Keeping the Promise After Rebirth

"Okay, I'll go take a shower then." Mo Shian said as he turned around and headed in the direction of the master bedroom.

"Alright, dinner will be ready soon, so after your shower, come down and eat." Said Aunt Wu as she went down the stairs.

Mo Shian pushed the door of the master bedroom open and walked in. He hadn't walked into this room so freely in two weeks. He looked around the room and his eyes fell on the queen-sized bed. He wondered if today he would get to sleep on that bed. Will he be able to hold her to sleep today? He did not dare to think further. He was happy just being allowed back into the bedroom. Even if he had to sleep on the sofa, he would be content. He can't be too greedy.

When he walked into the bathroom, he found his toiletries and bathrobe arranged next to those of Weiwei. For the first time in two months, Mo Shian felt a warmth crawl into his heart and spread to his entire body. Looking at his toothbrush placed in the same cup as Weiwei's, he couldn't help the silly grin that graced his face.

He felt happiness he had not felt in a long time. It was really not a dream. Everything had changed and Weiwei was treating him as her husband again. At that moment, he didn't care what brought the change. He didn't care if there were ulterior motives. He would do everything in his power to make sure things remained the same. He would make sure that she fell so deeply in love with him that she could never live even a day without him.

Mo Shian stripped his clothes and stood under the shower. When he felt the cold water pouring over his head and washing his entire body, he confirmed that he was not dreaming.

It was real.

He took a quick shower, then wrapped himself in a bathrobe and went into the closet to get dressed. Walking into the closet, he felt like he had been given a new lease on life. Looking at his clothes that were hung in their original place, next to Weiwei's, he felt so happy he could skip.

At that moment, he wasn't the cold CEO who could make the business world shake. He wasn't the cold-blooded soldier who could invade the enemy's territory and come back with a victory. He was just a husband who had been suffering heartache and finally saw light at the end of the tunnel. His wife finally showed him some love.

Mo Shian got dressed in comfortable clothes and then went downstairs to have dinner with his wife. As he stood on the landing of the first floor, he couldn't help but watch his wife, who was engrossed in watching a fashion show on TV.

She looked so beautiful sitting there and concentrating on the show. He always felt lucky to have married her. Even in the last two months when they had been having problems, he still felt lucky she was still married to him. He loved her so much his heart would bleed every time she got hurt, even a little.

He descended the remaining stairs and walked into the living room, then sat next to Weiwei. He was still careful to leave some space between them. He was afraid if he got too close she would become irritated. So, he made sure to keep a little distance.

"What are you watching?" Mo Shian asked. It was the only way he could think of starting a conversation.

"Paris weekly fashion show," Weiwei answered. She could tell that Mo Shian was still weary and kept his distance because he didn't want her to get upset. She didn't know how to make him feel secure. He was clearly very insecure about their relationship. But, she couldn't complain, she had caused all that after all. She could only hope that with time and her devotion, he would feel confident about himself again. So, she decided to continue the conversation.

"Watching it gives me inspiration sometimes," Weiwei continued.

"mmm…school starts next week. Are you moving to the dormitory?" Asked Mo Shian. He remembered that when their problems started, Weiwei had insisted on living in the school dormitory and coming home only on the weekends. She would come home on Saturday afternoon and leave on Sunday afternoon. It broke his heart, but he always gave in to her.

"No, I already got my driver's license, I will drive to school every day then come home after classes." Replied Weiwei. She knew what she had done. Listening to Xinya's unhealthy advice and leaving her comfortable home to stay in the crowded dormitory. What was she thinking? Oh, wait! She wasn't thinking at all. It's as if her brain had been eaten by termites and only an empty skull remained. She ruined her perfect marriage without any help at all. What a loser she had been.

"You can have one of the drivers drive you to school, that way you won't get tired." Suggested Mo Shian. He hoped that she would never get tired at all or get hurt. His heart aches every time she cries about being tired.

"It's not tiring, it's just a forty-minute drive. That won't tire me." Weiwei declined the offer. "I will be driving the Ferrari you bought me for my birthday."

"I thought you said it was too flashy," Mo Shian reminded her. When he gave her the custom-made, one-of-a-kind Ferrari, Weiwei said she would just park it in the garage and admire it because it was too flashy and expensive.

"What's the use of having it if I can't drive it? I will just drive it to school." Weiwei said with a proud expression on her face.

"Alright, do what makes you happy." Replied Moshian.

Weiwei couldn't help feeling bad about her behavior. No matter what she did, Mo Shian only cared about whether she was happy. She, on the other hand, had never considered his feelings. All she did in their relationship was receive but never give. She suddenly felt sad about being such a selfish wife, but it only made her resolve to be the best wife for Mo Shian stronger.
