Chapter 129
【I am Mo WenHan, 27 years old. I have the best wife in the world. With me, she’ll act spoiled, act naughty, and complain. She’ll recklessly and immaturely ask me to comfort her. She also cooks for me. When I’m tired, she’ll also give me a massage and a warm smile.]
————————
I am Mo WenHan, S city’s biggest boss in the gemstone business. Everyone dawned over and kissed up to me. Many men and women delivered themselves to my doorsteps.
But I never accepted their offers. My mother once said that marriages without love were unhappy.
My father and her were an arranged marriage but treated each other with utmost respect until the moment they left the world due to a car accident.
No one knew that my mother was the current queen’s maternal aunt. That was why she had authority higher than the royals.
On June 5, I fell into a scheme. I drank out of a drugged cup of wine. However, through this, I met someone I wanted to protect for the rest of my life.
This must be what my mother meant. As expected, love was sweet.
At first, I thought this was yet another woman that wanted to use any means to climb into my bed. If not for my loss of self control, I would have thrown her out immediately. But later, I could only be grateful for my loss of control.
After a frenzied night, I didn’t wake up to a performance of wailing or histrionics. Rather, it was an angry and arrogant attitude that made me unsure how to react.
She was beautiful, stubborn, and rational. She said she had also fallen victim of a scheme. I didn’t know why but I immediately felt angry.
Who would be so heartless as to hurt such a wonderful woman?
Then, all I could think about was protecting her. I couldn’t let anyone think about hurting her.
But I wasn’t someone good with words. Perhaps because of my status and childhood surroundings. Even when I wanted to smile, it would look forced.
But she didn’t seem to mind or find it awkward. However, I still saw the nervousness in her eyes.
After my assistant delivered clothes, I invited her to eat. She agreed, which made me very happy.
When we arrived at the restaurant, however, we bumped into her ex-fiancé Le ChenXi. In S City, the good news of the reputed families never made headlines whereas the bad news would spread like wildfire.
I was worried but didn’t know what to do. I only stood and watched as she made the hypocritical woman tongue tied.
Pride erupted in my heart. I knew that I found the woman that I wanted to spend my entire life with.
To others, this might seem unbelievable. We met through special circumstances where we were both schemed against. There shouldn’t be any good ending to this story.
But I didn’t want to let go. Out of the billions of people in the world, there was that one person that could my eye. Immediately, I knew she was my person. Now that she appeared in my world, then there was no way I was giving her a chance to leave it.
I am a selfish man. I only wanted her to stay by my side.
But I didn’t know what to do. I didn’t know how to interact with her after I had been so aggressive. Luckily, she didn’t ignore me after that night. Instead, she was amicable.
I followed the instructions in the books and slowly made bigger and bigger steps towards her. I gave her a ring and proposed to her.
When she agreed, it felt as if I had gained the entire world.
She said there was no flowers or presents so I rushed to the nearest department store.
There, I encountered that hypocritical girl again. She kept chitter-chattering next to me. Even though she seemed to have said a lot, I really didn’t know what she was saying. My mind was focused on picking gifts for the love of my life so of course I didn’t have the energy to listen to irrelevant people.
When others misunderstood our relationship, I felt angry. How could this kind of hypocritical person be paired with me? The person I loved was much more worthy.
Qiao Yuan came on time to correct those people so that I could continue choosing flowers.
I didn’t understand the different meanings of different flowers. But when I saw that blue beauty, I knew this was the most suitable.
But when I bought it, other people once again mistook it as a present for that hypocritical woman.
I grabbed the flower and walked away. Seeing that woman always made me lose my appetite.
I successfully made XunMi agree to marry me. We happily returned home to prepare our wedding.
But all good things must come to an end. Later that night, I received news that she had left the world.
I froze, I didn’t believe it. How could that happen? She was smiling in my arms just last night!
If I reject the news, turn off my phone, and refuse to leave the house, I felt that I could convince myself she was still here.
But I had to face reality. When I stepped out of my front door, I walked into darkness as I promptly lost consciousness.
When I woke again, I was sitting in my car. I felt that I shouldn’t be waking up in the car but I couldn’t remember how I got there.
My heart suddenly clenched. Without even thinking, I headed straight to XunMi’s home. For some reason, I needed to see her and be by her side in that moment. I didn’t want her to suddenly disappear when I wasn’t aware. But why did I have this fear?
When I saw her, that panic and unease in my heart disappeared.
Her smile could always disperse my dark thoughts.
Love wasn’t all sweetness. There was also bitterness and fear. But I was willing to face all of it. As long as the other person was her, I could do anything.
When I heard her say that she owed me a wedding, I almost cried on the spot. This beautiful woman was saying she wanted to marry me. I couldn’t contain my happiness.
I could tell she was hiding something from me. But I didn’t mind. Since I was determined to marry her, then I will trust her, accept her, spoil her, and protect her.
If she didn’t want to tell me something, it must be something I shouldn’t know. Then why should I ask and increase our worries?
The day we got married, she wore a fire red marriage gown and walked into the chapel that I decorated for her.
Standing at the center of the chapel, we vowed to be together forever.
Champagne glasses raised in the air to salute our happiness. Hearing the congratulations voiced all around us, I finally realized.
I’ve been waiting for a person my whole life. Someone who would make me feel sweetness even when drinking plain water, who could make eating bitter melon taste like honey.
Holding that person’s hand will teach me responsibility and duty.
Home is a very ordinary yet extraordinary word. Homes have warmed numerous souls and housed happiness for countless moons.
Now, white haired and wrinkly, I still held onto her hand tightly.
“Mi’er, I’m still so selfish. Accompany me, okay?”
“Okay.” Her tears fell yet she responded without the slightest hesitation. Just like when she jumped onto my back all those years ago and said I knew Han ge would catch me.
Mi’er. I, Mo WenHan, have no regrets in this life because of you. But I’m still greedy. In the next lifetime, in the vast sea of people, let’s meet again.
