Seven Years of Lies, I Ruined His Life - Chapter 16

After that day, Yu Qing and I tacitly avoided that question.

She sent me updates on the shop’s renovation progress almost every day and even went to Korea to study cooking herself.

I felt a sense of relief while she was in Korea.

To be honest, I was scared.

Scared that she would actually go back, get a divorce, and then come to me asking for marriage.

Yu Qing was different from Guan Qin.

Yu Qing was bold and ambitious; she should be pursuing her dreams, just like she was now.

As for Guan Qin.

I don’t deny that she could endure hardship.

When we first started our business, we would wake up early and stay up late to buy seafood, then haul it to the market to sell.

When I couldn’t take it anymore and hid in the back to sleep, she was the one watching over the stall.

But over the years, she had changed so much.

During the days Yu Qing was away, Guan Qin was also rarely at home.

She would leave after taking our son to school in the morning and not return, only rushing back half an hour before dinner.

I asked my son, “Who’s been picking you up from school these days?”

“It’s Mom,” my son replied, his head buried in his homework.

I suspected he either hadn’t heard my question clearly or Guan Qin had coached him.

After dinner, Guan Qin was in the kitchen washing dishes.

I walked in and asked her, “What have you been busy with these days?”

As I got closer, I smelled the strong odor of cooking oil and smoke on her.

Before she could answer, I backed out of the room.

Just as I said.

Guan Qin and Yu Qing were truly different.
