Rebirth: It's Not You, It's Me

"You're crazy."

"You're so popular, you know that? Someone actually asked me for your contact information after knowing about our divorce."

"It's almost your turn!"

"Yeah, quite a few. It makes me laugh. You want my child to call someone else dad? What has happened to the world?"

"My charm has nowhere to go!"

"Please take away your charm! My house is about to be robbed."

"Don't worry, I can't really accept confessions from people I don't know well."

"You can't arrange any more rivals for me."

"Okay! People who I've known for so long all say they love me and can't leave me, but they don't show any mercy when they hurt me, let alone people I don't even know."

Xiao Shi was so speechless after hearing what I said that he continued with the next sentence.

After that meal, I was so full that I couldn’t sit up straight. I had to lie sideways to avoid feeling uncomfortable.

After dinner, Xiao Shi washed the dishes and put away the things. He is a loyal little puppy.

The relationship between the two people gradually became peaceful.

The next day I went back to my parents' house with four kids and a trunk full of stuff.

The neighbors gathered around and watched us move things into our home one batch at a time.

"Didn't they say Luo Luo got married and divorced? I've seen this man several times, and the kids still call him dad! Could it be that Luo Luo has found a new partner?"

"This is the child's biological father." The old aunt came over, listened to the neighbors' discussions, and explained for me.

"Is it still the same one?"

"Yes, that's why he is the biological father of these children."

"This boy is so good-looking!"

"How can a celebrity not look good?"

"No wonder the children are so good-looking. The couple are both so beautiful, how could the children be bad?"

The neighbors felt that talking outside was not enough, so they followed us in and kept looking at Xiaoshi and talking to him, but Xiaoshi didn't understand the dialect, so they had to ask me to translate.

At noon, all the relatives came to my house for dinner, and my mother and aunt prepared a lot of delicious food.

After dinner and distributing red envelopes, we prepared to go back, but the children didn’t want to leave, so I had to leave the two older ones at my mother’s house to play for two days and take the two younger ones away.

The next day, because I had to send Xiaoshi off to catch a plane, I asked Yu Che to come over early in the morning before dawn to look after the child while I went to send Xiaoshi off.

Xiaoshi hugged me at the airport and was reluctant to let go, and I felt an indescribable sense of loss in my heart.

Maybe this is the feeling of my life! All the smooth and beautiful things are exchanged for feelings.

This time I took the initiative to kiss Xiaoshi. Neither of us said anything and he hugged me even tighter.

We didn't separate until we had to enter the station.

After he left, I drove directly back to the county town. The two little ones were not at home, so I thought that Yu Che must have taken the children to their home.

I drove to pick up the two children again.

And bring some souvenirs with you. It's not good to go to someone's home empty-handed during the New Year.

When I arrived at Yu Che's house, it felt like a different world. The places I used to visit often now seemed unfamiliar.

I knocked on the door. The nanny opened the door and was surprised to see it was me. She quickly let me in.

"Uncle, aunt, happy new year, I'm here to pick up the kids."

"Luo Luo is here, come in and sit down." Auntie quickly asked me to sit down.

Shouted "Xiao Che, come out quickly, Luo Luo is here."

Yu Che heard his mother calling him and hurried out, his face full of excitement that he couldn't hide.

His mother saw it.

"Auntie, I won't stay any longer. After picking up the child, I will go back."

"Why are you in such a hurry? The children are having fun now. It won't be too late for you to leave after lunch!"

"Really, no need. It's not appropriate for me to eat here."

"Why is it inappropriate? You are a great contributor to our Shangguan family."

"Luo Luo, just eat here. My aunt and the others will be here soon and I'll introduce them to you."

Before I could answer, the doorbell rang again.

Everyone looked towards the door, and the people who came in were Grandma Shangguan, William, Grandma Shangguan’s two sons and daughter-in-law.

Is it such a coincidence?

"Luo Luo, what a coincidence!" After hearing Grandma Shangguan's words, everyone suddenly realized that we actually knew each other.

When William saw me, his eyes lit up instantly.

"Cousin, this is the magical Chinese girl I told you about." William said to Yu Che excitedly.

Then he pulled my sleeve and said, "Luo Luo, I thought I might not see you again, but I didn't expect that we are so destined to meet."

"Yes!"

"Grandma Shangguan, Happy New Year."

"Luo Luo, Happy New Year. I'm glad to see you here."

"It's really fate. I didn't expect you to be the aunt that Yu Che was talking about."

"You and Yu Che know each other!"

"Yeah, we've known each other for a long time."

"Aunt, she is the girl I told you about, the one Yu Che can't let go of. She is also the mother of Little Pumpkin and Little Bamboo."

This sentence makes some people happy and some people sad.

"Luo Luo, you are dating my cousin, right?" William was obviously disappointed.

"No, we've separated."

This sentence made some people happy and some people sad.

"Cousin, I'm pursuing Luo Luo now, so this doesn't count as me stealing your girlfriend, right?"

"No!" Yu Che and I objected at the same time.

"Why? Didn't you two separate already?"

"I'm not planning on dating, let alone developing an international relationship. I've been married before and have four children, much older than you. What's more, my ex-boyfriend is your cousin, so we're not suitable."

"I don't care about these! I like you as a person."

"I care. I don't like foreign relationships."

"I don't agree either. Although we are separated, I will always protect Luo Luo. You should stay out of this." Yu Che retorted.

"But Luo Luo will never forgive you for what you did! Why do you want to suffer for yourself? I don't understand."

"You two can talk. I'm going home first. Shangguan Yuche, you can send the child back to me later."

Then turn around and say goodbye to the elders.

In this situation, there was no way my aunt would keep me for dinner.

Grandma Shangguan also felt that her grandson and nephew needed to communicate with each other, so she didn't persuade me to stay.

They walked me out the door, and then I drove away from this place of trouble.

By the time Yu Che brought the children back, they were already asleep from exhaustion.

After putting the child back in the bedroom, we went downstairs.

"Luo Luo, do you know William's identity?"

"do not know."

"He is the heir to the Marquisate of England."

"Well, does it have anything to do with me?"

"So you're not suitable."

"He's not a marquis, and that's not appropriate, is it?"

“He’s a little persistent.”

"What does it have to do with me? I've already said I refuse cross-border relationships and I refuse anyone who has anything to do with you."

"Do I really disgust you so much?"

"Yes, I have never hated someone so much."

"Your words are like a knife, stabbing my heart."

"It's the same for us. My words are rude and your actions are ugly."
