Lin Yixun tightly hugged her mother. The moment she saw her mother’s smile, all her worries and anxieties seemed insignificant. She was very fortunate that no matter when, her mother would always be by her side. No matter how hard it was, she wanted to protect this precious pure land in her heart.
When Ouyang Hao came to see Lin Yixun at night, it was already close to twelve. Lin’s mother was already asleep, and Lin Yixun tiptoed out of the hospital room, only to see Ouyang Hao lazily leaning against the wall next to the room, casually playing with his phone.
To avoid unnecessary trouble, the two of them went downstairs together and headed to the small place that Ouyang Hao had bought across from the hospital. This was Lin Yixun’s first time here. As soon as she opened the door, she couldn’t help but be startled.
She never would have thought that Ouyang Hao, who had always lived a life of luxury, would let himself stay in this small fifty to sixty square meter apartment. The place had one bedroom, one living room, one bathroom, and one kitchen. It had all the essentials, but the decor was very simple. Compared to the apartment Ouyang Hao used to live in, it was like the difference between clouds and mud.
"Do you really live here?" Lin Yixun looked at him and asked.
Ouyang Hao saw the concern in Lin Yixun’s eyes, felt a warmness in his heart, and gently rubbed her hair, laughing, "At the time, I was in a hurry to find a place and didn’t find anything suitable. It was hard to find one close to the hospital, so I didn’t pay much attention to other details. What’s wrong with this place? I think it’s pretty good. Look at this neighborhood, it’s full of greenery, with bird songs and fragrant flowers. It’s quite natural."
Lin Yixun was both amused and exasperated by this description. It was winter; where were the bird songs and fragrant flowers?
After laughing, Lin Yixun couldn’t help but feel a little sad. To be closer to her, to see her a few more times, Ouyang Hao was willing to leave his great apartment and squeeze into this small place. In this world, perhaps only he would go to such lengths for her.
"Ouyang Hao, with you treating me , what am I supposed to do?"
Ouyang Hao affectionately tapped her nose, smiling, "Silly girl, you’re my wife. Isn’t it natural for me to be good to you?"
Lin Yixun couldn’t help but recall what Mrs. Ou had said to her that afternoon. Her eyes dimmed. If Ouyang Hao knew that his mother had come to see her and strongly opposed their relationship, what would he do?
Would he let go of her? Or break with his family?
From what Lin Yixun knew about Ouyang Hao, the latter was more likely. However, that wasn’t the outcome she wanted to see.
"Ouyang Hao..." Lin Yixun opened her mouth, wanting to speak, but the words stuck in her throat and she swallowed them back down. "What’s the use of telling him? It’s just adding more worries."
"Nothing, I just wanted to call your name."
"Silly girl, you can call my name anytime you want. Why do you hesitate? Of course, if you can leave out the first two words, it would be even better."
"You call this cheesy?" Ouyang Hao gave a wicked smile, suddenly leaned in and kissed her deeply. As she was about to suffocate, he reluctantly let her go and said hoarsely, "Now that’s what you call cheesy."
"How dare you take advantage of me!" Lin Yixun raised her fist to punch him.
Ouyang Hao grabbed her fist and raised an eyebrow, "What’s wrong with taking advantage of my own wife?"
The two of them cuddled for a while, then ordered a late-night snack. By the time they finished eating, it was already past one o’clock.
Ouyang Hao naturally seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and tentatively asked, "It’s really late. Why don’t you stay here tonight?"
