Chapter 18
After the unpleasant meeting with Han Yilin, Shen Xinrui drove her car quickly to her home. After calming down, she was very uneasy, knowing that Li Yuanhang had returned, subconsciously she felt insecure, and was afraid that he would treat her like he did in the past. So now she desperately needs a person to protect her, give her a sense of security, and this person, non-Mu Yunsheng.
All the way to drive fast, to the door, even the car does not care about parking, Shen Xinrui directly out of the car to the door to run, panicked look like there is an evil spirit behind the chase.
Open the door, aunt Gao is in the living room mopping the floor, see Shen Xinrui back, she was busy standing up and respectfully bowed her head: “Miss Shen, you’re back.”
“Where is Yunsheng?” Shen Xinrui couldn’t care about that much and asked directly and urgently.
“Mister is in the back garden pruning ……” Aunt Gao’s words were not finished, Shen Xinrui had already rushed towards the back garden, she looked at her back somewhat strangely, and then continued to mop her own floor.
When Shen Xinrui found Mu Yunsheng, he was standing by the pomegranate tree, hesitating whether to cut off the excessive flowers. If he cut it off, the two little buns upstairs building blocks with Sikong Ye didn’t know if they would cry, because they had said what the teacher said about not hurting the little flowers and grasses and caring for them.
Mu Yunsheng rarely hesitates, but when it comes to the two little buns, he can’t help it, you really have to think twice before doing something. Just as he was torn, a silhouette suddenly pounced from the side, he reflexively wanted to strike out to attack, only after seeing the other party did he hard brake his movement.
“Yunsheng!!!” The visitor called out with a sobbing voice, and in the next second jumped into his arms.
Mu Yunsheng froze a little for the first time, stretching his arms at a loss for words and letting Shen Xinrui hold him, freezing for half a second before reacting to hold her. “What’s wrong?”
Shen Xinrui hugged Mu Yunsheng, her body trembling slightly, she couldn’t tell if she was excited or scared because both were unnecessary.
Mu Yunsheng would always give people a feeling of peace of mind, staying with him in a group, the passage of years would become silent, the changes in everything around you would no longer matter, your world must be ethereal and quiet. But Li Yuanhang is different, his body with an unnoticeable dominant posture, strong body with his domineering to almost savage character, he is the emperor of the domination of people’s life and death, and she Shen Xinrui, is his call to come and wave is to go to the tool of desire.
It is time to be uneasy and afraid, Shen Xinrui think, Li Yuanhang’s return will inevitably trigger a horrible storm. She did not dare to gamble, afraid that if she lost, she would lose her two sons, because they looked too much like him, looking at them, even she herself could not say in good conscience that they were not his sons. So ……
“Yunsheng, let’s get married!!!”
“What?”
Shen Xinrui’s words completely startled Mu Yunsheng, but it was only for a few seconds, he quickly returned to normal and spat out a single word: “Uh-huh.”
Very dry sound of agreement, Shen Xinrui heard, tears swish out of her eyes, she lifted her head from Mu Yunsheng’s embrace to look at him, her whitened lips moved for half a day before she said, “Yunsheng, you don’t even ask me why I suddenly want to get married to you?”
Mu Yunsheng’s reply was to tighten his hands and hold her even tighter, his warm embrace encircling her whole, forming the strongest protective circle.
“Oooh–” Shen Xinrui couldn’t help but lose her voice and cried, like a child in his arms while crying, “Yunsheng you’re so stupid, I taught you, you can’t let others do whatever they want to you ah. Oooh, I’m sorry Yunsheng, I have to use you as a shield again this time.”
Shen Xinrui was wailing and crying, Mu Yuncheng held her without a word, his handsome face could not be seen to have any expression, he also just pursed his lips, and only after a long time did he faintly open his mouth.
“Don’t cry.”
Two simple words, Shen Xinrui couldn’t help but cry even louder, Mu Yunsheng helplessly sighed slightly, and could only reach out to embrace her, letting her vent. Suddenly, as if he sensed something, he raised his head and looked towards the second floor of the house, the window entrance of the two little buns, Sikong Ye was standing there, staring at this side with a complicated gaze.
After staring at Sikong Ye for a few seconds, she averted her gaze and turned to go into her room, and Mu Yunsheng also retracted his gaze and gently patted Shen Xinrui’s back to comfort her.
