Thinking of this, a trace of sadness flashed through Tan Xiangchen's heart.
He secretly decided that he must not let Li Yuzhu see him in this state, so he stood up and prepared to leave.
In fact, Li Yuzhu has been waiting for Tan Xiangchen.
She pretended to sleep, and when Tan Xiangchen appeared, her heart was extremely excited, but she still forced herself to hold back and kept pretending to be asleep.
Seeing that Tan Xiangchen was about to leave, Li Yuzhu could no longer bear it. She quickly stood up, stretched out her hands, hugged Tan Xiangchen's waist tightly, and said anxiously: "Xiangchen, don't go."
Tan Xiangchen was shocked by this sudden hug, and his heart was shaken. He could clearly feel the softness of Li Yuzhu's body and smell the rose scent emanating from her.
Tan Xiangchen subconsciously wanted to take Li Yuzhu's hand away, but his hands seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and he couldn't bear to do it. He closed his eyes and quietly enjoyed this long-lost hug.
Li Yuzhu said gently: "Xiang Chen, I am Yuzhu, don't go, I miss you so much."
Tan Xiangchen opened his eyes helplessly, feeling Li Yuzhu's embrace and her tears.
Tan Xiangchen's heart felt like it was hit by a heavy hammer, and it hurt so much that he couldn't breathe.
Li Yuzhu smiled slightly and said, "Xiang Chen, our son Tan Zhengchu has grown up and has seven babies. You will definitely like them."
A warm picture of her family together emerged in Li Yuzhu's mind, a scene she had not dared to hope for for many years.
"I feel that day is not far away." Li Yuzhu thought silently in her heart, "I can finally give my two sons a complete home."
Li Yuzhu hugged Tan Xiangchen tightly, and told him softly and slowly about everything that had happened in the twenty years since he left.
She talked about happy things, emphasizing the growth of her two sons, Tan Zhengchu and Tan Zhengfan, but did not mention a word about the suffering she had endured.
In fact, during those long days, Li Yuzhu suffered from severe depression and was unable to take care of herself. She was deeply immersed in the longing for Tan Xiangchen and was in great pain.
Tan Xiangchen listened quietly, reluctant to interrupt Li Yuzhu's story. He could truly feel that Li Yuzhu was in a good mood at the moment, and there was a smile in her voice.
Li Yuzhu keenly noticed that Tan Xiangchen's body was gradually relaxing. She knew that Tan Xiangchen was no longer resisting her and his heart was slowly softening.
So, Li Yuzhu plucked up the courage, reached out and hugged Tan Xiangchen's neck.
She raised her head slightly, gently kissed Tan Xiangchen's neck, and then slowly moved her lips closer to his lips.
Tan Xiangchen was immersed in Li Yuzhu's closeness. His breathing became rapid and his eyes became a little unfocused.
However, when Li Yuzhu turned Tan Xiangchen's body around and they were face to face, Tan Xiangchen suddenly woke up as if from a dream and pushed her away.
Li Yuzhu was caught off guard and fell onto the bed.
But she did not stand up immediately. Instead, she lifted her hair in a charming manner, revealing her still beautiful face.
Tan Xiangchen's eyes were instantly attracted by Li Yuzhu, and for a moment, he couldn't look away until Li Yuzhu slowly stood up.
Li Yuzhu looked straight at Tan Xiangchen, with a hint of expectation and questioning in her eyes, and asked: "Xiangchen, does your previous promise still count? I have never married in my life, and I only want to marry you."
Tan Xiangchen was speechless when he heard this. He was silent for a moment before admitting, "This is what I promised, but now, I have broken my promise."
Tan Xiangchen's expression became cold. He chuckled, with a bit of helplessness and bitterness in his tone, and said, "I'm sorry, Yuzhu, I don't want to marry you now."
After saying that, Tan Xiangchen turned around and wanted to leave in a hurry.
Li Yuzhu did not chase him, but just looked at his back quietly.
Tan Xiangchen walked to the door and stretched out his hand to pull it, but found that the door would not open. He frowned and pulled hard a few times, but the door still did not move.
Only then did Tan Xiangchen confirm that the door was locked and he could not leave for the moment.
At this time, the moonlight poured into the room through the gaps in the curtains, and the soft silver light reflected on Li Yuzhu's face, making her look even more charming.
She stood by the bed, staring at Tan Xiangchen with infatuated eyes, her voice gentle but firm: "Xiangchen, I have been waiting for you, and I will not let you leave this time."
Her fingers gently stroked the door frame, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. "I specially asked someone to customize this door these two days. Once an outsider comes in, there is no way to open it. You...don't even think about escaping."
Tan Xiangchen had his back to her, his hands clenched into fists, his knuckles trembling from the force.
He didn't dare turn around, for fear that he would soften his heart once he saw her face.
His throat seemed to be blocked by something. He wanted to say something cruel, but he couldn't say it.
For more than twenty years, he thought about her and missed her every day. Now that he saw her, his heart was filled with joy, but he could only force himself not to get closer.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Li Yuzhu slowly walked forward a few steps, and said in a gentle voice as if coaxing a child: "Xiang Chen, do you know? From the moment I saw you, my illness was cured. Only you can heal me, only you."
Her steps were light, but every step seemed to be stepping on Tan Xiangchen's heart.
Hearing her footsteps approaching, Tan Xiangchen subconsciously took a few steps back, his voice hoarse: "Don't come over... I don't want you to see me like this."
There was a hint of pain and inferiority in his voice, as if he was afraid of something.
Li Yuzhu didn't care and continued forward, "No matter what you become, I want you. I won't let you leave me again, and I won't let you hide from me again."
Her tone was firm and there was a gleam in her eyes that could not be refused.
Tan Xiangchen had nowhere to retreat and his back was against the wall.
He lowered his head, not daring to look into her eyes, but his heart was already in a mess.
At this moment, Li Yuzhu suddenly stepped forward, put her arms around his neck, stood on tiptoes, and kissed his lips without hesitation.
Her kiss was passionate and forceful, as if she wanted to pour all the longing of the past twenty years into it.
Tan Xiangchen's body suddenly stiffened, and he subconsciously wanted to push her away, but Li Yuzhu hugged her even tighter.
Her voice was vague but firm: "Xiang Chen, I know your body may be damaged, but I don't care. No matter where you are damaged, I accept it, and I will not stop loving you because of it."
Tan Xiangchen's resistance gradually collapsed in her passionate kiss.
He knew in his heart that he shouldn't do this, but his body responded to her uncontrollably.
His hands slowly rose and finally landed on her waist, holding her tightly.
His kiss went from passive at first to active and passionate, as if he wanted to release all the longing and repression.
Under the moonlight, the two figures intertwined, as if time had stopped at this moment.
Tan Xiangchen knew in his heart that he could no longer push her away.
His willpower had long since collapsed in the face of her gentleness and determination.
