Being A Shrew to My Ex-Husband After Our Divorce Chapter 415 - Everything Was Worth It

Wei Zhou regarded Su Yan, his voice trembling. “I know I shouldn't be bothering you at this moment. I realize this action will only intensify your hatred for me, but ever since that day we parted ways at the boxing gym, I've been losing my mind. I even entertained the thought of binding you to my side, though I ultimately dismissed it. My love for you prevents me from causing you harm. When you fought me that day, it was clear you intended to end things, drawing a definitive line between us from then on. I considered granting you freedom, but only because I mistakenly believed you were going to marry Yue Chuang, convinced you had truly fallen for another man. The irony is, I've only just learned the truth: you're not marrying Yue Chuang, nor are you in love with someone else.”

As Wei Zhou concluded his fervent speech, his voice escalated. Gripping Su Yan's shoulders firmly, his expression earnest, he confessed with palpable excitement, “Su Yan, I am consumed by regret and pain. My self-blame is immense. I failed to cherish you during our three years of marriage. But now, I understand my error. I have genuinely fallen in love with you and yearn to be reunited. Before meeting you, the concepts of love and marriage were insignificant to me.”

Upon hearing Wei Zhou's declaration, Su Yan's face drained of color, though a smile touched her lips. “Hmph, Wei Zhou, spare me. Why must you dramatize your feelings for me so intensely? It seems you're still involved with that other girl, aren't you?”

Immediately after speaking, Su Yan berated herself internally for her foolishness. Why had she brought up that girl so carelessly? Wasn't it obvious to Wei Zhou that this matter affected her?

Wei Zhou inquired, “Su Yan, do you even know who she is?”

Su Yan simply raised her eyebrows, indifferent to the identity of the woman or the desire to know. Anyone she might be would only bring her pain. She thrashed with all her might, desperately trying to break free from Wei Zhou's hold. “Wei Zhou, let me go!”

To her dismay, not only did Wei Zhou refuse to release her, but he tightened his grip. Su Yan, already unwell, lacked the physical strength to contend with Wei Zhou’s might, and was consequently pulled forcibly into his arms.

Wei Zhou then stated, “The woman you're referring to is actually my aunt.”

Su Yan responded coolly, “That has nothing to do with me.”

Wei Zhou insisted, “But you need to be aware.”

Su Yan struggled fruitlessly, finally conceding, “Fine, I understand now. Please release me immediately.”

Breaking free from Wei Zhou's embrace, Su Yan retreated to the bedroom, overwhelmed by discomfort and a desperate need for sleep. She returned to her bed, pulled the covers over herself, and within a minute, drifted off. Having taken cold medicine, she presumed a good sleep would suffice. However, reality soon proved her optimistic assessment wrong. While asleep, a profound chill enveloped her. She felt an urge to open her eyes, but found herself unable to. Her body felt unnaturally heavy, accompanied by an indescribable sense of malaise.

Abruptly, the sound of a door opening reached her ears. Soon after, she felt herself being lifted. Without opening her eyes, she recognized Wei Zhou by his scent. A surge of anger coursed through her; she desperately wanted to berate him and demand he leave. What business did he have barging into her room in the dead of night? Yet, Su Yan discovered her throat was too raw to even utter a sound.

Wei Zhou attempted to administer medicine to Su Yan several times, but each dose was met with vomiting. He then placed the medicine in his own mouth and, with his slightly cool lips, kissed Su Yan. In her dazed state, the faint chill provided a surprising sense of comfort.

Nestled in Wei Zhou's arms, Su Yan returned the kiss with desperate longing, finding a profound sense of ease in the embrace. Time, or rather, the duration of their kiss, became irrelevant. As the kiss eventually subsided, Wei Zhou tasted the lingering sweetness on Su Yan’s lips, a sensation that left him yearning for more. He wished they could remain in that moment forever.

Wei Zhou finally succeeded in parting Su Yan's lips, believing he had also unlocked the chambers of her heart. Their kiss, tender and deeply affectionate, prompted Su Yan to a profound realization: it wasn't that she lacked feelings for this man, but rather, she had consistently buried them deep within her soul.

The setting shifted to July, the occasion being Old Master Yue's birthday banquet.

Orchestrated by Yue Chuang, the celebration was exceptionally grand, drawing esteemed guests from far and wide to offer their congratulations. Just as Old Master Yue officially proclaimed Su Yan's complete reintegration into the Yue family as their cherished pearl, an even greater astonishment swept through the attendees. Su Yan, to everyone's shock, entered the grand banquet hall with Wei Zhou's arm linked through hers.

Wei Zhou's gaze was locked onto Su Yan's silhouette at this moment. After enduring considerable hardship and tribulation, his efforts to win Su Yan back had finally borne fruit. A sweet smile graced Su Yan's face throughout this reunion, her heart filled with profound happiness, a joy bestowed upon her by Wei Zhou. She never anticipated ultimately returning to this man's embrace. As they gazed into each other's eyes, a shared smile passed between them, affirming that all their trials had been worthwhile.
