Sweet Time Only for You: The Entanglement between Mr. Lu and Miss Song-Chapter 317: Hurt Before, So More Afraid to Repeat the Past

Seeing both Dad and Mommy there, he smiled and greeted them: "Mommy, can we sleep in Daddy’s room tonight?"

Both of them froze for a moment, then simultaneously blurted out—

"No!"

"No!"

Song Yinyin was taken aback and turned to look at the man beside her. His lips were tightly pursed, and his expression was even more somber.

She coughed lightly and quickly said, "Dabai, your dad has to go on a business trip tomorrow, so let him rest well tonight. Don’t disturb his sleep."

"Oh."

Song Dabai obediently nodded, walked over to Mommy, held her small hand, and then turned back to look at Lu Jihan, waving his small hand to him.

"Daddy, goodnight."

The big one and the little one walked back to the guest room, and Song Yinyin closed the door on the way.

Click—

Song Yinyin closed the guest room door.

Immediately, the sound of the door being locked reached Lu Jihan’s ears, making him increasingly irritable. The dry towel in his hand was twisted into a ball, with no trace of sleepiness left whatsoever.

...

At night, Song Yinyin lay with Song Dabai on the soft Sealy mattress, her eyes wide open, fixed on the ceiling above, without the slightest hint of sleepiness.

In her arms, Song Dabai had fallen asleep while she was telling fairy tales. She looked down at her son’s adorable sleeping face, but her mind was in tumult.

By her ear, Lu Jihan’s words seemed to hover, both probing and urgent—

Song Yinyin, when do you plan to register for marriage with me?

She had to admit that it’s not that she felt nothing for Lu Jihan, or that she couldn’t see his kindness towards her, it’s just that she couldn’t get past the hurdle in her heart.

All these years, there’s always been a fatal weakness in her heart.

For so many years, she had not sought another partner, nor been willing to consider the issue, ever since that night six years ago, the wound was too deep...

Before she turned eighteen, she was no different from any ordinary girl, dreaming of a beautiful future.

At that time, she had a bright future ahead of her and a stable relationship with her fiancé, although she had a sister who always disagreed with her, life was going relatively smoothly...

But after that night six years ago, everything changed.

Her mother passed away, Yan Kejun broke off the engagement, she abandoned her studies, and had to leave the Imperial City with Dabai in her belly...

During these six years, not a day went by without her thinking about how she could give her son, Song Dabai, a healthy and beautiful life, allowing him to live carefree...

She simply didn’t have time to think about romantic relationships.

To her, it was a luxury, a wound she dared not touch.

Until Lu Jihan appeared... 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

He did indeed give her sunshine, provided her shelter, served as her safe haven, granted her the kind of happiness every woman envied, yet she felt it wasn’t genuine.

Because, there was a thorn in her heart—Lu Jihan was urging her to marry him, but was it because he truly liked her, or was it because he had no choice but to marry her because of Song Dabai? There’s no man on earth who treats a woman well without reason unless she has something he wants...

Perhaps women have a tendency to nitpick when everything is calm, looking for trouble, but immediately finding a reason to convince oneself is difficult.

Having been hurt before, she feared repeating the same mistake.

All night long, Song Yinyin forced herself not to think about anything, just to look ahead, to look at the positive side, and actually, happiness was right in front of her, easily within reach.

But at the same time, another voice said: Song Yinyin, wake up, have you forgotten that you and Yan Kejun were childhood sweethearts, yet he abandoned and hurt you?

Then, yet another voice circled in her mind: No, no, no, Lu Jihan is different from Yan Kejun; they’re not the same kind of people at all, he’s not like Yan Kejun!

All these voices mixed together, filling her mind, causing her to remain sleepless throughout the night. It wasn’t until the sky hinted at dawn that she finally drifted into a dazed sleep.
