Before My Withering [枯萎之前]

Chapter 44

[Of all the scenery where people are no longer there, I like you the most]

I was packing in my room the night before we left. The luggage had been checked in advance of time and consisted of little souvenirs.

Zhou Chen purchased a little double apartment there, and when you open the window, you could view the turquoise Danube River.

I dislike living in a large house. He jokingly said that I didn't have a luxurious life since I married into a wealthy family but didn't know how to appreciate it.

I told him to have fun, and he didn't have to drill into my tiny quilt if he had the ability to.

He bullied me, pulled me up, and tossed me on the bed, claiming that the little thing was becoming more bad.

"I have sharp teeth and a sharp mouth, but soft skin and bones," I purposefully yanked his shirt with my toes. Do you want to give it a shot? "

His gaze was intense, and it lingered on my waist a few times, telling me to act properly.

Why should I be proper if the night was long?

"Sir..." I knelt and walked over, clinging to his neck and biting his chin." You can't do it?"

Sir was excellent.

While changing condoms in the middle, I grabbed his hand and voiced a topic I had been thinking about for a long time. "Zhou Chen... Do you want to have a child?"

His eyes darkened.

"I asked the doctor... My womb isn't damaged and it is usable...although the chances are slim, however..."

Our situation at the moment, with such words, made me blush with shame.

He sighed and hugged me tenderly. "It's enough for me to have you. You're my little friend."

"But..."

I could see he was concerned about my health and the significant risks of beta fertility. But what if I leave too soon and he's left all alone...

Zhou Chen seemed to see through my heart, saying, "You will live a long life and will spend a lifetime with me. I've given all my love to you, baobei. I have nothing to give to anyone else, not even to my children."

I pressed my brow on his shoulder and couldn't help but notice a foul taste on my nose. "You've made far too many sacrifices for me..."

There was nothing I couldn't put my heart and soul into, so it was not hard to love him wholeheartedly. But I couldn't fathom how much love it would have taken for him to give up his belongings easily, his family business position, his connections, his career, and a family with a house full of children and grandchildren in his old age for me.

"That's not how the word sacrifice is used," he said as he caressed the back of my head like a kid, "In the previous many years, I have doubted everything, loathed everything, and even my own flesh and blood wasn't enough to earn my faith. What you believe I was sacrificing was never important to me in the first place."

He said in a low voice, "At that time, I couldn't determine my relationship with this world until I met you. Growing up with you is also a way for me to connect with the rest of the world. It's not the same as a parent rearing a child or an alpha marking an omega. There is no physical bond between us, but your life is inextricably linked to mine."

Zhou Chen's voice could always make me feel as if I were in a warm deep sea, and the discomfort in my heart gradually returned to tranquility.

"You may not realize how significant it is to me that there is one person in this world whose existence is linked to mine."
