A face full of peach blossoms

  Liu Dongnan's face turned iron-green! Can't even touch himself now? One touch and he vomits, what does it mean?! Does he think I'm dirty?! Liu Dongnan was really, really, really angry, but hearing the suppressed crying sounds from the bathroom, he felt heartache and helplessness. Ziyan, how did we end up like this?

  Liu Dongnan slowly walked into the bathroom, squatted down beside Su Ziyu and said dejectedly: "Ziyu, I'm sorry, it's all my fault, don't cry."

  Su Ziyan lifted her tear-stained face and asked in a hoarse voice: "All of this, what's the reason? Why? Why?"

  Su Ziyan's despair and sorrow, at this moment, Liu Dongnan felt the same. He had once sworn to treasure Su Ziyan for a lifetime, never letting her cry or be heartbroken. He had said he would treasure her most, but in the end, he still treated her like grass to be trampled on.

  At this moment, Liu Dongnan said sincerely: "Zi Yan, let's not make trouble anymore. From now on, just the two of us, living a good life, okay? I know it was my fault that hurt your heart. But these years, I haven't been doing well either, suffering from torment day and night."

  "In my heart, from start to finish, I have only loved you. Getting entangled with Su Shuihe is the biggest mistake I've made in this life. I know I'm guilty and cannot be forgiven. Ziyuan, can you forgive me? Ziyuan, can't you stop ignoring me? You don't even know how much pain it causes me when you do this!"

  "There have been many times when I thought that if you just spoke up, I would definitely break up with Su Shuihe. I've been waiting and waiting. I even deliberately brought Su Shuihe to a high-profile event, hoping that you would fiercely quarrel with me and scold me. Zi Yan, I'd rather have you hit me or yell at me than have you look at me coldly and ignore me like a stranger..."

  "Zi Yan, from now on, just the two of us, let's live a good life, grow old together, okay? I know there are knots in our hearts and many problems between us. Let's work together to overcome them, okay? Zi Yan, Zi Yan, okay?"

  This is the first time Liu Dongnan has mentioned Su Shuihe, mentioning this betrayal of love, this failure of marriage, mentioning his inner feelings, contradictions, pain, remorse, and torment...

  Su Ziyan cried until she became a tearful person, and her heart felt much better. Liu Dongnan's words made her very moved. But also, she was very afraid, now men's promises often turn into nothing in the blink of an eye: "Dongnan, can we still have happiness?"

  Liu Dongnan said firmly: "Zi Yan, as long as we work together, we will definitely have happiness. Let's work together, okay? I want to grow old with you, I want to love you without leaving each other, I want our children and grandchildren to be full of joy! Zi Yan, you don't know how much I love you...... Zi Yan, let's work together, okay?" After a long, long time, Su Ziyan finally nodded lightly, and Liu Dongnan was overjoyed.

  The next day, Su Ziyu woke up refreshed around noon. Liu Dongnan had already gone to work.

  Su Zi went downstairs and found Ming Yue arranging flowers in the living room.

  "Mom, sorry I'm late. What kind of flower is this? It looks nice." Su Ziyu really didn't understand these things.

  Su Ziyue looked at Mingyue and explained, "This is called the Three Drunken Peonies. In the morning, it blooms with white flowers, at noon they turn into peach-colored flowers, and in the evening they change to deep red. It's quite interesting."

  In the past, when Yu Mingyue thought of Su Ziyu's ignorance, she would involuntarily think that a nouveau riche girl is indeed so shallow! However, now it may be because her mood has changed, and she will no longer think about being a nouveau riche girl whenever something happens. Now she can look at things with an ordinary heart.

  Aoki came down from upstairs, yawning: "Mom, when did you learn to arrange flowers? It really looks good like this, elegant and comfortable to look at, with a master's level."

  "You little devil, you came downstairs with a messy bird's nest on your head and didn't even worry about people laughing at you."

  "Aoki stretched out his hand to scratch his short hair, and said discontentedly: "Mom, this is called fashion, it's called individuality, not messy! This kind of disheveled short hair is popular now, I've been working on it for a long time to get this effect."

  "Alas, I'm old and can't understand your young people's fashion trends. A good head of long hair, but you have to cut it like a boy's, and dye it too, looking like a foreigner, so awkward, without any feminine charm at all. Can't you just be like your aunt, isn't that good enough?"

  Qingmu curled his lip in disdain. Su Ziyuan's hair was always straight and black, like a clear soup noodle dish, and he was tired of looking at it! At the very least, Qingmu had had enough. From Su Ziyuan's 18th birthday to her current 28 years old, for ten whole years, he had never seen her change her hairstyle.

  Su Zi smiled and didn't say a word. From time to time, she picked up a hibiscus flower and handed it to Yu Mingyue.

  "Hey mom, I'm starving! Is there anything to eat?"

  "Have some fruit first, Liu Ma should be almost done."

  Speak of Cao Cao and Cao Cao arrives, Mrs. Liu comes over and says: "Madam, the meal is ready."

  Everyone sat down to eat, Qingmu deliberately excluded Su Ziyu, on the dinner table always talking about her experiences abroad, or mentioning the past of the Liu family, making it clear that Su Ziyu was an outsider, and would forever be just an outsider.

  Su Zi said it didn't matter, and she wasn't really hungry either. She ate a bit randomly and then stopped moving her chopsticks, sitting at the dinner table just to pass the time until everyone else finished eating.

  "Zi Yan, drink a bowl of chicken soup." Take good care of your body, and then you can have a son.

  Su Ziyan really didn't like drinking chicken soup, and the smell of it made her feel nauseous. But there was no way out, so she had to take it over, holding her breath, and drank the whole bowl of old chicken soup in one gulp. Then she quickly picked up a sprig of cilantro with her chopsticks to get rid of the taste in her mouth.

  Su Ziyan's behavior of clearly being unwilling but not refusing made Qingmu extremely displeased! He muttered to himself in a low voice: "Disgusting! Pretentious! Deserved it!"

  Su Zi gave Qing Mu a faint glance and didn't respond, pretending she hadn't heard.

  When everyone had eaten enough, Su Ziyu finally put down his chopsticks and said, "Mom, I'm planning to go back today, sort out some things, and bring over what I need. I might be late coming back, so don't wait for me for dinner." Su Ziyu really didn't want to sit at the same table eating, every time it was like attending a feast of Hongmen Banquet, indigestion.

  Yu Mingyue nodded: "Uh-huh."

  As soon as he left the Liu family's old house, Su Ziyu let out a long sigh of relief. In this house, he always felt oppressed, uncomfortable, and awkward, unable to truly feel at home, without that sense of comfort, relaxation, and freedom.

  Su Ziyan felt that she had never had a home! There was no real home that belonged to her. In Su Ziyan's heart, home meant having a loving husband, two lively and lovely children, and living happily together as a family.

  Su Zi said and rode his horse straight to Liu Qingyan's place.

  Liu Qingyan asked in surprise: "Wow, girl, you're radiant! The peach blossoms are so beautiful and vibrant. How come I think you look like a peach blossom on your face? Tell me the truth, won't you be eloping with someone? Quickly say, who is the adulterer?"
