The pain that Mo Shitian felt was indescribable. Every drop of Ruyu’s tears pierced through his already damaged nerves like needles.
“Ruyu…”
‘Ruyu, I’m really sorry.’ The wish he had was so simple then. He just wanted to marry her and live a peaceful life. He had even thought of giving up the job he was proud of and simply live a plain and warm life with her and their children. He vowed to protect her and their children well…
But in the end, he lost her. He had never treated his children well either, even for a day.
He had failed to do everything that he promised. However, even so, he would never let go. Never…
“I know you are in pain. Me too. I will do whatever you ask me to, except leaving.” Mo Shitian whispered in her ears. He hated Ruhua!
He hated that she made Ruyu cry so much.
He was glad that Ruyu had lost her memories all these years. If she hadn’t, how was she going to live? At least, he was by her side now.
“Why are you so stubborn?” Su Ruyu asked while crying.
“The stubborn person is you. Your parents had forced you to leave me then, but you didn’t and would rather leave home instead. So, it’s impossible for you to leave me now. Su Ruyu, let me tell you. If you are sick of living in this world, I will gladly follow you to the other world,” Mo Shitian said solemnly. Su Ruyu froze…
‘What is he saying? This lunatic!’
“Scram!” Su Ruyu pushed him away, but Mo Shitian hugged her tightly. He wiped off her tears with his finger that was full of calluses. Mo Shitian couldn’t bear to see her bawl her eyes out.
“I won’t leave. From now on, I will stay within a meter away from you no matter where you go.”
Su Ruyu turned her head away and gritted her teeth. “Shitian, sometimes, I wish that you can love me less. Maybe, that could lessen our agony and burden.”
“Can you teach me how?” Mo Shitian looked right into her eyes and asked in a deep voice. “Teach me.”
Su Ruyu turned away and avoided eye contact. Mo Shitian’s anger rose gradually, and he turned her head back forcefully. “You know my personality. Don’t ever mention breaking up with me or leaving me again. Otherwise…”
He gnashed his teeth and looked at her. “I will send us all to hell, including the twins.”
“Mo Shitian, say it again if you dare!” Su Ruyu gritted her teeth.
“Don’t ever mention breaking up with me or leaving me again. Otherwise…” Before Mo Shitian could finish his sentence, Su Ruyu threw a punch on his stomach. “Lunatic. You are really fearless. Are you crazy?”
“Don’t you know that I’m mentally ill?” Mo Shitian stared at her coldly while pressing on his stomach.
Su Ruyu’s anger died down gradually. “How on earth have I met a crazy man like you!”
Mo Shitian stared straight at her in the eye. Su Ruyu face-palmed and said, “I’m tired. Please leave. I want to sleep.”
“I’m not leaving.”
Su Ruyu looked at him coldly. Mo Shitian said, “Let me tell you, Su Ruyu. I will finish the two of them if you dare to chase me off again next time.”
“…” Su Ruyu felt like slapping him. She couldn’t help but sneer coldly. “So? Do you think you have my weakness now? Try touching them if you dare.”
“Can’t I touch them? I almost killed them when they were young. What is there to be afraid of now? At most, I could die together with you. The four of us could reunite in hell without Su Ruhua. How great that is,” Mo Shitian said with a serious look.
Su Ruyu held her breath, speechless. How cruel and unbelievable a father must be to be able to say such things. But she knew that Mo Shitian, being a lunatic, could do it. She’d better not try to challenge him, or he would really show her how crazy he could be. Moreover, his illness hadn’t been cured yet. Things would go wild if he went crazy, and the children would be no match for him. It would be impossible for them to hide, like a mouse seeing a cat.
Su Ruyu looked at him for a long time without saying anything. She turned around and walked into the house. Mo Shitian followed her expressionlessly and closed the door behind him.
She couldn’t hold it in anymore and gave him another powerful punch. As usual, Mo Shitian didn’t retaliate. He let her hit him as many times as she liked as he had gotten what he wanted.
…
That night, there were many sleepless people in the Su’s mansion…
Ye Wei and Mo Jue tossed and turned until it was late in the night, but Mo Jue still couldn’t make sense of the situation. By the time he had almost been enlightened, Ye Wei was already worn out. She fell asleep while Mo Jue continued to toss and turn. He couldn’t sleep the whole night.
Eleven and Mo Ye couldn’t sleep either. ‘It is rare for Mo Ye to behave himself at night. He didn’t even try to get fresh with me.’ Eleven thought.
…
The next day, almost everybody woke up late, except for Ping-er, who was in a good mood. She discussed with Dana about what to cook for breakfast while Chu Li, Rong Yan, and the others gathered around, followed by Su Man and Bai Ye.
Eleven, Mo Ye, Ye Wei, and Mo Jue woke up late.
“Bai Ye, I can’t take it anymore. When can I have the surgery for my leg?” Ye Wei asked. The burning sensation on her leg whenever she put on medication was nothing. She was just very pissed off at how inconvenient the injury had made her.
“I think we’ll have to wait for a few more days.”
“You might have to wait until we have settled Kahn,” Su Man said.
Chu Li raised his eyebrows. “So, we’ll have to protect her like a national treasure now?”
“I don’t need you to protect me.” Ye Wei laughed. She looked around the room but didn’t see Mo Shitian, Su Ruyu, or Su Ruhua. A sudden hush fell over everybody.
“Did they fight yesterday?” Eleven asked anxiously.
Bai Ye shook his head while Su Man remained silent.
‘Have they made up with each other?’
Knowing what their master was like, it was a miracle that it had been so peaceful. Jason and the others looked at each other speechlessly. They couldn’t believe it. ‘Did the old witch manage to control her temper?’
After a while, Mo Shitian came. His gaze darkened when he saw that the table was empty. Dana hurried over to prepare breakfast for Mo Shitian. “Cook some hot porridge,” he ordered.
“Okay!”
Mo Shitian took a glance at everybody after Dana left. The Mo brothers kept silent. Daddy Mo stared at them and said, “Do you call yourselves sons? Why didn’t the two of you greet your mother in the morning?”
Both of their faces became contorted…
