Chapter 17
Dao Ming Mansion
Holding his wife close to him and stroking her hair, he answered her earlier question, "Yes I told him." Upon hearing this, his wife immediately got up and faced him, in her haste to turn to look at her husband she forgot to take the sheet with her and it fell to her waist, exposing all her glory to her husband's appreciative perusal.
"Really? You really told him? What did he say? What was his reaction?" she asked not realising that her husband's attention was focused on somewhere else. "Ah Si!" she grabbed and started to shake his shoulders vigorously, "Ah Si, answer me," she said louder this time grabbing his attention.
"Huh?" he said with a blur and confused look on his face when he saw his wife's furious expression. "What?" he asked her with a raised eyebrow and trying to collect his thoughts together to remember what they were talking about earlier. He couldn't concentrate with the beauty of his wife in front of him; he couldn't help but just love her more every time he sees her. Just the sight of her or the sound of her voice makes him happy.
"What is wrong with you? Did you hear what I asked you just now?" San Chai asked with a puzzled look on her face. Dao Ming Si just grabbed his wife and hugged her to him with both of him arms, so that she fell on top of him. He then took the sheet to cover the both of them, "Sorry honey, I was just distracted. My mind wondered off for awhile there. I love you. Have I told you that recently? I love you. "
Her heart just melted and she forgot that she was irritated at him awhile ago. She adjusted herself into a more comfortable position and then raised her head and smiled at him, "You pig head, sometimes I really don't know what to do with you ok." He smiled back at her with his dimples deepening, "Just love me. Just love me back. That's all I need, that's all I ask for," his arms tightening his hold around her.
They stayed that way for awhile, both of them safe in the knowledge of their love for each other before she looked at him and repeated her question again, "Hey you still haven't told me yet what Xi Men's reaction was when you told him that Xiao You is back here in Taiwan. What did he say?"
Sighing, he looked down at his wife, "He didn't say much. At first he didn't even have any reaction to the news when I told them until me and Mei Zhuo tried to get him to say something."
"Why? You mean he wasn't happy to hear the news?" San Chai asked her husband sadly. "I don't know. He wasn't happy, he wasn't sad. That's the thing with Xi Men these days. He hardly has any expression on his face anymore. It's almost as if he no longer has the capacity to feel anything. I think the rays from the computer screen that he is always stuck to must have muddled his brain cells or something," Dao Ming explained to his wife while idly stroking her hair and caressing her shoulder. He continued on, "He just told us that we shouldn't take it for granted that just because she is back that the both of them would have a future together. The he said some stuff about how the both of them must have changed so much that they wouldn't have anything in common anymore and all that stuff," sighing he just shook his head at the memory of his friend last night at VS.
San Chai knew that they all shouldn't have unrealistic expectations as well but then she also thought that the both of them should at least give themselves a chance. "Xi Men doesn't even sound like he wants to make an effort, does he?" she asked her husband looking at him. She went on, "I just had hoped that maybe this time, they could work something out. She does still love him you know. All this time, she didn't go out with any guy because she has always been thinking of him. I know we shouldn't take it for granted that they would certainly hit it off together, but then you'll never know if you never try."
Sighing again, "Well there is nothing much we can do but just be by their side and support them. They are adults now, they should know what to do," Dao Ming Si told his wife. "Hey you better get some rest. Don't worry your little head about them okay. They will settle it between themselves. Come on, let's go back to sleep," he pulled her against his side into a more comfortable sleeping position and put his arms around her. "Don't think too much anymore. You need your rest," he told her and then the both of them went slowly to sleep with their arms around each other.
