My Lovely Wife is a Forensic Doctor - Chapter 142
Chapter 142 The Only Woman He Had Ever Loved
As Mu Yu opened the ring box, Qin Jinhuan quickly held her hand. “Yu…”
“No!”
It was as if his hand had thorns on it, for she took two steps back and hid her hands behind her.
Despite his touching words, she still hadn’t mustered the courage to believe that the wedding ring was for her. After all, he was with another lady a few hours ago, while wanting to divorce her. He changed his tune so fast that she wasn’t mentally prepared for what was happening.
At this moment, Qin Jinhuan’s hand froze in the air as he dejectedly said, “Did you reject me because you don’t trust my love for you? Or because you no longer love me?”
“Why would you carry a ring with you wherever you go?” She voiced up her bewilderment.
“Would you believe me if I said I prepared it for you?”
“Of course not,” Mu Yu honestly answered. “When we both were happy, you didn’t even give me anything. Now that we’re at each other’s throat, you gave me a ring for no good reason. Unless…”
“Well, I just realized how important you are to me. Are you satisfied now?”
“I don’t believe that. I don’t think you even… Hey! What’re you doing?!”
While she was questioning him, he forcefully pinned her to the wall and tried to grab her hand. “Give me your hand,” he demanded as she did not want to give in.
“No, I don’t want to put on this ring.”
“Do you want me to kiss you?” While saying that, he lightly nodded.
“Hey, are you not ashamed of yourself?!” With her back up against the wall, she quickly looked away to avoid his lips as she hid her hands behind her back.
Qin Jinhuan didn’t turn her face over. Instead, he squinted and stared at her for a few seconds. Then, he let out a mischievous laughter and slowly moved his arm away from her shoulder down her body.
“Hey! You…”
Oh God! Is he trying to…?
The panicked Mu Yu quickly covered her chest with her arms, only to fall for Qin Jinhuan’s trick as he soon grasped her right hand. She then felt something cold and circular sliding down her ring finger.
“It suits you perfectly.” He held her hand while admiring the ring on her finger with a smile.
Mu Yu furiously shook off his hand and questioned, “I didn’t even say yes. How dare you forcibly put this ring on my finger without my permission?”
“I don’t need your permission to give my wife a wedding ring.”
“What do you mean by that? The ring is on my finger! You’re violating my human rights!”
Despite her angry questioning, Mu Yu couldn’t bring herself to remove the ring. After all, it was something she had long been waiting for, but lacked the courage to even think about. Because of the difference between her expectation and the reality, she could not feel any romantic vibe in the scene.
Qin Jinhuan ignored her anger and placed his hands over her shoulders while laughing. “Great. We have now gotten our marriage certificate and a wedding ring. Therefore, we’re not much different from normal husbands and wives. So, what’s left now is for us to love each other for life.”
She bitterly stared at him. “Who promises to love you for life?”
“I left a mark on you. You’re not going to get away with it, for you only belong to me.” Upon saying that, he gently kissed her ring finger and held her hands tightly.
“There are no flowers, no pledge and no witnesses. And you want to keep me with just a ring? Hmph! It would be useless even if you left marks all over my body.”
“It would be useless even if I left marks all over your body? I guess I should try and see for myself.” He mischievously laughed and moved closer to her.
She glared at him with her eyes wide open and stepped on his toe as hard as she could.
“Ouch!”
“Hmph! If you ever dare have any more dirty thoughts, I wouldn’t go easy on you again!”
“Cutie.” He didn’t berate her for that, and neither did his face appear unhappy. Instead, he gently fiddled with her hair and suddenly pulled a straight face. “Alright, let’s knock it off and talk about something serious.”
While saying that, he took her to the couch and sat her down. Then, he showed her the receipt in the wedding ring box and pointed at the date while explaining, “Wen Zeyu picked this ring for me yesterday. My plan was to pick Yin Anran up from the hospital and find a time for us to talk before giving you the ring.”
“You didn’t prepare this for Yin Anran, did you?”
“Yu!” Qin Jinhuan appeared displeased. “Why would I prepare that for her? Didn’t I just explain the situation just now?”
“I… Alright, I guess I shouldn’t have doubted you. Because I still feel like…”
“Stop overthinking. This ring was prepared for you, but because I needed it in a rush, Wen Zeyu only managed to pick a small one for me. It might not be the most beautiful ring, but I dare say it’s the most expensive ring across all malls in An City. So, please keep it with you first. I’ll get you a bigger one soon.” He then pulled her into his arms. “You’re the only woman I have ever loved.”
“The only woman you have ever loved?”
He immediately corrected his words. “You’re the only woman that I love. It sounds better now, doesn’t it?”
“Well, it does, but…” Mu Yu hesitated and lightly pushed him away before showing him the ring on her finger. She then looked into his eyes and asked in a serious manner, “Are you sure you really love me?”
“Do you think I’d just give a ring to any woman?”
“I feel like I’ve been in a dream. A few hours ago, we were still talking about a divorce, for which I was drafting an agreement, yet you’re telling me now that we’re going to love each other for life. It all just seems confusing to me.”
“No, it’s not confusing at all. Because divorcing is never my intention.” He then continued to patiently explain, “If you still don’t trust me, then let me prove it with time. You just need to know that you’re the only woman in my heart.”
“Did you ever not fall for Yin Anjing? Because she changed herself so much to please you. More importantly, she was faithful to you.”
She wanted to know how he felt toward Yin Anran. After all, they were sisters who had too much in common, so she thought it was easy for him to grow attached to Yin Anran.
“I was touched, but never in love with her.”
“Not even one bit?”
