Side Story 3 (5)
The wedding is scheduled for next month. Su Qiuge, despite her sore back and waist, woke up in the morning and busied herself with compiling the guest list.
Before the wedding, there is a trip planned for the couple—a European tour, with the final destination being Iceland. Iceland was her choice.
Whenever she admires the exquisitely cut and constructed pink diamond, she recalls the story of that Swiss jewelry collector. It is said that he and his fiancée went to Iceland just before winter ended, and when spring arrived, his fiancée found eternal rest in that beautiful place.
Their love was anchored by a diamond ring called the “Love Potion.” Every time she looks at it, she feels a sense of regret and cherishes her present even more. Don’t wait until you lose something to regret it.
The house faces south, and in the morning, a large patch of sunlight pours in. She is wearing a white dress, slightly bending her knees, with her face reflecting tranquility and softness in the shade and sacred sunlight. On her knees, there is a notepad with a pen in hand, writing something she’s not sure of.
He looks at her beauty, and suddenly a dark thought crosses his mind. He wants to build a castle with money and wealth, hiding her away from others. Then, naturally, he would have her all to himself. He would cherish her, love her, and give her everything she desires. He would make her indulge in his goodness, making it impossible for her to leave him. He would create a prison and keep this canary captive.
Almost at the moment this idea emerges, the girl slightly turns her face and smiles at him. Her smile seems even more radiant than the sunlight outside, dispelling all the paranoid and dark thoughts in his heart. It’s only then that he realizes how greedy he has become. Even after obtaining legal recognition and her body and soul, he still remains unsatisfied. In other words, he has fallen deeper and deeper.
Marriage may be a grave for others, but for him, it is a paradise that seals his fate. He thinks about growing old with her every moment. With this in mind, he lowers his gaze and walks over to her, his eyes falling on the pink diamond she holds in her palm. As if there is a telepathic connection, she suddenly speaks, “How long has it been since his fiancée passed away?” Xie Xinglin looks at her and calmly says, “It’s been almost two years now.” She presses her lips together and softly says, “Then he must be very lonely and in pain.”
Then, as if to liven up the atmosphere, she looks at him and smiles, saying, “But I will strive to live a long, long time, by your side.”
Xie Xinglin looks at her and suddenly bends down, pulling her into his embrace. “If it were me…” He pauses for a moment and then slowly continues, “I would go and accompany you.”
His world was originally detached from all of this. Before meeting her, he had been falling, submerged in the cold depths of the sea. It was she who brought the brilliance of the human world into his life. Wherever she is, that is where the human realm exists.
Upon hearing his words, she stiffens slightly, and her eyes turn slightly red. To hide this unusual reaction, she quickly reaches out to cover his mouth and raises an eyebrow. “Are you cursing me? I will definitely live a long and healthy life, you know… Like a mischievous fairy like you, I’m sure you’ll leave a mark for a thousand years.”
So, we will be together for a very long time. Always by each other’s side. If there are past lives and future lives, if there are previous and next generations, then I will be with you in every life and every world.
Realizing that the topic may be too heavy, he walks over, naturally bends down, and embraces her, pressing his face against hers affectionately. He asks softly, “Does it still hurt?” Before she can answer, his Adam’s apple rolls slightly, and he murmurs suggestively, “Shall we continue tonight?”
At the mention of that, she freezes for a moment, then a fiery anger rises within her. She grabs a pen and directly smacks his arm, saying, “Continue my foot! Can’t you see I have a sore back and waist?”
He chuckles softly, “I bought medicine for you. I’ll administer it tonight.”
She presses her lips together and raises an eyebrow, looking at him. “You’re going to administer medicine to me?” He responds with a simple “Hmm,” lowering his gaze to her and saying meaningfully, “You’re not able to do it yourself.” He pauses for a moment and then leans closer, his cheek brushing against hers. “I understand you better than you do.”
Her face blushes, and then she lightly slaps his handsome face with her palm. “Men’s mouths are full of deceitful ghosts. You must have ulterior motives.” He curves his lips into a smile. He spoke the truth. Although he did lose control to some extent while savoring the pleasure last night, after all, he wasn’t some lustful ghost. There’s a long road ahead, and he understands that. He lowers his gaze and asks her, “Can you move today?” She leans against his body and asks him, “Where are you going today?”
Xie Xinglin held her hair in his hand and played with it slowly before speaking, “I brought back Pei An’an and the others.” Su Qiuge’s body slightly stiffened, and she saw the face of the little girl in her mind. Then she heard him continue, “She wants to see you.”
I heard before that Pei An’an’s surgery abroad was finally successful. Although I don’t know the difficulties she went through, he casually mentioned how she had been doing these past few years. Su Qiuge knew he omitted many challenging things, choosing to share only the good news and not burden her. However, she could still imagine the hardships he had faced from those brief mentions.
In reality, he had many dark sides that he hadn’t told her about, but she had learned some of them to some extent through Su Yuanzhou and Han Ming. His mother was a materialistic and disregarding person who only cared about money. Fu Cheng, his foster father, appeared righteous on the surface but actually wanted to control everything about him. Fu Cheng’s daughter was even more insane, and most of the scars on his body were probably caused by this crazy woman. She despised his background and looked down on him, and she was unwilling to let him have a share of her father’s property, tormenting him in this way.
Fortunately…
Fortunately, these people have received the retribution they deserve.
