And Xiao Ai had given him a response he would never forget. That one response gave him a little assurance that he did hold a place in her heart afterall.
She dropped her cutlery and looked him straight in the eye. His heart was doing this funny rhythm for fear of what she would say. But the beautiful lady finally opens her mouth to say. "If you leave me I will chase you and bring you back. I know that Mr Gu likes me very much and I really appreciate that. Sometimes Mr Gu also needs some coaxing words."
She gave him a beautiful smile and continued with her meal. When she noticed that the man was not making any movement, she looked up at him and was about to talk when her lips were engulfed with another.
At that moment Gu Bojing did not know how to tell her that what she said meant a lot to him. For he who has always had fears that he was keeping a woman that does not belong to him, such words were simply an insurance to him. Now he felt as if he could also get angry when he wants and she would coax him back to her side.
He had replied her by saying. "I will cherish Mrs gu for the rest of my life. The rest of my life belongs to you Mo Ai."
He clearly remembered her teary eyes and the way she sniffed trying to not cry. "Mr Gu had better keep to his words. If you ever change your mind, I will hang you from the sky."
He chuckled and patted her shoulder as she continued to eat waiting to meet Bolins judgemental words.
Recollecting this memories that were still so fresh in his memories, Gu Bojing walked to the bathroom and turned on the shower. He knelt under it and stared forward. Her shampoo and body wash was still present. He just got her a new one when he noticed the old one was almost finished. And knowing his wife, she would simply pour water in it, mix it and continue to use it like that. Sometimes he really wondered if she was the daughter of such prestigious amd wealthy families. Xiao Ai lived her life like any average person would. Thinking about how she and Lifen who is also from a wealthy family cooped themselves in that tiny apartment with Jenny alsmost made him laugh. Such frivolous ladies.
How much would it cost them to get a better apartment in a better part of the city?
This was the time Gu Bojing remembered Lifen and Jenny. They must be just as heart broken as he was but right now he had not the time to worry about others.
The memories they shared since they got married and even the ones from their high school and university days which Xiao Ai had forgotten came back to him like a fresh vision. When he could no longer take it, he held his head in his hands and weeped under the shower. The quiet choking sobs caused water to go in and out of his mouth but he did not care. Gu Bojing weeped like a new born because he knew it was almost 24 hours and Xiao Ai was yet to be found. He wanted to have faith and believe that his wife was still alive but currently his hope was hanging by a loose thread.
And there was Bolin who had to accommodate his parents, Jenny and 4th Madam in his house. Despite not in the mood to care for anyone, he had no other choice. Since there were people in his house he could not comfortably weep and blame himself for what happened to his big sister. Perhaps if he had always been nicer to her, he would not have such regrets. Big sister in law was just his age mate although he was a month older than her, the lady did not care and treated him like her twin brother but what did he do? He always complained about everything.
As he hit his head to the pillow to sleep images of the evil woman kept flashing through his eyes. First she took his car and caused a commotion with it getting into trouble with the police but quickly blamed it on him because he was yet to do the transfer of ownership. This caused him to go the police and was given a driving restriction. Then she stole his gold.
Stole things from his house and sold them because she was broke. Placed it with so much audacity on www.stolenbrotherinlawsgoods.com.
"Big sister, I am sorry...please come back."
The following morning came like any other day. The sun was bright and the clouds were clear. The only thing that was missing was his big sister in law. She always left the house earlier than everyone and when leaving would honk her car when she got to the gate of his house. Then he would come out through his rooms balcony and glare at her. All she wanted to do was just give him the middle finger for the morning and stick out her tongue to him.
This was her morning routine towards him. If he did not come out, she would not move her car and continue to honk her horn disturbing people in the neigborhood. So now that he was awake and hasn't heard any early morning honk, his life somewhat felt empty.
Gu Bojing although fell asleep in the shower and got a high fever still woke up early and went to the accident area. This husband got a canoe and wore a safety coat then dived into the water to find his wife himself. The search team around saw him and coaxed the man to come out of the water, but he acted like he did not hear and ducked in and out of the water like a crazy man.
The breaking news was a simple one.
"Emperor Gu distraught over the loss of his wife ducks in and out of water crazily to search for her himself. Will we be losing another important icon of our country? Stay tuned for more. Reporter Bun, reporting from We love Buns station."
