But now, after listening to the conversation between Mo Shian and Gu Yan, she could already guess that Mo Shian had asked Aunt Wu to lie and say that. He didn't want her to know he had been there because he didn't want to upset her.
In her previous life, she had only woken up after Mo Shian left and never knew how he had risked such an important partnership just to stay with her. When he came home that night, she had accused him of being neglectful and asked for a divorce. It was the night everything went to the dogs. Weiwei could not believe her stupidity. When Mo Shian protected her with his life in their previous life, she had realized how much he loved her, but listening to him say that nothing was more important than her and that he loved her more than his own life, let her understand just how much she meant to him. It was a pity she had not seen all that in their previous life and believed the lies told by Xinya. She could not help but shed tears when she remembered everything she had put her husband through. Luckily, they had another chance and she would use it to prove just how much she loved him. She would keep the promise of love she had made as she jumped off that cliff. She would love him with every beat of her heart and more.
Xia Weiwei opened her eyes and surveyed her surroundings. She was lying on a queen-sized bed made of rosewood with carvings of a dragon and a phoenix engraved on the headboard. It was her matrimonial bed. She had once asked Mo Shian what those carvings meant, and he had replied with a smile.
"I am a dragon and you are a phoenix. We will soar in the skies together and rule the world as one. Then, when we have a daughter, she will ride on the back of the dragon and I will protect her, the same way I would protect her mother."
Xia Weiwei had laughed and called him silly, but now, she understood his meaning, he was born to be a dragon and rule. He had already ruled the business world by the time of his death. He had become the wealthiest man in the country and had leaders and other businessmen falling over themselves to carry favor with him. She had been his only setback. His only failure. Even though, judging by his dying words in their previous life, he did not consider her a failure but his biggest success. In this life, she will make his opinion true. She would become the best thing in his life.
Weiwei continued to survey the room. It was decorated in a mixture of modern and Victorian styles. She had moved into this villa after their wedding six months ago. They had a few blissful months. They had made love in almost every corner of the room before she started listening to Xinya's incitement and ruined everything. There was a dressing table that Mo Shian had imported from Europe with a mirror shaped like an egg. It was framed using a shiny material that Weiwei could never tell what it was and where it came from. Next to the dressing table was a door made of frosty glass which led to the bathroom. The bathroom was so spacious it could fit the entire bedroom she had at the Xia mansion. There was a grey leather sofa near the French window that had started many of their lovemaking sessions before.
Then on the other side, there was a red button. The first time Weiwei had seen it she had thought it would open a safe when pressed, so she had pressed it only to see the entire wall start moving. She had been so shocked that her jaw would have been picked up from the ground if it wasn't for Mo Shian who had been standing right beside her. It was a built-in closet and it was so big it could fit an entire clothes shop. They had shared it for the first few months of their marriage until Mo Shian moved to the guestroom. Most of his belongings were still there. It just showed how much hope he had of coming back to sleep in the same room with his wife. Unfortunately, the status quo had remained for years in their previous lives.
That was the first thing that had to change in this life. Weiwei got up and headed to the bathroom to take a shower. Gu Yan wasn't kidding when he praised his medicine to the high heavens. It worked like a miracle. Her fever was gone and so was the splitting headache. She just felt sticky due to sweat. After entering the bathroom, the first thing she did was go and stand in front of the mirror. She looked at her face, which was full of youth and still had some baby fat. Even though over the years she did not change much in her previous life, she had still been twenty-four when she died. Right now, her body was that of a nineteen-year-old who had not experienced too much heartbreak or drunk too much alcohol to drown her sorrows. She was still young and extremely deserving of her title of 'The Queen of Beauties' at the university.
Yes, Weiwei just remembered that she was supposed to be a freshman at Capital University studying jewelry design this year. She loved designing jewelry and wanted to be the best in the world, but she had not fulfilled her dream in her previous life as she had just lazed around after graduation even after she graduated top of her class.
Thanks to listening to bad advice from her so-called sister, Xinya, who had told her she didn't need to waste her time working when Mo Shian was already doing that. She should just enjoy her life and spend the money he made by being the CEO of Mo Corporation.
