My Evil Cinderella: Taming A Villainous Wife
Chapter 262
In the end, Lu Mello decided not to think of it. What if they would end up having another son? Then he had nothing to worry about.
"Let me help you put on the blindfold on again." He untied the clothing from around her neck.
"Fine, fine." She closed her eyes and let him put on the blindfold again.
A few minutes later, the car finally came to a stop, and the driver announced, "Sir, we''re here."
"Great!"
The driver went out to open the door for them. Lu Mello helped on putting on the gloves on his wife''s hands before he stepped out first before he assisted his blindfolded wife into getting out of the car.
"Am I allowed to take this off now?" She asked.
"Not yet."
He began leading her to the place he wanted to bring her.
It was chilly because of the cold winter air. They were both wearing thick clothes to at least help with the coldness. It was also thanks to the sunny day that lessen the chills brought by the salty winter air.
After a short walk, they finally arrived at the place and Lu Mello untied the blindfold from Shi Enxi.
Just as she expected, it was a place she knew well. It was the place he confessed during their past lives and also the place where they both died. Although, it was now different from how she remembered it.
There was now house and the cliff now has a terrace, overlooking the beautiful sea and to even make it safe, avoiding any accidents. The trees around sent their green glow into the ether, their calming perfume, their oxygen-enriched air.
"This..."
Lu Mello''s smile grew wide, "Come, why don''t we check the house?" He began leading her towards the small place.
The house was welcoming from the open door to the wide hallway. Upon the walls were the photographs of their children; Little Jade and Little Snow, so obviously so loved. The floor was an old-fashioned parquet with a blend of deep homely browns and the walls were the greens of summer gardens meeting a bold white baseboard.
As they brought her to the balcony, the banister was a twirl of a branch, tamed by the carpenter''s hand, it''s grain flowing as water might, in waves of comforting woodland hues. Under the lamp-shine, it was nature''s art, something that soothed right to the soul.
She stared at the flat sea that was stretched in all directions, the morning sun scattering diamonds across its surface. Seagulls wheeled overhead, carried by the cool ocean breeze.
Shi Enxi was astonished at the beautiful view in front of her that she wasn''t even able to say a single word ever since entering the place.
She finally snapped out from her trance and slightly turned her body to him and was about to say something but was surprised to see him kneeling in front of her.
As he opened the small box he was holding, she saw the same ring that he gave her during their past lives.
The band curved as three strands woven, almost as if they had grown together over time. The ring was the perfect blend of elegance and craftsmanship, a band of rose gold in the platinum with a diamond in the middle.
"Xi''er, will you marry me... again?"
Her eyes were wide enough as if they were about to fall out of their sockets. He definitely caught her by surprise this time.
Receiving no answers from her, Lu Mello decided to give her a small push, "Well? I thought that you want us to get married again?"
"I-I..." She stuttered. She was so surprised that she couldn''t even say a proper word. She pursed her lips and tried to calm her inner self. This time, she was about to open her mouth but Lu Mello caught her to it.
"Will you marry me?" He asked one more time.
She finally nodded her head as tried her best not to let her tears fall. She was blushing hard, "Y-yes!"
He inwardly sighed in relief. He actually felt a bit nervous still when he asked her the question even if they were already married. He never truly proposed to her back then, they directly married each other just like what happened in the past.
When Shi Enxi reminded him about his confession in this place, instead of confessing, he decided to propose in the same place instead.
He took the ring from the box and slipped it around her ring finger. He stood up and waited for her to give him a hug but instead, she ended up staring at the ring he gave her.
"..."
The ring was so pretty, it was just how she remembered it.
Just then, Lu Mello cleared his throat just to get her attention once again.
She raised her head to look at him and blinked a few times, "What?"
"Aren''t you going to... hug me?"
She blinked a few times and even tilted her head, "For what?"
This was truly unexpected! Aren''t women supposed to jump on their men''s arms after being proposed to?
She turned her gaze back at the ring, her eyes were sparkling in delight. "I have two custom-made rings now~" She muttered cheerfully.
Why was she giving her attention to the ring? He was the one who proposed to her, not the ring!
He grabbed her hand all of a sudden which made her look at him again.
"What?"
He opened his arms and pouted, "If you''re happy, hug me."
She raised a brow, "Why are you acting like a child. You''re a grown man for goodness sake!"
"..." Damn... She was not cute! Not cute at all!
He ended up sulking instead just like a dog with its ears and tail down. When Shi Enxi saw this, she sighed and finally gave in. She leaned forward and wrapped her arms around him.
He looked at her in confusion, "What are you doing?"
"Didn''t you want a hug?"
Well, he did but... Oh well. His little bad wife was someone who easily gets attracted to sparkly things so it can''t be helped.
A helpless smile appeared on his lips as he hugged her back, "I love you, Xi''er."
She blushed at his sudden words but it also made her smile. She rested her head on his c.h.e.s.t and replied, "I love you too..."
