Learning to Love Again

"Naked in bed with another woman! Are you serious?"

Han Lili felt flabbergasted. "Tell me what happened. Maybe you saw the wrong thing."

"I got a text from him asking me to come over and so I went to his apartment. When I got there, a woman opened the door for me and told me he was in his room and there he was, in his bed with someone else."

Han Lili felt that after she explained, it became even harder to believe. Why would there be two women in the iceberg's home at once? He can barely stand the presence of one. This sounded way too sketchy. There is definitely some foul play going on here.

"You said a woman opened the door, who was she?"

"I don't really know her." Su Lian tried hard to recollect. "I had met her once at an art gallery, she had a long scar on her face. It went from one of her eyes all the way down to her chin. That's all I can remember. I tried really hard to forget that night."

Wait, a scar on her face?

Is Su Lian describing her brother's bodyguard? That psychotic scarface who gives her the chills?

Han Lili's eyes flash with malice.

"Well, did you confront him? What did he say."

Su Lian turns her head around not wanting to answer. "The concerts about to start."

'Shut up or leave.'

Those were the words he had said. She didn't even ask him for an explanation, she was willing to forgive him. All he had to do was pretend to care or at least say that he would change.

She was tired of not knowing her place in his life.

There was a time that they had met someone he knew at a cafe.

The man had asked if she was his secretary and Han Yuan said nothing in reply.

"Qui tacet consentit" - a famous Latin quote meaning silence implies consent.

Even though he didn't confirm it, he didn't deny it either.

What if he does that to their child? What if one day Su Yichen gets heartbroken over his father's indirect denial. In her opinion, it is much better to not have something in the first place, than to have it and then lose it.

Su Yichen is better off not having a father with him than having a father who will be ashamed of his existence and maybe even leave him.

She knows that her life was not the best before she met Han Yuan, but it was still better compared to how she felt that night she found him in bed with another woman.

Is she being selfish?

Yes, she is, and she will continue to be if it means that she can protect her son and her heart.

Seeing that she didn't want to talk anymore, Han Lili doesn't ask any more questions, she just looks towards the stage waiting for the opening act while pondering deeply.

Su Lian got a text from her brother telling her to come over and then he sleeps with another woman.

This was obviously a scheme, she would be a fool not to know it.

She is almost certain that this was all orchestrated by Shen Xun.

She's obsessed with him.

Her brother's unfruitful search for Su Lian was probably the work of her hands as well.

Just wait until she gets her hands on that psychopath.

Because of her obsession and insanity, she didn't get to meet her nephew until just now.

Just think about all the aunt-nephew bonding time that has been wasted.

What a tragedy.

Even the iceberg is an idiot. The biggest one alive.

How did he not know that someone that dangerous was by his side?

If he can't figure it out himself, then he doesn't deserve the mother and child.

With his high IQ and abundant resources, he couldn't do something so simple. She literally solved the mystery in about a week.

There is no progress so this 'couple' will definitely need her intervention, but Han Yuan needs to suffer a little bit first.

Han Lili brings out her phone and texts her brother.

Lili: 'You shouldn't come to the concert anymore.'

Then she sends another message to her mother.

Lili: 'Mom, dad, you have a grandchild.'
