Drunk on Marriage, Billionaire's Overindulgent Love-Chapter 698 - 283. [The Dewy Summer] _4

Nan Wan went to the kitchen to get a cup, while Pea climbed upstairs. After Nan Wan poured the milk and carried the glass upstairs, Pea ran up to her and softly said, "Mommy, Aunt seems to be crying."

The bedroom door was ajar, and the sound of a woman’s restrained sobbing came through.

Very low, very low.

There was no one else in this villa, and no pets. If it weren’t so quiet, no one would have heard a thing.

Through the crack in the door, Nan Wan saw the following scene:

The lights were off, and the silvery snow outside the window cast a faint glow, preventing the room from being completely engulfed in darkness.

The person sitting at the head of the bed had their arms wrapped around their knees, their body curled up into a small bundle.

The light was too dim for Nan Wan to see details, and she couldn’t even hear a bit of crying.

Nan Wan held Pea’s hand and led her downstairs. After placing the glass on the table, she squatted in front of Pea and whispered, "An Ge, why don’t you stay here with Aunt tonight?"

Pea shook her head, clung to Nan Wan’s neck, and refused to let go, "Mommy, I’m scared."

The room was dark, pitch black.

She was afraid of the dark.

"This is Aunt’s house, there won’t be any bad people, and Mommy is right downstairs, and Daddy will come too," Nan Wan gently patted Pea’s back. "Aunt is so good to you, she is very sad now and needs company." 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Pea understood a little bit.

Nan Wan kissed her cheek and gently said, "I’ll carry you upstairs. Open the door quietly, and if you’re sleepy, sleep with Aunt."

"...Alright."

...

Pea pushed open the bedroom door and clambered onto the bed, her soft voice tinged with fear, "Aunt, why are you crying?"

Wanxia slowly lifted her head. Her vision was blurry, and Pea’s innocent little face was only a vague outline in her eyes.

As she smiled faintly, tears dripped from her chin onto the back of her hand, "Aunt is a bit sad."

Pea understood what it meant to be sad.

Whenever she cried, Mommy would hold her.

So she slowly inched closer to Wanxia, wrapping her chubby arms around Wanxia and softly comforting, "Hug, don’t cry."

Wanxia was startled for a moment.

She extended her arms and pulled the little one into her embrace.

Although it was Pea’s first time seeing her aunt cry, she quietly thought that her aunt must be someone who cries a lot.

Aunt just held her tightly, tears kept falling silently, as if not after too long, the shoulder of Pea’s sweater was soaked by Aunt’s tears.

It seemed that all the sadness was compressed into this bedroom.

Whenever Aunt cried, Pea couldn’t help but cry along. She didn’t know why she was crying, it just seemed like Aunt was so sad, and that made her feel sad too, as if someone was clutching her heart.

When unhappy, tears would fall.

Before falling asleep, Aunt was crying. After waking up, Aunt was still crying.

From nightfall to daybreak.

Turns out, a person can have so many tears, like a long river that could never run dry.

After the New Year, Jin Sinan started visiting Qing City even more frequently, sometimes twice a week.

He’d arrive in the afternoon, wait outside the Huo Mansion for Wanxia to finish work, and after having dinner, he wouldn’t have much time before he had to catch a plane.

No matter how busy work got, he always made time for his girlfriend. Crossing two cities was like a stroll for him; many people said he was a prodigal son turned loyal partner, and Miss Ji was truly fortunate.

[You are the human April day.]

Huo Yihan and Xu Moyi planned to reschedule their wedding to April. Originally, it was supposed to happen the year before last, but the bride got pregnant, so the date was pushed back.

Last year, Nan Wan’s grandmother passed away, so the wedding didn’t take place.

It got delayed bit by bit until now.

While Xu Moyi was trying on the wedding dress, a phone call broke her good mood, leaving her weak and slumped on the sofa.

Wanxia amusingly asked, "What’s wrong? This dress was designed by your husband himself, don’t you like it?"

"It’s not about the dress," Xu Moyi waved a hand despondently, "The friend who promised to play the piano at the wedding suddenly had something come up and said they can’t make it tomorrow. Where am I supposed to find a replacement this late? Ah, I’m so mad, so unreliable!"

Huo Yihan had suggested hiring a professional team early on, but Xu Moyi was stubborn, thinking her friend played the best.

And now...

Wanxia thought it was something serious, but she had just been stood up, "I have been learning piano since I was five. Although I haven’t touched it much in recent years, I should be able to cover for you. If you don’t mind, shall I help you?"

"Oh my gosh! That’s wonderful!" Xu Moyi immediately beamed and lunged forward, "You’re so versatile, I almost wish I were a man to marry you."

It’s hard to believe that someone with a doll-like face has already become a mother.

Wanxia laughed and pushed the octopus clinging to her arm away, "Then what about Mr. Huo?"

When the certain someone is not around, Xu Moyi dared a lot more, "If I become a man, what would I need him for?"

Wanxia, "..."

————

The weather couldn’t have been better on the wedding day.

In the early spring morning, warm sunlight poured down, and the leaves shimmered with a gentle glow under the sun, the warmth spreading amid the cozy morning light.

Huo Yihan and Xu Moyi’s friends filled the entire hall, from morning till evening, the atmosphere was so lively it could almost lift the roof.

Young people enjoyed the chaos, and as Huo Yihan left with his tender wife, many followed suit in mischief, so not many people were left in the hall.

Wanxia seemed engrossed in playing, one piece after another. Even later, when there were almost no people left, she still sat at the piano, playing the scores lingering in her memory after turning the last page of the sheet music on the piano.

The white dress, her black hair, her expression was as beautiful as the stars, surrounded by a faint halo.

Jin Sinan leaned against a nearby pillar, champagne in hand, watching her intently.

The melody of "River Flows In You," a river flowing into your heart.

The notes flowed out between her fingers, silent, gentle... desolate.

The piano notes abruptly stopped.

When Wanxia fell to the ground, the astonished cries and chaos around her were inaudible, everything seemed to vanish.

In a blurred daze, she seemed to have returned to that distant rainy night.

A streetlight not far away cast a dim light, he was holding a black umbrella, stepping through the night towards her.

Tap... tap... tap...

Step by step, the sound of footsteps was clear.

When those black leather shoes stopped in front, the man’s handsome features became clear, and in his deep eyes, her reflection was mirrored.

With a gentle smile on his lips, his voice low and deep, "Wanwan..."
