Chapter 80 - Even if my heart forgets, my soul will remember you (1/2)

Years pass by like breezes. Things have changed drastically.

10 years ago, the empress was found hanging in her chamber after Wu Yixing revealed the truth. Her son was ostracized and removed from the position of the crown prince. The emperor asked Wu Yixing to retake the position of the crown prince. Wu Yixing rejected the emperor's offer to live his peaceful life with his wife who was now pregnant.

Li Jun comes back after the war. He visits Wu Yixing first. Wu Yixing welcomes his old friend with happiness. Wu Yixing's place is no longer the same. Her two daughters are born with special abilities like their mother. His 9 years old daughter can talk to plants while his 6 years old daughter can make it rain anytime she wants. Both are taught to hide their abilities by Yoori. Luckily, none of them have the ability of time-traveling.

”Did she...?” Li Jun asks Yoori with a low voice.

Yoori smiles at him. ”She didn't come to see me.”

Over the years, Li Jun couldn't forget that witch once. If he says that he doesn't know the reason, he is only fooling himself. He's breathing, but there is no life. He can see the sunlight, but there is no light in his eyes.

The emptiness grows like a demon and whispers to him every day, 'It's your fault. You shouldn't have left her that day. You should have held her in your arms and tell her how much you need her to live.'

”Li Jun, I believe that she's fine wherever she is,” Yoori tells him with blind faith. ”I believe in her abilities. She will do fine. I am sure that she wanted you to live happily. You should stop looking for her.”

The words are vain and ineffective. Li Jun leaves Wu Yixing's house quietly.

At night, Wu Yixing sits beside his wife. She is writing something in her diary. He can't understand the language. His wife hasn't revealed anything about her origin. Sometimes, he wonders if she will also disappear like Mo Wei.

He wraps his arm around her waist. ”Qian'er, will you tell me your real name?”

Her hand pauses on the paper. She looks at him, frowning. ”I didn't tell you yet?”

He looks at her with disbelief. ”When did you tell me?”

She scratches her head foolishly. ”Did I do it in a dream?”

He shakes his head at her. Sometimes, his wife acts like an idiot. ”You never told me. I was going to use a truth potion on you.”

She scowls at him darkly. ”I would use my third ability on you and find out your every indecent act that you did before our marriage.”

She never lets go of his past. He puts his palms together. He can't offend this woman. ”I apologize. If I had known that I was going to marry you, I would have never done it.”

Yoori takes a long glance at him with a stern face. Her temper simmers down when she sees him smiling at her like a little kid. She has spent 10 years with this man. He manages to melt her heart like this.

Her time-traveling ability is also returning. If she wants, she can leave him. If she travels far in the future, she will be in the burned-out state again. Returning to him will be difficult.

”If I had known that I was going to be your wife, I would have found you sooner,” She chuckles lowly. Her niece knew that she would find happiness with Wu Yixing. ”I will trust her to inform my mother about my decision.”

Wu Yixing raises his brow. ”Where is my mother-in-law?”

”You really want to know?” She looks into his eyes. ”I will tell you then.”

Yoori tells him everything. Her real name. The time-traveling. The mess that she created. Mo Wei's real identity. The only thing that she doesn't reveal is that Li Jun is a host of an anchored timekeeper.

Wu Yixing listens to everything quietly. He has known that she is not an average woman. Their children aren't average either. Wu Yixing believes that his wife is his fortune.

”If you had not appeared in my life, I would have died as a misfortunate man.” Wu Yixing kisses her softly. ”Will you hate me if I say that I am happy because you had to leave your time and escape here?”

He's also happy that Kyuri gave him a hint before she left. Because of Kyuri and Li Jun, he met his wife.

”You are the type who will be happy when others are misfortunate.” She pretends to be angry at him.

Wu Yixing moves away from the strands of her hair from her face. He looks into her sparkling eyes. ”Yoori, did I ever mention that I love you?”
