Old Mr. Du again checked Si Yiyan’s body thoroughly. The fact that he had yet to come up with a suitable treatment plan for Si Yiyan made Wen Xinya’s heart feel heavy.
“Xinya!” Si Yiyan called softly while rubbing her sweaty palms gently. Noticing the grim expression on her face, he knew that she was being worried about his health.
Wen Xinya looked at his face which looked bright and clear because of the golden rays of the sun. Even the soft feathers on his face looked beautiful and tender.
Si Yiyan placed a hand on her face and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll be fine.”
He had made a huge vow to stay by her side regardless of all the obstacles that they would face. Since he had already made that promise, he would do everything he could to fulfill it.
Si Yiyan did not hide his gentleness at all. He continued to gaze at her with a heavy heart and tears welled up in her eyes. She blinked gently and smiled before waving her mobile phone in front of his face. “I’ve already recorded everything that you said. You must live up to your words!”
Si Yiyan rubbed her hair tenderly and affectionately. “Little imp.”
Wen Xinya held onto Si Yiyan’s arm smilingly and said, “Si Yiyan, let me take you to a place.”
Si Yiyan was stunned by her sullen expression.
Wen Xinya headed to the Mo Family home to get some viburnum flowers before driving Si Yiyan to Huaishan Cemetery.
Si Yiyan finally realized what Wen Xinya’s intentions were.
The journey to Huaishan Cemetery seemed to be exceptionally long and arduous. Along the way, the lush greenery along the roadside flashed past rapidly.
There was a solemn silence in the car, and neither of them wanted to break it.
Wen Xinya thought about everything that she had been through with Si Yiyan in the three years of their relationship, after which she felt a complicated mix of emotions in her heart. At last, she let out a gentle sigh.
She did not initially plan to bring him to see her mother’s grave so soon, but she decided to do so after feeling a strong and sudden urge.
Wen Xinya cocked her head towards the side to look at Si Yiyan, who appeared sullen and unnaturally stiff. Suddenly reminded of something, she snorted with laughter and said, “Si Yiyan, we’re just going to go visit my mother at the cemetery. She passed away long ago. She’s not a menacing beast, you don’t have to be so tensed up.”
Si Yiyan was behaving like a shy daughter-in-law waiting to meet her mother-in-law. He had been able to remain composed despite Old Mr. Mo’s initial disapproval. Yet, he was so jittery and nervous even though they were just going to pay some respects to her late mother.
The thought of it reminded her of the trip to Nantong two years ago, during which Si Yiyan bought her to pay respects to his late father. How did I feel back then?
I think I felt nervous and flustered!
However, she did not feel as anxious as Si Yiyan was now, because their relationship was still ambiguous back then.
Si Yiyan pressed his lips together and said in a gentle voice, “It’s my first time meeting Auntie.”
He looked up at Wen Xinya, who was focused on driving.
He knew that she respected and loved her Mother, so much more than she did Old Mr. Mo.
Throughout the past two years, he would take her along to pay respects to his late parents on their death anniversaries. However, she had never once mentioned taking him to pay respects to her late mother in the past.
Yet, she decided to take him to visit her mother’s grave without warning this time.
His girl had made her vow to stay by his side in times of rich, poor, health and illness, in such a unique manner.
She parked her car in a small walkway along Huaishan Cemetery.
Si Yiyan and Wen Xinya alighted from the car together.
Wen Xinya stood on the long steps and was reminded of the very first time that Old Mr. Mo brought her to visit her mother’s grave. Back then, she was filled with a complicated mix of emotions. But now… she felt light-hearted and very much at peace, staring at Si Yiyan with a faint smile on her lips.
She made her way up the stone stairs.
However, Si Yiyan grabbed her hand all of a sudden and interlocked fingers with her.
Wen Xinya looked down at their hands and tightened her grip.
They promised to be by each other’s side throughout thick and thin, for the rest of their lives until death did them apart!
“Let’s go up!” Si Yiyan exclaimed while taking the lead.
“Sure!” Wen Xinya smiled and followed him.
It was as if the staircase was endless as they walked side by side.
When they stood in front of Mo Yunyao’s grave, they still held each other’s hands tightly.
Wen Xinya stared at her mother’s photo and said, “Mother, I’m here to see you.”
The sounds of the breeze filled the air, sounding melodious like her mother’s tender, humming voice.
Si Yiyan stared at the photo of Mo Yunyao on the tombstone, in which she looked radiant and beautiful with a smile on her lips and an alluring glow in her eyes. She resembled a pretty viburnum flower that was clear like jade.
Wen Xinya took after her mother, be it in terms of appearance or elegance.
Si Yiyan was respectful and grateful towards Mo Yunyao.
Hence, he was extremely nervous when he heard that Wen Xinya was going to take him to visit her mother’s grave. Even though Mo Yunyao had already passed away for several years, he still had a heavy heart and yearned to earn her approval.
Wen Xinya said, “Mother! This is Si Yiyan, the man whom I’m going to marry. I’ve brought him here to visit you today.”
Si Yiyan placed the bouquet of flowers onto the tomb and greeted. “Hello, Auntie! I’m Si Yiyan. I hope that you’ll entrust your daughter to me. I’ll be devoted to her for the rest of my life and never leave her even in times of hardship.”
Si Yiyan held Wen Xinya’s hand tightly, sounding solemn and firm.
Extremely touched by his words, Wen Xinya teared up and said, “Mother! Si Yiyan treats me very well, don’t worry! I’ll be very blissful.”
I’ll be happy with the noble maternal love that you gave me.
Si Yiyan gazed at Wen Xinya with glistening eyes.
Wen Xinya turned red with shyness.
Si Yiyan wiped her tears away gently and said, “If you cry in front of my future mother-in-law, she’s going to have a bad impression of me.”
Wen Xinya sobbed and said, “I’m not crying, there was just some sand in my eye.”
Si Yiyan pulled Wen Xinya into his arms and gave her a surprise kiss.
Wen Xinya instinctively dodged him and said, “Si Yiyan, don’t… how dare you act so brazenly in front of my mother…”
“No, Mother-in-law will be very pleased with me after hearing you sing praises about me. Besides… I believe Mother-in-law will be happy to see how loving we are.” Si Yiyan then smooched her and sucked on her tender lips.
Wen Xinya’s heart fluttered and she was filled with a warm and fuzzy feeling. She had never been able to resist his kisses, even when he was an inexperienced kisser.
He had always been grateful to her for giving him her genuine heart. Hence, he made it a point to love her with all his heart.
