*****
Song Weiying was waiting for Yang Xiuming to tell her the reason for Yang Xinran's mother's death but instead of hearing that . She was currently hearing about the love story and the past of both husband and wife .
It keeps getting longer and longer and longer . Occasionally she saw a smile form on his face , sometimes she saw a frown and a sad expression on his face .
Nevertheless , she forced herself to hear about it since she's currently Yang Xinran now .
Deep in her heart , she actually envied Yang Xinran a little . No , maybe much more than a little . Her parents journey might be rough but at the end of the day , Yang Xinran was enveloped in a warm and a loving family .
Meanwhile the rich and strong Song Weiying ? She had underlings , she had big projects , an entourage of people trying to please her .
But love ?
She never had a single drop of that thing .
The voice beside her stopped for some reason and she turn her head towards him just to see that he's currently watching her with a sad but warm eyes .
She doesn't want to be enveloped with that eyes . She doesn't want to know what those eyes means . Thus , she cut his story with a straight question .
" So , how does she died ? " She asked with a slow voice .
Yang Xiuming smiled while holding her hands . Again .
" ..... Your mother took care of you until you turns 5 year old healthily and prettily . Your mother was full with affection for both of you and your brother . While she had a weak health , she indulged and doted both of you so much so that I always had to snatch her time with my own children . It was pretty funny at the time . "
" Well , even if you had your memories , you might not remember your mother's face anymore .... since she died ... when you was 5 . " His voice turn somber all of a sudden and Song Weiying had to pretend she didn't notice it but her heart actually hurts looking at him .
She annoyingly blame Yang Xinran's heart again .
' Can you stop being hurt ?! When I was Song Weiying , I had never had such an embarrassing experience crying like a baby . I even loathed crying ! It's not even been that long living with this body and I already had several embarrassing moments of crying ! Damn you , Yang Xinran !! '
" Hmm , Let's just say that god loved her more than us . " Yang Xiuming said with a sad smile .
" Huh ? " Did he think she was a small child by giving the reason of god loved her more ?
Yang Xiuming just looked at his daughter with a slight smile . He caressed her head and told her to finish eating before he gets ready to go to work .
All of a sudden , only Yang Xinran was left there . She only had a blank look before she realize Yang Xiuming run away before really answering her question !
' Tsk , it really left a bitter taste after someone told you the whole story but left the important part in it . '
Yang Xinran had no choice but to wait for another chance to ask about the original owner's mother . Since she's currently the Yang Xinran , she had the right to know too .
...
Yang Xiuming went back to his room in his melancholy state . He sit down on the edge of the bed beside the small table . He look at the frame picture of his entire family with his late wife widely smiling holding their daughter .
Sigh ...
" Wife , did you see how much our daughter has grown ? It's a miracle she survived even if she didn't remember me nor you .. nor any of us .. Maybe it was for the better .. She could forget about every misfortune that befalls her .. "
He stroked her face on the frame picture with a sad smile .
" I didn't have a heart to tell her what really happen back then . The doctor told us to not burden her so much with all the information to make her remember . It will take a toll on her body and mind . It's okay for me .. I guess .. Probably god gives her some time to rest , gives her second chance to be happy . I couldn't probably live with the thought of my only daughter resented to live in this world .. "
"I could imagine our son get mad once he knows his only sister forgot about him . I'm sorry for evading her question about you .. She should know she had an amazing mother to begin with .. A mother who could sacrifice everything for her daughter .. But I .. I'm not that strong to see my daughter cry when she once again knows you're gone partly because of her .. "
" Let's just take our time okay .. ? Please watch over her and make sure she's happy this time .. I will always love you , darling .. "
He kissed the frame imagining his late wife was really there , embracing him and saying she loved him too .
He has already lose his loved one , his eternal love , his wife . He failed before , terribly ..
So , he would do his best to protect his family from now onwards until forever ..
That's the promise he wished he would kept until forever ..
