If You Are a Dodder Flower

Part 34

There were several situations that if she changed her perspective, the entire thing would transform.

That morning, Xia Rou came with obvious dark circles under her eyes. She glanced at Cao An.

Regarding his on-and-off relationship with He Chengzhe, she had always sided with Cao An. Despite this, she would at times feel sorry for He Chengzhe because of Cao An's behavior.

But now, as she tried to look at it from He Chengzhe's point of view, a chill ran down her spine.

He Chengzhe - though he was excellent in person, in the end he was from an ordinary background. When compared to the fourth young master of Commander Cao's Family, the gap in their identities couldn't be overcome.

Because of this gap, for ten years Cao An would go through lovers like a revolving door. Men and women, depending on his mood.

He Chengzhe he could not date, nor could he marry.

Everything would be destroyed by Cao An.

In that ten years, disregarding gender, couldn't he have found someone that he truly loved?

What about the woman he had almost married?

Xia Rou changed her perspective. She could finally understand all the pain and suffering He Chengzhe had gone through, as well as... the frightening Cao An.

But he was still her closest confidante, the intimate fourth brother. They had no secrets from one another.

She looked at the empty chair at the dining table.

Cao Xing had always been fickle. Even when she died, he still hadn't gotten married, saying he hadn't played enough.

She did hear a few times that a pregnant woman came by the house to look for him. Cao Xing spoke only once to her: "Give birth to the baby first, then do a DNA test. If the baby is mine, I'll raise it."

He would only raise the child. He never promised to give any status to the woman. If the mother didn't have a title, that meant the child could only be called an illegitimate child.

After that, the woman disappeared. Whether she gave birth to the child or not, Xia Rou didn't know. If a woman met a man like this, she could only grind her teeth and swallow back blood.

But this was the third brother that had decorated her room full of plushies, took her along to ski, and even trained with her to bring her along to extreme sports.

Her sight moved to another vacant chair. Translated by The Novelst

Second brother Cao Bin... He was still alright.

But of course, Xia Rou's relationship with Cao Bin was the most distant among the four brothers. He was the most unfamiliar to her. His face would always crease in a smile, making people unable to see through him.

But he had a properly matched marriage and wedded a smart wife. After their nuptials, the two moved out of the old house into Cao Bin's place in the government compound.

He probably had aspirations for his official career, which was why he cherished his feathers. His marriage was much more traditional compared to Cao Xing and Cao An.

Finally, she couldn't help but look at Cao Yang.

Cao Yang had already noticed her looking like a panda, realizing she was spacing out again early in the morning. He looked at her, his brows creased.

Xia Rou's gaze turned to him. When she saw the familiar "川" between his brows, she fell into a trance, seeming to have returned to her past life...

His face had always stiffened, his brows furrowing, when he looked at her.
