Chapter 525 became a nightmare he could never overcome in his life.
"Ayin, you're drunk. Shall I carry you back to bed?"
"I'm not drunk." Song Lanyin raised her hand, her fingertips tracing the moon in the night sky on the glass window. "Wen Jingxi, shall I tell you a story?"
Wen Jingxi knew she was drunk, so he went along with her, "Okay, go ahead, I'm listening."
"Chang'e doesn't actually like eating rabbits, but there are only rabbits on the moon, and she was so hungry that she had no choice but to roast and eat them."
Wen Jingxi: "..."
"Do you think she's very bad?"
Wen Jingxi frowned, and it took him a while to realize what was happening.
Song Lanyin was talking about herself.
What she meant was that she didn't actually want to be a mercenary, but she had no choice; she wanted to survive, so she had to desperately complete the missions.
Wen Jingxi felt extremely distressed.
“She’s not a bad person.” Wen Jingxi held her hand, his voice gentle. “I think she’s a good person, and I’m very grateful to her.”
Why should we be grateful to her?
"I'm grateful that she persevered through all the hardships and suffering, and thankful that she survived unharmed." Wen Jingxi held her chin, making her turn her head to face him. "Ayin, actually, I'm the one who should say thank you. Thank you for coming into my life, thank you for teaching me what love is, and thank you for your perseverance over the past year."
Song Lanyin's tears fell unexpectedly. She wrapped her arms around his neck, stood on tiptoe, and kissed his lips.
Tears soaked her cheeks, and both of them tasted the salty bitterness.
She kissed him, again and again, expressing her deep love with a long, lingering kiss devoid of any lust.
'Wen Jingxi, I wish I could be with you forever, I wish I could have you every single moment.'
'Wen Jingxi, two years, seven hundred and thirty days and nights, will you forget me?'
'Wen Jingxi, I really want to have a wedding with you, and I really want to give you the daughter you've always longed for…'
'Wen Jingxi, Wen Jingxi, Wen Jingxi…'
The kiss deepened, and the tears flowed more and more.
Wen Jingxi finally noticed that something was wrong with Song Lanyin.
"Ayin?" He turned his face to look at her, but Song Lanyin didn't give him the chance and kissed him eagerly and passionately.
"Wen Jingxi, give it to me..."
Wen Jingxi's Adam's apple bobbed; his body reacted before his reason could, but he could clearly sense that Song Lanyin's emotions were off.
"Ayin, what's wrong? Why are you crying... Wait a minute, are you in a bad mood? Please tell me."
Song Lanyin was unwilling; she was afraid she would blurt out that she was about to leave.
With a sudden burst of strength, she pinned Wen Jingxi against the French windows and kissed him haphazardly, her hands frantically unbuttoning his shirt. Her head was slightly fuzzy from the alcohol, but she was still fairly clear-headed.
At this moment, all she wanted was to do what Wen Jingxi wanted, using physical desire to mask the pain in her heart.
She didn't want to think about tomorrow; right now, in this very moment, all she wanted was to have him, to drag him down completely.
With a 'snap,' the moment the belt buckle was unbuckled, Song Lanyin crouched down—
"Ah Yin!"
Wen Jingxi suddenly opened his eyes and grabbed her arm.
Song Lanyin knelt before him, tilting her chin up and gazing at him with teary eyes, "Wen Jingxi, I just wanted to make you happy..."
Wen Jingxi's Adam's apple bobbed, her words making his blood boil, but this boiling was no match for the pain in his heart.
“You don’t need to do this…” Wen Jingxi pulled her up, cupped the back of her head, and kissed her deeply. “I’m happy just having you by my side, Sister Yin. Remember, you never need to do this. When you do this, it only breaks my heart…”
Song Lanyin was stunned.
The next moment, she could no longer hold back her tears.
"Wen Jingxi, don't be so good to me..." She seemed even more drunk, sobbing uncontrollably, "You shouldn't be so good to me, you're so good to me... What am I going to do? What am I going to do if even you're like this..."
She spoke in broken, disjointed sentences.
Wen Jingxi's heart was already in turmoil from her crying, and he just wanted to comfort her as soon as possible.
He picked Song Lanyin up and carried her to the bedroom.
...
In the bedroom, Wen Jingxi placed her on the soft bed, lowered his head and kissed her wet eyes. "Sweetie, don't cry. You're drunk. Let's go to sleep, okay?"
Song Lanyin clutched his clothes tightly, her eyes half-open, tears streaming down her face.
One by one, they fell, soaking the pillow.
"Don't go..."
“I won’t leave.” Wen Jingxi held her hand. “Sister Ayin, I will always be here. We’re married now, we’ll never be apart. I promise you, every day from now on, as long as you open your eyes, I will be there.”
"Promise me you won't forget me...promise me no matter what I do in the future, no matter how angry you are, never forget me..."
Even if she left without saying goodbye, causing him disappointment and pain, even if he hates her, he should not forget her.
Wen Jingxi was so touched by her words that he couldn't help but soften his heart.
This was the first time he had seen Song Lanyin's vulnerable side.
He thought, it's good that she's drunk, because only when she's drunk will she be able to vent her true emotions so unreservedly.
His sister, Ah Yin, has suffered too much in her life.
"Sister Ayin, remember this: I will never hate you. No matter what you do, I will never hate you. No matter what you do, I will love you. I will always love you."
The man's deep voice echoed in the bedroom.
Song Lanyin laughed, but her tears flowed even more fiercely.
"Wen Jingxi, I love you. I will only love you in this life. I will love you forever, until I grow old, until the last moment of my life."
Wen Jingxi's heart pounded like a drum, and hot blood flowed through his entire body.
He lowered his head and kissed her deeply.
That night, the drunken Song Lanyin was very passionate, and Wen Jingxi thought he was going to die on her.
The two, who had lost control, finally finished around 2 a.m., and then fell into a deep sleep in each other's arms.
In the night sky, the bright moon, which had been obscured by dark clouds at some point, finally reappeared. A sliver of pale moonlight shone through the window into the room, and the light fell precisely on Song Lanyin's abdomen.
That night, a little life quietly arrived.
That was a gift from the moon.
…
Song Lanyin left three days later.
It was a very ordinary and warm morning.
As usual, the two got up early and went downstairs for a morning run together, then went home, took a shower, and had breakfast together.
After breakfast, the two went out together.
When they arrived at the studio building, Song Lanyin told Wen Jingxi to go to the studio first. She said calmly, "I have an appointment with the salesperson who sells fitness equipment. Their flagship store is in the east of the city. I'll go take a look."
Wen Jingxi didn't think much of it and simply asked, "Do you need me to come with you?"
"No need. Aren't you rushing to meet the deadline these days? I'm very familiar with these equipment and things, so don't worry."
Upon hearing this, Wen Jingxi said nothing more.
The two got out of the car, and Wen Jingxi tapped her cheek, "My dear husband."
Song Lanyin glanced at him, but still leaned over and tiptoed to kiss him on the cheek. "Is that enough? Go back to work!"
Wen Jingxi grabbed the back of her head, kissed her on the lips, released her, and waved, "Come to my studio when you're done."
"I understand." Song Lanyin looked at his tall and dashing back, her eyes instantly reddening.
Before the tears fell, she turned around and opened the car door.
After getting into the car, she started the engine and turned to watch Wen Jingxi walk into the building through the car window.
Only after Wen Jingxi's figure disappeared from sight did Song Lanyin turn her head, shift gears, and accelerate.
The white Range Rover drove away.
What should have been an ordinary morning turned into a nightmare that Wen Jingxi could never overcome in his life.
