My Clever Wife Is Sweet

Seeing her downcast face, Ye Shing had no answer and no way to comfort her. From the very beginning, he knew that she had built a wall around her but he was persistent to know more about her.

From his very inside instinct, he was as if attracted to her aura and the way she reacted. But now, after knowing her misery, his heart unknowingly twisted every time as all he wanted to do was just to take away all her pain so that she can live a happy life and won't be sad anymore.

But it was very difficult to do it was something she already experiences in her life and he has no control over it anymore. If only, he could go and remove her past from the memories so that she won't be sad anymore.

Without uttering anything else, he hugged the crying Qin mei very tightly, leaving no space between them. She silently cried at first but after time, it was getting much for her to handle the emotions.

"Ye Sheng...we... Are also her children... Why do we not receive love at all? Moreover, is it our mistake that we were born out of nowhere? They were the ones who gave us birth but now, they are the ones who hate us to their core!" 

She was speaking about everything that was inside her, from seeing poverty to her parent's separation. Having faces discrimination, to be teased by everyone, she tolerated everything in her life. But no one was there to support her at that point too.

She had to take care of her little sister, handle her schooling, and if not for her uncle and grandfather she might have been dead long ago with her sister!

Ye Shing listened to whatever she was saying and let her speak. Her emotions were making him wonder, for how long she had shut herself inside. This much pressure was difficult to handle.

"You're too brave, Qin Mei. Handling your sister and taking care of her when she is too young, and on top of that, doing medical is something… a legend can do.." from his point of view, she was no less than any superwoman.

Being just twenty, she suffered enough and now, it was Maine sync to him why she likes to stay away from everyone around her. The wall she has built is quite high, and solid as well.

"i...I never believed in love and relationships, Ye Shing. After my parents separated and how they cheated on their spouses, I thought that was absolute nonsense but somehow, I agreed to one boy who was one other than my ex-boyfriend. He made me believe in love by the amount of love he showered on me. 

You know, each small thing is important for me because I was never showered with love. Small things amuse me. And he knew this very well but I wasn't able to open up to him also."

Ye Shing failed to understand what she meant by this. If they are in a relationship, he might have known about everything also? Right?

This made him seriously wonder if she truly believed in love anymore or not? He left her because he wanted to settle abroad, despite knowing that she only has her sister with her as her family.

'How can she handle so many emotions like this?' He can relate the same thing with his own mother. Although Su Xi doesn't tell them anything about her business or about anything, he is aware that she is busy with many things.

Mentally, emotionally, and physically, they both are always challenged but it looks like they try to overcome everything for their family.

"Qin Mie, I know you have gone through a lot. But I salute you for being like this. Facing too much, but you are still strong and can't let anyone challenge you like this." he complimented her.

The tears now stopped flowing as she looked at him with her crystal eyes. "It is all due to my circumstances. Many times, I feel like giving up as well. But my sister is the reason I always stand up and do everything for her. I need to pay off her school fees, tuition fees, and everything." 

Qin Mei was always a bubbly girl. She was always like this when her nanny used to take care of her. But when she died, she was left alone, abandoned by both of her parents.

They both got busier with their respective family and she was left all alone.

Ye Shing continued to pat her back to make sure that she stopped crying. Because of whatever he listened, his heart was twisting continuously and aching as well.

But he kept quiet because this way matters and if he gives any opinion then it will sound rude to her parents as well. But despite that, he can only curse them in his own mind and heart because, how can a parent be so rude and ignorant to forbid their own child, no matter if she was illegitimate or not!

"Qin Mei, trust me in this. Your ex-boyfriend was an asshole. If he had genuine feelings for you then he would have asked you about his decision before he just ordered you at the end and also, maybe it was your first relationship that is why he simply used you." this was the point of view.

He had no interest to know his name because he feels that it would be simply a waste of time. As it was her past, it should be the past only. He is unable to judge her in any manner and he has promised her about it.

"Ye Shing... No matter what, but I feel that it is something that has taught me many things. Not everyone in your lives brings happiness and not everyone stays with you. Losing many people is a must and you must accept that reality as well.'' This made Ye Shing nod his head vigorously.

That was the key point and maybe, this is the reason he doesn't like to make friends with many people. All of them are trying to gain favors and he wants a real friendship!

"Qin Mei, your and my thoughts match very well, right?" Ye Shing asked with an asterisk which made Qin Mei smile a little bit. 

"Yeh. but I know all the brats like you are just after beauty and everything! So, let me clear myself. I'm not a girl like what you think and you shall maintain a proper distance from me!" Qin Mei clearly stated her condition while Ye Shing winded his eyes and raised his both hands.

"I shall stay away from you, My Lord! Your command is my order to follow!!" Qin Mei chuckled in response.

She was feeling a little better than before at least. His funny side is making her laugh while Ye Shing was also exploring his different sides. His funny nature is there from his childhood, but it is hidden behind his cold and indifferent face.

"Qin Mei, how are your parents now?" Ye SHing suddenly asked which surprised her a little bit. Bitten her lips, she replied hesitantly.

"Umm...They are busy in their own lives. My uncle is the one who takes care of me and asks about my wellbeing. But I know that behind him is my grandfather who wants me as well. Although I don't know the reason I let it be, at least this way I have a house to live in and I give them rent now after I get my job."

"So, you never interact with your parents anymore?" He knows that he is intuiting too much in life but he can't stop asking the questions that arise in his mind. They are something he eagerly wants to know.

"Yeah. They all actually thought of killing me also, I mean my stepmom but somehow I managed to survive. She is just like those villains stepmoms described in movies and stories."

"You mean evil moms and step sister." Ye Shing can guess from the way she described, he can predict from her background story that her stepmom wasn't very kind.

"Yes! Right! I can describe them just like that but this time, you see I'm wrong. I was burned out of a Woodlock and I'm an illegitimate child. That's why I don't try to talk about my parents because it makes me remember wh..at my birthplace is." Her voice slowed down a little bit.

He noticed how her spirits were done whenever she called herself an unwanted child. No one likes to know that your parents aren't together or they are having an affair. Ut being one of the illegitimate children, when you aren't at fault is a tough situation.

To lighten up the mood, Ye Shing tried to sound a little flirtier, "Now that you shared your secrets with me, can we be good friends? Like progress more than being patient and nurse?"
