As she spoke of the conflict with her boyfriend, a look of anguish crossed her face:
"To be honest, my boyfriend and I have been dating for nine years. I've always wanted to get married and settle down, but he says he wants to build his career first, hoping to have a better financial foundation before starting a family. But… but I'm already 38 years old. My youth is fading, and I really can't afford to wait any longer."
"Yesterday, we had a huge fight about this. He slammed the door on his way out and hasn't come back since."
"I've been thinking about it a lot, and I'm sure he must be cheating. Otherwise, why would he be so reluctant to get married?"
Tu Yue took out a photo of her boyfriend. In it, a man in a light-colored shirt stood in the sun, his smile gentle and heartwarming.
But judging from the photo, her boyfriend was indeed much younger than Tu Yue.
