An Bingfeng sat in the carriage, watching this scene, and suddenly felt very touched.
Through the lifted curtain of the carriage, he looked outside and happened to meet Yan’s eyes.
Over the years, she had aged quite a bit, and her eyes were no longer as bright as they once were.
But calculating closely, Yan’s age wasn’t actually old.
An Bingfeng never considered himself to have wronged Yan; in this not-so-long marriage, they simply each got what they wanted.
It was just that due to his negligence, he failed to fulfill the promise he made at the beginning, to protect her all her life without worries.
For the first time, An Bingfeng began to reflect on himself.
If initially, he hadn’t selfishly wanted a child, perhaps today’s situation would be different.
But thinking carefully, without him, Yan might be living even worse than now.
When he first met Yan, it was when Old Yan was dragging her to sell her into the pleasure district and was in debt, and Yan’s struggle on the street caught his eyes; the despair in her eyes then allowed him to see his former self.
Therefore, he helped her, and later, it was because of being too lonely by himself that he wanted a child, which led to what happened later.
Once, he saved her, but these years, he indeed wronged her, delayed her.
In An Bingfeng’s heart, there was no guilt, but he also wouldn’t deny this fact.
Raising his hand, he took the small wooden box next to him, no bigger than a palm, yet leaving An Bingfeng hesitant.
Ultimately, he summoned Mu Yi.
After Mu Yi left, An Yu came in and sat across from An Bingfeng.
"Father, why won’t you give mother a chance?" This was the question he had been wanting to ask for some time.
An Bingfeng chuckled helplessly; it was evident that he truly loved this son, so he patiently explained, "Silly child, not giving her a chance is actually better for her, you don’t understand..." Staying by his side, she would be more miserable.
An Bingfeng knew he was mentally unstable, and with Yan by his side, who knows when he might go crazy? Then he might do something unpredictable, even he couldn’t foresee.
No one wishes for their life to be chaotic; if he truly could accept it, what reason would he have to refuse?
The carriage had disappeared for some time, and An Ning was still standing in place with Yan.
It was An Ning who first turned around and said, "Mother, let’s go back."
Yan nodded, "Mm."
Then she secretly wiped tears from the corners of her eyes.
Even though Yan tried hard to conceal it, An Ning still noticed.
She did not expose it; at this point, exposing it would only make her more uncomfortable inside!
An Ning and Yan hadn’t walked more than a few steps when they heard a shout from behind.
Turning around, they saw Mu Yi coming on horseback.
When he reached An Ning, he stopped, dismounted, and walked up to Yan, respectfully offering the wooden box in his hand, "This is what the master asked me to hand over to the madam."
Yan didn’t ask much, just calmly accepted the box.
Then Mu Yi did not linger, and after a formal retreat, he left.
Holding the wooden box in her hands, Yan didn’t rush to open it.
Today they came here with An Dafu driving the carriage that brought them over. After they got on the carriage and left, all the way back home, only then did Yan lock herself in her room.
In the room, Yan opened the wooden box, and what caught her eye first was a sky-blue pouch.
