Chapter 292 - Then We Get Married
“Does it still ache?” Mu Sifa's gaze brimd with sorrow as he tenderly traced the now-healed scar.
“The pain has subsided,” Shang Cijie replied without divulging the scar's origin. Perhaps he sensed that Mu Sifa had already discerned the truth, considering Mu Sifa's dical expertise.
“It must have been agonizing back then, right?” Mu Sifa leaned down, pressing a gentle kiss upon it, as if seeking to alleviate Shang Cijie's suffering.
Shang Cijie fell silent suddenly, wearing a crestfallen expression. The pain seed palpable, prompting him to display such lancholy.
“It's in the past,” Shang Cijie murmured softly, yet sorrow lingered in his eyes.
“What's the point of telling you now? Of course, it hurt! The agony was unbearable, wishing for the rcy of death. It felt like descending into the depths of hell.”
Though he couldn't see Shang Cijie's face just then, Mu Sifa discerned the anguish in his voice, causing his heart to constrict.
“I'm sorry I wasn't there for you during such a crucial mont, leaving you to face it alone.”
Initially resistant to tears, Shang Cijie's eyes glistened with moisture upon Mu Sifa's apology. Despite the incident occurring four years ago, it seed as though he had yearned for Mu Sifa's contrition.
“Damn you, why did you say that then? Why didn't you co searching for sooner?”
Shang Cijie covered his eyes, weeping as tears stread down his cheeks onto the sheets.
Mu Sifa couldn't reveal the true reason for his actions. It stemd purely from anger at the ti. Disclosing the truth would only deepen Shang Cijie's sorrow.
“I won't utter such words in the future, nor will I allow you to part from . I promise.”
Incapable of explanation, Mu Sifa consoled Shang Cijie with a renewed vow.
“I don't trust you. Whenever I'm absent, I'll be out gathering flowers and herbs. How can I believe your words?”
Shang Cijie couldn't seem to release his grip on Xiangyang, or perhaps he feared a recurrence of another Xiangyang. What if he did let go? Would he face separation from Mu Sifa once more?
“Whenever you're ready, we'll proceed with registering. Do you trust now?”
Mu Sifa's smile exuded warmth. He tenderly kissed away Shang Cijie's tears and caressed his face, expressing his affection.
“Truly?” Shang Cijie, no longer in tears, withdrew his hand to gaze at Mu Sifa, appearing adorable despite his sniffling.
“Absolutely. How could registering be a jest? Henceforth, you'll be the Third Young Mada of the Mu Family.” Ye Zichen wiped the tears from Shang Cijie's eyes with a finger, imparting a sense of warmth to his heart.
However, Shang Cijie suddenly regained his composure and admonished, “You're deceiving . You're fully aware I returned for vengeance, yet you propose registration. Why are you so composed?”
He assud he wouldn't be detected, yet the response was swift.
“Don't you realize it's simpler to exact revenge after marrying ? See, it constrains my actions and regulates my life entirely, doesn't it?”
Mu Sifa presented a serious scenario to Shang Cijie, but essentially, only a spouse would resort to such asures! It was evident he was employing an alternative approach to understanding Shang Cijie.
“Do you truly believe I'm that naive? Is it so effortless to dupe ?”
“You dare to feed such lines, but that's alright. Who's intimidated by whom!”
“Fantastic! Then let's proceed with registering your pass!”
