Chapter 83: Life on the Road (End)

"No, I strongly oppose." At the dining table, Li XiaoYue sternly expressed her opinion as she looked at Zhang Heng and Gu Zhun sitting opposite her.

"..." Gu Zhun lowered his head and kept quiet. Zhang Heng nervously squeezed Gu Zhun's hand under the table and silently waited for Gu Zhun's mom to continue speaking.

Li XiaoYue continued: "I know that I don't have the right to interfere in your affairs ever since I left you and your dad, but I want you to understand the reality of your situation. Society will judge you harshly and you would have to live with this pain for the rest of your life. Do you both understand? There is a long road ahead for the both of you and even if you truly love each other, it is hard to foresee the future. What if you are unable to withstand the pain and pressure and choose to go separate ways instead? Do you understand how painful it will be? Your mom... faced it before and understands that sort of pain... it is really painful..." Li XiaoYu clutched her chest and sobbed.

Gu Zhun looked at Zhang Heng. How could they not know that this was a difficult and thorny path? But how would they know the outcome if they don't give it a shot?

Li XiaoYue wiped her tears and refilled the red tea and snacks for Zhang Heng and Gu Zhun before she continued: "When you were eight, your dad asked for a divorce but he didn't give me an explanation. I still resented him even after I got remarried. What did I do so wrong for him to easily divorce someone who was married to him for more than ten years? It was only until you came... and told me about your father's dilemma that I could finally let go of my resentment..."

"Your mom is a prime example! Unable to withstand financial pressure, we split up and suffered miserably. If that was the case, he shouldn't have married me! Why did he marry and hurt me! Son! Mom doesn't want you to have the same ending as I did. One moment, you're on cloud nine and the next moment, you fall into a pit of despair. It's really painful!"

Li XiaoYue couldn't hold back her tears. The tears pooling in her eyes overflowed and dripped down. Gu Zhun grabbed almost all the tissues from the tissue box and handed it to Li XiaoYu to no avail. It still couldn't stop Li XiaoYu's endless waterworks.

There were no other sounds in the house except for Li XiaoYue's cries.

Zhang Heng broke the silence: "Auntie, trust me. No matter what happens, I would never let Gu Zhun go. Even if the sky falls down, I would shoulder it with him. I will not selfishly leave him because I think that it's for his own good nor would I choose to run away and escape by myself. That would be too contemptible."

Li XiaoYue laughed bitterly: "Hahaha... That's right. During that year, Auntie chose to run away by herself... That's really despicable of me... I am the same as your father. During a difficult situation, I chose to run away instead of trying to work things out together... In the past, if I firmly chose not to leave and asked him about his difficulties... would everything be different? Hehehe..." Li XiaoYue's knitted brows unfurrowed. Although her tears continued to flow, she had a faint smile.

Gu Zhun stood up, walked behind Li XiaoYu, and patted her shoulder: "Mom... you don't have to worry about me. I've grown up. After deep consideration, I've decided to be with Zhang Heng and I am serious about it. In the past, I kept avoiding Zhang Heng. I was afraid that I would be unable to give him complete love, afraid that Zhang Heng would leave me, and I would be hurt once again. After all, the more you love someone, the deeper the pain... I closed myself up and ran away... It was only when Zhang Heng told me that he liked me... he liked me ever since junior high school..."

Gu Zhun frowned and his nose turned red. Unexpectedly, he started crying: "... I didn't know that a person like him existed in this world. Someone who was willing to stay by my side even though I am weak... he also accompanied me and traversed all over to look for you and dad... I finally realized... I love him. I still love him even though I might get hurt..."
