334 5.78 – Family bond – The Sleepless Elite’s Wife

+—————–+

Ru Quan observed the scared woman before him silently. It’s been a long time since he became the old Ru Quan. It was as if no part of him wanted to deal with this, letting him do the dirty job as usual. His wife described him as a black miasma that fed itself from the cruel wars or going to a haunted museum in the middle of the night.

It was a stigma he couldn’t get rid of. Was he such a gloomy old man? There were some benefits in separating himself from the rest. His bloodthirstiness wouldn’t transfer to the rest of his lifetimes so Xuan Mu’s charm wouldn’t reduce. If he and Lu Kai became one, the effect he would have on this reporter wouldn’t be as high.

Whenever his soul got transferred to the world, it would choose the most suitable self instinctively. It was such an odd feeling. He was still... him, but he just felt like being Ru Quan to shut the reporter up. But Ru Quan was always here- it’s not like his (Ru Quan) memories had disappeared...

‘This is so fucked up...’

Ziek immediately messaged his wife.

Mr. Jelly: Wife, you should get yourself a degree in psychology.

.....

Mrs. Jelly: Why? What’s the reason?

Mr. Jelly: I’ll need a personal therapist throughout our journey. I just named my moods in accordance with my past lifetimes. The reporter almost shit her pants when I became Ru Quan. I swear I didn’t want to kill her. I just wanted to silence her. Yeah... Fuck.

Mrs. Jelly: Good boy. Finish the interview as Lu Kai or Xuan Mu. We’ll deal with this later at home.

There was no way for Lu Kai and Xuan Mu to speak about their current struggles for fear of making his wife worry. Ziek was a selfish prick, and so, Xuan Mu also decided to be a selfish prick.



Crap, he was labelling his moods again.

Halfway through the interview, the reporter quickly excused herself to the toilet and never returned.

· · ———- · ???· ———- · ·

“Are you alright?” Bing Shi rushed here right after finishing her work, reaching out to the man that didn’t move from his spot.

“I’m...fine,” Xuan Mu, who wanted to speed up the interview, blinked innocently at his cold coffee. Maybe he should have chosen to stay as Lu Kai since he was the safest bet. Without his wealth, he was just a weirdo that everyone had been avoiding except for the old elites that were always watching his every move, “Why did you come?”

“Father invited us for dinner,” She pulled him up, and together, they walked outside, not forgetting to give the coffee shop a nice tip. A group of reporters and fans followed them the whole time, “What we did was really disrespectful. He’s angry that we married behind his back and kept it a secret for almost three years.” While saying so, she signed a few autographs.





Bing Shi gave her father everything she could, and he still didn’t seem satisfied. When he complained about how he was an awful father to her, she moved back home so he could amend his past negligence. He was getting old and in accordance with his age, his health deteriorated. If he suddenly died with regrets, her hard work would be for nothing.

Shielding her body from the flashing cameras, Xuan Mu opened the car for her. She could play the role of a perfect daughter for parents to brag about to their friends; she could easily be someone that parents can be proud of, but she could not return familial affection to her expectant parents with genuine enthusiasm.

She saw no reason why she should be loving towards them anyway. Her level-headed nature forced her to always look at both sides of the coin. She loved her past family, her parents and her little brothers, but it was such a pragmatic love, a kind of attachment where she expected to be betrayed.

Xuan Mu closed the door and walked around to get into the car, driving away immediately. Bing Shi soon realized it was not okay to feel like that. She had such a loving family compared to him, so why did she never miss them when she moved to Sydney?

Due to that, he believed she would heal soon after his death. If she wanted, she surely could, knowing how she went through worse things. But this woman got too obsessed with the way he loved her, and dismissed any thoughts of moving on from him.

“I’m innoceeeent ??,” out of nowhere, Bing Shi clamoured loudly when he gave her the ‘accusing look’, “I’m innoceeeent ??,” she raised her hands in defeat even though she didn’t know what exactly went through his head, “I’m inoceeeent! Don’t punish me pleeeeeasse ??.”

“...” He silenced her with a small caressing to the back of her head. Xuan Mu gave her his space ring and he casually asked her, “Could you help me choose a gift for your father?”

“Sure thing!” Enjoying his gentle caressing, Bing Shi surfed through the food section and in the end, she decided to pick up some fruits and desserts for her father. While she was happily picking up food, she would occasionally feed her hubby some gummy worms, “Open up my little birdie.”

“...” He thought about whether he should stop at the roadside and shower her with some ‘love’. No matter where they were, no matter what they did, she was everything he needed to remain cozy for life. With her, he could differentiate his past from the present. With her, he was the new him. Playing with his wife, Xuan Mu opened his mouth, “I want kiss feeding. Mommy birdie always does that.”

Biting the worm, she nimbly leaned over to press it against the corner of his lips and the sweet was sucked out of her mouth in no seconds. She got a small kiss as a bonus. Maybe they didn’t go for a romantic outing a lot, but their ‘car dates’ were among the best.

In his eyes, the only difference between love and a car was one could buy a car. A non-car person like her didn’t get it until she experienced it. Life was a bumpy road. To keep the engine running strong and smooth, one must not think everything was ok without checking it regularly. Regular maintenance would assure a reliable running car- it might be costly, but it is worth it in the long run, “...”

That’s what he made up to impress her. He didn’t take it that deeply. Why else would he always be looking for a new, better Baby? He had to like cars the same way she loved dressing up, it boosted their self-esteem, “Hubby, you and my parents had to have a bit of an obsession going on with the letter B. Really, I wonder why Ting Zi begins with T.”

Occasionally they would go for a long drive with no destination, to get lost, just to see where the roads lead. They could drive around for hours, listening to music, talking about life, trash talk the bad traffic or appreciate the scenery, and be perfectly satisfied with the day.

And that’s how they found out.

Their car ‘dates’ became their best therapy.

Nothing could top it yet.

After the silent dinner, Silika’s father threw a few glares at his son in law while his daughter grabbed a knife and began to peel an apple casually, “Did you get my daughter pregnant?”

Was that why they decided to reveal their relationship to the world? His ex-wife had been coming to him, protesting their daughter’s relationship. But he didn’t see anything wrong with this young man since he didn’t leave his daughter despite all the rumours she was involved in. This act alone, of unwavering faithfulness to his daughter, spoke volumes about Lukas’s love.

“...” Xuan Mu’s eyes were on Bing Shi’s hands the whole time. In the past, people would ask him when they would marry. Now that they were officially married, people would nag them about other things. Couldn’t they be a happy couple, whole and complete without them expecting a little Bing Shi?

Bing Shi felt intense gazes coming from the two men, “Over my dead body. I’m never ever getting pregnant.”

“Silika!” Her father opened his eyes wide and he tried to shush her. He tried to reassure his son in law, “Lukas, she’s young. She is too focused on her career. I’m sure she’ll change her opinion soon.” A woman that couldn’t give a man a child would surely kill her prospects in a flash.
