A second chance with my billionaire husband

Chapter 1374 - 269: Life’s Hardships, Wishes Finally Fulfilled (Part 1)

Yan Song’s throat bobbed up and down, the words seemed stuck, as he tightened his grip around Yun Ya’s waist, burying his face in her chest. Yun Ya gently patted his back, each touch tender yet firm.

"Everyone was too naive, thinking that woman truly regretted her actions. The couple returned home with their newborn son, and everyone was delighted. The woman even personally organized a lavish wedding for them to display her magnanimity. The wedding was indeed grand, everyone praised her for her generosity. But everyone forgot that when a viper bites, it always hides in the grass, delivering a strike when least expected. She disguised herself well, fooling everyone. Years passed peacefully, and gradually, people forgot past grievances. Under her management, the household was well-ordered, and who wouldn’t praise her as virtuous? Yet when that woman got pregnant and gave birth again, she couldn’t resist acting..."

At this point, Yun Ya sensed Yan Song’s voice was choked with emotion. She lightly patted his back, sighing inwardly.

"Two deaths in one birth, the woman died in childbirth, only 26 years old, leaving the world so young. Her death was gruesome, agonizing, she died in excruciating pain. The man was heartbroken, holding his wife’s corpse in the delivery room for three days and nights, without eating or drinking. It was summer then, and her body began to decompose in his arms. People tried to persuade him, but he couldn’t hear a thing... Three days later, he used the umbilical cord from his wife’s delivery to strangle himself, dying with her tightly in his embrace. No one could separate them. With blood, he wrote his last words on the ground: ’In life, we couldn’t share a quilt; in death, may we share a grave. I have no regrets, only this wish...’ His family respected his last wish, burying them together..."

Yan Song suddenly hugged Yun Ya tightly as he spoke, as though he wanted to meld her into his very bones and blood. She remained silent, only feeling shock, as if time’s river had shown her that passionate, tumultuous couple. Love like theirs truly exists, so shocking and intense, it made her heart ache silently. Such love is too heavy, too sorrowful. Yet even with such an ending, they were happy, better than living alone.

After a long while, Yan Song’s emotions slowly calmed, and he said quietly, "They were my grandparents."

Yun Ya had already guessed, so she wasn’t surprised. Yet hearing it from his lips, she still felt a pang in her heart, aching for Brother Yan, for Uncle Yan, and even more for those ill-fated lovers.

This also made her hate Lu Yuke even more, that vile woman deserving a thousand deaths.

People had only heard that Yan Guomao and his wife died young in a tragic romance, leaving beautiful legends in the world. Outsiders spoke of the Yan Family’s inherited passion — Yan Guomao so, Yan Nanmo so, and Yan Song too...

But who knew there was such a deep-hidden truth...

When Yan Guomao died, Uncle Yan was only a few years old. What a huge blow that must have been for a child. Fortunately, he didn’t fall into despair. Instead, he met Aunt Zhuang, who with her gentle and understanding love, melted the coldness in that man’s heart. Isn’t that another form of fulfillment?

Yun Ya held his face, seeing the usual strong man’s eyes slightly moist. Yes, they were his family, ending tragically like that. Anyone with a conscience would find it hard to reconcile.

"Brother Yan, we must avenge Grandpa and Grandma," Yun Ya said resolutely, word by word.

Yan Song paused and said quietly, "When Dad was a child, disasters befell him repeatedly. When he was seven, he nearly drowned. Back then, Great Grandpa was still young enough to protect him. As Dad grew, he learned to protect himself, and gradually uncovered the truth about his parents’ deaths. But out of consideration for Great Grandpa and this family, he chose to endure. As the years passed, Dad never forgot the hatred for a day. But with Great Grandpa around, he couldn’t act recklessly. But now, I can no longer hold back."

He said, "What does family legacy or kinship matter? I only know, if there’s revenge to take, I will take it; if there’s a grievance to redress, I will redress it."

Revenge is one aspect. On the other hand, Lu Yuke harmed Yun Ya, violating his bottom line. He would no longer endure. If Dad wouldn’t take action, he would.

Yun Ya’s eyes moistened, and she tightly hugged him, "Brother Yan, whatever you do, I will support you."

I thank you for being willing to tell me these things, proving you consider me your most trusted person.

Yan Song’s lips curled into a gentle smile, softly stroking her long hair, speaking each word gently and deeply, "I don’t want you in danger. Before our engagement, I want to clear all threats for you, Yun Ya. My heart, can you feel it?"

He placed Yun Ya’s hand on his chest, where his heart beat fervently, pounding one beat after another, making Yun Ya’s wrist numb and her heart ache.
