Chapter 403. Passed Away (2)
A comforting smile appeared on Shen Wenna’s face when she heard Xi Xiaye’s words, yet she shook her head. “Ah Chen and you just got married. Why would I stay with you now? Moreover, there are servants in the Shen Residence too. They can take care of me. You guys should focus on what you need to do.”
Shen Wenna suddenly extended her arm to Xi Xiaye and held her hand.
“Your wedding in June is coming up soon. You guys must be busy preparing for it now. Xiaye, I hope you guys can have an unforgettable wedding to fill up the emptiness inside me. Maybe I won’t be able to see now, but I’m sure that Ah Chen won’t let you down.”
Shen Wenna looked rather melancholy despite her calm appearance. Even her eyes seemed lonely as well.
“Mother, yours and Father’s wedding back then…” Xi Xiaye pried.
Shen Wenna took a deep breath. She blinked and seemed to be recollecting her memories of the past. After some time, she replied, “Back then, your father and I were in a hurry to marry. The wedding wasn’t much. I just put on a veil and married him. We only invited several of our close friends. I was too headstrong back then and only cared about marrying your father. I even tried to break off my relationship with your grandpa… I really…”
“Mother, you were young once! You loved fiercely and courageously. Sometimes, I’m really envious of you. You can do everything for love. I told Mu Yuchen that love back then was really much simpler, and a pure form of happiness.” Xi Xiaye smiled.
“However, it’s all in the past now. You have to understand this, Xiaye. Promises always sound better when you’re in love.” Shen Wenna sighed. She had had a taste of it herself, experiencing all kinds of people and matters in life. Who knew what would happen in the end?
No matter how close a relationship was, it could not go up against the fight for benefits, and her love with Xi Mushan died for the sake of this said benefit.
