Chapter 155: Chapter 155
YuZhi relented, knowing he could never deny her anything and waved to the nurse who was still nearby and cleaning up the trolley from dressings. Knowing he was being unreasonable expecting her to stay still and be good but all he wanted to do was wrap her up in cotton wool and pamper her.
“Can we wheel her to the other private room and have them together? I don’t want her to get out of bed.” YuZhi turned a stern look on TangShi as she made to protest and she simmered back down, knowing when to pick her fights. Her head was aching still; she was dizzy and her body was trembling and not a hundred percent capable of walking around.
“Ahh yes. I’ll go check if we can do that and make sure Miss. Choi’s treatments are done.” The nurse turned and walked off, leaving them alone and YuZhi interlaced his fingers with TangShi, staring at her intently. Leaning in close against the bed and sliding down into a seat he pulled up behind him.
“What?” TangShi nestled back down into her mattress, glad of being able to lay down while feeling so messed up. Hating to admit that he was right and she needed to stay in bed for the time being.
“I love you. Today scared me shitless. I don’t know what I would have done if you didn’t get away from him. If he had hurt you or taken you away from me and I couldn’t find you. I was losing my mind when we found Linlin’s car like that.”
“It’s over. Stop thinking like that.” TangShi turned on her side to stare at his face wishing she could wipe away the fatigue and stress lines that seemed to be etched on his face right now.
“Let’s get married right away. Soon as you recover. Not a big thing, or a PR planned event. Something small and meaningful and for us. To make this real. I don’t ever want to lose you.”
“That was out of the blue. We’re already married.” TangShi smiled at him, relaxing and yet touched by his words. Tiredness flooding her body and feeling like she had been running a marathon.
“Not really. I’ve been thinking about it since we got back together. I married you for all the wrong reasons, in a cold way, and our relationship became a scripted play. I don’t want to keep doing that. I’m marrying you for love, so we can be together and create a happy family. We don’t need the show and I don’t want one. I don’t need you in the public eye anymore. The certificate we signed was meaningless, but our wedding will be real and we can have a fresh start, the three of us.” YuZhi slid his free hand onto her belly and gently stroked it’s flatness with his thumb. Overcome with a warm internal happiness that made him choke up. Meaning every word.
“Miss. Choi, is waiting for you, Mr. Leng, Miss. Lei.” The nurse interrupted them, pulling their attention away from their discussion. Leading in another caretaker with her and they started to prep TangShi’s bed to move it while YuZhi stepped up and back but kept hold of her hand. Eyes on one another and smiling softly. TangShi agreeing to everything he just said.
“Let’s do that. What you said…. let’s start over and be happy. Rip up the papers and forget all the agreements of before. I want that more than anything.” TangShi’s eyes welled up and her heart expanded with love for him. Catching his eye as they smiled adoringly at one another and he squeezed her hand in his.
“Let’s get you well first. Some time out to recuperate and deal with all this mess. Once it’s all behind us, we’ll get married any way you want. No one can stop us. I’ll make you happy, Tang.”
