girl."
"Giggle..."
"This girl must be crazy."
Song Lili swallowed hard, unthinkingly.
Wen Nian softly laughed, "People who love to laugh usually don’t have bad luck, just like you..."
Song Lili snorted softly,
"Don’t think I’ll forget what you just said so quickly because you’ve changed the topic."
"Madam, I was only making an analogy—"
"What analogy? I know Bai Qiantan is in Xilin, if you feel regret or remorse, you can go to Xilin and bring her back."
"Madam, ah..."
Wen Nian realized he had stepped into a minefield with Song Lili. He couldn’t continue to coddle Wen Qichen any longer. Placing the child on the bed, he immediately embraced Song Lili,
"By my meaning, the current Ah Zhi is just like I was back then, misunderstood by you, blamed by you, detested by you."
"..."
"Even knowing that many things were misunderstandings, even still deeply loving in the heart, but also knowing that the damage done to you can’t be undone, so... the only thing to do is to punish oneself."
"..."
"Because it’s not the person I truly want in my heart, the word marriage loses all meaning. Whether it’s Bai Qiantan or Princess Chinian, it’s meaningless."
"But if Zhongli marries Princess Chinian, it means something to Princess Chinian!"
"I don’t believe Zhongli doesn’t know what drug Princess Chinian gave him that day at the hot spring hotel!"
Song Lili said angrily.
"He knows."
"..."
"He is punishing himself, Lili."
