Chapter 1723: Chapter 1724: Now I’m Your Husband

“Really?”

“Yes.” Li Shengxiao replied emphatically, his eyes filled with distant memories, “Aside from the very beginning when I used Duidui to threaten you into marriage and you protested, you’ve always been particularly accommodating to me.”

“Is accommodating you a bad thing?” Rong Yan asked, perplexed.

Who likes it when others argue with them?

Li Shengxiao suddenly looked at her, his deep-set eyes as dark as a well, with his hands behind his back, he said calmly, “It’s not bad, it’s just that it feels like I’ve been excluded from your life.”

“You won’t get angry with me nor make any demands, sometimes you even take care of my feelings. You didn’t realize before that this way of interaction was problematic, but this isn’t how a couple should interact. I haven’t been in a relationship with any other girl before you, but I’ve observed how others date. Gu Ming’s ex-girlfriend would often act cute with him, call him, wish to be with him every moment, and occasionally argue if he was too busy… But you never did these things… No matter how busy I was, or how long I was away, you’d only tell me to take care of my health…”

Rong Yan felt inexplicably guilty.

This accusation seemed pretty serious; was she really like that before?

She recalled a bit and realized it indeed was the way he described. She bit her lip with difficulty, “Am I not doing these things now?”

Li Shengxiao pulled her to him, his thin lips curled up, regal and proud, “So, I’m very happy.”

“Yanyan, even if you argue with me or we have disputes, I’m still very happy. Because to you, I’ve started to become different.”

“Now, I’m your husband.”

“…”

Rong Yan felt unexpectedly moved, her heart pounding, her ears burning, she turned her head away not daring to look into his eyes, muttering softly, “The marriage is already sealed, the coffin lid might as well, can I still escape?”

Li Shengxiao laughed heartily, sweeping away the past few days’ gloom, cheerfully admitting, “That’s what I’m afraid of, that you’ll run.”

“Even after announcing the marriage, I still feel uneasy, always wanting to grasp tighter, in case you run away.”

Rong Yan looked at him, feeling both amused and annoyed. Comparing their external conditions, she seemed to be the one who should be anxious. If he divorced, the line of women chasing him could stretch from the center of Capital City to Lin City; he’d still be an eligible bachelor. She, as a divorced woman with a child, had a much harder time finding someone. By comparison, shouldn’t she be anxious, holding onto him tightly so he wouldn’t slip away?

But more than that, she felt touched, that kind of soul-stirring emotion firmly occupied her heart. It was as if for the first time, she somewhat understood this man.

…

The next day, as soon as Rong Yan arrived at the company, she saw someone blocking the entrance, waiting for her.

“Chu Xi…?”

Chu Xi quickly walked over, a cold expression on her face, and a fierce look in her eyes, “You finally came.”

Rong Yan noticed her entire face exuded exhaustion, with dark circles under her eyes as if she hadn’t slept all night, making her look several years older than usual. Surprised, Rong Yan raised her eyebrows, stopped pressing the elevator button, turned around, and stood upright, asking calmly, “Did you need something from me?”

“Rong Yan, it was you, wasn’t it!”

What a madwoman.

“What did I do?”

Chu Xi pressed her voice hysterically, “At yesterday’s awards ceremony, the award, it was your doing, wasn’t it?”

Rong Yan shook her off, her eyes cold, “It wasn’t me.”

Chu Xi immediately followed up, “Hmph, if not you, then who else? Even if you don’t admit it, I know it was you!”
