Throughout the peaceful week I had, I guess it even left my mind that this is another scene that needs to be taken.
A scene where I had to act like a pitiful young abandoned wife, spread my acting skills and get the pity of others.
Though it backfires.
"Nai Nai I- I'm sorry.... I did all my best..." I ended with an ambiguous tone, I know that Nai Nai, to be able to live in this aristocrat family, would be as keen and intelligent as the others.
I can already feel the cold piercing stare of An Yi Wei, but what can I do? It's not like I can move and tell him to stop looking at me and prepare himself an excuse.
"An Yi Wei! You reckless child! How dare you act this way in front of your wife? Are you still even a man?!" I laughed in my head at Nai Nai's bullet like words at An Yi Wei.
Only Nai Nai can make him feel so... small.
"Nai Nai-"
"Don't Nai Nai me you ill tempered child!" She huffed as my hands moved on its accordance to the script and patted her back gently. "Don't worry my child, I'll straighten this- this dull witted guy!"
My lashes covered the true emotion of my eyes as I gently patted Nai Nai's back and whispered comforting words to her.
But it feels like I'm just adding oil to the fire and Nai Nai was ready to burst in anger everytime I comforted her.
"Nai Nai, we'll talk about it later, besides this is a matter between husband and wife" I could feel the dangerous glint in his eyes the moment he said those last words.
"You better be!" Nai Nai pointed at his nose and patted my hand in return. "Nai Nai got you so you don't need to be scared of this foolish guy"
You always are.
It didn't take long for me to get my body back though my limbs were still frozen, Nai Nai was ushered by butler Lin into her room and then it was just the two of us.
The silence was suffocating but I didn't mind it, It's been with me for the late couple of years of living in this made up world.
"I don't plan on having one"
I look at him, my dim ones against his icy ones, those pair of eyes could either hook your soul or trap you into a never ending torture.
I smiled at him, albeit it was just a bit, the look on his eyes deepen and he soon storm away from me.
He must have interpret my smile as me challenging him on his decision.
For the countless of lives that I experienced, there is no child that is made, and I'm thankful for that.
What would happen to me if a child was made?
Would my child suffer? Die along with me? Be abandoned by his father?
Living my life and seeing my child die over and over again, wouldn't that make you crazy overnight?
Just the thought of a child makes my heart tinge in pain, I would not have survived if I have to repeat on getting my hopes high and then getting it burned the moment it appeared.
It's fine for me to suffer, I'm used to it, with a child alongside me.
I guess I'll go crazy then.
