AMRWFA -Chapter 116 Even if You Could Hide It a Lifetime, That’s Still a Fairy Tale!

Yu Xiangqiao said, “Besides, even if you know, so what? What happened back then is already there—just thinking about it feels like a thorn in your heart. She still loves him now, and she has the courage to let go. But if too much time passes, it’s no longer a matter of whether she can let go—it becomes a question of whether she could ever forgive him.”

As a woman, Ruan Yaoyao could understand this.

She herself was the type who thought, ‘If the other has no heart, I will let go.’ Once she realized that Shi Guofan had someone else in his heart, there was no way she could tolerate it anymore.

If their marriage had been purely a business arrangement, that would have been a different story. But the problem was, their relationship had been “love” from the start—from school uniforms to wedding dresses, it had been perfect. And because it was so perfect, Ma Wenli found it all the more intolerable.

“What a pity!”

【If it weren’t for Li Tingting, maybe they could have gone on like this forever.】

【Even if you could hide it a lifetime, that’s still a fairy tale!】

Yu Xiangqiao twitched the corner of her mouth. She thought, if Aunt Shi knew this, she probably wouldn’t want to be kept in the dark for a lifetime either.

Some people just prefer to die clearly aware than to live in confusion.

Handling Shi Chaowen and Shi Yuwen was much simpler. After meeting Li Tingting, they fell in love with her—they were the type to live and die for her, crashing headfirst into walls for her sake. So Shi Yanli acted decisively and sent the two brothers abroad immediately.

“When Shi Wenqin turns back into a human, that’s when you can return!”

“Ah?! So if he can’t turn back, does that mean we never come back?”

“Not necessarily.”

Just as Shi Chaowen and Shi Yuwen’s eyes lit up with hope, their eldest sister said, “Li Tingting might go abroad too. If she goes, then you come back.”

Shi Chaowen and Shi Yuwen: “……”

Ahhh… that germ, can it stay away from us?!

They didn’t believe it at first, but once they saw Shi Qinwen transformed into a bird, disbelief was no longer an option.

Shi Qinwen alone had become a bird—if they stayed behind, they’d be risking their lives!

Forget about being the protagonist—they were cannon fodder. They weren’t destined for that.

In the departure lounge, the brothers muttered to themselves.

“What about Uncle and Second Uncle’s families?”

“Eldest sister said she’ll handle it. Even if we stayed, we wouldn’t be much help—we’d just be cannon fodder.”

“True!”

If it weren’t for that reason, they wouldn’t have just gone along with whatever their sister arranged without saying a word.

With them gone, their eldest sister could be more at ease.

As for their parents’ divorce, the brothers thought: let it happen. Their father’s life wasn’t at risk, but their mother’s could be.

“Will Mom come along too?”

“It depends. Probably Mom doesn’t trust eldest sister to be alone in the country. As long as she doesn’t jump off a building, she’s not in immediate danger.”

“We’re fine, sister’s fine, Mom won’t jump.”

“The focus is still on us two.”

Because Shi Yanli was seeking revenge and confronting the female lead for their sake, and so was their mother.

Sigh…

The world is so beautiful—why must life be so hard for us?

At that moment, Shi Chaowen’s phone rang.

Shi Yuwen: “Who’s it from?”

Shi Chaowen glanced at the screen: “Second cousin.”

They saw the name Shi Jiucheng on the screen. For a moment, they weren’t sure whether to tell the truth.

Luckily, Shi Jiucheng didn’t ask why they were going abroad. He just told them to have fun and bring back gifts. If they had no money, they could tell him.

Shi Chaowen and Shi Yuwen felt guilty. Even though Shi Jiucheng was their cousin from a different branch, he treated them so well—and now they were just running off. It felt wrong.

Before boarding, they sent Shi Yanli a message: [Sister, cousin Jiucheng just called. He said to enjoy ourselves, and if we don’t have money, tell him.]

Shi Yanli replied immediately: [Got it! I’m already on my way to meet him.]

Shi Chaowen and Shi Yuwen breathed a sigh of relief.

“So why did you call me out like this?”

Shi Yanli looked at the person across from her, psyching herself up: Shi Yanli, go for it!

If you don’t, it’ll be family extinction! So yes, Shi Yanli, you can do this!

Shi Jiucheng: ?

“I have something very important to tell you, and I don’t know how to explain it. Before I do, I hope you’re mentally prepared.”

“I’m ready. Go ahead.”

Shi Yanli: “No! You’re not ready. You have to promise me a few things. First, no matter how ridiculous what you’re about to hear is, don’t believe everything I say. I’m not lying. Second, after I tell you, you have to go somewhere with me. You can be skeptical, but you can’t say anything aloud. Only when it’s just the two of us can you express your doubts.”

“What are you doing, being all mysterious… just tell me! What is it? Did you run out of money, or did your current partner catch you cheating and you got pregnant?” Shi Jiucheng laughed.

Shi Yanli twitched the corner of her mouth: “It’s even more ridiculous than that—it’s about Wenqin.”

Shi Jiucheng’s expression immediately turned serious: “Don’t tell me you heard some bad news from a doctor!”

“No, I heard something completely absurd from someone else. At first, I didn’t believe it…but my parents are divorcing, you know?”

“I heard. That’s why Chaowen and Yuwen were in a bad mood and went abroad, right? I knew it would be like this. Otherwise, why would they suddenly want to go abroad—they don’t even like being there…” Shi Jiucheng asked, “What’s going on with your parents? Why do they suddenly want a divorce?”

“Didn’t you hear? My dad has a first love.”

“I heard about it… but that was years ago. Your parents have been married so long—from school uniforms to wedding dresses, how romantic. Your mom isn’t still holding a grudge over this, is she?”

“That… that brings us to your brother Wenqin.”

“What does that have to do with my brother? He’s lying in bed, knows nothing—what can he do?”

If he could actually do something, Shi Jiucheng would have been grateful.

But unfortunately…

“So,” Shi Jiucheng stared in disbelief at the five-colored macaw perched on the pole, “you’re telling me this parrot is my brother?! Are you kidding me? How could my brother become a bird? He’s human—human! I watched him grow up… You’re not telling me he was switched at birth, right?”

Ruan Yaoyao watched the scene from the side and said to her daughter-in-law, Yu Xiangqiao, “Still not convinced?”

“Not yet. Something this absurd will take a while to explain. Back when we told her, it took a long time too. Luckily, the rest will be explained by herself.”

“True!”

【This poor guy… he died quite miserably.】

【He didn’t know anything, and ended up being dragged along with his parents in the car.】

【I wonder if he suffered underground, regretting he looked at the car that day.】
