My mother-in-law is remarrying and wants my family's assets as dowry. Die!

Early the next morning.

Fang Shu accompanied Lin Jun to the hospital for an IV drip.

Despite Fang Shu's excellent acupuncture technique, Lin Jun still grimaced in pain.

The main problem is that his palms and wrists are covered with needle marks; he's practically scarred and there's no good spot left!

Fang Shu suggested with some concern, "Why don't we just puncture your ankle this afternoon?"

Lin Jun was stunned for a moment after hearing this: "You can even use it on the ankle?"

Fang Shu nodded: "Of course, don't you trust my skills?"

Lin Jun immediately shook his head: "It's better to stick to my two hands. I'm worried that if my legs are ruined again and I start to limp, it will be very troublesome to escape if we encounter any danger!"

Fang Shu teased, "I didn't expect you to be such a coward. With me protecting you, you don't need to run away at all!"

Lin Jun laughed and said, "This is called being prepared. I really can't stand walking with a limp. Just thinking about it makes me feel terrible!"

Fang Shu replied earnestly, "Then I can only prick your hand as much as I can, but you'll have to bear it!"

Lin Jun nodded.

Fang Shu sat beside Lin Jun, gently massaging his temples: "This will help relieve your pain and enhance the effects of the medicine!"

Lin Jun praised, "You really know your stuff! It's such a blessing to have you by my side!"

Fang Shu rolled her eyes at Lin Jun: "You're only realizing this now? From the moment you met me, I was your lucky star!"

Lin Jun solemnly agreed: "Of course, I realized that a long time ago!"

Fang Shu was very satisfied to hear this, and she couldn't hide the smile on her face.

Looking at Fang Shu, Lin Jun felt incredibly happy and sincerely exclaimed, "Once everything settles down, I want to give myself a proper vacation, and we'll take a spontaneous, carefree trip together!"

"I must drive the 318 in this lifetime!" Fang Shu shouted the slogan.

Lin Jun immediately agreed: "I will definitely fulfill your wish!"

After her initial excitement, a hint of disappointment flashed in Fang Shu's eyes: "It's a pity that for someone like you, one thing after another keeps happening. When will things finally settle down?"

Just as Lin Jun was about to speak in his defense, he suddenly realized that he had nothing to say.

He couldn't help but think of the time he spent with Yu He, when they always said that once this matter was finished, they would properly prepare for pregnancy.

But they waited for ten years and still didn't have children!

Lin Jun was genuinely worried that he would keep putting off fulfilling his promise to Fang Shu!

Fang Shu carefully observed Lin Jun's reaction and asked very perceptively, "Are you thinking about your ex-wife again?"

Lin Jun didn't hide anything and nodded: "It's because of what you just said. My life seems to be one thing after another, with no time when things truly settle down!"

Fang Shu cautiously pressed further, "Do you feel guilty towards her?"

Lin Jun didn't know whether to nod or shake his head.

Fang Shu then asked, "Don't you even understand your own true emotions?"

Lin Jun answered the question frankly: "I really don't understand. To be honest, I do feel a little guilty, but not much! But when I think about how she ultimately didn't choose me, that guilt disappears!"

Fang Shu put her arm around Lin Jun's shoulder: "People always have to learn to look forward. Don't you think what I said makes sense? We can't always dwell on the past!"

Lin Jun smiled.

Fang Shu rolled her eyes at Lin Jun again: "Am I wrong? Why are you laughing like that?"

Lin Jun explained, "I laughed like that because what you said made so much sense. You made me feel like I was truly living! Many times, I don't even recognize my true self, but you've dispelled many of my misconceptions!"

Fang Shu pinched Lin Jun's nose with some dissatisfaction: "What do you mean I exposed a lot of your misconceptions? Are you just saying that to please me? If you don't point out a few misconceptions that I exposed, I'll get angry!"

Lin Jun knew Fang Shu was being coquettish, but Lin Jun took it very seriously: "I used to think that many things should wait until they were completely prepared before doing them, but your appearance has taught me that nothing can be completely prepared, because the dust will never truly settle!"

Fang Shu gently kissed Lin Jun's cheek: "Silly boy!"

Lin Jun nodded and sighed, "Maybe I'm really too foolish sometimes. I'm successful in some aspects, but not in all. I always think too idealistically about many things in life. If I weren't so busy with one thing after another, Yu He and I would have had our own child long ago. Maybe having a child would have made everything different. Maybe she wouldn't have chosen me, but she would have chosen her own child!"

Fang Shu disagreed with this view: "I know your ex-wife didn't put you first in her heart, and you feel very resentful. You think that maybe after you and she have a child, she will put your child first! Then you won't suffer so much! Maybe your ex-wife won't leave you!"

Lin Jun looked at Fang Shu and secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she found that Fang Shu was not jealous.

Fang Shu continued, "But have you ever thought about this? Maybe if you really did have a child, your child would just be ahead of you in the line of succession, or behind her mother! You should be very grateful that your destiny to have a child hasn't arrived yet, so your child won't suffer along with you!"

After listening, Lin Jun fell into a long silence.

If what Fang Shu said is true, then the fact that she and Yu He don't have children is the luckiest thing in the world, at least for Lin Jun!

Fang Shu laughed and said, "Am I cruel?"

Lin Jun asked in confusion, "Why did you say you were cruel?"

Fang Shu said with a hint of smugness, "I've shattered every last remaining illusion your ex-wife left in your heart. Don't you think I'm doing something incredibly cruel?"

Lin Jun was taken aback; Fang Shu's idea was unusual.

Fang Shu suddenly said seriously, "If you don't deny it, then you really think I'm cruel!"

Lin Jun hurriedly explained, "I'm just very curious why you suddenly had this idea. When I decided to divorce Yu He, everything was already destined! My future will no longer include her, and I will no longer appear in her future! You don't need to worry about me having any lingering ties with her. Maybe other men care about some 'white moonlight' or 'cinnabar mole,' but I don't!"

Fang Shu stared intently into Lin Jun's eyes for a long while before finally breaking into a smile: "I believe you now. I see the sincerity I'm looking for in your eyes!"
