But in any case, Su Zhaozhao suddenly felt that after laying everything bare, her heart was much lighter.

She wasn’t hiding anything anymore. Whatever Xie Huaizheng wanted to ask, she told him—about her world, her family, and her friends.

But as she finished speaking, Su Zhaozhao said with a hint of regret, “I wish I could take you to meet my parents. If they met you, I’m sure they’d love you.”

‘Xie Huaizheng was such a good person—kind, thoughtful, handsome, and with a perfect physique.’

‘He was the perfect husband. In the real world, she wouldn’t have been able to find someone like him even if she searched high and low. But because she transmigrated, she did.’

So Su Zhaozhao was still very grateful for having transmigrated.

After all, it was this transmigration that had allowed her to discover this wonderful world and meet so many wonderful people.

“They would. Zhaozhao, do you believe that if you wish for something sincerely enough, it can come true? As long as you want it, maybe… I can travel with you to your world?”

‘Xie Huaizheng didn’t actually know if it was possible. But since Su Zhaozhao managed to travel here, couldn’t he follow her back to her world? It should be possible, right?’

Su Zhaozhao immediately shook her head. “That’s impossible. They’re two different worlds. But it’s okay, darling. Regret is just a normal part of life. I’m sure my parents would understand.”

She hugged Xie Huaizheng.

After she finished speaking, she relaxed. Her entire body was overcome with fatigue, and she gradually closed her eyes, drifting off to sleep.

Xie Huaizheng held Su Zhaozhao, feeling her soft body in his arms as he gazed at her beautiful face.

‘He never knew she was hiding such a world-shattering secret.’

‘But he’d had his suspicions before. There was definitely something unusual about Su Zhaozhao, he just couldn’t put his finger on what it was.’

‘Now, he finally understood.’

‘This left him completely stunned.’

‘To think that Su Zhaozhao was carrying a secret like this.’

‘He had been shocked at first, but after hearing her out, he understood.’

‘He didn’t think she was some kind of terrifying person. And as for living in a novel… he could accept that.’

‘A novel was just a novel. He didn’t feel like he was truly in one, nor did he feel his destiny was being controlled by someone else. Wasn’t that enough?’

‘The only thing he couldn’t accept was the idea of being separated from Su Zhaozhao in the future.’

But now that Su Zhaozhao had said she would choose him, Xie Huaizheng could relax.

But his heart ached for Su Zhaozhao.

‘She must have suffered so much when she first arrived in this strange world.’

‘Otherwise, she wouldn’t have traveled all that way from Jiang City to West State. And to think, he had been so harsh to her at first, trying to drive her away.’

‘Back then, he thought he was doing it for her own good. He felt a delicate girl like her was completely unsuited for life in West State.’

‘But now, he was incredibly grateful that she hadn’t left because of him.’

‘Thank goodness she didn’t choose to leave.’

‘Otherwise, they never would have made it this far.’

But he knew she still had regrets in her heart.

‘But how could he enable Su Zhaozhao to travel back and forth between this world and her own?’

‘What could he do?’

Xie Huaizheng frowned.

What he’d just said was only to comfort Su Zhaozhao and give her a little hope.

But not even he truly believed it.

Xie Huaizheng gazed at the girl’s serene sleeping face and gently kissed her forehead.

As if sensing him, Su Zhaozhao shifted closer and snuggled into his embrace.

‘The way she relied on him made his heart soften. It would be wonderful if Su Zhaozhao could continue to lean on him like this in the future.’

When Su Zhaozhao woke up, it was already noon the next day.

She hadn’t expected to sleep for so long and immediately shot up in bed.

Xie Huaizheng wasn’t beside her, and a flicker of panic went through Su Zhaozhao’s heart.

‘Was it because I told him the truth? Does he not trust me anymore?’

Just as Su Zhaozhao was starting to panic, Xie Huaizheng walked in from outside.

Seeing that she was awake, he said, “I was just about to call you for lunch.”

‘She had missed breakfast, but Xie Huaizheng felt she absolutely had to get up and eat lunch.’

“You scared me! I thought you’d left me,” Su Zhaozhao said.

Xie Huaizheng walked over to Su Zhaozhao and helped her get dressed, treating her like a child.

“Zhaozhao, don’t say things like that again. I don’t like hearing them. It makes me feel like you don’t trust me enough.”

Upon hearing this, Su Zhaozhao immediately tapped her lips. “No, no, I take that back. I know I was wrong, darling. I won’t say it again.”

‘The main reason was that she was still reeling from last night. A bit of pop psychology told her that people tend to be more emotional at night.’

‘Then, when they returned to their senses the next day, they would make more rational decisions.’

‘She wasn’t sure if Xie Huaizheng had just been comforting her out of emotion last night, only to wake up the next day and decide she was a monster.’

“Okay. Don’t ever say that I’ll leave you again. Zhaozhao, if anyone should be saying that, it’s me. I’m the one who’s worried you’ll leave me.”

“I won’t.” Su Zhaozhao shook her head.

‘She had promised Xie Huaizheng, so she would definitely stay by his side.’

‘Even though it was a little sad that she might never return to her own world, a choice had to be made.’

‘Her parents would surely be happy that she had found someone she loved to spend the rest of her life with.’

When Su Zhaozhao and Xie Huaizheng went out to eat, Huang Jiqin teased them, “Well, look at you two newlyweds, so lovey-dovey you’re only just getting out of bed.”

“Mom, I haven’t been sleeping well the last couple of days. I only just got a good night’s rest last night,” Su Zhaozhao said, embarrassed.

‘It was true. She had been so worried that she’d only been getting three or four hours of sleep a night, leaving her severely sleep-deprived.’

‘Even when she did manage to fall asleep, she would wake up startled from nightmares. The stress had just been too much.’

‘But last night, after opening up to Xie Huaizheng, Su Zhaozhao had finally slept soundly.’

‘If she had known, she would have told him sooner. It was all her fault for not trusting him enough.’

Huang Jiqin smiled. “Well, that’s wonderful. You two have such a good relationship. You can give us a grandchild to look after soon.”

Su Zhaozhao felt a little resigned hearing Huang Jiqin’s words.

“I’ll give it some serious thought.”

‘But she really did need to think about it.’

“There’s no rush,” Xie Huaizheng said. “Zhaozhao still has to get into college, and she hasn’t settled into a career. Let’s wait until all that is sorted out before having children.”

‘Xie Huaizheng’s words were a reminder. If she was going to stay here, she would definitely need a degree to find a better job…’

Huang Jiqin nodded. “You’re right, you’re right. Zhaozhao, why don’t you stay here after the New Year instead of going back? You can focus on preparing for your exams.”
