Chi Mu has not returned from the meeting.
I am waiting outside.
He Linlin suddenly appeared: “ Ning Zhaozhao, why are you still here?”
“Can you not be such an eyesore?”
I shot her a sideways glance: “Are you so afraid to see me? What are you scared of?”
“You can’t really have developed feelings for Chi Mu, right?”
“He’s an old man who could be your father.”
Just then, the door to the conference room opened.
Chi Mu walked out.
He Linlin turned pale, suddenly falling to the ground, her knees bruised and swollen.
She let out a scream: “Ah, it hurts so much.”
Chi Mu immediately rushed over, and upon seeing He Linlin on the ground, his expression changed dramatically as he picked her up in his arms.
He Linlin had tears in her eyes: “Mr. Chi, it was my own clumsiness, please don’t blame anyone else.”
Chi Mu coldly scanned the surroundings: “Who did this?”
“Who did it?”
Others stepped back in a flurry.
I smiled and said, "It's me."
Chi Mu suddenly looked up, his sharp gaze directed at me: " Ning Zhaozhao, did you hurt Linlin?"
I nodded, "She brought it upon herself."
He Linlin curled up in Chi Mu's arms, crying like a rain-soaked pear blossom: "Mr. Chi, I know my identity and status don't match yours, but I can't help but fall in love with you."
"I know our relationship is not something that can be seen in the light."
"I don't care if others call me Mistress or accuse me of being your mistress. As long as I know you love me too, that's enough."
"Mr. Chi, I love you. As long as you love me, I want to be with you forever."
Chi Mu raised his hand to wipe away her tears, his tone exceptionally gentle: "Be good, don't cry."
"It's my fault for making you suffer."
I took a deep breath.
I said to Chi Mu, " Chi Mu, for this year's birthday, I want five hundred thousand."
Chi Mu frowned: "You never asked for money before; why are you so greedy now?"
This was something we had agreed upon before we got married.
I said softly, "You said it yourself, after we get married, you would give me whatever amount I wanted. Have you forgotten?"
His expression was cold, but his face softened a bit. "I can give you five hundred thousand, but you need to apologize to Linlin."
My pupils constricted.
This was the first time he had humiliated me for another woman.
The pain in my body spread to every limb.
It hurt a lot, but I gritted my teeth and remained silent.
I turned and walked away.
I was curious; when I die and he learns the whole truth, will he regret what he has done now?
I returned home alone.
My body hurt so much.
I curled up in bed, cold sweat dripping down my forehead.
I took a little sleeping pill, convincing myself that as long as I fell asleep, the pain would go away.
In a daze, I had a dream.
I returned to the year I was twenty.
"Zhao Zhao, happy birthday!"
"You see, I bought you a cake!"
Chi Mu placed the cake in front of me.
The cake was covered with fruits, looking very beautiful.
I remembered this cake cost 258 yuan.
I complained to him, "So expensive, why did you buy it?"
Chi Mu gently touched my head and said, "Because I want to give you the best."
"You are the most wonderful girl in the world to me."
"So, I want to give you the best of everything."
Later, I found out that the money he used to buy the cake was earned by handing out flyers on the street all day in the cold.
He had frostbite on his fingers and blisters. Some were even infected, but he said it didn't hurt; he would do anything for me.
He really loved me.
I cried as I finished the cake completely.
The next day, I bought ointment and applied it little by little on his hands.
He smiled at me and said, "Zhao Zhao, it doesn't hurt."
"But if you care about me, you can treat me a little better."
I lifted my face and said, “ Chi Mu, I will treat you very well.”
Later, we got married.
But over time, he simply forgot.
Forgot that in this world, only I would treat him as the best young man!
The phone rang.
I groggily answered it, and it was Chi Mu's voice: “ Ning Zhaozhao.”
I smiled gently at him and said, “ Mu, I want to eat cake.”
I continued, “Do you remember? When it was my birthday, you would always buy me cake.”
“I really want to eat it again.”
“Just the two of us, blowing out candles together and making wishes.”
I heard his breathing.
But I didn’t wait for his response and fell back into a deep sleep.
I didn’t know how complicated Chi Mu's feelings were on the other end of the line.
