The empty room was so silent that there was no response at all. Shangguan Yu held his hands on the wall. He suddenly felt that the air around him had become thinner and his breathing was no longer so smooth.
Is she...really gone?
His beloved woman, his beautiful wife, the happiness he had just found, just left without saying a word?
Why is happiness always so short-lived, as short as opening and closing eyes? Why happiness always fades away so easily, like quicksand held tightly in the hand...
Her unique smell still lingers on his body, but her shadow is no longer visible in the air. How can he bear such a cruel reality!!
Shangguan Yu lowered his head in loneliness. He covered his heart. His handsome features were full of pain and discomfort. He had been heartless for so long. This time he finally knew what heartache felt like.
Rao Mengyu suddenly appeared at the door wearing a loose men's shirt and straw slippers with two small twists. When she saw Shangguan Yu's lonely figure, she couldn't help but be curious.
"Hey, you woke up so soon, and I said I was going to cook a big meal for you tonight?"
Hearing Rao Mengyu's voice, Shangguan Yu suddenly raised his head and saw the woman appeared in front of him intact. He wiped his eyes uncertainly first, and then hugged the woman ecstatically.
"Where did you go?! You really scared me to death!!"
He hugged the woman tightly in excitement, looked left and right, but still wasn't sure.
"Is it really you? You didn't leave? Or did you leave and come back?"
"I went to the nearby supermarket to buy some ingredients for dinner. Here, look..."
Rao Mengyu raised the two big bags in his hands and said proudly.
"They are all the fruits of victory that I competed with others for. Don't you know? There is a big sale in the supermarket. Look, there are caviar, oysters, smoked salmon... Oh, oh... still...
There is this..."
Rao Mengyu hurriedly took out a bottle of wine from her pocket, handed it to Shangguan Yu and said: "I heard that you like drinking red wine, so I spent a lot of money this time and picked the most expensive bottle. You can taste it later."
How about, let’s see what the difference is between your rich people’s 82-year-old Lafite and those of common people like us!!”
Seeing Rao Mengyu's face glowing with radiance and her whole person showing the careful calculation of a little woman, Shangguan Yu couldn't help but feel happy and satisfied.
He kissed the woman's forehead and was moved: "Whether it's Lafite from 1982 or Lao Baigan who was beaten on the roadside, as long as I can be with you, it's a classic."
Maybe it was because Shangguan Yu owed so many sweet words to Meng Yu in the past that his mouth felt like it was covered with honey all the time now, and those disgusting words of love made the woman's heart become full of joy and her face turned red.
Rao Mengyu shyly pushed Shangguan Yu away and got into the kitchen.
"You go about your business, I'm going to make dinner."
Shangguan Yu looked at Rao Mengyu's back, and his heart was filled with happiness.
I really hope that time can stop at this moment, so that they can be happy forever...
Rao Mengyu was cooking dinner in the kitchen, while Shangguan Yu was sitting in the living room watching TV.
These days, the two of them are like conjoined twins, never separated for a moment. Shangguan Yu is like a piece of brown candy. Except when Rao Mengyu goes to the toilet, he basically sticks to her tightly the rest of the time, as if she is not alone.
If you follow her, she will suddenly run away.
The channel tuned on the TV happens to be an international music station, which specializes in reporting on the progress of some international music artists.
"Mr. Leon is an internationally renowned pianist. He was born in China and his Chinese name is Lin Mufan. Recently, this genius known as the Prince of Piano is about to return to his homeland..."
Shangguan Yu's fingers holding the water glass suddenly tightened. He squinted slightly and looked at Lin Mufan's elegant and handsome face on the TV screen. For some reason, he quickly turned off the TV.
In the kitchen, Rao Mengyu was sorting out the food ingredients for dinner.
Shangguan Yu usually has strict standards for his three meals a day. Because of his special status, he must ensure the safety of the food. People who are not trusted by Shangguan Yu cannot enter his kitchen at all.
Since Shangguan Yu is willing to let Rao Mengyu cook dinner for him, it shows that he has complete trust in Rao Mengyu.
And what Rao Mengyu wants is Shangguan Yu’s trust!!
The woman turned her head and looked outside the kitchen. After making sure that no one was there, she suddenly took a packet of white powder from somewhere.
Rao Mengyu looked at the bag of white powder, and then at the fresh basil and celery soup simmering in the pot. Her hands were shaking, and she was reluctant to pour the white powder in.
"What are you still hesitating about? Rao Mengyu, now is a good time for you to take revenge!!"
Deep in my heart, a voice said to Rao Mengyu.
"Let's wait a little longer. What if he finds out?"
