Chapter 40

The two of us sat on the swing, the seats were filled and it'll take longer for us to reach another one so we decided to just seat here.

His figure was too tall for the swing, his legs couldn't help but bend as he struggle with a vexed expression.

It was the first time I see him in this kind of humorous situation, an adult trying to sit on a kid size swing.

"Is something the matter Yi Wei?" Instead of prolonging this silence, I better get to the main point of this meeting.

He just handed me a silver colored bracelet with my English name carved inside of it.

The shock on my face must have been big that he even raised his brow in question.

Well, you can't blame me, I've experienced a lot of first with him. Seeing him here on my birthday, sitting here in a swing and giving me a gift personally.

I feel like I just black out from the changed that is happening right now.

My whole body shakes, brain mushed into confusion and dazedness and eyes blinking profusely in disbelief.

It's really happening, change is truly happening this time.

"It's Nai Nai's present for you"

If it was still the me in the past, my heart would have turned cold. Then, if it's Nai Nai's gift, then why didn't she hand it over to me? Why would he, of all people, ask A'liu for my time and personally bring this to me?

He's someone who refuses to have any contact with me for the reason that my 'love' for him would deepen and that he has no time for it.

"Thank you" I softly embraced the bracelet, his eyes stared straightly at me and now I'm a bit unsure whether this gift is truly given by Nai Nai.

In all of my past lives, the only person whose thoughts I couldn't grasp is An Yi Wei.

"Um"

We stayed still, as if time stops, if someone saw us they would think that we're having a sweet moment together. Sitting and gazing at each other with infatuated eyes.

In reality, the two of us is having our own thoughts about each other.

...

She didn't wore it on her wrist, that's the first thing he saw the moment she arrives downstairs.

He can only briefly glance before taking a sip on his coffee.

After her birthday, she and her parents went to out, he on the other hand become more busy since his project with the other company begun.

He thinks he's crazy, paying attention to her and worse, lying to her.

He had never lied to her.

The day they became engaged, he already told her that he has no plans on having kids and that he cannot fulfill her needs.

He knew in his heart that he didn't like her but isn't also disgusted to her, she's just someone who lives in the same house as he, his wife in title.

But in these past months, he dreams of her.

Something that he couldn't believe, it's not a spring dream, he's not a young boy who doesn't know the relationship between a man and a woman.

Work is the only thing that fuels him, something that stabilizes his life and that makes him feel relieved.

"I'll be leaving now Yi Wei" her voice soft yet you can feel the distance on it.

This makes him feel flustered for some reason, a feeling that something had changed, that she's not supposed to be this way.

He is somewhat of a control freak, he could not tolerate any changes on his routine and he relish on the feeling of being in control with his life.

And now, it is out of his control.
