The president's wife wants to run away

Chapter 6 Reconciliation

“Nothing…Nothing…” Zhong Yuxuan responded in a panic from the other end of the line. Then there was a noise, and he seemed to walk away with the phone. “Dad, I have something else to do. I’ll hang up first.”

Beep, beep, beep... Before I could respond, the phone was hung up.

I sat on the bed, holding my phone tightly in my hand, feeling confused. The appearance of Mr. Zhong was like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing the hope that had just been ignited in my heart.

"What's wrong? Didn't he answer the phone?" Qin Xue asked with concern when she saw that I was pale.

I told her what happened just now. After listening to it, Qin Xue angrily slammed the table and said, "This Mr. Zhong is really something. It's such a bad thing. He still comes to make trouble at this time!"

I smiled bitterly and said, "Forget it, it's normal that he doesn't answer my call. After all..."

"What is that? You are his legitimate wife. Why wouldn't he answer your call?" Qin Xue interrupted me. "Luo Xue, you are too kind. That's why they bully you like this!"

I know Qin Xue is doing this for my own good, but I still can't let go of Zhong Yuxuan.

"Okay, don't think too much. There will always be a way out when you reach the mountain." Qin Xue comforted me, "It's getting late. You should go to bed early."

I nodded, and watched Qin Xue leave, but I couldn't fall asleep. I tossed and turned, replaying every moment I spent with Zhong Yuxuan in my mind.

The next morning, I received a phone call from an unknown number.

"Excuse me, is this Ms. Li Luoxue?" A strange male voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Yes, who are you?" I asked puzzledly.

"I'm Mr. Zhong's assistant. Mr. Zhong asked me to tell you that he will be waiting for you at the Blues Cafe at 2 o'clock this afternoon. I hope you can keep the appointment."

I was stunned. Mr. Zhong? Could it be... Zhong Yuxuan's father? Why did he ask me to meet him?

Although I was full of doubts and anxieties, I still agreed to the appointment.

At 2pm, I arrived at the Blues Cafe on time. To my surprise, the person sitting by the window was not Mr. Zhong, but Zhong Yuxuan. He was wearing a simple casual outfit today, less fierce than usual and more gentle.

"You...how come you are here?" I asked in surprise.

Zhong Yuxuan stood up, pulled out a chair and motioned for me to sit down, "I asked my assistant to invite you here."

After I sat down, Zhong Yuxuan pushed a cup of steaming cappuccino in front of me and said, "This is your favorite."

I looked at him in surprise, with mixed feelings.

"I...I don't know what to say..." I lowered my head, stirring the coffee in front of me, not daring to look at him.

"It's my fault. I have neglected you during this period and let you suffer." Zhong Yuxuan's voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of guilt.

I looked up and looked at him in surprise. This was the first time I heard him apologize so sincerely.

"I...I just..."

"I know, you just don't feel safe." Zhong Yuxuan interrupted me, "It's me who didn't give you enough sense of security."

I was stunned. How could he know?

"Did... Shuhao tell you?" I asked hesitantly.

Zhong Yuxuan shook his head, "No, I figured it out myself."

He paused, then continued: "During this period, I have been reflecting on myself and talked a lot with Shuhao. I found that I have always been too strong and too self-centered, and I didn't really understand you or care about you."

I looked at him in surprise. These words coming out of his mouth were so unreal, yet so moving... I was overwhelmed by his honesty. I didn't even dare to delve into the truth of his words. If this was just a dream, I hope I will never wake up.

"Luo Xue, give me a chance to love you well, okay?" Zhong Yuxuan's deep eyes locked onto mine, as if to suck me in.

I avoided his gaze in panic, my heart was in turmoil. His eyes were too hot, his words were too gentle, all of which made me feel unreal and scared.

"Yuxuan, don't be like this..."

"Luo Xue, I know you still love me, right?" Zhong Yuxuan suddenly held my hand. His palm was warm and dry, giving me an inexplicable power.

"I..." I wanted to deny it, but I couldn't say it.

Just then, the door of the cafe was pushed open and a familiar figure walked in.

"Brother, sister-in-law, you are all here!" Zhong Shuhao walked towards us with a smile, followed by Qin Xue.

"Shuhao, why are you here?" I asked in surprise.

"I asked him to come." Zhong Yuxuan explained calmly, "Today is our monthly family gathering, and I want you to come too."

