Shi Guang listened to Mo Jin speak in silence while her eyes started misting up.

“The doctor in charge—Doctor Lin—came to look at sister earlier on. Mo Jin, you know… it’s really hard to arrange for Doctor Lin, and if we had to queue up normally, it would take an extremely long time. The reason why he was available to help sister get her operation so quickly was all because of Lu Yanchen.”

“I guessed that when I bumped into him at the nursing home the other day,” Mo Jin was not surprised.

She looked on at Shi Guang. “Two years ago, I was not mature enough either, and lacked consideration in the way I went about doing things. I’m sorry, Shi Guang! Your sister is about to go through with her operation now, and would be awake before long. I won’t’ bother myself in your affairs any longer. We’ll let her be the one to do it.”

Shi Guang walked up and hugged Mo Jin gently.

“Mo Jin, I’m not angry at you, neither am I blaming you. If there is anyone to blame, it would be me. Back when I was courting him, I was so pushy and insistent. Be it whether he was cold faced or icy in his words, I would still stick to him with a thick skin. That was all because the thought of taking revenge on Yang Sitong was harbored in my mind. Even if I had not thought about that after getting together with him, I can’t deny that I had thought about that before. Or perhaps, because I had that thought before, I was always cautious in the way I loved him after that, always feeling as though I owe Lu Yanchen something. It came to a point where even when he broke up with me, I did not dare to question him about it. I hated Yang Sitong for how wicked she was for hurting my sister. But in reality, I was a bad woman too. No matter how much I claim I love Lu Yanchen, I can’t deny the first very intent of my confession to him.”

Mo Jin fondled her head. “But I know that it’s not like that right now … completely not. Even if you once had that thought, to err is human. Wouldn’t everyone have some negative thoughts in their minds at times? And even if you had once thought like that, you had never acted on it, neither did anything bad. That really proves that you care and like Lu Yanchen as well!”

Shi Guang looked ahead with her eyes brimming with tears and murmured, “After getting together with Lu Yanchen, I had not thought about Yang Sitong at all. Back then, I really, really liked him so much! It’s the same now as well. But, I’m afraid that he might still think I harbor thoughts of the past, that I’m using him as a tool for revenge against Yang Sitong. Or perhaps, he’s even willing to just be my tool yet never ever trust for real that I’m in love with him.”

Even though her tears were flowing now, she laughed bitterly, “But, he is THE man that I’ve always wanted to love with all my heart and soul.”

Even Mo Jin felt pained upon listening to her. Her lips curled. “There will come a day when he will finally believe. Don’t get hurried now either. You guys have a lifetime to work with.”

That was right! They did have an entire lifetime to work with. She could spend the rest of her life earning his trust.

And he had never lied to her either.

As she had been waiting for him, he too had been waiting for her.

…

Before leaving the nursing home, Shi Guang received a call from Lu Yanchen, saying that Chu Mubei was inviting her for a meal and the place was even at Yu Palace. That was the place where she had eaten with Lu Yanchen and Xiao Bai the other time.

It was only after then that Shi Guang found out that it was the most famous private club in the entire provincial city. The boss behind the place was a mystery, and there was a high barrier to entry when it came to the members they accepted. It was a place where the rich and famous of the vicinities would flaunt with just the membership rights alone.

Lu Yanchen brought Shi Guang to a private suite and Chu Mubei came forth right away. “Say, Old Lu, you guys are really way too slow.”

Shi Guang raised her brows and rubbed her sharp jaw. “Chu Mubei, I’ve realized that you really love to stick to Lu Yanchen… even more so than me as his legitimate wife. The moment we’re here, you’re already all on him…”

With that said, she then looked at Lu Yanchen and raised her brows as well. “Could you two be…?”
