When Love Turns the Tables: The Mysterious Husband's Chase-Chapter 643: So It Was You (3)
"I have something to tell you tonight as well."
Tang Yanqi didn’t directly answer Sheng Jianan’s question. Instead, she turned around, grabbed her bag from the sofa, ignored the bewildered look in Sheng Jiayu’s eyes, and took out that book from her bag.
Those who knew about the book were all taken aback, and even Sheng Jianan’s own brows furrowed imperceptibly.
Although He didn’t know where Tang Yanqi had found the book, He didn’t want any more misunderstandings because of it. He was about to explain when Tang Yanqi suddenly pressed her fingers against his lips.
The woman’s soft fingers pressed against the man’s lips, preventing him from speaking.
Tang Yanqi smiled, her eyes curving into crescents, her lips red and teeth white, and began speaking slowly: "I’ll tell you a story."
She said this, retracted her hand, and began telling the story—
"Once upon a time, there was a girl. When she was six years old, her mother had a car accident, and then her father, whom she had never seen, suddenly appeared, took her to a big house, and told her this would be her home from then on. Her father was very busy and cold towards her. There was also a woman in the big house, the girl’s stepmother. Just like in fairy tales, the stepmother often beat and scolded the girl, and she had no one to talk to, so she silently endured.
Later, the stepmother got pregnant and gave birth to a boy. The family valued this child greatly. During the child’s full-month celebration, they invited many, many people. It was then that the girl saw a boy whose smile was like the most dazzling sunlight shining into the girl’s heart. She didn’t know who he was, only that he was very good-looking.
Fate can be strange at times. A few years later, the girl met the boy again, but his smiling eyes had lost their light. The girl discovered that the boy could no longer see. The boy who had once brought him sunshine had become irritable. The girl wanted to see him, so she climbed the big tree next to his house. Through the window, she saw the boy fiercely throw the food people brought him onto the ground. He wanted to stand up, wanted to walk. There was nothing in front of him, yet he still fell.
The girl was an illegitimate child who couldn’t be seen in the light. She knew that the boy was a wealthy young master; they were people from different worlds. But now the boy could not see, and she felt she had the slightest qualification to be by his side. The large branch of the tree reached directly onto the balcony of the boy’s room on the second floor. The girl climbed in from there, accompanied him for meals, watched him lose his temper. She wanted to console him but feared that once he knew who she was, he would disdain her for her shadowy status, so she just stayed there quietly.
That summer was the happiest summer for the girl. The boy’s temperament gradually improved, and he would occasionally say a few words to her. Later, the girl learned that the boy was going to have surgery. After the operation, he would be able to see. The girl knew her happy days were coming to an end. Before she left, the boy asked her name. She didn’t say anything, only left a book behind.
The girl thought she would never intersect with that boy again in her life, but she didn’t expect that the book would be kept so well by the boy."
After Tang Yanqi finished speaking, she placed the book she was holding in front of Sheng Jianan, her eyes were red, and tears rolled down her cheeks. An intense silence filled the air, with Mu Ke and Gu Yang clueless, while everyone else widened their eyes.
