541 Domestic Wife (2/2)

”However, I really don't mind being your little wife. At least, I'll be able to stick to you.”

Ying looked at his face making him fidget for some reason. She was really amused seeing him acting so cautiously and burst out laughing. Hearing her laughter, he smiled again instantly and felt his heart easing up. He really didn't mean to upset her. That could never be his intention. He honestly just wanted to make her laugh and he accomplished his goal.

”You're really amusing,” remarked Ying.

”Is that a good thing or a bad thing?” inquired Han Bohai worriedly.

”I don't know,” answered Ying honestly. ”But I do know that you certainly have a way to capture my attention.”

Han Bohai eased up again, ”Then it's okay. As long as it works on you.”

”Were you always like this?” Ying couldn't stop herself from asking this question she had been meaning to ask from a while now.

He rubbed his chin thoughtfully before shaking his head. ”I actually had a very bad temper. I think this friskiness is because of Sister Xiu's influence.”

Ying raised her brows as she inquired, ”Was she also this exuberant?”

”She seemed like a cautious person but in fact, she was a very reckless person. Where no one could see, she was really just a carefree little girl bouncing around.”

”So, she passed it on to you?”

Han Bohai rubbed his nape as he answered sheepishly, ”It seems like it.” He took a pause before adding, ”My uncle says her death brought a lot of change in me.”

”Death really leaves a bitter mark in one's life. I understand that very well.”

”Did you also lost someone?”

Ying didn't know what to say. She had lost quite a few people. Whether it was losing someone to death or seeing friends turning to strangers. She had gone through all of that. So, it was hard to say in the end what or who did she really lose? Because in her heart, she knew that the only person she lost was herself.

Han Bohai took her silence as a silent agreement but didn't probe. He placed his hand over hers on the table and smiled, ”You don't have to recall that. Now, you can just focus on me. Because I won't be going anywhere. How will I survive without my Ah Ying?”

Ying was suddenly startled as she looked at him incredulously. ”What did you just call me?”

”Ah Ying...” His voice was low, deep and it struck something within her heart.

While Ying was trying to settle her thoughts, her phone's ringtone saved her from her inner turmoil of emotions. However, when she looked at the called id, her eyes flashed with a deeply buried sadness mixed with sourness.
