He paused before continuing, "I felt a sense of loss then, but at the same time, a sense of liberation. You, whom I had been yearning for, were finally getting married and having a child. I had to bless you and then move on to seek my own happiness. But when I heard that you had divorced, I found myself ecstatic, unable to control my joy. That's when I realized that all these years, it wasn't that I didn't miss you. I was just too afraid of not being able to have you, so I suppressed my feelings. When you told me you were getting married, I naturally accepted the inevitable. But the truth is, I have always loved you. Only when you said you divorced, my years of lingering affection and love erupt."
This astonishing confession left Song Qinghuan utterly at a loss.
