Chapter 251
Ye Tian was stunned for a moment, then swept his arm in a grand gesture and thumped his chest, "My lady, just give your orders, and your husband will go through thick and thin for you, climb mountains or dive into boiling oil without a second word, toil and moil with no complaints..."
"Come home with me."
Home.
Ye Tian froze and didn’t speak. He didn’t have a home; this home naturally was Tang Su’s.
For the first time, Tang Su didn’t speak while Ye Tian remained silent. She understood Ye Tian’s character well; this man had both the strongest and the frailest pride at the bottom of his heart. Tang Guoqing was the Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, and though his position was that of a deputy, he was not someone Ye Tian, a mere commoner, could match. Having snatched the Secretary’s daughter, the huge gap would certainly cause a knot in his heart. Now, facing the situation head-on, naturally, there would be resistance and hesitation in his heart. As his wife, she could certainly understand.
Ye Tian set aside the blanket in his hands and gently stroked the small, clean pair of feet beside him—Tang Su’s feet. It was the first time he’d held them in his hands. Tang Su didn’t pull away, allowing this man, whose bowed head made his expression unreadable, to stroke her feet over and over. She really couldn’t imagine the hidden expression behind the plain-looking fellow. Disappointment? Difficulty? Or was it heartache?
The hand stroking her feet paused, and Ye Tian looked up at Tang Su with a blissful smile on his face. "Then let’s go tomorrow, shall we? If you’re not free, we can go the day after. In any case, whenever you want to go out, we’ll go."
"Can you really go with me?" Tang Su’s face, held in its calm composure for so long, now for the first time showed a hint of anticipation in Ye Tian’s gaze.