I was stunned. Family gathering? I had never attended any of the Zhong family's family gatherings. I always thought that I was just an outsider, an outsider who could never truly integrate into his life.

"What? Don't you welcome me?" Zhong Shuhao asked with a smile when he saw me remaining silent.

"No, I just..."

"Just what? Are you afraid that my brother will bully you?" Zhong Shuhao teased, "Don't worry, he won't dare to do anything to you with me here!"

I smiled awkwardly, not knowing what to say.

"Okay, let's go." Zhong Yuxuan stood up, took my hand, and walked out the door.

His hands were warm and strong, but I felt a chill, as if a chill was running straight from the soles of my feet to my heart.

The party was held in the old house of the Zhong family, an antique courtyard filled with various flowers, plants and trees, and the air was filled with a faint fragrance.

Like a puppet, I let Zhong Yuxuan lead me through the garden and into the living room. The living room was already full of people, including Zhong's elders and Zhong Yuxuan's brothers and sisters. When they saw Zhong Yuxuan and I walking in hand in hand, they all showed surprised expressions on their faces.

"Everyone, let me introduce you. This is Li Luoxue, my wife." Zhong Yuxuan's voice rang out in the living room, clear and firm.

I raised my head and met pairs of curious, inquiring, and even scrutinizing eyes. My heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible big hand, making it almost impossible for me to breathe.

Zhong Yuxuan sensed my uneasiness, he gently squeezed my hand and motioned for me to relax.

"Today, I brought Luo Xue to everyone to tell everyone that I love her and I want to be with her forever."

His words were so powerful, like stones that stirred up thousands of waves in my heart. I never thought that he would introduce me to his family so frankly, and I never thought that he would say such affectionate words in front of everyone.

The gazes from all around me made me feel uneasy. I subconsciously tried to break free from his hand, but he held it tighter, as if to give me strength. I raised my head and met his deep eyes. The love in them was sincere and passionate, and I couldn't escape.

"Yuxuan..." I called his name softly, my voice trembling a little.

He smiled gently and said in a voice that only the two of us could hear: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

His words flowed into my heart like a warm current, dispelling all my anxiety and fear. I finally mustered up the courage, looked around, and looked at the unfamiliar faces. My heart gradually calmed down.

Although the elders of the Zhong family were a little surprised, they all smiled and gave their blessings when they saw Zhong Yuxuan was so determined. His brothers and sisters even started to make fun of him, teasing him to treat me well.

I was infected by their enthusiastic attitude, and my originally tense nerves gradually relaxed. I saw Zhong Shuhao and Qin Xue standing together, with sincere smiles on their faces, and they were happy for us.

At that moment, I suddenly realized that maybe I could really try to believe him and believe in this hard-earned love.

Seeing my expression ease, Zhong Yuxuan smiled gently. He took my hand and walked to the old man of the Zhong family. The old man looked at me kindly, patted the back of my hand, and said, "Child, welcome to the Zhong family."

His words were like a reassurance, which made me completely put down my worries. I felt that I was being accepted by this family, and I was willing to work hard to become a qualified wife for this acceptance.

"Thank you." I looked at the old man gratefully, my eyes slightly moist.

After the banquet, Zhong Yuxuan held my hand and strolled in the garden. The moonlight was as silver as silver, casting a soft glow, making our figures look particularly slender.

"Luo Xue, thank you for believing in me." Zhong Yuxuan stopped and looked at me affectionately, his eyes full of tenderness.

"Yuxuan, actually, I should thank you. Thank you for giving me a home." I snuggled in his arms, feeling his warm embrace, my heart filled with happiness and sweetness.

"Silly, we are a family." He stroked my hair gently, his voice low and gentle.

We hugged each other, felt each other's warmth, and enjoyed the tranquility and beauty of this moment. However, I know that life cannot always be smooth sailing, and the road ahead is still long, and we will encounter various difficulties and challenges.

But I believe that as long as we love and trust each other, we will be able to overcome all difficulties and spend our lives together.

After the banquet, Yuxuan and I seemed to have opened a new chapter in our lives. He was no longer as moody as before, but was caring and considerate to me. Every morning, he would get up early to prepare breakfast for me and then send me to work. After get off work, he would appear downstairs of the company on time to pick me up and take me home.

I know that he is trying hard to make up for the hurt he caused me before, and I am also trying to feel this belated tenderness with my heart.

One day, I was working overtime in the company when I suddenly received a call from Yuxuan.

