She Becomes Glamorous After The Engagement Annulment Ⅱ - Chapter 1419

Chapter 1419: Nianyao and Mo Xicheng (92)

He was stunned as he stared at the tear drop that had fallen on the ground. Then he looked at Li Shu with an expression of disbelief.

Since more than twenty years ago, when she found out about his affair with Yao Lili, she had been giving him the cold shoulder.

Sometimes, he had wished she would talk to him, but mostly she ignored him. They stayed together as a family under one roof, but they had lived their lives apart for more than twenty years.

It had been that many years.

He had worked hard to make her happy, hoping to win her back, but Li Shu was a firm and persistent person who couldn’t be moved.

This was the first time in more than twenty years that she had shed a tear in front of him.

He gulped and stared at her, suddenly fumbling and not knowing what to do.

He extended his hand and wanted to place it on her shoulder, but suddenly remembered that in the past, whenever he had tried to make physical contact with her, she would violently reject it with a look of disdain in her eyes.

Hence, even as he reached out to touch her shoulder, he did not make that final contact.

He withdrew his hand carefully, as though afraid to alarm her. After a long pause, he said, “Li Shu, don’t cry. Tell me what you want me to do so that you will stop crying. Just tell me and I’ll do anything for you so that you’ll stop crying. Li Shu.”

Li Shu couldn’t help turning around when she heard his tentative plea. When she looked into his aged face, for some odd reason, the normally strong and cold woman reached out and embraced her husband.

Mo Hai froze. He didn’t dare to move. He didn’t even believe this was really happening.

His arms hung by his sides stiffly as Li Shu embraced him.

He could feel her restlessness. Finally, he carefully spoke and asked, “Li Shu, what- what’s the matter?”

She sniffed once and then withdrew her hands.

Mo Hai hurriedly searched through his pockets, but they were empty. He said, “Li Shu, wait here for a moment.”

He turned around and dashed to the front desk to ask, “Excuse me, do you have some tissues?”

The person replied, “Yes, please, hold on.”

Just as he took the tissues, he realized that Li Shu was standing by the elevator. When she was crying, he had noticed the elevator had been on its way up, so given her personality, he was quite sure she would have left by the time he returned with the tissues.

When he hurried back to the elevator with the tissues in his hand, he saw that she was still standing there.

Immediately, a joyful expression flashed across his face. He quickly walked up to her and gave her the tissues. Then he said to her gently, “Here, dry your tears.”

There were stirred emotions and a gladness in his voice that he did not realize.

She looked at the tissue and, after a moment, reached out for it.

She dried her eyes and remained silent for a long time. Finally, she said, “Mo Hai, let’s have a chat.”

Let’s have a chat.

The man’s eyes teared up almost immediately.

He had waited for these words for more than twenty years.

And he had spent the most splendid years of his life waiting for these words.

He couldn’t help his eyes reddening. He nodded and said, “Sure, let’s have a chat. Let’s have a good chat. Where shall we go for a chat? Right here?”

Li Shu shook her head and said, “Let’s go to the Scarlet Cafe.”
