Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 2034: Chapter 2028: Leaving the Imperial Capital Is Fine Too

"You are my family, my loved one. I just want to spend my life with you, to watch our daughter grow up together. That’s all I wish for. Without you, my life would lose its color, and I would just be an empty shell. An’an, please don’t keep pushing me away, okay? If there’s anything upsetting you, just tell me. I’ll handle it, all you need to do is be happy. And as for the divorce you mentioned, let’s not bring it up. I won’t let go unless I’m dead. Even if you go to the ends of the earth, I’ll follow you there." Li Zhao had never spoken such sweet words to An Hao before when they were together, but now he was saying them in a stream.

Li Zhao said this because when he was leaving that day, Chu Molin had said something to him as he passed by. Chu Molin’s original words were: "A wife is married to be cherished, not to be treated poorly. It’s your wife whom you’ll spend your life with out of love. Family is family, but don’t treat your wife like an outsider because of your family. If her heart isn’t steady, what’s keeping a woman who lacks a sense of security from leaving?"

After returning home, Li Zhao thought about Chu Molin’s words for several days and finally understood his point, which led to his resolute stance. He clearly didn’t want An Hao to leave, so why not first make peace with his wife and then apologize to his mother?

His mother gave birth to him and raised him; her anger is fleeting, and once it’s gone, she won’t hold a grudge. But a wife is different. If she leaves, she’s on her own. She could marry or stay single, but if she marries, she becomes someone else’s. By then, if he regrets and cries, his wife won’t come back, and that’s not the outcome he wants.

As for the saying, "You can marry again if your wife is gone, but you only have one mother," for him, that’s nonsense. When his wife married him, for better or worse, she walked through life with him. How could he abandon her when things don’t go smoothly?

Besides, An Hao is a wife he loves. Li Zhao believes that if he did divorce An Hao, it wouldn’t be long before men would be lining up at her door. Others might not know An Hao’s talents, but Li Zhao does. If such an outstanding woman marries him and he doesn’t cherish her, is he still human? So, whatever happens, he won’t let his beloved woman leave with their child.

"My mind is a bit confused. Let me be. I thought you’d come to divorce me, but turns out that’s not it." An Hao’s mind was genuinely in turmoil now. Why did things not go as she thought they would? Just now, she was firm, but after hearing Li Zhao’s words, she didn’t know what to do.

"Don’t think about it. I’ve already moved out. Wherever you go, I’ll go. If you don’t want to stay in the Imperial Capital, we can go back to S Province. Anyway, we still have our business and home there. If you want to open a shop, we’ll open another one." Li Zhao had already thought about the future. At worst, they could live there just like before; that place is also their home, isn’t it?

"Why bother?" An Hao didn’t expect Li Zhao to be this stubborn sometimes.

"Don’t worry, Mom will come around." Li Zhao didn’t tell An Hao to let his mom have another child or suggest his dad remarry, but he believed that although his mom would be angry to hear his words, she would eventually understand.
