Chapter 73: I’ll Learn to Love You
“Mrs. Qin, since you have said Qin Wen did something wrong, why not let her get the punishment she deserves? It is useless to beg me. Don’t bother my mom any more, or I’ll not let you off. Please leave now.”
Shiyao turned her eyes towards You Ze, and You Ze held her up.
“Sorry, Mrs. Qin. My wife gets too tired now and needs some rest. So will you please go if you have nothing else to say? My wife has responded to your demand clearly. I hope you know clearly now that not anyone can mess with You’s family.” Then You Ze turned to the butler and said:”Please see her out!”
After that, You Ze took Shiyao to her room directly. The second Mrs. Qin got anxious but could do nothing, and was pushed out by the butler violently.
Shiyao sat frozen on bed, and held You Ze with her arms, refusing to let him go.
“You Ze,” Shiyao called in a low voice.
“Huh?” You Ze stroked Shiyao’s hair affectionately, and he did get more and more attracted by the sweet appearance of the girl.
“Do you hide anything from me?”
“No. What’s up?” You Ze asked back in confusion.
Shiyao pushed You Ze away with anger, saying, “Do you have a lot of money? More than 100 million? Why are people of Qin’s scared of you so much? Are you a gang leader?”
You Ze was lost in a trance for a moment, and rubbed Shiyao’s hair smilingly.
“What are you thinking about?! Your husband has a military background for real! But as for the money…”
You Ze paused deliberately, “Maybe more than 100 million indeed. I have no idea. I haven’t counted.”
Looking dumbfounded, Shiyao pinched her own face.
“So you mean I’m not only rich, but also super rich?”
Amused by her stupid but lovely look, You Ze grinned from ear to ear, “Yes, yes, you’re a super rich lady! You little money-grubber…”
“Then can I borrow money from you? No matter how much I want?”
“You dumb girl! I’ll give you no matter how much you want. But you don’t have to borrow. Now that I belong to you, so does my money.”
Smiling faintly, You Ze pushed down Shiyao on the bed, and placed his head on her breast to feel her smell.
Shiyao felt she was so lucky today that a series of good things happened to her. She was a rich lady now, so she wouldn’t have to fear anyone from now on, and moreover she even could protect her mom and uncle…
Shiyao laughed uncontrollably. You Ze raised his head and pinched her nose.
“Little money-grubber. Are you so happy for being rich? Even if I don’t have much money, I won’t let you starve!”
Shiyao pouted her lips with scorn. Of course, You Ze didn’t know how much grievance Shiyao had suffered for lack of money. Now that she had money, she wouldn’t let herself suffer any more.
“Of course. I can do a lot of things with money.”
Lowering her eyes, Shiyao thought of her childhood when she wanted to eat a kind of cake with thick chocolate sauce and shining small cherries on it. A small piece cost 40 yuan. Every time she passed by the shop, she couldn’t help casting more glances.
She would save every penny she earned carefully, because she knew her mom often struggled for a rent of a few hundred yuan. Shiyao was considerate, and she never tasted one piece of that kind of cake.
“So do you think money is more important than love?”
You Ze sounded serious suddenly. Staring at his eyes, Shiyao thought of Zhao Xuehan. You Ze must have been so heartbroken to be abandoned by the woman he once loved deeply because of money. Besides, You Ze could be regarded as a rich man. So you could imagine how ambitious the woman was.
“Money can make two people in love live more happily. But they definitely won’t be apart just for lack of money. As for me, as long as I deeply love someone, I’ll not leave him no matter whether he is rich or poor. Of course, I love money, because I want to make myself, and my beloved ones live a better life.”
You Ze’s eyelashes fluttered, and he kissed Shiyao affectionately.
“It hurts…”
Having pushed You Ze away, Shiyao pointed to her wound on the thigh with her little face wrinkled up. The stitches had just been removed today. Although the wound had nearly healed, it still hurt when pressed by You Ze heavily.
“Sorry… I forget it. I’ll get the medicine right now!”
You Ze apologized in a hurry, and applied the medicine to the wound.
“It’s OK. Don’t be nervous.”
Feeling the soft movement of You Ze, Shiyao was deeply touched and comforted You Ze. Every day, You Ze would apply medicine for her and dress her up scrupulously. He had looked after her meticulously, and never got impatient. Sometimes, even Shiyao herself thought it was troublesome, but You Ze could help her without any complaint.
“You Ze, do you like me?”
Shiyao felt that she might have lost her mind. You Ze’s finger paused for a moment, and then went on.
“Yes.”
You Ze answered without any hesitation. He was not that romantic, but he knew about his true feelings.
As for the question, he had already thought it over. Shiyao had got more and more attractive to him, and You Ze had become more and more willing to devote himself to the girl as well.
“Then do you love me?” Shiyao asked subsequently.
You Ze moved his lips but didn’t reply.
“OK, you don’t have to answer me! I got it.”
Shiyao ended the topic in a hurry before You Ze could figure out how to reply.
“I like you too.”
Shiyao spoke to You Ze with a broad smile. All men were selfish. She had fallen in love with You Ze, but feared You Ze didn’t like her.
As for the sensitive word “love”, Shiyao felt reluctant to think about it. Once she told Li Sicheng that she loved him, and the guy had promised to love her forever. But what happened later?
People were all changeable. Shiyao didn’t want to put too much pressure on You Ze and herself. It was good to get along like this. She was already quite satisfied.
Having dealt with the wound properly, You Ze tucked Shiyao up.
“I’m going to take a shower.”
Standing under the shower head, You Ze was in a daze silently.
He had become quite unfamiliar with the word of “love”. He had loved someone like mad, but only got hurt deeply. So how could he be able to love someone again?
But the moment he thought of Shiyao, her sweet and delicate little face, her ringing voice, and her mischievous ideas, You Ze couldn’t help curling his lips.Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
She was such a kind and lovely girl, and deserved to be loved deeply.
You Ze said to himself in the mirror after wiping his body dry.
When he walked out, Shiyao lay on the bed with her eyes closed. You Ze thought she had fallen asleep, so he turned off the light and went to lie beside her.
“I’ll learn to love you.”
He could see how nice the girl was. He just had forgotten how to love someone since there were still scars engraved in his heart. But he couldn’t afford to lose Shiyao due to the fault of someone else.
She was his wife, and his only wife. He would make great efforts to learn to love the girl.
A hot drop of tear rolled out of Shiyao’s eyes, and dropped on the pillow quietly.
