Epilogue 3.1: Year After Year

(translated by peanuts and edited by lidge)

A pair of young lovers in the law firm recently have differences in opinion. Lawyer Yuan, who was suspected as being someone who asks others to work but did nothing himself, cared about that more than proper business. He constantly followed closely for the latest developments and broadcast them to Yi Chen from time to time.

Yi Chen was really not a good gossip object, but Xiang Heng had gone on a business trip so Yi Chen reluctantly indulged Lao Yuan. After Lao Yuan gossiped about the news he heard in high spirits, he asked Yi Chen: “Do you think Xiao Wang will go?”

Seeing that Yi Chen did not answer, Lao Yuan immediately acted like a senior, saying meaningful and heartfelt words: “Yi Chen, after all, Xiao Wang has worked under you for more than a year so you should be more concerned with your subordinate.”

“Okay.” Yi Chen said in a perfunctory voice: “My wife is unlikely to want me to show concern for my female colleague’s private life.”

Ever since Yi Chen had a wife, he often liked to let his wife be made ??a scapegoat, such as my wife was strict and forbid me to drink, my wife said that I cannot go home late and so on…….

In short, after lawyer He got married, he did not need to dig his brain and can directly use his wife as an excuse. Speaking of which, he had already started using this tactic on the third day after his marriage.

Furthermore, this tactic was really good as the males will immediately sympathize with him for having a similar experience —— ” What is the use of looking handsome? What’s the use of earning a lot of money? Still being controlled strictly by the wife. My wife can’t control me, so I am better than him in this sense?” Such thinking more than offset the hatred feelings of envy and jealousy.

Whereas the ladies immediately added brownie points. A man who loves his family and wife is very reliable. It can clearly be seen that his character is trustworthy, so you can rest assured to hand over your case to lawyer He.

Hence, Mo Sheng, completely ignorant, started to have a reputation as a shrew and jealous woman in the judicial circle in A City.

Such tactic was peculiarly useful on Lao Yuan. As expected, after Yi Chen’s remark, the bachelor Lao Yuan immediately burst out in anger: “Such a big deal to have a wife!”

Lao Yuan felt very desolate in his heart. Aiya, men, they are different after getting married, start to work overtime at home and try to decline to attend social niceties. Moreover, learn to arrive late and leave early……

Late ah……

He also thought of days of hugging his wife to sleep until late for work! (This was purely Lao Yuan’s speculating irresponsibly.)

But when can he have a wife?

Lao Yuan was depressed.

_______________________________________________________________

Lao Yuan arrived in high spirits but went back depressed. When he was going out, he ran into Xiao Wang who coincidentally came in to deliver documents to Yi Chen. Lao Yuan patted her on the shoulder and said meaningfully: “Think about it properly, when you get to my age, you’ll know it is not easy to get a love relationship.”

Before Xiao Wang had a chance to react, Lao Yuan had already gone out. She froze for a moment and walked towards Yi Chen. He took the documents and while flipping through, he asked: “Xiao Wang, have you decided to go abroad?”

Yi Chen had no intention of advising her, just inquiring in a businesslike manner. After all, she was his subordinate, whether to leave or stay, naturally he needed to know about it. In these few days, his female assistant had already been advised by countless people and after listening to his question, she thought lawyer He also wanted to advise her, so she can’t help but said impulsively: “Lawyer He, you also think that I should not go abroad?”

There was a hint of stubbornness in Xiao Wang’s eyes, “Why does everyone also think that I should stay? With great difficulty, I only managed to apply to this university, so it is such a pity if I don’t go. Moreover, it is only for two years. Lawyer He, didn’t you wait for your wife for seven years? Hence, why can’t he even wait for two years? If he can’t even wait for two years, this proves that he doesn’t truly love me!”

Yi Chen did not expect her to mention about Mo Sheng and him. The expression in his eyes shifted slightly and he didn’t say anything anymore. He lowered his head, quickly finished flipping through the documents, signed and handed them back to her.

“Lawyer He, if there is nothing else, I’ll go out first.”

Xiao Wang was aware that she had a slip of the tongue and was impulsive so she felt regretful now. After taking the documents, she wanted to leave quickly.

“Wait.” Yi Chen stopped her.

Xiao Wang turned around.

“I do not have the intention to stop you from going. Every person has the right to pursue their own dream. However, this has nothing to do with proving whether the love is true or not.”

Yi Chen looked at her and said faintly: “If you want to use time to prove love, how much time would you have to waste?”

_______________________________________________________________

Due to the unexpected visit of a client before finishing work for the day, Yi Chen got home a little late. The lights in the living room were on, but there was no one there. Yi Chen went into the bedroom and saw Mo Sheng with a head full of wet hair, lying on the foot of the bed and reading a book.

