29 TIT FOR TAT PART 2 (1/2)

Xue Lin frowned. 'No, no, I cannot be swayed by his attractive face. But it's not that his face is making me like this… it's just his calm demeanor. His serene look and his mysterious grey eyes… Wait for a second, have I become a poet? I guess marriage does change people.' She gave it a serious thought and nodded.

Ge Chen's eyes were following her all the time. He was curious about what she was thinking about so earnestly. ”What are you thinking?”

Xue Lin's frown deepened as she answered, ”I'm changing already.”

Ge Chen narrowed his eyes. His thick, long eyelashes reflected on his clear eyes. He looked even more gorgeous when he did that. ”Is that a bad thing?”

Xue Lin shared her views. ”I just realized that we love changing the things around us, but we don't want to be changed.”

Ge Chen blinked. He wasn't sure why she said that. ”Isn't that given? We love ourselves more than we love others.” That's the truth. Sometimes, we say that we love others, we want the best for others; but when we have the time to choose, we choose what's best for us. However, there are cases when some people choose what's best for others. People like that deserve respect.

Xue Lin explained her way of doing things. ”But I don't mind learning something new and changing a bit though. I'm sure I love myself more than anything else.”

'So, that's why she talked about people who don't want to be changed. She is truly remarkable.' Ge Chen felt that he made the right decision to choose her. 'She is very intriguing.' He looked at the blue sky covered with white clouds. ”Doesn't it make you wise? You know what you lack and you are trying to improve yourself…”

Xue Lin smirked. ”I never said that I only learn good things.” If she can learn good things, she can learn the bad things as well. Therefore, no one should jump to the conclusion of just hearing a few lines. That's what she meant.

Ge Chen closed his eyes and felt the soft breeze. He spoke in a low tone, ”I'm not blind. Someone like you who loves herself dearly can't possibly want to harm yourself. You have a clear judgment between right and wrong and you chose the right path as you know that this way you won't get hurt. That's why you are still on the right path despite seeing wealth and luxury. If you are not wise, who is?”

'How long has it been since someone close to me praised me like that? Wait! He is not close! Although he is my husband, we are only acquaintances. I shouldn't get my hopes up so easily. From my observation, men are always sweet at first but slowly they reveal their true self once everything is under their control.' Xue Lin said, ”That's the greatest compliment I get on my wedding.”
