"Perhaps," Zhao Nuanyue said. "Everyone makes their own choices, and once you make one, you have to bear the consequences. Whether they're good or bad, you have to face them on your own."
Wang Yuan froze at Zhao Nuanyue's words, her mind wandering.
"Yes, you're right," Wang Yuan echoed. "You reap what you sow."
'Wang Yuan felt a flicker of fear. To get the life and things she wanted, she had hurt people. Would there be retribution?'
'But she couldn't worry about that now. She refused to be content with her current life; she wanted a change.'
Although Zhao Nuanyue hoped her words might dissuade Wang Yuan, she knew Wang Yuan wasn't the type to give up easily. She was certain she wouldn't.
After that, Wang Yuan and Zhao Nuanyue chatted for a long time about Nianqiao Village, falling back into their old, easy rapport. Just as Zhao Nuanyue was running out of things to talk about, Zhao Nuanyang returned from his grocery shopping.
