Chapter 145: Chapter 144: Heart Bursts With Joy
"Wanxin, you’re an outstanding girl, and you’ll find a man better than . I don’t deserve your love!" Ye Fan said. He picked up his coat, ready to turn around and leave.
However, at that mont, Mu Wanxin rushed up and hugged him from behind, catching him completely off guard. Could it be? After all the secrets he had shared, she still wouldn’t give up? If so, she really was a girl of the utmost innocence.
Mu Wanxin sobbed, "I don’t care! If they can be a part of your life, why can’t I?"
Once those words were spoken, there was no turning back. She had made up her mind to follow Ye Fan. Even if she couldn’t have any official status, what did it matter? That was just how the world worked. As a pure-hearted woman, even a small act of kindness from Ye Fan could move her to tears. This was especially true since he had also given her guidance that changed the course of her life. No wonder she had fallen so hopelessly in love with him.
"Wanxin, you’re exhausted. You need to rest. Let’s talk after you’ve gotten so sleep, okay?" Ye Fan said hurriedly.
But Mu Wanxin refused. "No. I want to be your woman, right now!"
Then, she passionately kissed him. Being nearly as tall as Ye Fan, she didn’t even need to stand on her toes.
For a mont, Ye Fan wanted to push her away, but he stopped himself. He realized that rejecting her now would be the cruelest thing he could do. So, he returned her kiss with equal passion. The entire room filled with a tender atmosphere, at once both intimate and warm—a private space that belonged only to the two of them.
Mu Wanxin’s foot slipped, and she tumbled onto the sofa. With her hands still hooked around his neck, the montum pulled Ye Fan down on top of her. In that instant, their eyes t. The situation might have been awkward, but they felt no embarrassnt. Perhaps this was the true state of love—once it reached a certain level, it could dissolve anything.
Mu Wanxin imdiately kissed him again. In giving herself completely to a man, a thousand thoughts raced through her mind. She was not a promiscuous girl by any ans. But in that mont, she pushed them all aside. Her instincts and the frantic beating of her heart told her this was worth it. Even if she ended up scarred and broken, she would have no regrets. It had to be said, Mu Wanxin’s legs were incredibly long. As a leggy beauty, the sight of them alone was enough to send Ye Fan’s imagination running wild. Swept up in the raw emotion of the mont, Mu Wanxin beca his woman.
Even Ye Fan found it all a bit surreal. Everything had happened so fast that it felt as if both he and Mu Wanxin were living in a dream. But this was no dream; it was all real. And if it were a dream, Ye Fan thought, it would be an exceptionally beautiful one. For Mu Wanxin, this mont held imnse significance. She had just entrusted her entire being to him.
Ye Fan was, without a doubt, the man most worthy of her trust. She didn’t regret her decision for a second. Even if it had been an impulsive act, she would still feel the sa—but Mu Wanxin didn’t believe it was impulsive at all. From beginning to end, her actions felt perfectly rational.
She knew that she now had a place to belong. Perhaps she would never have an official title, but she truly didn’t care. She was an independent woman. Ye Fan gently stroked her lovely long hair. Although she was exhausted, Mu Wanxin lay blissfully in his arms. If only this mont could last forever. For her, it was enough to just be by his side, silently supporting him for the rest of her life.
"Can I call you husband?" she asked. Just calling him by his na felt too distant. As a woman deeply moved by everything he had done, she craved sothing more definitive.
"Of course you can, wife!" Ye Fan replied.
His single word, ’wife,’ made Mu Wanxin’s heart swell with joy. She savored the sweet mont, lying quietly in his arms after her bath. Today had been a montous day for her.
"What about your family?" Ye Fan asked.
The ntion of family brought tears to the corners of Mu Wanxin’s eyes. Ye Fan cursed himself for his tactlessness; he had clearly touched upon a painful subject. Just as he was about to apologize, she said, "I don’t have a family."
"Why?" Ye Fan’s curiosity deepened. How could she not have a family? Is she an orphan? That seems unlikely.
"My ho is in a southern mountain village, over two thousand li from Jiangning," she explained, her voice thick with emotion. "My father passed away from an illness when I was young.
"My mother remarried a man who beca my stepfather, but he was consud by gambling. It was as if betting was the only thing that mattered to him.
"Because of his addiction, he gambled away everything our family owned. I had to drop out of school at the age of fourteen. Eventually, his debts piled so high that he planned to sell
to a casino to pay them off.
"My mother sent
away from the village in the middle of the night. I ca to Jiangning all by myself, found work, and put myself through school. I’ve never been back since.
"My mother told
to never, ever go back!"
By the end of her story, Mu Wanxin was sobbing.
Ye Fan quickly pulled her into his embrace. I used to think my childhood was the most pitiful in the world, but hers was just as tragic. He had often wanted to scream at the heavens and ask why they were so unfair. But as he had grown older, he’d co to understand that the universe had its own balance. For everything you lose, you eventually gain sothing in return. He held her for a mont before asking gently, "Do you miss your ho?"
"Mmm," she mumbled into his chest. "I miss my mother so much. It’s been so many years... I just wonder if she’s doing okay." Her voice was filled with a mix of sadness and hopelessness.
"Then I’ll go back with you for a visit," Ye Fan declared. "Don’t worry. As long as I’m with you, no one can hurt you."
Mu Wanxin looked up at him. "Husband... I trust you. This is a part of my past I never wanted to revisit. If it wasn’t for you, I don’t think I would have ever considered going back."
"Don’t worry," Ye Fan said with a warm smile. "I will always protect you."
To Mu Wanxin, that smile was the warst thing in the world. In him, she saw unparalleled confidence and genuine care.
"Husband, I’ll go to the company tomorrow to ask for ti off," she said.
Ye Fan chuckled. "There’s no need. That’s sothing I can handle with a single sentence. You just stay here and pack your things. We’ll set off tomorrow."
"Mmm!" Mu Wanxin nodded obediently. Beside Ye Fan, she felt an unparalleled sense of security. Perhaps this was love.