Mo Sheng’s hair was pretty long now, wet and draped over the shoulders, making her pajamas wet as well. Yi Chen frowned, put his bag aside, walked over, lowered his body and put his hands on both of her sides. “Why don’t you blow-dry your hair first before reading the book?”

“You were about to come back.” Mo Sheng was too engrossed in her reading because she said that without looking up.

Yi Chen rubbed her hair, had no choice but to go to the bathroom to take a hair dryer, plugged it into the socket at the bedhead and sat down.

“Come over here.”

Thus, Mo Sheng held the book, turned over her body and laid on top of him. She placed her damp head well, adjusting to a comfortable position and continued to read. While Yi Chen was enjoying this, he was also lecturing her: “How old are you? Still behaving like a kid!”

“Aiya, you are the one who want me to keep my hair long, so you should take responsibility for it.” Mo Sheng argued with the courage of one’s convictions: “Furthermore, from a legal perspective, the long hair started to grow after we got married, so it can be considered the jointly owned property of the husband and wife. Hence, you are obliged to maintain and take good care of it.”

Yi Chen felt happy and funny: “Where did you learn such fallacious reasoning?”

Mo Sheng defended her innocence: “I learned from lawyer He’s words and deeds.”

Correctly speaking, it was innate, as he did not teach her to pester him endlessly. Yi Chen had no choice but to start blowing his joint property. In the midst of the noise from the hair dryer, Mo Sheng spoke to him about the book in her hands.

“This book, which was lend to me by Xiao Hong, is very interesting. It tells the story of a thirty years old woman who is abandoned by her husband in a failed marriage, then she dies in a car accident. The outcome is when she opens her eyes, to her surprise, she discovers she is reborn as a 14 years old. After that, she starts her life afresh, so wonderful.”

Speaking until now, she was finally willing to look away from the book and looked up at Yi Chen with her bright eyes: “Yi Chen, if you go back to being 14 years old, what will happen?”

Yi Chen ignored her and refused to answer this kind of meaningless hypothetical question.

Mo Sheng, unwilling to give up, asked further: “Will you go and look for me earlier?”

” …… At that time, you were only 13 years old, a minor who just graduated from elementary school.”

“You are right. If I go back to being 14 years old, I must be admitted to your high school. After that,” Mo Sheng beaming and said, “to get you in advance.”

Yi Chen raised his eyebrows: “Mrs. He, I regret to inform you that I will not have a puppy love relationship with you.”

“Humph! You also said you’ll not date while still in university. In the end, I still got you.” Mo Sheng shook her legs and said proudly: “Loser, why speak so boldly?”

Some people must be living too comfortably, so getting more and more arrogant. Yi Chen finished blow-dry her hair in silence and put down the hair dryer. Then suddenly, he picked up someone who was still complacent.

Mo Sheng said ‘ah’ and the book fell to the floor. She was about to protest but was silenced by someone’s lips and tongue. The cold and raw masculine aroma momentary invaded all her senses.

“Mo Sheng, your hair made my clothes wet.” Yi Chen held her sitting on his laps. While kissing her, he asked: “Help me to take off my wet clothes.”

” …… What do you want to do?” In between kisses, Mo Sheng weakly asked.

When his own wife asked this kind of question, Yi Chen was clearly left speechless: “What do you think?”

Mo Sheng mumbled: “It is early in the morning already …… Moreover, I need to go out to take outdoor shots tomorrow…… ”

“What do you think I want to do?” Yi Chen raised his eyebrows, “Since I came back, I’ve been servicing you up until now, so I’ve not even bathe yet.”

Huh?

“Thus help me to take off my clothes, so that I can go to take my bath.”

Yi Chen was leaning on the bedhead and watching Mo Sheng, who was sitting on his lap earnestly undoing his buttons. He pressed a button on the remote control for the bedhead window curtains.

The last button on the shirt has been undone, but Yi Chen did not make any movement to get up and go to the bathroom. Mo Sheng lifted her head to look up at him and saw him looking disheveled, leaning there and staring at her with blazing eyes.

“What to do?”

He seized her hands, his voice low and husky.

“Ah?” Mo Sheng also unconsciously lowered her voice.

“All of a sudden I think of the phrase ‘teach by words and deeds’. ”

_______________________________________________________________

When she was overwhelmed firmly in bed ‘to be taught by example,’ Mo Sheng was upset. How come she got deceived again? She should have known earlier if lawyer He was willing to let you take some small advantages in the battle of the mouth, you will certainly need to pay back double elsewhere.

Long ago, the window curtains had been automatically closed, concealing the activity in the room.
