Chapter 689: Deeply Rooted Love (134)
"But don’t you have to live with the Goddess?"
"I don’t like her, and I told her the truth after I went back that night."
Nan Yuesheng felt a bit of relief in her heart, "Ningyi needs to go to school after the New Year, and there is no school at the foot of Wangchuan Mountain."
"Then let’s buy a big house near the kindergarten, primary, middle, and high schools. Wouldn’t it be nice to live there?"
"But... you don’t let me go out to work, so we still need to spend your money, which is inappropriate."
"What exactly are you struggling with? If my money isn’t for someone I like, then who is it for?"
"This is no longer a simple relationship, because marriage involves shared property, and it’s as if I’m spending your wife’s money too."
"I’m in a particularly difficult position; on one hand, I can’t give you the social status you want, and on the other hand, I want to be with you. Just now, I was thinking, if fate has doomed me to not escape the marriage forced upon me, do I have to live with someone I don’t love forever? Is status really more important than two hearts that want to be together? If I shortchange you on status, can I compensate you in other ways, such as with all my love?"
His words were a revelation to Nan Yuesheng.
Status is not greater than two hearts that want to come together, otherwise, she wouldn’t have had the child with Mo Lingqi without being married because she loves him!
"Before, we admitted our love to stop the marriage arranged by my father. So in everyone’s eyes, we are a couple. Jun Xiangyi must know this. Despite knowing we’re together, she still wants to marry me. She had a choice among several of my brothers but specifically chose me. What is she really after? If we talk about a third party, who truly is the third party? Sheng’er, I’m very happy living with you. For the first time, I realize the joy of living with someone rather than alone. Can you really bring yourself to push me away? Aren’t you someone who dares to love and hate? You love me now; are you really going to retreat and give up because of the gap that separates us?"
Nan Yuesheng, crying, reached out and hugged his neck, "I don’t know why fate is so cruel to me, why do all the men I love have to marry someone else, why isn’t that someone me, why, just why, why does this happen to me, what have I done wrong, where did I fail? Mohan, you’re right, is status really greater than two hearts that want to be close? Back when Mo Lingqi’s family opposed our marriage and wouldn’t let us get married, we were still together, even had the child, with no status at all. Have I lost that courage now?"
Xu Mohan held her tight, "As long as you’re willing, I’ll give you all my love. I will not touch her; in my eyes, you are my one and only Madam."
Nan Yuesheng’s heart melted, unsure of what the right thing to do was.
Xu Mohan, seizing the moment, "Sheng’er, would you like to be with me?"
Nan Yuesheng bit her lip hard, "I... I do."
Xu Mohan felt his heart almost leaping out, feeling like his old stone heart was finally blooming.
"Sheng’er..."
"Mhm..."
"I will make up for everything you’ve sacrificed for me."
"No, haven’t you sacrificed for me too? I’m a woman with a child, my body is no longer pure, yet you still gave me your heart. Actually..." her voice choked, "I really feel like I don’t deserve your love."
