Chapter 20: Forgive

The Xu family’s courtyard was decades old, and had been renovated several times since then, but it still retained the old feeling with the moldy bricks and moss.

After Xu Wei was caught and educated by her grandma for a long time, she walked outside after dinner and didn’t mention going home.

There was a small pavilion in the wooded backyard of the Xu family villa, with a swing set next to it. You could see the blazing golden sun struggling not to descend to the sea.

The orange light shone on her face, the halo  almost burning the eyes. Shizhou’s eyes turned teal as he stood by the entrance. He cocked his head and looked beside him. Grandma Xu moved her chin before going back inside.

Standing quietly behind the swing, he stood. Xu Wei turned to him and smiled, it was a moment of tenderness. “Please push me.”

The white hem of her dress brushed against her flawless calves, and the orange light highlighted it. His eyes stared and paused for a second.

Xu Wei swung her feet up just like she used to do when she was a kid and she played with Wan Lijue. She laughed, “When I was in high school, this was my favorite place, and it used to be Wan Lijue who played with me.”

His movements slightly paused, and it felt like something pricked the tip of his heart. Deep in his eyes, there was jealousy. He lowered them, and the hair on his forehead covered them. No one could see his expression.

Grandmother Xu was frustrated by these two. “Why don’t you stay here first, to save you from making several trips a day?”

“No, I have work to do.”

If he started living here with Xu Wei, it would take longer for her to go home. Grandma Xu watched his grandson-in-law’s back slowly disappear by the door. She wanted to have a good talk with Wei Wei.

She was worried about the two of them, and was about to go upstairs. The housekeeper ran in a panic, alarmed, “Aiya, something has happened to Shizhou.”

She opened the gate leading to the road, but she didn’t know what happened because Yu Shizhou’s car slammed into the gate post. It had suddenly lost control, and the front even dented.

Xu Wei was upstairs when she heard the commotion and when she came out, the housekeeper had already gone to save Shizhou, so she followed him to the hospital. She found out that Yu Shizhou had a high fever, was unconscious and was driving fatigued.

After the night of tossing and turning, she finally woke up, then she carried the soup she made at home to the hospital. She was ready to open the door to his hospital room when she heard a familiar voice. “Xu Wei was too much, she went home for a few days, but she also had you pick her up from home to work and drop her home after. Your body couldn’t take it, ah.”

Xu Wei’s eyebrow’s rose, and she was about to go in, but someone reacted faster. “I let her go back and stay with her family. We have something to prepare.”

“You can’t do that even if you have something to do, look how tired you are. You still have a fever,” Su Jing continued.

When Su Jing and Yu Shizhou’s mother saw her come in, neither said anything. Xu Wei put the thermos bucket on the side table, and gave Yu Shizhou a bowl. She was a bit guilty.

Yu Shizhou sat on the bed, his face was bloodless, looking pale. But the blue and black color under his eyes was a little better. When he saw her, he smiled. Xu Wei called out to her mother-in-law, who smiled and nodded, as if there wasn’t any problem.

Su Jing was about to say something when Yu Shizhou swept a cold eye over her and said in a low voice, “Thank you for coming over, you can go back first if you have nothing to do. It will delay your work.”

Su Jing frowned. “What are you talking about, our friendship delayed what work? What does it matter if I quit because of you, you take care of yourself, don’t worry about me.”

“Xu Wei, what’s wrong with you two? You can’t talk about anything calmly. You have to fight like this, causing Shizhou to be sent to the hospital.”

Su Jing attacked Xu Wei under the guise of protecting Yu Shizhou’s interests and as a sister. Xu  Wei had thought it was alright to be blamed by Yu Shizhou’s family as  she had tormented him a bit. But when it was Su Jing who spoke about this, she was uncomfortable.

Xu Wei replied, “Did you see us fight? You seem so sure that I caused Shizhou’s illness. So if anyone who eats grains and cereals gets sick, is it my fault, too?”

She didn’t have a good temper, and Su Jing’s accusatory tone fueled her anger. If it was before, she would have ignored it, she didn’t care about Wan Lijue anymore. But Yu Shizhou’s mother was here.

Su Jing was also trying to hold herself back from getting involved with the two of them. But Mother Yu must want to know what was going on between the two of them.

Yu Shizhou grabbed Xu Wei gently, he pulled her over to sit beside him. He looked at his mom and said, “Mom, I’m we’re preparing for Wei Wei’s pregnancy. The doctor explained some things, so we both live separately.”

Pregnancy preparation was pregnancy preparation. There was no need for them to live in separate homes. But there was a saying that too much s*x would lead to a not so good  pregnancy.

The younger generation didn’t understand this, but Mother Yu did. Her face turned red, and she didn’t know what to say.

Su Jing pursed her lips and looked at Yu Shizhou. It was clear that when she went to look for him some time ago, she found out that he and Xu Wei were at odds and that Xu Wei had left in anger and gone back to her mother’s house.

He was only saying this to cover up for her. Su Jing went silent for a moment, and when she felt Yu Shizhou’s cold gaze, she was also a little disheartened.

Xu Wei’s face was already completely red, but looking at Mother Yu’s happy face, she was too thin-skinned to say anything in rebuttal.

After sending Su Jing and Mother Yu out of the hospital, Xu Wei came back. Yu Shizhou was drinking his soup and smiled warmly at her. “Thank you.”

Xu Wei was uncomfortable and muttered, “Thank me for what?”

She actually knew what he was talking about, and she behaved quite well in front of Mother Yu. To this mother-in-law, she came from a wealthy family but didn’t have the slightest hint of a condescending nature.

When they first got married, Yu Shizhou’s parents were actually quite afraid that Xu Wei would not be easy to serve and that Yu Shizhou would be stifled for the rest of his life. However, after they got married, Xu Wei was particularly nice and good to the two old people.

Mother Yu liked her very much and Yu Shizhou had never seen the in-law problems that plagued so many men. Because there was a mother who loved him and a daughter-in-law who, although she did not love him, was of excellent character and virtue.

“It’s not for you.”

Xu Wei had been a good judge of character since she was a child, and was able to speak and act in the most accurate manner. She got along well with Yu Shizhou’s parents, but only for her own comfort.

Yu Shizhou leaned his face on her shoulder, and tiredly said, “Forgive me, please. I’ll never be a jerk again. I really don’t dare, I can’t eat or sleep well these days without you, you can punish me when we go home, okay?”

Because he apologized to her, she lost all the coldness she felt. Every time he apologized, his voice was low, magnetic, and pitiful. Xu Wei’s ears tingled as she listened, and she couldn’t help but reach out to rub them.

Grabbing the tips of her fingers, he brought them to his lips. His dark eyes gazed earnestly at her, as innocent as they could be. Xu Wei touched his forehead, checking his temperature and said, ”Okay. I’ll go back to our house and see how you behave.”
