Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family-Chapter 1078 - 1077: Can I take care of you?

It seemed as if she had detected that familiar aura; Liu Sisi stirred slightly and turned towards the outside, ending up even closer to Di Yelei.

Di Yelei was so startled that he bolted upright!

He stared intently at the silhouette, not daring to blink.

Only after a while did he stretch out a hand, gently poked Liu Sisi’s cheek, and quickly retracted his hand.

It was her!

It really was Sisi!

Joy flooded over him, and he couldn’t help but wrap his arms around her, along with the quilt, and refused to let go.

Liu Sisi woke up the moment she was constricted by his embrace!

First, her body froze; then, realizing that the person holding her was Di Yelei, she relaxed completely and let him hold her.

"Sisi, Sisi... you shouldn’t do this, do you understand? Don’t scare me like this every time! I’m just one person, just an ordinary man. I can feel afraid, I can worry, I can be lost, and I’m also very concerned. I’m scared of losing you, worried about your wellbeing now, lost that you might leave with someone else and I would lose you, even more worried that you would go and never return. What would I and the children do..."

His voice shook terribly, and his whole body trembled violently, holding onto Liu Sisi through the quilt, not daring to let go.

Listening to him, Liu Sisi felt incredibly heartbroken.

The man in front of her had never revealed these feelings to her; every time he appeared before her, he always looked like a tough man.

Turns out, once he stripped away those disguises, he was still the same person he had been initially!

It was as if they had returned to the year they first met, with the man in front of her expressing his emotions in tearful words, repeating them over and over.

It wasn’t sweet talk, but it moved Liu Sisi’s heartstrings far more than any sweet words ever could.

"Ye Lei, I’m sorry! I really am sorry, I didn’t mean to..."

She couldn’t help but cry, trying to hug him back, but he held her tightly, making her unable to move.

She really hadn’t meant to...

"Sisi, do you understand? I can’t lose you. Every time I see you with Zuo Xingyu, it feels like a blunt knife is being twisted in my heart. It’s slowly cutting, and my heart is bleeding... I don’t dare question what’s between you and Zuo Xingyu; I’d rather not know anything. All I want is for you to stay by my side, just stay by my side..."

Because he loved her, his love was humble, and he didn’t even have the courage to question her.

"I can’t let you go, I can’t even bless you two! I know Zuo Xingyu loves you and that you have feelings for him too. I’ve tried to let go, I... I really can’t do it! Sisi..."

He buried his head in her shoulder, mumbling softly as suspiciously large wet spots appeared on his shoulder.

Liu Sisi’s tears spilled uncontrollably, and she cried helplessly.

"Ye Lei! You fool, you big fool! Who asked you to give me up? When did I tell you that I still loved him? No matter what the past me was like, from the moment I, Liu Sisi, married you, I only had you in my heart! As for the past, it’s already the past, do you understand? Bastard! You bastard!"

Unable to help herself, Liu Sisi tried to hit him, but her attempts to stretch her hand failed several times, and frustrated, she raised her head and bit down hard on his shoulder.

She bit down fiercely...

Yet Di Yelei seemed not to feel any pain, continuing to hold her tightly: "Right! I am a bastard! I am a stupid pig, I am foolish... Liu Sisi, I, Di Yelei, vow to take you with me even in death from now on, and I will never let go again!"

Liu Sisi’s teeth gradually loosened, and she couldn’t help but burst into loud sobs.

Finally, she reached out and kept punching Di Yelei on his body: "Who asked you to let go? You want to play the good guy now? Who agrees with letting you look at other women? And who agrees with letting you marry another woman? Who..."

The incessant chatter of her small mouth was suddenly silenced by a kiss, the remaining words all trapped within this kiss.

"Sisi, Sisi..."

Liu Sisi’s muddled brain hadn’t cleared, when it was already engulfed by a raging, devastating fire...

Just outside the room where the two of them were, a lean silhouette leaned against the window.

Listening to the noise inside, he slowly closed his eyes, tilted his head back, and forcibly pushed the tears that were about to spill back into his eye sockets.

There are some people who don’t even have the right to cry.

Opening his eyes, he looked up at the four-cornered sky above.

From the moment he initially pushed her away from his embrace, he had lost her. Ridiculously, he still believed that as long as he turned back, she would definitely still be standing at the original intersection waiting for him!

Time slowly passed, she never changed, and was always the one who dared to love and hate.

He hadn’t changed either, his heart still held only her.

The only thing that had changed was time.

Once missed, it was truly over—no matter how hard he tried, it was futile, and the love that had passed could never be reclaimed.

Wanting to personally end this tragic fate, he couldn’t help but grip the knife in his hand tightly.

But in the end, he still couldn’t bring himself to hurt her!

After all, she was the woman he loved with his life.

Just as well!

From now on, wandering the common society, where heaven meets earth, the only companions he would have were the cleansing breeze and the lingering fragrance...

Turning his head for one last look at the closed window, the creaking noises from the house no longer reached his ears.

He slowly caressed the big blade in his hand. This blade had been with him since he first became a constable, far closer than a lover. He caressed the knife as if it were his beloved, gently running his fingers from the sheath to the hilt, from the tassel to the blade, touching every part meticulously.

After a while, he finally released the knife, leaned it against the wall edge, and then slowly stepped back until he touched the wall behind him. Only then did he take one last look at the big blade and decisively turned and leapt over the fence, disappearing without a trace.

Outside the room door, Ms. Gao’s face beamed with joy. She had brought the Third Young Master along early on, when Old Master Marquis and the Princess began their chat.

The moment she sensed something was off, she hurriedly covered the Third Young Master’s mouth and took him away.

Chou Chou, with an expression full of curiosity, asked questions that almost stumped her.

At the moment, having finally pacified the questioning baby, she then stayed close to the doorway, fearing that some reckless fool might disrupt the good times, ruining this rare and wonderful moment.

It was too lonely for the Third Young Master to be alone at home—how nice it would be to have another little brother or sister!

Inside the house.

The most beautiful harmony of humanity was unfolding.

Liu Sisi and Di Yelei had already opened their hearts to each other, with only each other in their eyes. The world had lost its color at that moment, and there was no room for anyone else between the two of them.

"Sisi, let me take care of you, alright?"

Di Yelei’s voice was hoarse, and his heavy bags under his eyes did not tarnish his image of perfection in Liu Sisi’s heart.

"Alright."

Liu Sisi laughed!

She felt as if she hadn’t been this relaxed in a very, very long time, gazing into his eyes filled with deep intoxication.
