Mr.President, Let's Get a Divorce
Chapter 191: I have not forgotten your mother.

Chapter 191: I have not forgotten your mother.

Song Lili’s indifferent words made the already somewhat awkward atmosphere in the car even more rigid.

Song Jiayu’s smile froze on his face as well...

Song Lili took a deep breath. Since heaven had given her a chance for rebirth, if everything stayed the same as before, wouldn’t it be a waste of that opportunity?

What she wanted, she would ask for—whether it meant fighting for it or snatching it away, especially the things that should belong to her in the first place.

In her previous life, it was not only Wen Nian who drifted away from her, but also her father.

He had formed a new family, and she wasn’t integrated into it. Instead, she chose to escape, effectively handing over her own father to Miu Xiangqiao.

"Dad, ever since you married Aunt Miu, we haven’t spoken heartfelt words to each other anymore. Every encounter is as polite as if we were strangers... If it’s going to be like this in the future, then perhaps it would be better if we don’t see each other again."

"Xiao Li!"

Song Jiayu immediately became anxious, "What are you saying? Do you not want your dad anymore?"

Song Lili hurriedly held his hand, smiling,

"I’m talking about ’if’."

"Even ’if’ is not okay! Cough cough... cough cough cough..."

Song Jiayu suddenly felt choked up and his throat wouldn’t stop itching.

"Alright, alright, I won’t say such angry words anymore, is that okay?"

Song Lili quickly tried to appease her father.

Song Jiayu’s heart melted instantly. Hearing Song Lili’s coquettish and appeasing words, his eyes reddened...

"What’s this now?"

Song Lili frowned, looking rather helplessly at her father, his hair gray and the corner of his eyes marked with deep wrinkles.

"It’s nothing, just feeling... you’ve grown up."

Song Jiayu said with deep contentment.

Song Lili simply smiled lightly, not saying much, just holding her father’s hand.

"Actually, there are some words, these many years, dad has always kept in his heart, always thinking of telling you, cough cough... but I could never bring myself to say it... While you’re feeling sorry for this old father of yours, I’ll just say it, lest I regret it later... cough cough..."

"Dad, let’s talk when we get back. You’re coughing so badly, better to speak less—"

"Lili, I have never forgotten your mother. Never, not for a moment."

"..."

Song Lili’s body stiffened again.

"Your mother died early, and those few years I was in deep sorrow. If it weren’t for thinking of you, cough cough... perhaps in a moment of impulse, I would have followed your mother, cough cough cough..."

Song Jiayu sighed deeply, took his thermos, poured a cup of water to moisten his throat, and then the coughing subsided.

Song Lili felt distressed,

"There’s no need to say more."

"Lili..."

"Dad, you really don’t need to explain anything to me, as long as you’re happily living now, that’s good."

"... Dad... I didn’t expect you to be so stubborn, so resistant to your Aunt Miu."

Song Lili chuckled, "Alright, let’s not talk about it. In any case... Dad, you wouldn’t divorce Aunt Miu because of my resistance, giving up your current family, would you?"

"Xiao You... is innocent."

Song Jiayu let out another deep sigh.

Song Lili looked out the window. Lerong was innocent, Miu Xiangqiao was innocent, Song You... her half-brother, who was ten years younger, was also innocent...

"After I lost your mother, if I hadn’t met your Aunt Miu, my life would’ve probably continued in great pain. Although I am happy with your Aunt Miu, she is different from your mother; I never thought of marrying your Aunt Miu at that time, I always felt that doing so would be unfair to your deceased moth—"

"When she had Song You, you had no choice, I know all this, so let’s not talk about it anymore."
