He Xiyan nodded. She didn't deny that that had been her assumption because she didn't have the courage to get married again.
She didn't have the courage to bring her two children who were from two different marriages into another marriage.
She didn't even dare imagine how that marriage would play out.
"Lin Ziya, I will speak to Jiahang again. Things are impossible between us no matter what he says and I wouldn't give up my children to be together with him, so you're a much better woman for him than I am."
He Xiyan meant what she said but Lin Ziya broke into a despairing and cold smile at her words.
He Xiyan didn't understand why Lin Ziya would react this way.
"I meant what I said," she said.
"I know," Lin Ziya said as she nodded her head. However, she looked even more despaired than before, as though she had lost all hope because she knew that Shaoqian would not give up on this woman as long as she remained single.
