"Because once I laid a hand on her, it meant there would no longer be any sliver of hope between you and me, because I would have to take responsibility for her, just like what I told you on the night of your eighteenth birthday, do you remember what I said to you?"
Long Fengxi hummed in acknowledgment, "I remember, you said if you took me, you would dedicate your whole life to me."
"I don’t want to lose you forever. After calming down, I realized that every time I see you, I still can’t control the feelings I have for you. Feng Xi, the time we spent together after getting back together was really sweet. I want to live with you like that forever. Losing you twice, Feng Xi, it was my fault for not being able to catch you. I won’t let it happen again, even if you want to live for the rest of your life, I’ll be with you."
Long Fengxi felt a sting in her eyes, "Nice words, but if you don’t carry on your family’s lineage, won’t your mother skin you alive?"
"I think she would understand it’s better than losing her son."

Early in the morning, while Father Long was still in deep sleep, the phone wouldn’t stop ringing.
The Dragon Mother was called out by her close friends to play Mahjong, leaving him alone in the room.
He reached for his phone and saw it was an international number.
Wondering who it could be.
As soon as he answered the call, Father Long was stunned.
The caller was none other than He Meiwei, whom they had not been in contact with for a long time.
Ever since He Meiwei was forcibly taken for an abortion and left the Long Family, they had completely cut off all ties.
Unexpectedly, she had called him again.
He Meiwei laughed on the other end, "I just returned from abroad and haven’t had time to change my number yet. Could I invite you out for tea?"
Father Long jolted, "It’s better not to, in case the family finds out, it won’t just be me getting punished, you too will face consequences."
"It’s just a tea and a brief meeting. I’m a woman and I dare to, are you too scared? I don’t mean anything else, don’t misunderstand." He Meiwei’s voice rippled in his heart, "If you’re too chicken and don’t want to, then forget it, pretend I never called."
"Wait a moment..." Father Long asked, "Where shall we meet?"
After hanging up, he thought, it’s just a meeting, nothing more, not going would make him look like a coward, which would be humiliating.
He changed his clothes, got ready and left the house.
He drove to the tea house they had agreed to meet at.
He hadn’t been there long when the door opened. He saw He Meiwei, her makeup heavy, her wine-red curly hair draped over her shoulders, dressed in trendy and sexy attire, elegantly walking in.
Father Long’s eyes glued to her, "Meiwei, you’ve become even prettier than before."
"Really?" He Meiwei smiled sweetly, settling opposite him, "Because of what happened between us, you suffered."
"Don’t talk like that, it was my fault, I couldn’t protect you." Father Long asked, "Did you go abroad?"
"Yes, I had lived abroad before. I couldn’t stay in China anymore, so I went and lived there for quite a while." Her voice dipped slightly, "I was hoping to find a good person to marry, but I never met a man who was as good to me as you were."
Father Long felt flattered, "Look at the hardships you’ve endured because of me, and still you say this, it really makes me feel quite embarrassed."
"That was your family’s doing to me, it has nothing to do with you." He Meiwei inquired, "How are things with your wife now?"
"How else could they be, it’s always been the same."
