Love [Silver] Perfect

FORGIVENESS [TAMAT]

Just now Jiang Hun had intended to move on, but before the intention had even been accomplished the wife had already appeared and patted him on the shoulder, making the middle-aged man jump small.

"Not good eavesdropping. Come on, we better get to the dining room. Just leave them." Xiao Yauran guided her husband to a step with a slight force.

Jiang Hun seemed to want to say something, but did not come to terms because the wife did not give him a chance. When they had just reached the dining room and sat down, Jiang Lizqi appeared while picking up Steven Lou who was walking a little limped.

Xiao Yauran who did not hear the contents of their conversation just now, in the room, immediately got back up with a carefree face. "You're coming. Come, sit. We eat together."

Jiang Lizqi glanced at Jiang Hun before finally making a sound, "Ma, thank you for taking care of Steven. But sorry, we don't want to bother Mama anymore. We'd better eat out and stay at the hotel."

Like the originally clear sky, then covered in clouds, Xiao Yauran's face instantly became grim. His mouth was already open about to convey a protest, but Jiang Hun interrupted,

"Let. Just go if you want to go."

"Ma ...." Xiao Yauran instantly silenced as Jiang Hun stared at him sharply.

Jiang Hun's words spoken in a cold tone were like thousands of ice needles raining down on Jiang Lizqi's heart. Although this was not the first time she had heard her papa saying in such a tone, but she was still not used to it, it still hurt.

Strengthening his heart, Jiang Lizqi said goodbye, "Ma, Pa, we're leaving." Without waiting for a response he immediately turned his body. "We're leaving, Honey," she asked as she looked gently at Steven Lou.

With a small nod Steven Lou agreed, then pressed Jiang Lizqi's shoulders tightly and warmly to give her support.

Before turning around, Steven Lou first gave a small nod to the mother-in-law who just stood glued with teary eyes. After which, he stepped over while being swept up by Jiang Lizqi.

However, the swing of their feet instantly stopped when they heard Jiang Hun say, "The door of this house will always be open, come whenever you want to come."

Xiao Yauran immediately cried as he smothered his mouth, Jiang Lizqi and Steven Lou turned their heads, while Jiang Hun looked calmly seated in his chair.

"Papa," Jiang Lizqi called out softly.

"If my apology can keep you guys stuffed last night, I'm ...."

Jiang Lizqi could not hear the continuation of his papa's sentence. So happy, he unconsciously ran to hug the man who for four years did not want to admit him as a child.

This time, Jiang Lizqi did not intend to hold back tears. He who had hugged the father from behind, was now resting on the floor while clutching his legs, and continued to say the word 'sorry' between sobs.

Instead of guiding his daughter to wake up, Jiang Hun took to the floor and hugged the princess as he cried as he pleased. No words said. There was only sobs as a form of regret and warm hugs as proof of forgiveness.

Steven Lou and Xiao Yauran simply nailed themselves on the spot, watching the scene with their chests feeling overcrowded, with no intention to interrupt. 

Both corners of Steven Lou's lips are slightly drawn to the side—carve a thin smile—a happy smile is also proud because his efforts are not in vain.

Xiao Yauran finally could not bear to also just watch. The woman rushed up to her two loved ones, joined her sitting on the floor and hugged them tightly.

"Welcome back, son. You and your husband are welcome in this house." In between sobs, Xiao Yauran's voice sounded hoarse, wavering and faltering.

A very moving sight. Steven Lou did not want to miss that momentum just like that. He secretly took Jiang Lizqi's phone from the pocket of the coat he was wearing, then took several pictures and one video with a duration of less than five minutes.

Finally that night, Jiang Lizqi and Steven Lou did not stay at the hotel. After a dinner full of warmth and happiness was over, they took the time to mingle for a while before finally entering into their respective rooms.

Now, while Jiang Lizqi was sound asleep beside him, Steven Lou was still awake. A few seconds left, the clock will reach the top of the night. He wanted to be the first to wish his beloved wife a happy birthday.

As the clock moves, he counts in his heart, ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one ....

