Ruan Yaoyao originally didn’t want to get involved. After all, “Misplaced Life” ended in a happy ending—whether she interfered or not, the two of them would eventually be together. But as she listened to the people around her go further and further with their remarks, turning what was once “devotion” into “love-brained foolishness,” she grew irritated.
【Devotion is devotion—what’s with calling it love-brained nonsense?】
【Do they even understand what “true love” means?】
【Love is about giving, not taking.】
【Not all love needs to have an ending!】
…
Furious, she rushed forward, grabbed Feng Yiwei out of the crowd, and said to him seriously:
“Don’t listen to their nonsense. You’re not love-brained—you’ve simply offered the purest and most sincere part of your heart to someone, hoping to exchange sincerity for sincerity. Someone like you shouldn’t be scorned or mocked. The one who deserves that is the person who toyed with your feelings. But you’re lucky—you met someone willing to exchange sincerity for sincerity. Believe me, she didn’t betray you. She just ran into a very difficult problem. Between love and family, she chose family. Just like you—if you had to choose between your family and your lover, you’d struggle too. But if you chose your family, your parents would become the happiest people in the world. And if you chose your lover, then she would be the happiest.”
Like a drowning man grabbing onto a lifeline, Feng Yiwei seized Ruan Yaoyao’s hand and urgently asked: “Really? Yan Zi didn’t betray our love? She just… just ran into trouble, right? What kind of trouble? Did her parents not approve? Or was the bride price I offered too low, making them unhappy?”
“Neither. It’s because of your mother,” Ruan Yaoyao said. “Your mother is your future father-in-law’s first love.”
Feng Yiwei froze, his face clearly saying: What did you just say?!
“When you visited your girlfriend’s parents, you mentioned your mother, remember? You even said you didn’t expect your future father-in-law to have graduated from the same school as your mom…”
Feng Yiwei: ??????
Holy—!
No wonder his future father-in-law had looked a bit off at the time. He had thought it was because the man didn’t believe him and assumed he was lying to get closer—he’d even sworn up and down to prove himself!
So it wasn’t disbelief—it was because the man found it too coincidental. He had realized Feng Yiwei was the son of his first love…
Ruan Yaoyao continued: “And your future mother-in-law knows about that first love. So she got angry and refused the marriage—unless she divorces your future father-in-law.”
【Now do you get it?】
【It’s not that there’s a problem between you and your girlfriend—your future mother-in-law is just jealous.】
Feng Yiwei hesitated. “Is this for real? You’re not lying to me, are you?”
Someone nearby chimed in, “Of course it’s fake! You don’t even know about it—how could she? What, is she your girlfriend’s neighbor or something? Even a neighbor wouldn’t know this much!”
“Did you overhear them arguing?” Feng Yiwei asked, unable to think of any other explanation.
Ruan Yaoyao shrugged. “Is that really the point? Shouldn’t the point be that you call your mom and ask if her first love is named Fan Daxi?”
It was just a phone call—he could confirm it immediately.
Encouraged by the onlookers, Feng Yiwei dialed his mother.
“Mom, I need to ask you something. Was your first love named Fan Daxi?”
There was a pause on the other end. “Why are you asking that?”
“Mom, just tell me if it’s true. This is really important—it determines whether your future daughter-in-law will still marry me.”
“What happened?”
“Fan Daxi is Yan Zi’s father. Her mom found out about your past with him and won’t let us be together…” After explaining the situation briefly, Feng Yiwei pressed again, “So is it true? If not, I can still explain things to them.”
“…It’s true,” his mother admitted.
Feng Yiwei nearly burst into tears.
It’s actually true?!
What was he supposed to do now?
The crowd of gossipers: What the hell?!
Dating someone whose father used to be your mother’s first love—this situation was ridiculous…
No wonder her mother objected.
Some people muttered that the future mother-in-law was overly jealous—holding onto something from so many years ago.
“What do you mean ‘so many years ago’? If they lived separate lives, sure, it’d be ancient history. But they’re about to become in-laws! They’d see each other all the time—what if old feelings rekindle?”
That shut everyone up.
After all, stories of rekindled old flames were everywhere online.
Someone advised Feng Yiwei to just give up—it was too complicated.
From the phone came his father’s voice: “Xiao Wei? Xiao Wei, are you there? What did you say to your mother? Why did you make her cry, you brat—”
“Dad, Mom is my future father-in-law’s first love, wuuu…”
“…¥#@¥@%#@%…”
His father started cursing Fan Daxi nonstop, saying he must be crazy to still think about his wife after so many years.
At that moment, Ruan Yaoyao spoke again: “Feng Yiwei, why don’t you ask your dad if his first love was named Ma Qianying?”
Before Feng Yiwei could even react, shouting and scolding erupted from the phone, followed by his father’s scream.
It turned out—Ma Qianying was his father’s first love.
Feng Yiwei looked up blankly at Ruan Yaoyao, his lips trembling, unable to speak.
“You’re wondering why Ma Qianying—your future mother-in-law—was also your dad’s first love, right?” Ruan Yaoyao spread her hands helplessly. “That’s just how coincidental it is. Your mom is your future father-in-law’s first love, and your future mother-in-law is your dad’s first love…”
The onlookers: What a coincidence!
Your wife was my first love!
Mine too!
They all looked at Feng Yiwei with sympathy.
One first love was already hard enough to deal with—now there were two. That just doubled the difficulty.
At this point, he and his girlfriend were truly “fated but not destined.”
“Waaah—!” Feng Yiwei burst into tears. “But Yan Zi and I are each other’s first love too!”
The crowd: Oh—three first loves!
That’s… impressive.
Just then, another sobbing voice came from behind. Everyone turned to look—it was none other than the female lead, Fan Yan, who had returned at some point.
Her eyes were red and teary. The doll hanging from her phone slipped off and landed right at Feng Yiwei’s feet.
The moment he saw her, he rushed forward, crying: “Is it true? You broke up with me because my mom is your dad’s first love, and your mom found out and didn’t agree?”
“Wuuu… yes… After you left, my mom started fighting with my dad. She said he still hasn’t forgotten your mom after all these years and insisted on divorcing him. Then she forced me to choose—between her and you…”
“Wuuu… I knew it—you would never betray me.”
“Wuuu… even if you know now, it doesn’t change anything. It was already difficult enough, and now my mom turns out to be your dad’s first love too… There’s no way for us to be together anymore…”
The two of them clung to each other, crying their hearts out.
All around them, people on the street wore sympathetic expressions.
It really was too difficult.
This “Misplaced Life” drama is quite something… hahaha.
