Learning to Love Again

They walk into the giant auditorium which was almost filled up and try to make their way to the front row where their seats are.

They came a bit early, but the crowd is still huge.

That shows just how popular Kim Xia is.

"There are a lot of rumors going around about Kim Xia. I read in a tabloid that she allegedly slept her way to the top." Han Lili pauses for a moment to look at Su Lian. "Have you heard about this?"

"I have, but I don't think it's true." Su Lian holds onto her son as they try to navigate their way through the crowd of people.

"Neither do I." Han Lili gets upset. "I'm not really a fan of hers, but I hate it when people try to discredit a woman's hard work."

Su Lian raises an eyebrow. "Not a fan? Then why did you buy these tickets?"

"I- I didn't buy them. " Han Lili decides to be honest. Su Lian is her 'future sister-in-law' after all.

"I got them from an acquaintance and I felt like spending some time with you. What' the point of having a friend if you don't go out together?"

Su Lian chuckles lightly. "Well, I'm glad you invited me. There are some things I need to get my mind off of. This is a good distraction."

"Things like what?" Han Lili grows curious.

Su Lian lowers her voice so Su Yichen can't hear her. "My son's father came back. He has been popping up everywhere and he knows I have a child."

"He knows about Yichen?" Han Lil widens her eyes in surprise. "Is he trying to have a custody battle with you?"

The iceberg actually knows about his son and he hasn't even told her or their parents yet.

'So much for being family.'

"No, I-I haven't told him that he's the father. I'm not ready. At least, I don't think I'm ready." Su Lian looks down at her son. "Do you think it's wrong? Do you think it's unfair to them?"

She can't understand why she's telling this woman that she barely knows all this and even asking for her opinion.

She just feels a that she can trust her.

"I think you should look at the bigger picture. Just do what you believe is best for all three of you."

While Han Lili says all of this, she can't help but feel guilty.

Su Lian telling her all of this means that she trusts her. She texted her brother to come meet them here, but Su Lian is unaware of this. More importantly, she's clearly not ready for this.

She has to choose between her brother and newly made friend.

Why is everything so complicated?

Does she even have a right to interfere in their relationship?

"Do you love him?"

Su Lian is taken back by her question. "I-I - yes, I do love him. I never stopped loving him."

Her voice is extremely quiet, but Han Lili hears every word and immediately becomes delighted. "Well if you love him, then what's stopping you?"

"I love him, but that doesn't mean I want to be with him. He never cared about me and he even cheated. Why would I want to go back to a relationship like that."

"No, he didn't." Han Lili accidentally blurts out.

She could accept any accusation against her brother except him being fickle.

This is something that she will never believe.

The Iceberg is cruel, emotionless, rude, and a bunch of other negative things, but he isn't unfaithful.

He is an extremely loyal dog to all those he accepts as his own. If he doesn't like a woman, he would end things and move on, he would never cheat.

"You don't even know him and yet you're defending him. I thought you were supposed to be my friend." Su Lian speaks in a jokingly dissatisfied tone.

Han Lili looks at her with a slightly serious expression. "You say he cheated on you. Did someone tell you? Did you find some girl's things in his house? It could have been his sister's or something, you shouldn't assume."

"No, I saw it with my own eyes. He was naked in bed with another woman."
