Chapter 259 - 257. I Am Sorry II (2/2)

”..although she had done more than enough. So I beg you, General Di. Protect her to the best you can. I will entrust her to you.” Ah Ren said from the deepest of his heart.

From what Di Shang could see, Meiyun's existence to Ah Ren 's life was very special and irreplaceable that not everyone could understand the bond between them.

”Why do you care so much about her?” Di Shang asked sincerely.

Ah Ren's smile grew wider when the image of Meiyun grabbing his hand and pulled him out from the darkness that had swallowed him long ago. The cage that he made to distance himself from everyone around him. He locked himself up in his tiny space fearing to face the cruel world that he had been living before he met Meiyun, Hong er, and others.

”Because…she is the one who shows me the beautiful side of this world…” Ah Ren muttered under his breath but Di Shang could hear him clearly.

Di Shang didn't know what to say to reply to Ah Ren so he just stood silently without moving. A few seconds later, Ah Ren lifted his head up with a wide smile plastered on his face.

”General Di! You said that things are not really good today, is it because of Senior Meiyun?” to lighten up the strained atmosphere, Ah Ren decided to change the subject of their conversation.

Di Shang contemplated whenever he should tell Ah Ren or not. But then he thought that Ah Ren could be a really big help for him to get back with Meiyun. He regretted and felt guilty for his action and whatever he said to Meiyun previously. He wanted to apologize but didn't know the right way to do so.

”En,” Di Shang nodded his head.

”Can you tell me what happened? Maybe I can be a help.” Ah Ren inquired.

Di Shang sighed for the hundredth times when the rethought the conflict between him and Meiyun in their room not long ago.

”She...she never say anything to me or rely on me even once, it made me feel useless as a husband. Even when she knew that she was pregnant, she didn't even say a word to me. I know I am in the wrong for doubting her faith in me but I was so frustrated that I can't think of the words that I can say and what I am not supposed to say.” Di Shang massaged his forehead with his fingers.

Ah Ren placed his fingers on his chin while thinking of the best solution for Di Shang's current situation, ”Worry not, Senior Meiyun will never get mad at you because she truly loves you. It is just that she has this fear of burdening others for the problem that related to her, that's why she always hid her problems to herself.

I think just by talking to her properly, everything will be fine. But give her time to slowly open up, each people have a different way of thinking and for Senior Meiyun, she needs a quite long time to open up.”

Di Shang found Ah Ren's words made sense as the description of Meiyun was accurate. He took note in his head, he had to be patient if he wanted Meiyun to rely on him fully.

”Please don't blame Senior Meiyun, she has her own reason for her stubbornness.” Ah Ren tapped Di Shang's shoulder.

”I won't.” Di Shang gave him a slight nod.

”Well then, it is time for me to leave. I will leave this matter to you, General Di. I hope your dispute with Senior Meiyun can be solved finely.” Ah Ren waved his hand and disappeared into thin air.

Without further ado, Di Shang made up his mind and turned around to walk back to the chamber that he shared with Meiyun. Di Tian and Qatar who were listening to their conversation for the whole time quickly hid in the bushes. Di Shang walk passed by them and went directly to the door of his room.

Although he had braved his heart to gentlemanly apologies to Meiyun, his heart was still hesitant at the thought of whenever Meiyun was upset at him or not.

”Meiyun?” Di Shang called out softly as he carefully mended his way to the inner room of their chamber.

Hearing no response from the woman he was looking for, his heart grew anxious every second passed by. He quickened his steps and roughly opened the pearl curtain that separates the inner room and the outer room.

His eyes widened when he saw there was no one on the bed. The blanket was neatly folded on the bottom of the bed, there wasn't even a single wrinkle on the sheet. Then he heard a soft howl of wind came in from the window beside the bed, he lifted his head up to see the window was not fully closed.

Blood drained from his face as his lips trembled, ”Meiyun….”
