I stood at the door of Huo Ting's study, my palms sweating and my heart pounding like a drum. Taking a deep breath, I gently knocked on the door.
"Come in," Huo Ting's deep voice came from within.
I pushed the door open and saw him sitting at his desk, focused on his work. The sunlight streaming through the window illuminated his profile, highlighting his chiseled features. He looked up at me, his gaze warm. "What's wrong, Wen Wan?"
I bit my lip and mustered the courage to speak. "Huo Ting, I have something to tell you."
He set down his pen and gestured for me to sit. I moved to the chair opposite him and anxiously twisted my hands together.
"Huo Ting, I... I need to confess something." I lowered my head, unable to meet his eyes. "I've been testing you during this time."
As soon as the words left my mouth, I felt a wave of relief wash over me. I lifted my head cautiously to observe Huo Ting's expression. To my surprise, there was no anger or disappointment on his face; instead, there was a hint of a smile.
"I know," he said softly.
I was taken aback. "You... you know?"
Huo Ting nodded, a gentle light flickering in his eyes. "I noticed from the first time you deliberately came home late."
A rush of shame flooded over me, and tears uncontrollably welled up in my eyes. "I'm sorry, Huo Ting. I shouldn't have done that. I... I just wanted to know if you really cared about me."
Huo Ting stood up and walked over to me, kneeling down to take my hands in his. "Silly girl, how could I not care about you?"
His hands were warm and strong, providing me with immense comfort. I sobbed as I spoke. "But you never show it. I thought... I thought you married me just to appease your family."
Huo Ting gently wiped away my tears, his voice low and tender. "Wen Wan, I know I'm not good at expressing myself. But I believe that proving my love through actions is more meaningful than just saying it."
I was stunned as memories flooded back to me. Although Huo Ting rarely said he loved me, he had indeed shown his care through his actions over the years. Every time I fell ill, he would personally take care of me; whenever I faced difficulties at work, he would quietly help me resolve them; even when I deliberately came home late, he would simply wait for me in silence...
"I've been waiting for you to see my true feelings," Huo Ting continued, his eyes filled with tenderness. "I know you need time to adjust and to believe it. That's why I didn't expose your little tricks but instead played along with you."
Hearing this, I could no longer contain my emotions and threw myself into Huo Ting's embrace. His arms were broad and warm, making me feel incredibly safe.
"I'm sorry, Huo Ting," I choked out, "I was so foolish not to see your heartfelt intentions."
Huo Ting gently patted my back, comforting me, "It's okay. The important thing is that you understand now. Wen Wan, I love you, and I always have."
Those simple three words made my heart tremble. This was the first time Huo Ting had expressed his feelings so openly. I looked up and saw deep affection and tenderness in his eyes.
"I love you too, Huo Ting," I whispered, feeling something melt within me.
In that moment, the barriers and misunderstandings that had lingered between us for years finally dissipated. We embraced each other, sharing the longing and love we had felt over the years.
"Do you remember our first meeting?" Huo Ting asked, nostalgia in his eyes.
I nodded, a smile unconsciously spreading across my face. "How could I forget? You were wearing a sharp suit, standing in the sunlight, looking so handsome that I couldn't bear to look directly at you."
Huo Ting chuckled softly, "And you were in a white dress, like an angel. At that moment, I knew you were the one I wanted to spend my life with."
I leaned against Huo Ting's shoulder, feeling his warmth and breath. "But later on, it seemed like you were very distant with me."
Huo Ting sighed, "I'm not good with words; I didn't know how to express my feelings. I was afraid that saying the wrong thing would hurt you, so I chose silence. Looking back now, that only led to misunderstandings about my true feelings."
I took Huo Ting's hand in mine. "It's okay; we need to communicate better from now on and avoid any more misunderstandings."
Huo Ting nodded, a hint of regret flashing in his eyes. "I'm sorry for making you feel wronged all these years. From now on, I'll work hard to express my feelings so you can feel my love."
I shook my head. "We both made mistakes. In the future, I'll also strive to be a good wife, taking care of your life and being concerned about your work."
Huo Ting looked at me tenderly. "You are already the best wife."
From that day on, our relationship underwent a tremendous transformation. I began learning how to take care of Huo Ting's life—preparing heartfelt breakfasts for him every day and organizing his clothes. Huo Ting also became more considerate, often surprising me with little gestures like suddenly gifting me a bouquet of flowers or taking me to try out new restaurants.
We started enjoying the sweetness of our world together. On weekends, we would go see movies we had been eagerly anticipating or stroll hand in hand down the street, savoring our leisurely time together.
One day, Huo Ting suddenly suggested we go on a trip.
"Just the two of us?" I asked, a bit surprised.
Huo Ting nodded, a smile in his eyes. "It's time for a honeymoon, what do you think?"
I happily nodded in agreement. We chose a quiet island, far from the hustle and bustle, just each other's company. Walking along the soft beach, watching the sunset slowly sink into the horizon, I felt as if I had come back to life.
"Huo Ting," I leaned against his shoulder and said softly, "thank you."
He looked down at me, his eyes filled with tenderness. "Thank you for what?"
"Thank you for not giving up on me, thank you for always waiting for me." As I spoke, my eyes grew a bit misty.
Huo Ting gently kissed my forehead. "Silly girl, I love you. How could I ever give you up?"
I stood on my tiptoes and softly kissed his lips. "I love you too, Huo Ting. Very, very much."
The afterglow of the sunset bathed us in warmth, and the sea breeze gently brushed against us, bringing with it a refreshing scent. I nestled in Huo Ting's embrace, feeling an unprecedented sense of happiness and joy.
I knew this was just the beginning of our new life together. The road ahead would be long, and we might face various difficulties and challenges. But as long as we held hands and faced them together, nothing could stand in our way.
Looking into Huo Ting's gentle eyes, I silently vowed to cherish this hard-won happiness and to love this deep, reserved yet gentle and caring man with all my life.
