Chapter 12: Chapter 12 Worse Than Crying_1

“Yun Hao, who for many decades was accustomed to keeping a cold expression, was perhaps even more dreadful when he laughed than when he cried!

‘Yun Hao, do you like me?’ Meng Yunhan asked, her pretty eyes glistening as she gazed at him, hoping to hear his answer.

Actually, she was unsure whether Yun Hao had liked her in the past. But if he didn’t, why was it that they got married as soon as she suggested it?

Just a couple of days later, they had their wedding ceremony.

Moreover, a number of things were prepared in advance.

In her previous life, she had two marriages. The first was to Yun Hao. For a chance to return to the city, she heartlessly aborted their child. Her second husband was a business associate. They were both not young anymore and were playfully nudged together by a friend. However, due to her heavy workload, their time together was short. They hadn’t had any children when she found out that she was the problem. Not long after, they divorced.

Despite her two marriages, she had never truly experienced love.

She wanted to know whether Yun Hao agreed to marry her right after she proposed because he liked her.

She was also anxious: if another girl had proposed to Yun Hao, would he have married her instead?

To her, love was a distant concept. She felt no love, let alone passion, towards Yun Hao.

Staring into her bright eyes, Yun Hao just looked at her disinterestedly and said, ‘Go to sleep.’

Feeling disappointed, Meng Yunhan said nothing more, and the atmosphere instantly grew oppressive.

Yun Hao could sense her disappointment, but he wasn’t sure how to comfort her or how to even say those words.

He simply couldn’t get the words out.

All he could do was to hold her closer, expressing his feelings through actions rather than words.

But Meng Yunhan, her eyes tightly shut, seemed to have blocked out everything.

Was she overthinking this?

Considering the sum of her ages in this life and the previous one, she was like an old granny. Why was she still so engrossed in these love affairs? She was truly an incurable romantic.

Perhaps his embrace was too warm, or perhaps she had reached enlightenment, but she peacefully fell asleep in his arms.

Alas, Meng Yunhan missed out on Yun Hao whispering into her ear, ‘How could I marry you if I didn’t like you?’

It was his appreciation for freedom that resulted in him getting married only when he was approaching thirty.

Making him ten years older than Meng Yunhan.

By the time Meng Yunhan woke up again, it had already started getting dark outside. She hastily got up from her bed.

She put on her cotton dress, cotton pants, and cotton shoes, and headed outside.

A glance at the clock made her realize that she hadn’t begun preparing dinner yet.

As she reached the door, she stopped in her tracks, suddenly remembering Yun Hao. Why wasn’t he in their room?

She entered the main room, and found Yun Hao chatting with his parents. Embarrassed at her sudden appearance, she instinctively apologized, ‘I’m sorry, I overslept.’

Mother Yun, seeing her daughter-in-law apologize once again, understood her dilemma and wasn’t annoyed at all.

‘Hanhan, come and eat. I asked Ahao to wake you up, but he said you were too tired from working yesterday and cooking noon meals today. He wanted you to sleep longer.’ Mother Yun was very friendly to Meng Yunhan.

Meng Yunhan felt a bit uncomfortable with this. In her previous life, her mother-in-law found faults with her and used to oppress her. Now, in this life, she’s being so friendly…It was something she wasn’t completely accustomed to yet.
