Chapter 484: Chapter 484: The Most Important Treasure

Rong Shaoze laughed as if no one else was around, his laugh tinged with a touch of silliness, causing Tao Hua and Xu Yao to shake their heads.

"Are you really that happy just knowing that the woman back then was Lin Xinlan?" Tao Hua asked with a light smile, "Don’t forget, you were forceful and violent with her back then. It’s possible she has never been able to let it go, which would explain why she’s always been reluctant to truly accept you..."

The smile at the corner of the man’s lips suddenly vanished.

Tao Hua tactfully closed his mouth and said no more.

Rong Shaoze put down the documents, stood up, and strode upstairs.

What Tao Hua said was right. Xinlan had always been cold and indifferent toward him, refusing to admit she liked him, unwilling to genuinely accept him—perhaps it was because she couldn’t let go of what he had done to her.

He needed to explain himself. He had to make her forgive him!

Tao Hua shook his head with a smile, picked up the documents to continue reading, and upon turning to the second page, his expression suddenly turned grave.

"What’s wrong?" Xu Yao asked, puzzled.

"See for yourself." He handed the documents over to him...

Rong Shaoze pushed the door open, and Lin Xinlan was still asleep.

She curled up under the covers, like an obedient little cat, sleeping soundly.

Sitting down beside her, the man gazed at her, his eyes filled with tender adoration.

It truly was a miracle. Five years ago, they had already crossed paths—a destiny not just ordinarily profound.

But to her, that night five years ago must have been a nightmare.

She had been forced by him, and must have been in great pain. Later, she became pregnant, and even gave birth to his child. The life she must have led would have been even more difficult.

For an unmarried woman with a child, without having to imagine it, he knew how heartbreaking that life could be.

His Xinlan, his child, how had they spent the past five years?

Thinking about all this, his chest felt as if it were tearing apart with pain.

He wished he could turn back time, go back to five years ago. He would find her, cherish her properly, not let her suffer, nor let his child suffer.

All these sins were his own doing; no wonder she repelled him, resented him, and was never willing to accept him.

He truly deserved it!

But thankfully, heaven had granted him another chance, returning both the woman and the child to him. From now on, he would take good care of them and never let them suffer again.

Looking at Lin Xinlan, Rong Shaoze’s heart was brimming with affection.

His Xinlan, the woman he loved the most in this lifetime.

His hand gently caressed her face, the corner of his mouth smiling. He couldn’t help but bend down to gently kiss her forehead, her eyebrows, her eyes, her nose, her cheeks, and then her lips.

He loved every part of her body, this woman was the most precious treasure in his heart.

In the future, he would protect her, cherish her, and never let her be saddened to tears again.

Lin Xinlan felt a tickling on her face, and she opened her eyes groggily to meet the man’s deep and tender gaze.

She was momentarily stunned, her whole body as if struck by an electric shock, unable to move.

"Awake?" Rong Shaoze lay down beside her, holding her body, and pecked her lips. His hand stroked her arm, slowly moved down, clasped her hand, and intertwined his fingers with hers.

Lin Xinlan blinked and asked him, "What time is it?"

"It’s still early, nine o’clock." He stared at her unwaveringly, his eyes burning with a passionate intensity that seemed to carry a thousand years of deep feelings, making her heart flutter, too overwhelmed to look directly at him.

What on earth is wrong with Rong Shaoze? He’s acting kind of strange.

"Xinlan." He took a deep breath, and apologetically said, "I know everything now, I’m sorry, I should never have treated you that way."
