Chapter 332: 335 You say one thing after another, but I can’t hear that you love me

"I don’t want to."

A clearer and more concise rejection than before.

Wen Nian’s hand, playing with her hair, paused slightly,

"Lili, things are different now from four years ago, I believe in your abilities, and you trust me too. Even if someone wants to interfere, we can face it together. Isn’t that good?"

Wen Nian took a deep breath,

"Actually, I should have done this back then, not letting you go, but keeping you here with me, so we could advance or retreat together."

Advance or retreat...

Oh, Wen Nian, speaking of it feels thrilling, but putting it into action is extremely tough and fraught with hardship.

Not many relationships can withstand so many "advance or retreats."

"But compared to being the President’s wife, I’d rather be a lieutenant in the Navy Corps."

Tang Xiaohua thought, since Wen Nian brought it up, she might as well use this opportunity to tell him her thoughts,

"At the end of April, when my duty to guard the President ends, I want to return to the Navy Corps."

"..."

Wen Nian’s brows furrowed, his heart chilling.

Tang Xiaohua could feel his body stiffen; she took the initiative to hold his hand,

"Xiaonian, like you said, two people who truly love each other will eventually find their way back to each other, no matter the distance, and end up holding hands together till old age. But for us right now, talking about growing old together is too premature."

"Song Lili, do I even have a place in your heart?"

Wen Nian let go of her hand.

"Is this... still not enough?"

Tang Xiaohua pointed at herself, then at him.

"Just because we’ve slept together means I have a place?" Wen Nian frowned.

Tang Xiaohua saw that Wen Nian was getting annoyed, which she could understand.

In her view, she and Wen Nian had been together for over a decade, but for this Wen Nian, apart from their childhood as childhood sweethearts, the actual time they spent together... counting on fingers, was practically non-existent.

But... how could she make him understand?

Wen Nian took a deep breath, "So when do you plan to stay by my side permanently?"

"...I haven’t decided."

"Song Lili, you’re teasing me!"

Wen Nian stood up abruptly, Tang Xiaohua took a deep breath, "Wen Nian, if I were to stay by your side now, why would I have bothered running off to Xilin before?"

"..."

"I have things I want to do passionately; I also want to stay somewhere where my talent can be utilized, and personal value realized, just like you, at the President Mansion, commanding and providing guidance, serving the country and the people."

"..."

"If you think that two people in love must stick together, then fine, would you be willing to give up the chair at the President Mansion and join me in the Navy Corps?"

Tang Xiaohua looked at him earnestly.

Wen Nian was speechless.

"Right, you can’t always expect me to sacrifice for you."

"So... if I let you go this time, you can’t even tell me when you might come back next?"

"...I’m just a lieutenant, what missions I undertake, and how much time they will take all depend on the orders from my superiors."

"Superiors... aren’t I your superior?"

Wen Nian narrowed his eyes.

"If you use your status as the President to forcibly give me orders, I can’t refuse, but I hope you won’t do that."

"Is it that in your eyes, as long as I am the President, I shouldn’t have a normal life?"

"..."

"A wife, even married, not acknowledging it, Song Lili, I married you because I wanted to start a family with you, I also want kids, and I want..."

Tang Xiaohua also stood up, looking straight at him,

"Wen Nian... I love you."

"..."

"There were so many obstacles between us, so many misunderstandings about you, and yet I loved you through it all, let alone now that we’ve cleared those misunderstandings."

"..."

"I once asked you if a relationship was destined to end in tragedy, would you continue to love... You didn’t answer me, but back then I said I wouldn’t. You remember, right?"

"...Remember."

"I’ve changed my mind now."

Wen Nian looked steadfastly at her.

She likewise gazed directly at him,

"If the train was about to leave in five minutes, I would kiss you at the platform for four minutes and fifty seconds."

Tang Xiaohua said all this, just to repeatedly tell Wen Nian that she truly loved him.

"But I think love should make a person grow, embrace the world with a more accepting attitude, not just hiding in our love nest. It seems like keeping each other warm, but actually becomes colder and colder."

Like fearing the heat escaping, afraid of love fading away.

Wen Nian’s feelings for her, she felt them as deeply as in a previous life.

Therefore, she didn’t want to blame this innocent young President using the tragedy of a past life that couldn’t be explained or addressed.

She accepted him, accepted this affection, and even... had the closest physical relationship a man and woman can have with him.

But she couldn’t throw herself into it, revolving solely around Wen Nian, like in her previous life.

She had to be herself, even without Wen Nian, she could handle all of life’s challenges so that even if this relationship suddenly soured one day...

At least she wouldn’t despair and collapse again like her previous life.

"You’ve already made your decision long ago."

Wen Nian watched her.

"Yes."

"..."

Wen Nian didn’t speak again; he lay down, covering himself with the blanket, his back towards her... acting just like a child.

Tang Xiaohua took a deep breath, "Hey, what is this supposed to mean?"

"Lili, you talk a lot, but I still can’t hear your love for me."

"..."

Tang Xiaohua was momentarily stunned.

"Let’s sleep."

Wen Nian said.

Any sleepiness Tang Xiaohua had had, now totally vanished.

She lay down, reaching out from behind to embrace Wen Nian, her face pressed against his back, "You have to trust me unconditionally, you promised, if I say I love you, you have to believe, believe me, Wen Nian..."

In the darkness, Wen Nian, his amber eyes steady, grasped her hand that was across his chest,

"Let me think about it..."

"...Okay."

She agreed, verbally taking a step back, but in her heart, not retreating an inch.

...

Several days later, the presidential inauguration ceremony was held at the President Mansion.

Wen Nian had already been through this scene once, so he was quite at ease.

President, Vice President, Secretary of State, etc...

The new Cabinet members each took up their responsibilities.

The entire inauguration ceremony ended at six in the evening.

Besides the new leaders assuming office, the most sensational part was the Vice President and Song Xiangqiao getting married.

In the evening, Zhuo Ting, arm in arm with his new wife, dined with Wen Nian and other Cabinet members.

Tang Xiaohua stood aside; Song Xiangqiao had gone to the restroom once and paused when passing Tang Xiaohua on her way back.

Tang Xiaohua maintained her posture, her gaze direct.

"Tell me, who would believe... the President’s personal bodyguard is actually a murderer?"
