Chapter 519: Change of Appearance
It took Yun Che a long time to look up. His once handsome face had indeed changed a lot. He looked thinner and more haggard, and his eyes were bloodshot and very red. He was no longer the charming and beautiful handsome man he used to be.
His cracked lips moved slightly, and he let out a painful groan. "Mingli, do you also think I shouldn't be with her? I seem to have caused her endless pain over the years. From all the previous accidents to this life-or-death situation, I had no way to deal with it. If she hadn't come back, or had stayed with Gao Chengze, this accident wouldn't have happened."
Mingli was so shocked when he heard these words that he was unable to move.
"Maybe I'm not destined to have a lover. Zhao Jiaying was like this before, and Su Xiao is like this now. Whatever happened to Zhao Jiaying is her own fault, but Su Xiao did nothing wrong. She's so kind and nice. Why should she suffer all this? Why not just come at me? I shouldn't have forced her to be with me in the first place, I shouldn't have married her."
"Please don't be like this, President. Don't think too much. Although the current situation is a bit bad, it will eventually pass. Miss Su Xiao will be fine." Mingli hurriedly comforted her. This strong man almost cried.
It was simply because he had never seen Yun Che like this before. He deeply felt the deep pessimism and despair emanating from Yun Che, something he had never seen in all the years he had followed Yun Che.
When Zhao Jiaying disappeared and left, Yun Che also felt misunderstanding and pain for a while, but it was not this serious. Even when Su Xiao left that year, or when Su Xiao was in a coma a while ago, the president was not as desperate as he is now. It was a complete collapse without any hope.
"She's definitely fine? Do you believe it?" Yun Che glared at Mingli and shook his head. "There's been no news from her for so many days. If she was targeting me and wanted to negotiate some terms with me, she would have contacted me long ago. So..."
"No, you see, Master Yanyan and his men haven't contacted you either. Madam must be fine, just like Master Yanyan. At least she's not in any danger. As for why they didn't contact you, they may have their reasons, but they will never harm Madam."
Mingli tried to comfort Yun Che, but it was of no use. In the end, he could only stay with Yun Che silently, staying awake all night.
The days passed one by one, and in the blink of an eye, another week had passed.
Su Xiao has completely adapted to her current life. She just realized that they live on an island. Situ Jin told her that because he wants to develop a project, only the geographical location here is suitable.
Su Xiao didn't think much about it and just did what he said. She also found that she quite liked it here. There was plenty of sunshine, but it wasn't too hot. The climate was pleasant and the air was good. She could see the beautiful sea every day and feel the sea breeze. It was so comfortable.
Although she lost her memory, she felt that this was the life she had longed for since she was a child.
Moreover, although her husband seems to be cold and unromantic, he is still very good to her. He asks about her health every day and cooks all kinds of delicious food for her. Her son Yanyan takes care of her in every possible way.
She thought this must be the married life that many people dream of.
As they spent these days together, she began to like Situ Jin more and more. Even though it wasn't as heart-pounding and passionate as described in the books, it still felt quite warm. Occasionally, she would act coquettishly towards him. She remembered that he was not used to it at first and ignored her, but gradually he followed her lead.
One day, Su Xiao suddenly wanted to eat fish and asked Situ Jin to go out to sea to catch some for her. However, Situ Jin had just finished an experiment and had been in the laboratory for several hours without a minute's rest. His face was obviously tired. Su Xiao felt that she should not be such a person, but she didn't know what was going on. She just got angry and insisted that he go fishing, and even cried.
As a last resort, Situ Jin could only go along with her.
Yanyan sent his father out and watched him walk away. He returned to the house and said to Su Xiao with a serious face, "Mom, I think you should stop while you're ahead. Dad is so tired, why are you still tormenting him so much? Are all you women so barbaric? I don't dare get married in the future."
Su Xiao was stunned, then glared at her son and said angrily, "What do you know? A woman marries you and works hard to give birth to your children, and you men are not satisfied with this little thing? Then we women don't have to marry either."
"But you're being too noisy. I can't stand it! Actually, I have something to say, don't mind me."
"What? Say it!" Su Xiao said.
Seeing his mother's angry expression, the little guy hesitated for a moment before saying, "Dad is so handsome and capable, but you, although you have regular features, are at best pretty. Besides, Dad said you've never worked before. You see, Dad always suffers."
Uh - speaking of her appearance, Su Xiao remembered that she was also surprised when she saw her appearance in the mirror for the first time that day. It was not because she was ugly, but as her son said, her husband was so outstanding, and she should at least be as beautiful as a flower to be worthy of him.
However, although her facial features were regular, her skin was a little sallow, and she was indeed much inferior to the handsome Situ Jin.
"That... that was also his choice. He has known for a long time that I have an ordinary appearance, but he doesn't despise it. This means that I have other outstanding qualities that make him satisfied and admired, otherwise he would not marry me! You, you are so young and judge people by their appearance. Don't think that you can do this just because you are handsome. The most important thing for marrying a wife is her character." Su Xiao argued unhappily.
"But Mom, you're not necessarily a good person either. You're not gentle at all, and you're actually quite wild." Seeing his mother's angry expression, the little guy quickly chuckled. "Okay, I won't say anything more. I just... can't stand it. If you don't like it, just ignore it. You're not my wife anyway. It's Dad who's suffering. Don't mind it, ha? Forget what I just said, you're my mom, so naturally you're the most outstanding person in the world. I'll go to the lab and take a look."
The little guy has slipped away.
Su Xiao first stared at the direction where he disappeared angrily and thought for a while, then stood up and walked to the mirror.
A pretty face immediately appeared in the mirror. The face shape was quite nice, and in fact the facial features were also good, including the eyes, nose, and mouth. The only shortcoming was her skin. People say that a white complexion can hide three flaws, but her skin seemed to be coated with a layer of dark yellow, which made her look dull.
Was it originally like this?
Or did it become like this later in life?
Situ Jin told her that she came from a small town in the south, close to the sea. Girls living near the sea don’t have good skin, their skin is often yellow and dull, which is the result of frequent sea breeze.