"Happy birthday my honey, my sweetheart, my world, my life, and my everything. I love you."

Steven Lou whispered softly right in Jiang Lizqi's ear, with no intention of waking her up. After peeping his forehead, eyes, cheeks, nose and lips, he also lay down, then brought his beloved into the embrace.

Their lifelong promise has been kept, but the journey of both lives is still long. They still have to take good care of what has been achieved so as not to waver and remain firm.

After four years that made Jiang Lizqi's smile no longer sincere, the light finally shone back in his soul and helped warm Steven Lou's heart.

However, before that, exactly four years ago, Jiang Lizqi had already kept her lifelong promise first. The promise to stay by Steven Lou's side in his joys and sorrows even though for that to be considered dead by his papa.

Jiang Lizqi still chose to stand firmly beside Steven Lou despite her heart breaking into pieces. The two went through a difficult time together. Mutual and supportive, closing each other's wounds, crying and laughing together, remain optimistic in the face of life despite some disability in their love and life.

All of that has unwittingly made the love and heart bond between them stronger by the day. They are separated from their parents because of deep love for each other, but then reunited with the person who thought they were dead also by love.

As long as there is love, the door to forgiveness is always open. If the door of forgiveness had been opened, then the grudges of the past would no longer be able to reign. 

EXPIRE

A LITTLE EXTRA

The night was late, but Jiang Lizqi was still in the study busy typing. Some time ago when he saw a new clock showing at ten, he only intended to type a little more while waiting for Steven Lou to come home from a trip out of town.

However, after the waiting came home, even finished bathing, he instead felt reluctant to leave his typing. Jiang Lizqi was so focused that she did not frown upon hearing the door of her study open.

"It's almost midnight, Beib." Steven Lou walked over, then hugged Jiang Lizqi from behind and kissed her cheek. "Come, sleep."

Stopping the fingers that had been dancing on the keyboard, then swinging his hands back to grab Steven Lou's nape, Jiang Lizqi looked up and moved his lips. Without a doubt, Steven Lou kissed him and when Jiang Lizqi opened her mouth, the kiss turned into a warm kiss.

"A little more," Jiang Lizqi said after the link of their lips unraveled.

Steven Lou smiled in the shade, then glanced at the laptop screen. "LOVE [NOT] PERFECT." He read three words written using capital letters and bold.

"Huum." Jiang Lizqi leaned her head on Steven Lou's shoulder, while the concerned rested her chin on his shoulder. Beautiful, sweet and romantic view. "This is our story. I want others to read it and maybe be inspired."

"You want to publish it?"

Jiang Lizqi nodded. "I want others to know our love journey."

"Why is the word TAK in brackets?"

"That means, can be involved can also be eliminated. We began married life with flawed love, but now, with their blessing our love has become perfect."

"You're the best. Love you, Beib."

"Love you more, Honey."

After that, they again linked their lips and then invaded each other full of desire.

Difficult times have passed. Now it's time to enjoy the sweet fruit created from the bitter heaps they have been juggling for four years.

After their relationship with both Jiang Lizqi's parents improved, happiness for the sake of happiness they could achieve quite easily. As if confirming the fact that the blessing of parents is the blessing of the universe as well.

One year later, on Jiang Lizqi's twenty-ninth birthday, Jiang Hun and Xiao Yauran came to visit. When he saw the photo of Lady Lou on display in the living room, Jiang Hun and Xiao Yauran were stunned.  But quickly act ordinary. They had agreed to forget all that was unpleasant. So, you really have to be able to explain what happened.

Two days after the birthday celebration, Jiang Lizqi suddenly fainted during a walk in the garden around the house. After being examined, it turns out that in his stomach there is a new life that is growing. The five-year wait was finally over.

The sweet ending that even Jiang Lizqi and Steven Lou themselves never dared to imagine. But they can achieve it because they deserve it.

Even the career of Steven Lou, who was the youngest company leader of his time and had been doubted by many parties, is now increasingly brilliant and successfully established branch companies in several neighboring countries.

While still breathing, trials are always there. However, at least their love has been tested.
