While Rose was busy with her thoughts, Xie Ming entered the room with sleeping Ben in her arms.
Carefully placing Ben on the bed, Xie Ming sat beside Rose and placed her hand on her shoulder," Are you Okay?"
Giving Xie Ming a weak smile, Rose nodded her head.
" You know something Rose both of us are very lucky." Xie Ming said.
Holding Rose's hand, Xie Ming continued," We have found someone who love us with all their heart and soul. It's very difficult to find someone who can love you the way Quin loves you. I know you've been through a lot and I know it isn't easy for someone to forget something like that but you have to move on. Leave your past behind and live for the present and future."
Placing her hand on Rose's shoulder, Xie Ming said," What Quin did today in the banquet today is a very strong proof of his love for you and for Ben. He is willing to fight against everyone just to be with you. He did not care about his reputation or his status when he saw Ben being bullied by someone. When he is willing to give up everything for you, can't you let go your past for him?" Pausing for a while, she said," Quin wants to give you a better life. He wants to give you all the happiness in world. He wants you to be happy and cherish everyday of your life with him. He wants to give Ben a fathers. He wants to give Ben his name. He is willing to do so many things for you and your happiness and what does he want in return? He wants nothing else but your love and support. If Quin doesn't care about the society or his status than why are holding yourself back from loving him? Why?"
Walking towards the door, Xie Ming said," You've to decide fast. Take a decision untill it's too late. Life is too short for regrets so leave no room for regrets."
As Xie Ming was about to touch the door knob, the door opened and Li Quin entered the room.
" Sister-in-law can you please take Ben with you tonight?" Li Quin said with a serious expression.
Xie Ming gulped when she saw an angry expression on Li Quins face. The cold expression on his face was similar to that of Li Singtan. The usually cheeky Li Quin at this moment was nowhere to be seen.
Xie Ming nodded her head. Walking towards the bed, she picked up Ben in her arms and walked out of the room.
....
As Xie Ming walked outside, Li Quin Iocked the door from inside.
Scanning his eyes all over the room, he saw Rose sitting in a corner.
Walking towards her, Li Quin said," Get up."
Startled by the sudden cold tone, Rose slowly got up and stared at Li Quin.
Li Quin forcefully pulled her towards his chest and wrapped his arms around her and said," Who said that you are dirty? Who said that you are not pure? Who said that you are a disgrace? Who said that you are-" Li Quin's voice choked. In order to suppress his feeling, Li Quin closed his eyes.
Rose knew that he was crying. Tears started flowing down her cheeks. She wrapped her around his waist and gave him a tight hug.
The couple stayed in their embrace for a while and did not say anything.
" What I did today was not because I wanted to rescue Ben. It's because I consider Ben as my own son. I don't care who's son he is and what kind of man his father is. I just know one thing that Ben is your son and that is enough for me to make him mine." Pausing for a while, Li Quin continued," May be you did not like what I did today but let me tell you one thing, whenever I will see someone bullying you and Ben like that I will behave in the same way or may be worse whether you like it or not. I will crush and erase the persons existence from this world if he dares to bully my family members."
" I don't care whether you think that your body is dirty or you are not pure. I also don't care whether you disgust your body or not. I just know one thing that I love you. I love your soul Rose not your body. I want to give you all the happiness in the world. I don't want you to face your past all by yourself. I also want to be a part of it. I will always love you whether you like it or not. I will always protect you and Ben whether you like it or not."
" But it's okay if you don't want to love me back. I understand you have your reasons. I will never force you. It's your choice whether you want to choose my love and move on in life with me or linger around your past. Just remember one thing, I will never ever stop loving you even if I die. I will always be there to protect you and Ben. Whenever you want my help, I'll be there for you." After saying this Li Quin let go off her and started walking towards the room.
When Rose saw Li Quin leave, an uneasy feeling enveloped her. She felt like if she will let him leave today, she will lose him forever. Quickly running towards him, Rose hugged him from back very tightly and shut her eyes.