Another voice advised.
"ah!!"
Just when Rao Mengyu was in agony and hesitating, Shangguan Yu suddenly hugged the woman from behind and said affectionately.
"Are you okay? I'm so hungry!!"
"You scared me to death!!"
Rao Mengyu yelled angrily, and the white powder in his hand suddenly spread all over the floor.
She panicked and said: "Get out now, I haven't finished it yet!!"
"It doesn't matter, you do yours and I'll see if there is any impact on mine."
Shangguan Yu didn't notice anything unusual, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with the pile of white powder on the ground. He thought it was flour crumbs needed for some Western-style pastries. He might never have imagined that these so-called flour crumbs were deadly poison that could make him bleed.
!!
Rao Mengyu was not as free and easy as Shangguan Yu. Although she tried her best to stay calm, her body could not stop shaking.
"Oh, you're about to go out. I'm really not used to people watching, so I'll act abnormally. Get out!!"
With that said, Rao Mengyu waved her hands and pretended to be calm and drove Shangguan Yu out of the house, looking like a shy woman.
Seeing this, Shangguan Yu couldn't help but leave.
"Hurry up, I'm so hungry!!"
"Well, I know, I will definitely give you a full meal when the time comes!!"
After Shangguan Yu went out, Rao Mengyu was still in shock. She glanced at the white powder on the ground, and then quickly rubbed it away with her feet.
After a while, dinner was ready.
Shangguan Yu was like a kindergarten child waiting for the teacher to give out sweets. He sat obediently on the dining table and watched with a smile as Rao Mengyu fiddled with things.
"Oh, I can't believe I have such a perfect wife!"
Rao Mengyu rolled her eyes at the man, laid out the checkered tablecloth, lit candles, put on the cold dishes, took two tall wine glasses, and poured her commoner red wine.
"You can't tell that my dear wife is quite romantic. I really love you more and more."
"There are still many things you can't see."
"Yeah, I'm just blind. Why didn't I find you so perfect before?"
Speaking of the past, the atmosphere was a little awkward.
Neither of them wanted to recall that past.
"Ahem. Okay, let the past go. The point is that we have to enjoy the present!!"
Shangguan Yu said with emotion.
Yes, enjoying the present is the most important thing, everything else is just smoke and mirrors, not worth affecting the lives of two people.
After dinner, the two hugged each other and danced.
Rao Mengyu couldn't dance, so Shangguan Yu patiently taught her little by little.
In the soft light, everything becomes hazier and more beautiful than it originally was.
Rao Mengyu lay on Shangguan Yu's shoulder. From being unfamiliar at the beginning to becoming more proficient now, she felt that the waltz was the easiest and most romantic dance step in the world.
"You know? I used to see you dancing like this with other women, and I secretly fantasized about such a day."
Rao Mengyu closed her eyes and recalled many things in her mind, as if she was having a long-lasting dream.
"I'm sorry for making you suffer so much. I swear that from now on, you will be my only woman. I will love you and be good to you forever!!"
"Don't promise me anything. Promises can never compete with time."
Rao Mengyu said softly: "I don't want to promise, I just want now!!"
Yes, now, at this moment, he only has her, and she only has him!!
"I'm going to take you somewhere."
Shangguan Yu suddenly said to Rao Mengyu, the woman still had infinite nostalgia. She opened her misty eyes, looked at the man's handsome face in the candlelight, and asked confusedly: "What?"
"Come with me, I will show you my past, present, and future!!"
He really loved this woman so much that he felt comfortable telling her everything about him, including his wounds that no one could touch. He felt that she needed to know.
--------About half an hour later, Shangguan Yu drove Rao Mengyu to a place where the woman was completely unfamiliar.
What appeared in front of Rao Mengyu was a castle-like building. The key was that this building was not made of white walls and red bricks. It... it turned out to be a castle carved from ice!!
"this......"
"Get out of the car and let me take you to see my past. I hope you won't mind too much!"
"Of course not. It's so beautiful here. Are they all carved out of ice?"
Rao Mengyu showed the side of a little girl. She looked at every part of the building curiously. Whether it was the roof, the walls, or the door, they all had different shapes, and under the neon lights, they showed different shapes.
The colors are really more beautiful than those in fairy tales.
"This... how did you do this? It's so cool, so beautiful, like a fairy tale!!"
She raised her head, looked at the huge building in front of her, and couldn't stop praising it.
Shangguan Yu calmly held Rao Mengyu's hand and pushed open the door of the ice sculpture castle.
"As long as you have money, there's nothing you can't do. Come on, follow me in!"
