"Ok, no problem." Su Yuchen shrugged. "If you don't want the ice-cream then I will have it. I have heard that this ice-cream shop sales the most delicious ice-cream in the city."
Su Yuchen opened the ice-cream tub and placed it in front of the eyes of Xin Mei.
"Doesn't it look delicious...." Su Yuchen squealed like a girl and licked his lips. "It also smells delicious."
Su Yuchen dug a spoof in the ice-cream and had it. He made a lot of m.o.a.ns. He dramatically licked his lips. From the corner of his eyes, he could see the expression of Xin Mei who was looking at ice-cream tub with greedy eyes.
His plan was working!
"Yum...yum…wife. This ice-cream is so delicious. Yum…yum...I…" before he could complete, the ice-cream tub was snatched from his hand. The spoon was also gone.
"Jerk." Xin Mei glared at him and started to have ice-cream. She savoured each spoon of ice-cream and Su Yuchen smiled widely.
He started the car and made his way towards his home. In his way, he brought a bouquet of flowers, a balloon, and a big teddy bear for his wife.
Xin Mei didn't say anything to him but he knew her anger was melting because she had accepted his gifts.
They reached home where Xin Mei reluctantly stepped out from the car. She was still glaring at Su Yuchen but he ignored her glares.
"Wife." He forcefully wrapped his arms around her waist. "I know you are angry with me. Please forgive me. I promise to never get angry with you. I know you tried to mollify me but I was being a jerk. I am very sorry. Please forgive me."
"I have planned a surprise for you I hope you will forgive me after seeing my surprise."
Su Yuchen pulled Xin Mei inside the house. Xin Mei didn't protest and entered inside the house with him. Su Yuchen sighed when he saw her following him.
They entered inside the house and Xin Mei gasped in surprise when she saw the whole house was decorated beautifully with flowers and candles. She could inhale minty air around herself.
"Wife," Su Yuchen leaned down in front of her. He took hold of her hand.
"I know our marriage wasn't a normal one, nothing is normal in it. We married so quickly and I got angry with you. Instead of showing you my love, I showed you my anger and your husband is very sorry."
Xin Mei looked at Su Yuchen who was bowing down in front of her. She never thought that a man like Su Yuchen would ever bow in front of her. She could feel happy tears in her eyes.
"Wife, I promise to never get angry with you. Please forgive me. Please don't leave me. You are my family and I can't bear your absence from this house or my life. Please forgive me."
"Ok, I will forgive you but next time if you dare to get angry…."
"I will never get angry with you. I swear. I have received my lesson. I can bear your mistakes but not your anger. Please forgive me."
"Ok."
Su Yuchen smiled when he heard Xin Mei. He also took a deep breath. At least she didn't stay angry on him for longer.
"Wife, let's start from the beginning. Let's start our marriage relation like a normal couple. Let's forget about all our hesitations. Let's open our hearts for one another. Wife, will you accept my wedding ring?"
Su Yuchen opened the ring box which held her marriage ring which she had removed earlier in the morning.
"This pair of wedding rings belonged to one of the historical couples. It is believed their love was very strong. They faced a lot of problems in their marriage life but still stayed together. They never left one another. I also want our marriage to be like this. I want to stay beside you."
Xin Mei listened to Su Yuchen and now understood why those rings looked a little old. Guess what, they were historical memory!
Don't know how much money he had spent to acquire these rings!
"Xin Mei, I want to be your better half. I want to be a part of your happy and sad moments. I want to have many grandchildren with you…."
"Stop talking now." Xin Mei chuckled and placed her hand in front of him. "And make me wear my wedding ring. I can't wait to have a perfect marriage life with you."
Su Yuchen chuckled and pulled the hand of Xin Mei. He placed the ring in her fingers and smiled brightly.
She was his wife!
"It's beautiful." Xin Mei grinned and looked at the ring with appreciation.
"More than the ring, you are beautiful."
Xin Mei blushed when she looked in the eyes of Su Yuchen who was looking at her intently.
"Come, wife, I am sure you are hungry."
Su Yuchen placed his hand on her shoulder and took her to the dining table. He made her sit on the chair and went to bring the warm food.
Xin Mei looked at the dining table which was decorated beautifully with candles and flowers. She looked at her wedding ring which was shining brilliantly in the candlelight.
Su Yuchen returned with food and placed it on the table. He took his seat beside Xin Mei. She took his hand with the wedding ring in hers and looked at the ring with awe. Both the rings were looking so similar under the candlelight.
"I have heard that both rings were carved from the same diamond stone. Also, the carvings are similar."
Su Yuchen informed and Xin Mei smiled. She could feel her heart skip a beat whenever she glanced at their rings.
She was married to the best man on this earth. He had some disqualifies but she could manage them!
**
Su Yuchen served their plates. He smiled whenever he saw the dreamy smile on the lips of Xin Mei. He felt glad that Xin Mei liked the ring which he had given to her.
He wanted to gift a special ring to his wife. He had searched so much before someone informed him about this pair of rings which was being auctioned in Italy. He didn't lag in purchasing it. He didn't care about the huge chunk of money which he had spent in purchasing it.
"Wife, stop looking at the ring and have some food."
Su Yuchen placed chopsticks in front of her mouth. She tried to hold on the chopstick but he glared at her.
"Can't you eat food from my hand?"
Xin Mei shook her head and took chopstick in her mouth. She looked at Su Yuchen who was carefully picking up the food from the plate and was making her eat it.
"You cooked dinner?"
"Nah, you think I can cook so delicious food?" he chuckled. "I ordered it. Besides, I didn't want the blunder from last night. Frankly, the food was very salty."
Xin Mei cackled when she heard him. Last day, she had made the worst dinner of her life. She didn't know how she could do such a silly mistake.
"Stop thinking about the blunder from last day and have food."
Su Yuchen poked her and placed chopstick in front of her mouth. Xin Mei felt like a baby who was lovingly fed by her parents.
She looked at him who was feeding her only. She noticed he hadn't taken a single bite of food. So with much hesitation, she took chopstick in her hand.
Su Yuchen smiled when he looked at the chopstick with a dumpling which his wife had placed in front of his mouth. He opened his mouth and took chopstick in his mouth.
Both husband and wife had their dinner while feeding one another. Xin Mei could confess that somewhere his anger had brought them closer. Now she wasn't much hesitate around him the way she was a few days back.
She could feel a change in her views towards him. She realized that Su Yuchen had become an important part of her life and she couldn't see him angry on her. She also realized she wanted to be pampered by her husband.
Su Yuchen also felt the same. His wife had opened up to him. Otherwise, she wouldn't have dared to wear that red dress, the last day she wouldn't have tried to mollify him.
He could also feel a shift in his feelings. He knew he was falling more and more for her and he couldn't wait for the day when she would also have strong feelings for him.
They could remember the phrase, 'what happened always happened for good.'
And now the incident of their anger had brought them closer.
