"Silly child, do you know what my heart's ailment is? My heart's ailment is your marriage, dear."
"After your dad passed away, why do you think I didn't remarry? Wasn't it because I worried that a stepdad might unjustly make you suffer humiliation?"
"For that reason, I never married again, and I raised you all by myself."
Of course, Xu Xiaoting was aware of what her mother was saying.
As a daughter, she didn't want her mom to remarry either, since it would feel like someone else was taking advantage of her mom, and it would also be disrespectful to her late dad.
Besides, her mother's concerns about her marriage also struck Xu Xiaoting as strange.
"Mom, isn't that wrong? You know how things are between Xiaolong and me. What's there to worry about?"
"When the time comes for men to marry and women to wed, I will naturally marry Xiaolong. Is there any doubt about that?"
"Concerning my marriage, you shouldn't worry anymore. From now on, you can relax and put your heart at ease."