"Luo Xue, where are you? I'm here to pick you up." His voice sounded a little tired.

"No need, I have to work overtime today, you can go to bed first." I said softly, but a warm feeling surged in my heart.

"No, it's not safe for you to go alone too late. Tell me the address and I'll be there right away." His tone left no room for doubt.

I couldn't persuade him, so I sent him the address. An hour later, he appeared at my office door with my favorite dessert in his hand.

"Why haven't you gotten off work yet so late?" He walked over to me, gently hugged me in his arms, with a hint of heartache in his tone.

"I have a lot of work today." I looked up and smiled at him.

"Okay, stop doing it. I'll accompany you." As he said that, he picked up the documents on my desk and began to read them carefully.

Seeing him so focused, I felt a warm current in my heart. At that moment, I suddenly felt that no matter how much work pressure I faced every day, as long as he was by my side, everything would become easier.

In this way, we spent many ordinary but warm days together. On weekends, we would go outing in the suburbs or go to the cinema to watch a romantic love movie. He would also accompany me shopping and pick out beautiful clothes and shoes for me.

I knew that he was loving me in his own way, and I gradually let down my guard and accepted him again.

However, the peaceful life was soon broken.

That day, Yuxuan suddenly told me that he wanted to take me on a trip to a beautiful place to relax.

"Travel?" I looked at him in surprise, "But it's company business..."

"I have arranged everything at the company. Let's relax during this time, okay?" He held my hand, his eyes full of anticipation.

I looked him in the eyes and finally nodded.

The destination of the trip was Maldives, a place known as "Paradise on Earth". As soon as I got off the plane, I was shocked by the beautiful scenery in front of me. The blue sky, clear water, white sandy beach, and lush coconut trees, everything was as beautiful as a painting.

Yuxuan arranged a luxurious sea view villa for me. The room was decorated romantically and warmly. Standing on the balcony, you can overlook the endless sea. The sea breeze blows gently, with a hint of salty taste, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.

"Do you like it here?" Yuxuan hugged me from behind and asked softly.

"I like it. It's really beautiful here." I closed my eyes and greedily breathed in the fresh air.

"As long as you like it." He hugged me tighter and whispered in my ear, "Luo Xue, thank you for giving me a chance to love you again."

His voice was low and hoarse, but full of sincerity and love. My heart, at that moment, completely melted.

During the few days in Maldives, we strolled on the beach together, enjoying the beautiful sunrise and sunset; we dived into the sea together, exploring the mysterious underwater world; we also took a yacht together, galloping on the sea to our heart's content...

Those days were the happiest time of my life. I seemed to have forgotten all my worries and sorrows and devoted myself to this relationship.

However, I didn't know that a bigger storm was quietly approaching... The golden sands, blue waters, and starry sky of Maldives all became the witnesses of the love between Yuxuan and I. After returning from the trip, I felt like I was reborn. The past pains, suspicions, and uneasiness were all blown away by the sea breeze, leaving only a heart full of happiness and longing for the future.

I have also seen the changes in Yuxuan. He is no longer as strong as before. Instead, he listens to my ideas patiently and cares about my feelings. He will make me a cup of hot milk when I work overtime, accompany me to watch my favorite movies on weekends, and even make brown sugar ginger tea for me when I am on my period. These little things in life make me feel his love and make me more determined to go on with him.

"Luo Xue," One night, Yuxuan hugged me and sat on the balcony, looking at the starry sky, "After going through so much, I finally understand how important you are to me. Thank you for coming back to me."

I snuggled in his arms, listening to his strong heartbeat, and whispered, "Yuxuan, I should thank you too. Thank you for letting me understand what true love is."

"Let's face it together, okay?" He stroked my hair gently. "No matter what happens, I will never let go of your hand again."

I raised my head, looked into his eyes, and nodded solemnly. I know that the road ahead is still long and we may encounter various challenges, but I believe that as long as we love and trust each other, we will be able to overcome all difficulties.

I began to integrate more actively into Yuxuan's life and learn some knowledge of company management, hoping to share some of his pressure. Yuxuan was also very happy to see my changes. He often took me to some business gatherings and introduced his friends and partners to me.

At a gathering of friends, I overheard Yuxuan's friends talking about an emerging Internet project. They believed that the project had great development potential, but it lacked a good entry point. I immediately became interested, and after the gathering, I couldn't help but pull Yuxuan to discuss the project with him...
