Chapter 1163 - 775: If I Say the Wrong Thing, I Might Lose You

He said,

"My name is Yin Shixiu, I’ve liked you for a long time, will you be my girlfriend again?"

Her husband of seven years stood in front of her and said such... unexpected words...

Su Xiaomeng looked at him, his gaze still deep like a night sky without a single star, shining with an amber-colored depth, his eyes no longer held that composure and calm, no longer carried that rationality of having everything under control...

He spoke a little hastily, like a young boy, as if afraid that speaking even slightly slower would cause him to miss something...

The problems she and Yin Shixiu faced might be the same problems that occur between most couples who have been together for a long time... the issue of keeping love fresh.

Su Xiaomeng truly didn’t know how to handle it, she couldn’t easily forgive, effortlessly accept the reality, or freely smile because there was resentment in her heart, because there was grievance, even if that grievance was so affected that she herself disliked it.

But truly ending everything between her and Yin Shixiu... even she felt it wasn’t worth it, she felt it was... absurd.

After more than half a month of arguments and cold wars, while feeling weary, it really deepened her prejudice against love and marriage.

No matter how much others said, it was useless, no one could provide a practical solution to the problems between them, not even her parents.

Couples like her parents, who maintain the same level of affection after so many years, are rare in this world, but their lifestyle and method of keeping love fresh could not be replicated by others.

So... how should they overcome this hurdle?

It seemed Yin Shixiu found the answer first...

"Flowers?"

Su Xiaomeng finally responded to him after what seemed like an eternity of a few seconds.

But her response posed another challenge, because his hands hung empty by his sides, the tailored suit fitting snugly against his shirt, the shirt clinging to his body, unable to conceal anything, no backpack on his side or behind, no gift boxes at his feet...

It was as if she wanted to see more of his panicked expression, his helpless actions, his loss of composure, irrationality, and immature recklessness...

Su Xiaomeng got what she wanted, Yin Shixiu’s face showed a hint of embarrassment, and he awkwardly said, "I came from the company, on the way, I didn’t think of what to say to you, afraid that whatever I said, you still wouldn’t want to hear, and then you’d walk away far away. I had a premonition, if I didn’t say this right now, I might lose you..."

"Flowers... flowers...I, you... give me twenty minutes, no, just ten... eight minutes is fine, wait for me eight minutes, I can surely bring them to you!"

Su Xiaomeng had never seen Yin Shixiu like this, in an instant, she felt like they had returned to the time four or five years ago, where they were most anxious about each other.

He wouldn’t lavish the same market confidence and rationality onto her...

He could reveal to her expressions, reactions, and gestures that were unknown to others...

What exactly did she want him to do? For over a month, she couldn’t figure out an answer, because she stubbornly believed that Yin Shixiu would give a perfect answer.

So when Yin Shixiu repeatedly... still couldn’t deliver that answer, her heart grew colder...

Until this moment, she finally clearly understood, what the answer was.

His concern... wasn’t just words, if he truly cared, she could truly see it!

"Okay, eight minutes. I’ll wait for you."