In the evening, Mu Yusheng made a call to the two old men of the Shen family who were vacationing in Europe, and when they learned that their daughter was getting married, the two old men were first shocked, and then scolded Shen Xinrui, asking her why she suddenly got married. Although the marriage object they have no opinion, but she can not wait for them to come back, must be the day after tomorrow immediately held a wedding. Shen Xinrui’s answer to this is a man when married to a woman when married, she and Mu Yunsheng love at first sight and love for a long time like the sea, all to this, and then do not get married and wait for what!
Hearing Shen Xinrui words, Shen father really want to quickly pack back to reward her a big ear, blind bullshit is not that bullshit good! But he thought about it, she and Mu Yunsheng is indeed to the age of marriage, and the family that does not contend with the daughter is still unmarried children, punch this reputation is not good to marry. I think also know two buns is whose seed, when not she hid secretly give birth to a child before coming back, he had to pull her to the hospital to get rid of it. Now, the two buns are almost three years old, and the days are gradually calming down. Mu Yunsheng this child, although not talkative, but the heart is still good, these years of change, they also see in the eyes. Although it happened suddenly, but the two of them want to get married, then let’s get married.
So, with the consent of the parents, Shen Xinrui and Mu Yunsheng’s marriage was finalized. The two of them went to the Civil Affairs Bureau the next day to receive the red book, at the same time, the family’s maid, Aunt Gao, and the housekeeper, Uncle Wang, also quickly sent out invitations and handled and arranged all the things and processes needed for the marriage. Everything is ready, just waiting for tomorrow guests gathered XX church, two people in the witness of all, married.
The two little buns for mom suddenly married this matter did not have any objection, itself Mu Yunsheng in their growing up process has already acted as a father’s role, and now married, but also let them really have the legendary “father” only.
For his two sons did not object to the performance, Shen Xinrui is very pleased, at least she does not have to deal with them a variety of difficult to cope with the problem. The two little kids, not very old, but the brain is very good, also do not know who inherited this cleverness.
Knowing that tomorrow will be very lively and a lot of good food, the two little packets of noise for a long time before going to bed peacefully, take care of them to sleep, Shen Xinrui came to the second floor balcony alone.
Tonight there is no wind and no clouds, the sky hangs a round of semicircular moon, bright moonlight without obstacles to the earth. On the balcony planted some purple violets, moonlight through its flowers and leaves, on the ground cut out mottled broken shadow.
Shen Xinrui stood on the balcony, gazing at the distant city of neon lights shining. For some reason, after looking at it for a long time, she suddenly felt bored. In the three years since Li Yuanhang had left, she had become frequent in and out of the XX military region, lingering like a fool in the places where he had stayed. She has become accustomed to the XX military region that once the night is quiet only the sound of insects, and the dark night sky jewel-like beautiful stars, and here, the city lights are too dazzling dazzling color, obscured the beautiful starlight.
Love from childhood, with the growth of little by little engraved in the heart and bones, exaggerated to the point that her every breath is in love with him. The obsession of this love is too deep and heavy, she can not do to forget him, even if this life is no longer possible and he together, she will calmly hold this obsession to the end of the old man died. Yes, she wants to love him calmly and quietly, no longer have expectations and fantasies, so that there will be no more despair and pain.
More than twenty years of love, gradually turned into a habit, turned into poison, infested her life, no longer possible to peel off.
“Yuanhang, I’m going to get married. I will keep my love for you quietly until the end of my days, and I also hope that you and the woman you love will grow old together, but I hope that you and I will never cross paths again, so that there will be no more harm.”
In the balcony contemplation for a long time, Shen Xinrui gently opened her mouth, seems to be a sigh seems to be sadness of the end of the voice disappeared in the brightly blooming purple violet flowers.
A gust of wind blew suddenly, the cloth curtain by the balcony door moved slightly, and a dark shadow slowly disappeared.
XX church is on the beach, Sikong Ye chose the location, she said that after the wedding ceremony, the guests can also play on the beach. As for the banquet, it was directly set up in the open-air hotel, and there would be quite a few activities in the evening. The little girl has more ideas, Shen Xinrui guessed that she must have spent a lot of effort to arrange the process, the heart can not help but be very grateful to her as a friend who has not known for a few days.
