When saying this sentence, Lin Mubai felt an immense regret in his heart. How could he have forgotten that even though her intelligence was above average, she was still a woman. A woman's life should have times to be pursued, which could be the simplest happy moments of their lives. In the days that follow, they might still be happy, but because of family or children, that happiness can't be as pure.
And his mistake was not letting her fully enjoy even those simplest happy moments.
So what is pure happiness? It's not about living in a great house, eating fine food, or having lots of money. In his view, for his An Nan, it was just about him taking some time off work to accompany her to shop in the popular stores, or learning from typical husbands or boyfriends to buy her a cup of milk tea.
Understanding her wishes were so simple made Lin Mubai feel a deep ache for her.