“Not everyone can get what they want just by pleasing others, but of course…” He circled his arms around and continued. “If you changed yourself to please me, I’d surely satisfy your wishes.”
Upon saying that, he quickly kissed her forehead.
“Hey!” She covered her forehead. “I have no feelings for you.”
“Is that so?”
“Of course.” She refused to admit.
He didn’t mind, but instead laughed it off. “Never mind, as long as I have feelings for you.”
He was shrewd enough to see through her guilt and struggle.
Yet, it was only now that he realized how much pain his silence had put her through, causing her to struggle in placing her faith in him. Nevertheless, he would keep that in mind and earn her trust again with his actions.
“Hey, you…”
“Call me Huan.” He pondered and added, “You could call me darling as well.”
She shook her head in disagreement.
I still prefer calling you Beast Qin. She thought to herself.
“It’s okay, you’ll get used to it soon. Alright, it’s getting late. So, are we going to stay here for the night? Or do you prefer going home?”
“Here?”
It seems like no one has been living here for the past two decades. Is it even inhabitable? She bewilderedly gazed at her surroundings.
“Alright then. Let’s stay here for the night. I’ll get the blankets.”
“Hey, I didn’t mean here. What I’m saying is… Hey! What’s with the sudden kiss?!”
“That will be your punishment if you ever call me ‘hey’ again.”
“So what? Because I’m still going to call you…” Seeing his lips coming closer, she immediately covered her mouth.
“That’s my good girl,” he said while happily standing up.
She seized his arm and voiced up her concern. “It doesn’t matter even though it’s getting late. I’m not used to spending the night elsewhere. So, let’s go home.”
Somehow, she believed he would only take a blanket if they stayed. Although she was satisfied with what he had done for her earlier tonight, she was still reluctant to share a bed with him, and was even more worried about his ambiguous advances. After all, she was still not used to it.
“Sure thing. Let’s go home then.” After that, he carefully fastened every button on her coat. Holding her hand and placing his other hand over her shoulders, he gently took her outside with him.
As she felt the warmth from his fingertips, she didn’t say a word more, but instead followed behind his footsteps.
At this moment, she was reminded of the time when he was chased away from the Qin Family by grandpa. Those days were their most memorable moments that she had reminisced countless times on many quiet nights.
Although she still couldn’t believe in him, she decided to stop questioning his intention and feign her trust instead. After all, she enjoyed this feeling of mystery that kept her thrilled. Furthermore, his words and actions had spoken volume of his sincerity.
In fact, she didn’t turn him down because she was still hoping to give them both a chance to work things out. After all, he was always the one she loved the most in her heart, which she couldn’t bring herself to give up her love.
By the time the two of them were back home, it was already about 3 am.
Upon entering the room, Mu Yu couldn’t help but yawn while stepping into the bathroom to wash up. When she came out of the bathroom, she saw Qin Jinhuan sitting on the bed and waving at her.
As Mu Yu found the blanket missing from the couch, she instantly appeared unhappy. But before she could say anything, Qin Jinhuan explained, “Sleeping apart is bad for married couples.”
“But we…” Seeing the bolster lying in the middle of the bed just like before, Mu Yu didn’t say a word more.
“I’m going to take a shower now. So, please go to bed first. Don’t wait on me.” Qin Jinhuan then grabbed his night robe and went into the bathroom with a smile.
For the sake of their love and marriage, he was willing to give her time to get used to it.
After tucking herself in, Mu Yu silently stared at the dark glass wall, recalling what happened earlier tonight, which unknowingly put a smile on her face.
Feeling over the moon, she was unable to fall asleep, although it was getting late. However, she didn’t want Qin Jinhuan to see through her excitement and made light of that. Therefore, when she heard the bathroom door opening, she immediately buried her face under the blanket and pretended to be asleep.
She tossed and turned in her blanket until dawn when she finally dozed off. By the time she opened her eyes again, it was already two in the afternoon.
“Oh dear! Why didn’t my alarm clock wake me up?!”
She sprang out of her bed, but saw no signs of Qin Jinhuan. Therefore, she knew it was his doing that the alarm clock didn’t wake her. With no time to complain, she swiftly washed up and got changed before she proceeded to go out. Then, she ran into Qi Hao who was helping Qin Xiaozhi going upstairs, whom she just hastily greeted.
“Are you up? I bet you must be hungry. Qi Hao, please get Lan to prepare lunch for Yu.”
“Yes, boss.” Qi Hao turned around and went downstairs.
“Thank you, grandpa.” Mu Yu recalled what happened last night. After pondering, she directly asked Qin Xiaozhi whether he had spoken to Qin Jinhuan in these few days.
“What else is there for us to say to each other? Since the day we fell out, I’ve never spoken a word with him. I don’t think I can calm myself down if I see him.”
It seemed like he wasn’t pressured by grandpa to confess his love to me.
Mu Yu was delighted deep down. She then continued the pleasant conversation with grandpa and took him back to his room before she went downstairs.
After lunch, Qi Hao gave her a lift to Qing Tian Building, as she wished.
Upon arrival, Mu Yu didn’t go to Qin Jinhuan’s office although she missed him. Instead, she went straight to the meeting room to see her colleagues.
After work, she was on her way to the washroom before going home with Qin Jinhuan. Upon entering the washroom, she saw a few women whispering gossips. Nonetheless, she was uninterested in the content of their gossip, so she got over them to reach the cubicles. Suddenly, she subconsciously slowed down her pace as she heard them mention ‘Assistant Yin’. When she finally came to understand what they were gossiping about, she froze in her place with her eyes wide open.
