Jiang Tingxia looked at Li Changpu's resolute eyes, she remained silent, and finally, she reached out to take off the veil on her face, she was so nervous that her fingers were trembling slightly.

The veil fell off, and her face was no longer covered at all. The ugly scars were exposed to the air. Jiang Tingxia even felt that the wounds on her face had not healed at all. They were still so painful that they could not be touched.

Jiang Tingxia raised her head. This was the first time she mustered up the courage to look Li Changpu in the eye with such a face.

"Li Changpu, look at me."

"Are you willing to face this face day and night?"

"You have to think clearly, can you really accept me as I am now?"

Li Changpu's gaze fell on Jiang Tingxia's disfigured face. The hideous scars were particularly glaring. He reluctantly looked away and looked into Jiang Tingxia's familiar eyes.

"I can accept."

Hearing this answer, Jiang Tingxia looked at Li Changpu's face, tears welling up in her eyes, "Why?"

"You feel sorry for me?" Jiang Tingxia paused, forcing herself not to back down or be cowardly, so she tried her best to look into Li Changpu's eyes and asked him in such an ugly way, "Or do you still love me?"

Li Changpu was standing in front of Jiang Tingxia, but he did not answer Jiang Tingxia's question. His face was tense and his dark eyes contained unpredictable emotions.

Jiang Tingxia's expectant expression froze on her face. She lowered her head and put on the black veil, covering her face and heart again.

"You go."

"I'll pretend you've never been here."

After Jiang Tingxia finished speaking, she turned around and was about to leave. She wanted to go back to her room and be alone.

Suddenly, Li Changpu strode over and hugged Jiang Tingxia from behind.

His arms tightly gripped Jiang Tingxia's waist, and his deep voice passed through Jiang Tingxia's bones and reached her ears.

"What about you? Do you love me?"

Li Changpu hugged Jiang Tingxia. The woman in his arms was very cold. He felt like he was holding a piece of emotionless ice. His heart even hurt so much that it was numb for a moment. He thought, no matter what tricks Jiang Tingxia wanted to play on him, at this moment, she should say what he wanted to hear.

Jiang Tingxia was crying, her tears fell on Li Changpu's hands, and Li Changpu heard her voice.

"The one I love is you."

"It's never changed."

Hearing her answer, Li Changpu's irritable heart found the long-lost peace and all the anger was smoothed out. He moved closer and his hot lips fell on the back of Jiang Tingxia's neck.

Li Changpu put his arm around Jiang Tingxia's shoulders and said with a sigh, "Stay."

His voice was low, like he was exhausted after struggling in despair, "I give in."

"I won't force you."

"You can do whatever you want," he begged, throwing away all his dignity, "as long as you don't leave me."

As long as Jiang Tingxia softens her attitude, what can he do to her?

Li Changpu closed his eyes tightly, looking as miserable as a stray dog, and even his voice was trembling, "Jiang Tingxia, don't run to a place where I can't find you. I will accept whatever you want. I beg you."

After Jiang Tingxia left, every moment they spent together tortured him madly. Li Changpu hugged Jiang Tingxia, feeling bitter in his heart.

"After you divorced me, I kept thinking about the time when we were still together. So many things kept running through my mind."

He paused, as if it was not easy to say these words.

"I know that I am a dull, old-fashioned man. After you married me, I didn't say sweet words to make you happy like other men do. I also always forced you to do things you didn't want to do and made many demands on you. I wanted you to go to the training base, take care of my eldest sister's children, get along well with colleagues and neighbors, be more obedient and sensible, and I wanted you to wear certain clothes and make certain friends. I always wanted you to listen to me. I knew you were unhappy, and I always made you angry at that time."

Li Changpu's voice was hoarse and low. "I have been wondering for the past two years whether I have asked too much of you and you are angry with me. You think I am nagging like a talkative old man, always lecturing you and you find me annoying, so you don't want me anymore."

Jiang Tingxia had already burst into tears. If Li Changpu's arms hadn't supported her body, she would have fallen to the ground.

Jiang Tingxia reached out and grabbed the big hand on her waist. Li Changpu felt his hand being held tightly by Jiang Tingxia. He grabbed Jiang Tingxia's waist and used his arm to turn Jiang Tingxia around. The next second, the two were looking at each other face to face.

Li Changpu moved anxiously as he took out a small red velvet box from his pocket with his right hand. It was a gift he had prepared for a long time but had difficulty giving away.

Li Changpu watched Jiang Tingxia open the box. His movements were clumsy due to his anxiety and urgency. Li Changpu held the box in front of Jiang Tingxia.

Through tearful eyes, Jiang Tingxia saw that it was a glittering pigeon egg diamond ring.

She covered her face in surprise.

Li Changpu looked at Jiang Tingxia and said, "We didn't have this when we got married. I promised you before that I would buy you a bigger and more beautiful one."

When Li Changpu mentioned this, Jiang Tingxia suddenly remembered that he had said he would buy her a diamond, but she had never taken it seriously and thought it was just a joke between the two of them.

The moment Li Changpu took out the ring, Jiang Tingxia burst into tears. He had never forgotten his promise to her. Did this mean that he had been waiting for her during the two years they had been apart?

Li Changpu looked guilty and regretful, "By the time I had the ability to buy it, you had already left. I was still a step too late."

"Before, I was not a qualified husband and I owed you a lot."

Li Changpu's eyes were obviously moist, "Ting Xia, give me another chance."

Li Changpu took the ring out of the box, placed it in Jiang Tingxia's palm, grabbed her hand and held it in her palm, forcing Jiang Tingxia to hold the ring no matter what, as if to express his love for her.

"I won't be the same as before. I will change."

"This time, I will definitely do my best and be the kind of husband that will satisfy you."

Jiang Tingxia finally cried bitterly and threw herself into Li Changpu's arms, hugging his waist tightly.

Half of Li Changpu's body was instantly numb from Jiang Tingxia's wholehearted embrace. He hugged the person in his arms back, and there was finally a glimmer of light in his eyes, like a ship that had been drifting in the vast ocean for a long time and finally found the direction to return home.
