In this moment, surrounded by the fragrance emanating from her, he felt her soft body pressed closely against him.
For a man, this was indeed a tremendous torment and trial!
After saying this, he turned and walked away.
Hua Nongying stared blankly at his dejected figure. Suddenly, she rushed forward and tightly embraced him.
Hearing this, Ma Lele's lips immediately curled into a strange smile.
Could it be that these two were developing something?
Indeed, indeed. With that thought, she simply smiled.
There was no way to express what she wanted to say!
Seeing this, Amin kindly asked, "Mother, do you need me to get you some paper and a pen?"
Ma Lele looked at him with gratitude, nodding repeatedly.
Wen Shaojun was taken aback; he realized he had indeed overlooked something. Once again, his son had stolen the spotlight. Thinking of this, he shot a fierce glare at that little brat!
Amin stuck out his tongue at him in defiance and then quickly ran off.
"The moonlight is really beautiful tonight!" Wen Shaojun suddenly said softly.
Ma Lele was startled. At that moment, in the vast garden, only the two of them remained. Thinking about Wen Shaojun's hesitant words, her heart began to race wildly.
But he was also a bit curious if this man, who was not good with words, would actually say those things out loud.
Wen Shaojun turned his head to look at the woman beside him. Under the moonlight, she appeared as radiant as a fairy. Although her stunning beauty had faded, in his heart, she was still incredibly beautiful.
Thinking of this, the words that had lingered in his mind for a long time finally gathered the courage to be spoken. "Lele, I..."
Just then, a clear child's voice interrupted him. "Mother, I'm here!"
Wen Shaojun glared at the culprit—his well-behaved and adorable son, who was now running towards them.
Amin had no idea he had interrupted his father's moment and quickly handed paper and pen to Ma Lele. "Mother, let's communicate like this!"
Ma Lele nodded appreciatively.
She caught a glimpse of Wen Shaojun's expression and found it amusing to see him holding back his feelings.
"Amin, go find someone to play with. Okay?" In the end, Wen Shaojun still patiently spoke up.
"I don't want to! I haven't seen Mother in a long time. I want to play with Mother!" Amin immediately rejected his suggestion.
"You little rascal, are you ignoring what your father says?" Wen Shaojun pretended to be angry and scolded him sternly. His expression was indeed somewhat frightening.
Ma Lele couldn't help but laugh at the sight of the two of them; they were just too cute!
"You're being unreasonable, Dad!" Amin retorted defiantly, clenching his little fists tightly as if he were ready to challenge Wen Shaojun.
"If you don't listen, I'll spank you!" Wen Shaojun immediately put on a serious face.
Amin instantly wilted and lowered his head in grievance.
Seeing this, Ma Lele quickly grabbed a pen and paper, walked to a nearby pavilion, wrote a few words, and then came out to hand it to Amin.
As soon as Amin saw it, he immediately broke into a smile. "Dad, Mother, I'm leaving!"
With that, he bounced away holding the note.
Wen Shaojun was curious about what was written on the note, but thinking about his current "serious business," he felt relieved that the kid had left!
"Lele, I'm sorry!" He took a deep breath, and his first words were this.
Ma Lele raised an eyebrow and pulled him into the pavilion. Once they were seated, she wrote, "Why are you apologizing to me?"
Looking into the clear eyes of the woman before him, Wen Shaojun felt a stir in his heart and gathered his courage. "Because I feel like I haven't taken good care of you! I let you... endure such hardships!"
"But that wasn't your obligation!" Ma Lele wrote back, increasingly intrigued by this man.
"But I want to protect you! To take care of you!"
"Why?" Ma Lele playfully intended to tease him.
"Because... because..." Indeed, Wen Shaojun was stammering at this moment. After a long pause, he couldn't articulate the reason!
Seeing the suspicious blush on his face, Ma Lele could easily conclude that he was genuinely shy!
"Because of what?" She continued to press him!
"Because I love you!" In a moment of desperation, Wen Shaojun finally blurted out those words!
Ma Lele paused slightly; she hadn't expected him to say it. She couldn't help but feel touched; after all, she was no longer the beauty she once was.
Thinking of this, she asked again, "I'm so ugly now and mute. Do you still love me?"
Wen Shaojun looked at the words she wrote, his expression changed, and he said seriously, "What I love is you as a person; it has never been about looks. I admit that at first, I liked you because you resembled my deceased wife. However, after spending so much time together, I have come to see you as an independent individual. That’s why I have the courage to tell you, I love you!"
His words were sincere and touching, each sentence heartfelt.
Ma Lele knew he was speaking the truth. At that moment, her wounded heart seemed to find some comfort.
Why did she have to hold onto her love for Tian Feiyao? In fact, this man treated her better than Tian Feiyao ever did!
He could disregard everything for her, but what about Tian Feiyao? He couldn't even recognize her after she had changed her face.
Isn't it said that true love means recognizing someone no matter how they change in the vast sea of people?
Then perhaps this man didn't love her enough!
"Lele, what's wrong? Are you angry?" Wen Shaojun asked with slight regret, thinking that mentioning his initial attraction due to her beauty was why she was sulking in silence.
At this thought, he really wanted to slap himself!
"No, it's not like that!" Ma Lele quickly wrote. "It has nothing to do with you! What you said moved me deeply!"
That must mean she was thinking of that other man. Wen Shaojun felt a bit downhearted but realized it was impossible to make someone completely forget another person quickly. With that in mind, he gathered his courage and said, "Lele, I am willing to accompany you as we slowly forget him together! Would you be willing to watch Amin and the child in your belly grow up with me?"
The whole world seemed to freeze; Ma Lele could only stare in shock at the man before her.
This might be the simplest proposal in the world! There were no flowers or unrealistic sweet words.
Yet every word he spoke deeply touched her.
Ma Lele finally made up her mind and nodded heavily.
She finally believed that everything had long been predetermined by fate, and in the end, she would still marry this man, and Amin would become her son.
Only this family would be much happier than the one in Taiwan.
Seeing her nod, Wen Shaojun was so excited that he almost jumped up. He embraced the woman in front of him and said passionately, "Lele, trust me, marry me. I will never make you regret it!"
His voice even carried a hint of tears.
Ma Lele felt a stir in her heart as she gently stroked his back, smiling brightly in his embrace!
As they held hands to send Ma Lele back to her room to rest, Wen Shaojun suddenly asked, "What did you say to Amin today? Why is he being so well-behaved?"
In the end, Ma Lele did not tell Wen Shaojun what she had said to Amin.
It wasn't until the next morning when Wen Shaojun saw Amin coming out of Ma Lele's room that he finally understood what was going on!
He couldn't help but worry, thinking that if Amin was so attached to Lele, wouldn't he often compete with him for Lele after they got married?
