Young Master Li s Dumb Wife - C458
“You have already decided. I will not object to anything.”
Li Chenxi knew her very well. The thing she had decided on was something that not even nine oxen could pull back. It was just a futile effort. It would be better to think of how to help her. That would be the most effective way!
“However, there are some words that I must say. You are just Diu Diu’s foster mother, and everyone’s character and upbringing, aside from those that come from nurturing them, there is also a portion of an Innate Inheritance. You may be able to change them for the most part, but that does not mean that you will be certain about them.
Li Chenxi didn’t want to pour cold water on her, nor did he have any objections to Diu Diu, the child. It was just that the truth was the truth and he had to say it clearly.
There were only two results in the future. Shu Yao was a good mother, and once she grew up, she might have completely forgotten about the tragic events of her childhood. She would be a healthy person and would eventually be able to establish her own world.
But there was also a possibility.
That was the thing that everyone was unwilling to accept and face. The extreme shadow in their heart was like a dark cloud that would never retreat, but would only be temporarily suppressed. One day, their wings would be full, completely exposed, and a crazy beast nature could engulf everything.
Just like what the couple had said, he had completely become a living devil.
At that time, Shu Yao would probably blame herself in her heart and that would make her suffer even more.
The latter might never happen, but no one could predict the future. It was hard to say what would happen in the future.
It would be better to give her a precaution first.
Therefore, Li Chenxi did not agree to adopt Diu Diu, but since she insisted on it, and he was unshakable, he could only acquiesce.
“Moreover, there is one more thing …”
Li Chenxi looked at her, lengthened his voice, and took a deep breath before speaking, “I must ensure that this child does not harm Xixi. Otherwise, I cannot be at ease!”
Shu Yao looked at him, her pupils contracted as she hid many things, “I understand, but for some reason, every time I see Diu Diu, I feel that …”
As the words reached her mouth, she couldn’t say it clearly.
To be precise, he didn’t know what to say.
Every time she saw Diu Diu, a certain part of her heart would unconsciously soften. She looked at this child, and her heart was not as simple as ordinary love and pity, but it was as if he was a part of the responsibilities and duties bestowed to her by the heavens. She always felt that this child was hers.
That feeling was so strange.
There was no reason at all. Perhaps it was because she had lost a child and was also a mother, causing her motherhood to be overrun!
Thinking about it, Shu Yao shook his head, “Forget it, it doesn’t matter, I have already adopted him, no matter what happens in the future, I will do my best, as long as I have a clear conscience!”
“I hope you keep thinking that way.” He looked at her, still worried.
Shu Yao stared at the sea, her long eyelashes trembling slightly. Her beautiful eyes reflected the sorrow of the deep blue ocean as she struggled to suck in a breath.
Li Chenxi couldn’t help but pull her into his embrace, and bent down to listen with a heavy voice, “To be able to easily understand the hearts of others, is a very painful thing. It’s been so many years, I’ve troubled you!”
While she was still stunned, his loving kiss fell on her lips with unmistakable focus.
A light kiss, like a dragonfly touching the water.
It was filled with tenderness.
“I remember about ten years ago, a little girl about the age of twenty stood under a tree and told me that she could read minds, and that she could easily find out any secrets hidden in the hearts of others. In her mind, there is a memory palace that others will never know or be able to imagine.” As he slowly spoke, he turned his eyes to look at the boundless sea level.
Shu Yao was slightly stunned, as her thoughts slowly drifted about, she seemed to have thought of a certain point, and the little girl that he spoke of, was herself.
“That’s not right!” Instead, she opened her mouth.
Li Chenxi did not care what she said, but he continued with his own words, “In that memory palace, there are too many good people and bad people. There are not many good people, but the deeds of the bad people are very bad, she wants to expose them, he wants to bring the bad people to justice, he wants to avenge his father.”
As he said that, he lowered his head, just happening to touch the shock in Shu Yao’s eyes. He held her shoulders and said, “But she also knows, that at that time, she was too young, no matter what she said or did, no one would believe her. She didn’t have any background, nor any backing, and the only thing she could do was to endure it.
Shu Yao’s breath tightened. These words, she had indeed said them before.
Ten-odd years ago, when she was nine years old, her father passed away. She saw with her own eyes her father, who died due to poison, as well as her stepmother Xue Caili’s vicious face.
Her mother, An Rou, was controlled by Xue Caili and was only left with a few years of age. No matter what she said or did, no one would believe her.
However, no one should know about these words!
“How did you know?” she said sternly.
But before he finished speaking, she was immediately refuted by himself, and changed his words, “No, even if you were there, or heard from others, Li Chenxi, could it be that it was because of this that you …”
“That’s right. It was because of this that I heard everything from that girl on the tree in the evening. Looking at her crying by herself and even trying to be strong, eleven years after that incident, I changed my will.”
Just to help that little girl at that time.
In that moment, Shu Yao understood.
Back then, he had chosen to change Granny Li’s will, not because he loved her deeply. It could only be said that she had left a deep impression in his heart when she had been careless.
He could be considered a good person, so, in the dark, he chose to let her marry him, giving her a backing and strength that would allow her to take revenge for her dead father.
“Li Chenxi, you …”
For a moment, she was in a state of disarray. Her words were about to reach her mouth, but she was at a loss as to what to say.
“Initially, when I altered my will and suddenly got married, if you say that it was to help that little girl, then everything that happened in the future is the girl from back then. She taught me how to love someone!”
He thought for a moment, then corrected himself. “No, I should say what love is. That girl, she gave me a taste of love.”
Sour, sweet, bitter and spicy all have to taste, experienced constant escape, painful and sorrowful memories, heartbreaking loss, regret and sorrow, will truly understand the true meaning of love, will also understand how important this person is to you.
“Yet, you are that girl.” He looked at her and saw that the deep blue color of the deep eyes’s skin was comparable to the surface of the sea. It was all because of her.
“Li Chenxi, you …”
Shu Yao had never imagined that he would say anything touching to her, nor did she think that he would do anything to help her, or for the sake of this relationship. She only thought that everything he had done was only because she was his ex-wife, and because she was a child.
But now …
Even if this was just a fleeting dream scam, Shu Yao would still be willing to be caught in it.
At that moment, she believed, he was really in love with her.
The man’s bright smile became even brighter in front of her eyes, his slender jade-like fingers caressed her cheeks and said softly, “We have known each other since a young age, but I did not like you since a young age, from caring about you to caring about you, from making friends to getting married, from wife to ex-wife, Shu Yao, no matter what happens in the future, you will only be mine for the rest of your life, I am the same too.”
“I will do as I say!” Never go back on your word. ”
No matter how much words he said, they were unable to express the depths of Shu Yao’s heart at the moment, as though something had completely collapsed. She could not care about it anymore, as she embraced him without hesitation and tightly hugged the man’s waist, closing her moist eyes.
