Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 2520: Chapter 2514: You’re Overthinking It

"Indeed, Qin Xue is right. If my previous actions displeased you, I ask for your forgiveness. I’ve grown up with Xiao Qi since childhood, it’s a habit by now, so I didn’t think twice about avoiding certain things when together. Anyone might feel unhappy witnessing that, even though I’m not that kind of person, I still acted that way. Please don’t think I am that kind of person. Like Qin Xue said, I’m just trying to protect myself from getting hurt. If you refuse to marry Qiqi because of me, then I am truly sorry. I never thought it would turn out like this. As you know, I’m married now with a family, so my actions are indeed inappropriate. Yet, I honestly did not anticipate things would come to this." An Hao never expected her actions to cause Nangong Beiying to think this way. It really was her fault, although she never intended it to end up like this. Truly a mistake.

"You’re overthinking. It’s not because of you that I won’t marry him. It’s because his actions make me unhappy, even without you, there would be someone else. Hence, I don’t want to deal with such things in the future. That’s why I haven’t considered agreeing with him. You know how men behave if they don’t reject women approaching them, you know the consequences better than I do, don’t you?" Nangong Beiying asked An Hao. Her own husband nearly parted ways with her because of another woman. If she still thinks such actions are acceptable, then Beiying would have nothing more to say.

"Yingying, I understand your feelings now. I will control my behavior better in the future, I promise." An Hao truly understood what Nangong Beiying meant. Indeed, as Beiying said, An Hao also found such matters frustrating. She almost reached the brink of divorce with Li Zhao because of Ou Keren, and now she definitely doesn’t want it to happen again, especially concerning someone she cares about. She wouldn’t want to see that. So she pondered how she could make Nangong Beiying agree to Xiao Qi?

"I believe you can change, but I don’t trust him. He never rejects those he cares about, so I might need to assess things further." Even someone as close as An Hao wasn’t willing to accept Xiao Qi’s behavior, let alone Xiao Qi’s closeness with other women. At the end of the day, what Nangong Beiying truly cared about was the situation with Gu Beilin.

An Hao was just an excuse for her rejection. Who knows what An Hao would think if she knew Nangong Beiying felt this way. Truly laughable and sad, this kind of situation was bound to be wrong, so it was merely a thought.

That was precisely what Nangong Beiying didn’t want to think about. It felt overly complicated, leaving her particularly speechless. In such times, what could she say? She ought to raise and nurture her own life, that’s the sensible thing. Relying on others was pointless.

"Uh, is this really okay?" An Hao didn’t know what else to say. It was an unavoidable situation for her. She had merely gotten used to acting, overdoing it excessively, leading many to call her foolish. However, she still believed the way she had acted was her best protection.

Who could have predicted the situations she’d encounter upon revealing her true self? Every injury left her at a loss for words. She endured the pain, but she didn’t want Xiao Qi to end up without a wife because of her. Otherwise, the family would be truly upset.

An Hao pondered ways to make Nangong Beiying agree, but no matter how she thought about it, she couldn’t find a solution. Nangong Beiying was more capable than her, had higher social standing, and An Hao really couldn’t do much even if she wanted to say or do something. What’s more, knowing their lack of marriage has partly to do with her, she felt even more guilty.
