Chapter 36: Because your low EQ never allowed you to understand that I like you!
She was only 13 years old when she was sent abroad for further studies. But she remembers him, her first crush. The one whom she liked. They used to bunk classes together and he will always bring her to a beautiful place where they will sit together and play all day long. This was the place... She has some hazy recollections of it.
She was younger that time but not that young that she will forget something. As if she remembered something else, she searched around the tree and found a red rose plant which she had planted to show him that how much she likes him but he was a fool who never understood the meaning.
She looked around and spotted a beautiful pond and she ran towards it. She remembers they always sat here together and he will teach her how to solve the pentamix.
All this while, Mo Yuhan was standing there as he looked at his excited wife. He was a little confused by her behaviour yet he thought that she liked the scenic beauty of this place.
Tang Li spotted the beautiful farmhouse and her eyes started shining. This was the place where she used to sleep when she was tired. The house was not that big but it was cozy. Her memories were not vivid yet she could remember some things clearly.
Suddenly, realization hit her.She stood there frozen. She was shocked again 'Wait, this place? His name is also Yuhan. He said he used to play pentamix with the girl he likes. He brought me here.That means...That means, the girl he liked is me? He is my senior?'
She was so happy by the revelation. Given her IQ, she understood the whole situation within a few minutes but still she couldn't believe it. It's magical.
The one she liked for the first time in her life, he is the person whom she proposed for marriage within ten minutes of their meeting. How can she believe it?
Her eyes became wet.How could she not be happy? He is the one, the only one in her life.Before 13 years, she liked him and after 13 years, she married the same man and fell in love with him.
'He said that he liked me in the past.How come he never confessed back then? He behaved so coldly towards me at the beginning. I'll teach him a lesson today.' she thought. She was trying to angry yet tears of happiness were rolling down her cheeks.
Mo Yuhan noticed her standing constantly at one place and he walked towards her.He froze when he saw tears in her eyes. He walked forward and hugged her but she pushed him slightly.
He frowned. He couldn't understand anything and he was so confused as he asked "Did I do something wrong?"
Tang Li looked at the man infront of him.You dumb man? Couldn't you tell me back then that you liked me? Did you even know that how much I liked you?I will teach you a lesson today.
She looked at him and wiped her tears "Mo Yuhan, tell me, did that girl like you back?"
Mo Yuhan was speechless.She is still on that topic? He thought that she had already forgotten about it when he saw her explore the whole place.
But now, looking at her current state, his heart felt like it has been clenched. He didn't want to hurt her by talking about it anymore but still he wanted to finish it once and for all.
He held her hand as he said "Yes, I liked her.But, she never liked me.She just treated me like a senior and maybe an elder brother and nothing else."
Tang Li: (¬_¬) Elder brother, my foot! Didn't you underestimate your charms? I was head over heels for you.From which angle, do you look like a brother material?
Mo Yuhan continued "You are all I have.I don't have anything to do with her. Even if she comes back, I will never have those feelings for her again alright?"
Tang Li: You dare? Nothing to do with me? Even if I die one day, my ghost will stick to you! Humph!
"How are you so sure that she didn't like you back then?" she asked.
Mo Yuhan was even more confused but still he answered "She once said that she likes someone and wants to confess to him."
Tang Li blushed.Indeed, she once asked him about that to notice his reaction. She wanted to see if he will get jealous but he remained impassive. So, she was sure that he doesn't feels anything for her.
But back then, little did she know that he is good at hiding his emotions. No wonder people call him an iceberg.Today, if she doesn't sees a shocked expression on his face then she decided that she will never eat chocolates in her whole life.
Seeing her reddened cheeks, Mo Yuhan was worried as he asked "What happened?"
Seeing his worried face, she smiled "You happened, idiot!"
Mo Yuhan was stunned momentarily.He smiled as he said "You crashed in my life out of nowhere.Now you rule on my heart.Tell me, what should I do to you? How should I punish you for making me so worried?"
She giggled as a tear rolled down on her cheeks "Accept her.The girl you used to like, be together with her."
Mo Yuhan: ⊙_⊙ It's not over yet?
He sighed as he said "I only have you in my life, my dear wife."
Tang Li smirked 'Huh? I caught a glimpse of shock on your face, Mo Yuhan. Now, you will get another shock for not confessing your feelings to me back then.'
''I want divorce." said Tang Li.
Mo Yuhan looked at her in disbelief as he stood rooted in his spot. Her face looked so serious and he immediately thought that she really wants divorce. His heart stopped beating and his face was pale. He was speechless.
He didn't know when, how and where it started, but this woman in front of him always had a strong impact on him. If she is happy, he also feels happy. If she is sad, his mood worsens.
Thinking about that she wants to leave him, his heart stopped beating. But then, a strong determination flashed across his eyes. He will never let her go, no matter what happens!
His voice was soft as he muttered "But...Why?"
Tang Li: ~(^з^)-♡ Aww my cute big fish.I will not tease you anymore. I can't resist your cuteness alright?
And looking at his nervous face, she decided that it was enough as a punishment. She can't bear to see her sweetheart like this.
She sighed "Because you never confessed that you liked me. I even planted the rose plant to tell you indirectly that I like you. But your low EQ never allowed you to understand it. And still, you have got the guts to say that I never liked you back then?"
This time, Mo Yuhan was thoroughly shocked.He didn't say anything. He just stood there silently.He couldn't believe what he discovered just now.
He liked two girls in the 28 years of his life.And both the girls turned out to be the same, his wife. How can he not be shocked?
But, still he composed himself and deciphered the meaning of everything in his mind.
President Tang?
Tang Li
Lili
His Lili !
He looked at her with a soft gaze "Lili....It is you..it was always you.."
He looked so content. He never believed in coincidences. All his life, he has been practical.But, this woman just crashes in his life and breaks all his illusions.
The world is tipsy on alcohol, yet here he is, drunk over her again and again.
Tang Li was quite smug after seeing his shocked expression but he composed himself within seconds. Hearing him calling her 'Lili', her heart melted yet she decided to carry on with her drama.
"Yes, now divorce me. I want to be free. I don't want to be with you anymore. I'm bored of you." she said.
Mo Yuhan smirked as he grabbed her waist and pulled her closer to him. He lowered his head and in a deep and husky voice, he whispered "You are quite gutsy, Mrs.Mo. Do you dare to leave me after making me addicted to you? Do you dare to abandon me after proposing me to marry you? Bored? Why don't I make it interesting for you!"
His deep yet sexy voice was sending shivers in her. She was feeling electrified all over her body. She knew that her doom is coming soon. This man will make her crazy for him and she is sure of that.
Before she could say anything, he carried her in his arms and brought her inside the farmhouse.
