Gu Qingyao pursed her lips. “I made you wait for so many years already. Now that it’s all settled, it’s really not a must to wait for my parents to marry first.
“They are still overseas. Once my grandparents accept Father, the Qiao family returns and the wedding is held, it will probably be next year already.”
Mo Beihan pinched her cheeks and laughed. “Since you feel apologetic… you can make it up to me tonight!”
Gu Qingyao blushed and retorted, “I’m being serious!”
Mo Beihan chuckled and looked into her eyes while speaking seriously, “Yao Yao, tell me, as a girlfriend or rather a fiancee, what do you owe me?”
Gu Qingyao was stunned. Before she could say anything, Mo Beihan continued, “Just because you did not marry me early?”
Gu Qingyao said, “I… delayed you for a very long time in my previous lifetime, and there’s nothing much to contemplate about in this lifetime! We’ve already decided to marry, but it got delayed for six years because I went overseas. Now that we still need to wait for my parents’ wedding… actually… it’s not a must…”
“You have already been with me three years ago and given me what a wife could give. Why do you still feel like you owe me?” Mo Beihan interrupted her before she finished speaking.
Gu Qingyao: “…”
Mo Beihan rubbed her forehead and hugged her. “Foolish lady. Actually, before you went overseas, and even during the time where you were just reborn, you would not reject me if I really did anything to you, right?”
Gu Qingyao nodded!
Mo Beihan chuckled. “Isn’t it all right then? I dote on and care about you, so I am willing to wait years for you to grow up. Marriage is an affair between two people. I wish to get married early, and you wish to marry me after your parents marry. Why do you feel that you should listen to me and cannot have your own opinions?”
Gu Qingyao’s hug tightened. “Brother Beihan, I know you dote on me a lot. I also wish to… dote on you too!”
Mo Beihan hugged her like he would hug a child. “You just feel that you made me wait for too long in this lifetime. Actually, Yao Yao, I never felt delayed by those days spent with you. I have always been extremely happy and fortunate when I am with you. The only regrettable thing was failing to treat your mental trauma earlier and letting you marry me in the previous lifetime.”
Gu Qingyao was extremely regrettable and upset. “I was too melodramatic. If I could think through it earlier, it would not have been delayed for so long.”
Mo Beihan did not agree though. “Without personally experiencing it for themselves, no one has the right to call you melodramatic. I only know that my Yao Yao was still very young and ignorant at that time. I couldn’t protect you even when I wanted to.
“I also know that you are very afraid and helpless at that time. You wanted to escape but couldn’t and still had to try your best to continue living on.
“You clearly couldn’t forget the past trauma for years but still felt guilty toward me and felt that you delayed me.”
Mo Beihan lowered his head and looked at the young lady in his arms. “Yao Yao, you don’t owe me anything. I am willing to dote on you and wait for you. Furthermore, you have already been together with me three years ago and have given me everything a wife could give. Why do you feel like you owe me?
“I want you to love me wholeheartedly and not for you to dote on me out of guilt.”
