Tan You: "You're not wrong. I'm really not interested in romance. I'd much rather watch people build their careers. These days, the only things you can truly count on are your money and your career."
"Especially when it comes to feelings. Even the bonds of family aren't always pure, so romantic love is even more difficult."
Ye Qian gave a bitter smile. "Yes, I'm only now realizing that you can't force a relationship. It's a lesson I didn't learn until after my divorce. But I learned it too late. If I hadn't been so focused on getting married and having children back then, perhaps my life would be completely different now."
Ning Yao asked curiously, "Do you regret it?"
"I have regrets, but I don't regret my decision," Ye Qian said after a moment of thought. "My marriage may have been a complete mess, but I gained something from it. I have a wonderful daughter."
