"Mother, when did you fall in love with father?"
He Lin could understand the turmoil in the heart of her daughter. She didn't ask her the reason for this sudden question. She thought for soti before replying, "I guess, I fell for him the mont he had said yes for the marriage."
Xin i looked at her mother who was lost in her mories. There was a unique smile on her lips which she had never seen before. Her mother looked calm and very happy.
"When my parents inford that a prospective groom was coming to see for my hand, I had protested. I didn't want to see any groom and I didn't want to get married, just like you."
"When he ca to see , I talked very rudely to him. I lied to him that I had a boyfriend, I drink and smoke, so I thought he would say no to but…"
"He said yes," Xin i interrupted her.
"Yup, he said yes. When I asked him for a reason, he replied that he had seen lies in my eyes. He looked into my eyes and he knew that I was the best for him. He invited for a private chat where we talked.... we talked for hours. He asked the reason why I was against the marriage.
And he took away all my hesitations."
"Your father was good to just like Su Yuchen." He Lin smiled and looked at Xin i. "Xin i, I know you are arranged to marry him and feel hesitant about moving forward with him."
"You are right, Mother. Sotis, I feel so confused." Xin i sighed. "I feel afraid of my feelings towards him. I want to move forward with him but I am afraid that I am moving too fast. It's only been sixteen days since we married but I have started to feel strongly for him. Sotis, I feel suffocated by my feelings."
"It's natural my daughter." He Lin smiled and pulled her cheeks. "Your heart knows that you are to spend the rest of your life with him. So, you have generated feelings for him. You are slowly giving your heart to your husband. You should not keep your feelings in your heart. Do whatever your heart desires.
If you want to kiss him then kiss him, ogle him during late at night then ogle at him, miss him then miss him. Do whatever you want."
Xin i smiled when she heard her mother. Both mother and daughter talked for a long ti. Xin i felt very relaxed when she talked to her mother. It was like a burden lifted off her heart.
In between their talks, Xin i and He Lin prepared their lunch. Both of them had their fun cooking together. After lunch, they talked for so ti again.
"Mother, I should go now." Xin i inford her mother.
"Ok kiddo if there is anything in your heart then you can talk to ." He Lin patted the back of her daughter. Xin i wrapped her arms around her mother in a parting hug.
They both walked towards the pathway where Xin i took her seat in her car.
"Xin i," He Lin leaned down and looked at her daughter from the glass of the car. "As a mother, I will advise you Xin i; don't stop your heart from what it wants to do. Let it go free. Instead of avoiding your feelings for Su Yuchen, let your heart explore them."
Xin i nodded to her mother before driving the car, away from her mother. She had decided that she wasn't going to stop her heart!

Xin i was making her way back ho. All of a sudden, she rembered that the hospital where Bai Yue was staying ca in the way. So she decided to et Bai Yue before making her way back ho.
"Grandma..." She greeted Bai Yue with a grin on her face.
"Xin i." Bai Yue also grinned when she saw Xin i. "Co here, co here. Take a seat beside grandma. Husband, make so place for my granddaughter."
Bai Yue pushed away her poor husband to make space for Xin i. Su Lingtian looked at his grinning wife and shook his head. His wife liked Xin i very much.
"Tell sothing about your married life." Bai Yue asked. There was a happy glint in her eyes. "Is my boy taking good care of you? If not, then you can complain to . I will send Tian to pull his ears."
"You don't need to do sothing like this grandma. Su Yuchen is taking good care of ." Xin i replied with a smile on her lips.
"And where has he taken you for a honeymoon?" Xin i looked at Bai Yue with wide eyes. "What? Don't tell you haven't gone on a honeymoon yet! Tian, isn't your boy too slow?"
Bai Yue looked at her husband with complaining eyes.
"Let call him and scold him for you." Su Lingtian looked at his wife with a doting smile. He pulled out his phone from his pocket and was about to dial the number of Su Yuchen when Xin i stopped him.
"Don't call him grandpa. It was my decision not to go for a honeymoon." She turned towards Bai Yue and looked at her with a guilty smile. "Grandma, you know about my work. It will be a big scandal if everyone got to know about our marriage. So we have decided to keep our marriage hidden. We can't go on a honeymoon."
"Why can't you go to a honeymoon? Hidden marriage isn't an excuse," Bai Yue rebuked. "He could have taken you to so of our private property. No one would have found out about you there."
"Wife, calm down, don't yell." Su Lingtian patted on the back of his angry wife. "Xin i, Bai Yue is right, Su Yuchen could have taken you anywhere for honeymoon. He could have taken you to our private island. There you could have enjoyed the beautiful scenery and spent so private ti together."
"Grandpa, you have a private island?" she asked with a surprise.
"Yup, yup, husband gifted it to on our twenty-fifth wedding anniversary," Bai Yue grinned. "It is very beautiful. You will love the natural beauty of that island. You should visit there."
"Ok, I will talk with Su Yuchen. We will visit there once we have the ti." Xin i decided to end the honeymoon topic conversation. She had started to feel quite awkward when talking about the honeymoon. "Grandma, please tell , how is your health?"
"I am as healthy as a horse." Bai Yue grinned. "Doctors had already started to prepare for the heart transplant. The trust appointed by you is working hard to find a matching heart for ."
Su Lingtian took Xin i's hand into his and looked at her with gratitude eyes. "It's all because of you that they are working hard to find a heart for my wife."
Xin i nodded her head and looked at Bai Yue again.
"Xin i," Bai Yue took her hand into hers and looked at her with gratitude. "Thank you for marrying my Chen. I am so happy and feeling free because of you. Chen had suffered from his childhood. Do you know that he had spent his childhood in an orphanage?"
Xin i nodded her head. Bai Yue looked at her with a sad and teary smile. She tightened her grip on Xin i's hand.
"He was fourteen when we first t him. He was so lonely. He only knew one girl. My Chen didn't have a happy childhood life like others. He had suffered a lot."
"When we brought him ho, he wasn't ready to talk to any of us, except for his cousin brother. It took a long ti to make my place in his heart. I knew he was lonely and he wanted a family to love him. And now he sees this family in you. Please give him the needed family."
Voice of Bai Yue turned hoarse and she looked at Xin i with pained eyes. Her heart ache when she thought about his past. Tears were flowing from her eyes. Xin i felt pain in her heart when she saw the crying Bai Yue.
"When he ca to visit , I had seen a fondness for you in his eyes. I could see that he wanted to have a family with you. Please...."
"Grandma," Xin i cut her off. She wiped off her tears. "Don't worry, Grandma; I will give a family to Su Yuchen. I am his family and he is my family."
Bai Yue took a deep breath in relaxation and kissed on the forehead of Xin i.
Now she could die in peace!
