Chapter 1372: Chapter 1171 This comparison is meaningless_1 Chapter 1372: Chapter 1171 This comparison is meaningless_1 Tong Sanlang “…”
He lifted his head, silently gazing at Qiao Xiaomai.
Qiao Xiaomai’s expression was ice-cold, her peach-shaped eyes glaring at him, “Speak, who will you save?”
“Do I really have to make such a choice?” Tong Sanlang asked weakly, his lips pursed.
“You must.” Qiao Xiaomai’s reply was very firm.
In this timeline, her true kin and love was only Tong Sanlang; he was everything to her, her whole world.
If something were to happen to Tong Sanlang, then her world would collapse.
Tong Sanlang was such an important existence to her, yet to Tong Sanlang, she couldn’t reach such a position.
She was angry.
She was hurt.
She just wanted to force him to set a precedence.
She just wanted to make a scene, a huge scene.
Tong Sanlang’s lips tightened as he spoke, “She is already miserable, I think it’s meaningless to dwell on this now.”
“Meaningless? Since it’s meaningless, you should even more give me an answer. It’s just a verbal response, is it that difficult?” The look on Qiao Xiaomai’s face grew even colder.
Tong Sanlang stared directly into her eyes, his lips pressing tighter together.
“Speak!” Seeing this, Qiao Xiaomai’s rage exploded in an instant, and she involuntarily raised her voice.
“One of you is the mother who gave birth to me and raised me, the other is the wife I love dearly. You both are very important to me, but due to different statuses, it’s impossible to compare.” Tong Sanlang dropped his gaze, focusing on the tips of his shoes.
“Even with different statuses, there is a comparison to be made, there’s always a precedence. You must give me an explanation today!” Qiao Xiaomai’s voice rose even higher upon hearing this.
But her heart grew even colder.
Listen to those words, just listen, he’s avoiding the issue!
She hadn’t given birth to Tong Sanlang nor raised him, but from the moment she decided to be with Tong Sanlang, she gave her all to him, ready to live and die for him. Yet even after everything the Zhang Family had done, her place in his heart still couldn’t compare to theirs.
He was a filial son, he had to be responsible for the Zhang Family.
But he was also her man, he had responsibilities towards her too!
No matter how strong-willed she was, her heart remained clear and tender in front of him.
She pursed her lips and lowered her gaze.
Forget it.
His attitude was already clear.
Forcing him to lie had no meaning whatsoever.
He had already been regretful at Jiwei Residence, and with the Zhang Family suffering so much now, he would undoubtedly feel even more guilt and remorse.
She, lively and kicking, couldn’t possibly win over the Zhang Family, blind and disabled as they were.
Once she understood this, all her rage receded like a tide, leaving her heart that had been filled with fury suddenly empty.
Her gaze vacant, she stared at the bedsheet covering her body and sneered bitterly in her heart as she began to dress herself.
Tong Sanlang, hearing the noises, lifted his gaze towards her. Instinctively, he realized her anger must have grown even more intense, and he hurriedly tried to explain, “Your statuses are different, making such a comparison is truly meaningless. I promise you, I’ll be more cautious in the future and try as much as possible to avoid any mishaps.”
“I would like to promise that I’ll never encounter danger again, but the retired emperor relies on me heavily, and dangerous missions are sure to come. All I can promise is to be more vigilant and careful in the future, striving to prevent any accidents.”
Qiao Xiaomai acted as if she hadn’t heard a word, she put on her shoes and walked towards the door.
“Xiaomai!” Tong Sanlang quickly stepped forward and grabbed her arm.
“Let go!” she jerked away fiercely, pushed open the door, and walked out.