Putting on the white and bright wedding dress, Shen Xinrui let the stylist fiddle with it until everything was finally finished. Hands pinching the fluffy sarong, she stood in front of the mirror with some apprehension, the mirror reflected a beautiful bride, but unfortunately, her face did not have a happy expression, there is only bewilderment and uneasiness.
Out of nowhere, another figure suddenly appeared in the mirror. Neat and straight green military uniform wrapped around a strong body, sturdy and powerful arms attached to the sides of the body, slender legs poking the standard upright, head wearing a hat printed with the People’s Liberation Army emblem. The brim of the hat was pressed low, blocking a large part of his face, even so, Shen Xinrui still recognized him and turned around violently, “Far ……”
Seeing that another word was about to be spat out from her mouth, Shen Xinrui sharply braked, behind her there was no man in military regular clothes at all, only Mu Yunsheng stood there, wearing a white suit, his single thin lips slightly pursed.
Shen Xinrui’s eyes flashed with a hint of loss, although extremely fast, it was still captured by Mu Yunsheng.
“Yunsheng.” Shen Xinrui don’t open her eyes and called out in a low voice.
Mu Yunsheng didn’t say anything, and only looked at her quietly, and after half a second, he faintly said, “It’s time to go.” After speaking, he stretched out his hand towards her.
The hand that stretched out towards herself had fair skin, a smooth and flawless surface, and her slender fingers were naturally suited to lingering in the black and white keys. Mu Yunsheng was the elegant and noble prince, imposing and unrivaled.
On the contrary, Shen Xinrui remembered clearly that the man’s hands had thin calluses of varying sizes, and his fingertips were slightly deformed from fiddling with guns for a long time. His fingers were also very long, but they were bronze-colored, and each finger possessed a huge and incomparable strength, whether in ordinary times or in private love affairs, there was always the power of her resistance to impotence.
Hesitantly slowly raised his hand, and then slowly slipped into the other party’s slightly cool palm, to the final gradual clasp, was led by him step by step out. Shen Xinrui was in a trance, her mind drifted to nowhere, secretly remembering that man again. His palm is always hot, in the cold winter days, also had wrapped her cold hands to warm her, more often than not, it is in her body to light up one cluster of fire after another.
Thoroughly god out of the sky, Shen Xinrui’s whole body is immersed in the past points with that man, completely unaware of how she left home and rode the car to the beach, and how she got out of the car and walked into the church, and finally took Mu Yunsheng’s hand and walked in front of the solemn priest.
The priest with a cross around his neck, his expression softly looking at himself, and then slowly uttered that moving vow. Judas such a vow she had heard three years ago, at that man’s wedding, the officiant read it out with this same smile, and then it was ……
“I do.”
Mu Yunsheng’s simple and sharp reply came from her ears, Shen Xinrui was still in a state of delirium, her gaze falling unfocused on the bouquet in her hand, until the priest once again raised his pitch and asked her.
“This young lady, please answer me.”
The priest’s words fell, and there was no answer for a long time, and the guests under the seat couldn’t help but look at Shen Xinrui suspiciously, while she continued to freeze there without any reaction.
The priest’s brow had furrowed, Mu Yunsheng saw it, twisted his head and reached out to stroke his hand between Shen Xinrui’s ears, whispering, “Xinrui.”
A low sound finally woke up Shen Xinrui, she was busy lifting her head to look around and stuttered under her breath, “What, what’s wrong?”
“Are you willing to marry me?”
Mu Yunsheng asked in a salty manner, Shen Xinrui then understood the situation at the moment, if she remembered correctly, just now was the first time he called her name, right? Thinking of this, she looked at him with some embarrassment, “I’m sorry, I didn’t sleep well last night, I was a bit distracted.”
Looking at Shen Xinrui’s apologetic look, Mu Yunsheng ignored it as he pursed his lips and repeated, “Xinrui, are you willing to marry me?”
Mu Yunsheng’s expression for the first time so serious, looking at Shen Xinrui a bit frozen, raising a long time before opening her mouth, “I ……”
“Rui Rui, don’t you tell brother Li about getting married?”
Out of thin air came a slightly smiling words, the end of the voice high up, mellow voice line exceptionally familiar.
Shen Xinrui’s body instantly froze, and she turned around with extremely slow movements. The crowd also followed the sound and looked, and they only saw a tall man standing backlit, standing straight up at the church’s entrance.
After seeing the man at the entrance, Shen Xinrui’s pupils suddenly contracted, and she was unable to control herself as she took a few steps forward.
