Chapter 758: A Lifeti of Care
Butler Li was arranging the lilies in the ward when he heard her say this. He paused and his lips twitched as he could not help but turn around.
He remained silent. On the other hand, Ding ngya did not expect him to hear her ramble, but she continued saying, “Sigh, I’m really too good at this. I just find acting a little tiring. You may not know this, but I have to keep clearing my mind of thoughts and put on a dazed expression. Just from this expression alone, I think I can make a debut in the entertainnt scene. Although I might be late to the ga, many people still beco famous when they are older, right? Oh yes, you must let Zhengting know of my hard work. Tell him how many sacrifices his mother has made for him. I’ve really devoted all my energy into duping Mi Nuo. I...”
Butler Li could not stand her rambling anymore, so he interrupted her, “Madam, Sir said that sothing like mory loss might be too fake. Pretending to be a vegetable is the best, but you insisted on doing sothing challenging...”
Pretending to be a vegetable indeed did not require any skills. However, if she really pretended to be a vegetable, she would have to lie in the bed all day lest she was seen or photographed by soone. Wouldn’t that bore her to death?
Ding ngya pursed her lips and continued, “Okay, okay. We clearly have a closer relationship, but why do you always speak for your Sir?”
Butler Li: “...”
Butler Li smiled at her lovingly before shaking his head. Turning around, he continued trimming the flowers.
Ding ngya watched him. The sunlight shone in through the window and enveloped him, causing his profile to give off a gentle sheen.
Ti seed to have stopped for Butler Li. Even after all these years, he still looked the sa as before. His face was free of any imperfections. Other than the fact that his skin was indeed sagging a little, nothing much had changed.
She had been divorced for more than 20 years.
He had been single for his entire life.
She suddenly recalled their younger days. He had made a promise to her. When he found out that she was getting married, he swallowed everything he had wanted to say and only said, “Miss, I will be with you no matter where you go. I will always care for you.”
With that, he cared for her quietly for 30 years.
As Ding ngya thought of this, lancholy flashed across her eyes.
She took in a deep breath. Butler Li turned around and looked at her. “Madam, what’s wrong?”
Ding ngya shook her head and smiled. “Nothing. I just thought about how long it has been since you called Miss.”
Taken aback, Butler Li smiled.
He also started reminiscing about the past. He had followed Ding ngya to Beijing. When Ding ngya married into the Si family, he had stubbornly stuck with his old habits and addressed her as Miss. Until one day, her ex-husband, Si Zhengting’s dad, could not take it anymore and criticized him. “Since she married into the Si family, you should follow the Si family’s appellation. There is no one of a higher seniority than I do, so you should address ngya as Madam.”
Of course, he was stunned.
He had always wanted to be the only one caring for Ding ngya by her side. However, he had realized that, sotis, his care was unnecessary only in that mont.
Since then, he had addressed her as Madam. After that, he started working in the Imperial Group and beca distant from the Si family. Until the many things that unfolded later on...
The two of them seed to have thought of the past. This ti, Ding ngya had been on the brink of death. Butler Li suddenly realized how terrified he was. Hence, after Ding ngya had woken up, he dropped the formalities with her. He suddenly wondered about how many years one can live.
