Flash Marriage: The Domineering Wife

Chapter 201 Fool for Love

Liam tenderly and gently held Ying Sheng's wounded hand. She winced the moment he washed her hand clean, making Liam look at her for a brief moment then back at the wound he was treating.

Ying Sheng watched him as he carefully wiped her wounded hand clean. He then got the bandage at the side and had wrapped it around her hand, Ying Sheng finding his gentleness calming and comfortable--like hitting home.

While Ying Sheng was watching him, she thought to herself how blessed she was of being with a man who treated her like a queen when she had seen herself as a perfect mess. She felt that Liam saw her as a fallen angel, a blessing from the heavens, a lonely star that was twinkling in an exploded galaxy.

She knew that the man who unconditionally loved her was right in front of her.

Yet her heart was with someone else.

"There. Done."

Ying Sheng snapped out of her stupor. A small smile crept on her face as Liam stood up, Ying Sheng looking up at him as she sat on her chair.

"Thank you."

"Mm." Wanting to lighten up Ying Sheng's mood, Liam smiled at her sweetly then spoke, his voice etched with concern and sweetness. "Do you want to go out and eat? I'll treat you something to eat," he suggested, Ying Sheng, nodding once as her answer.

"Okay."

Liam gently pulled her by the wrist to make her stand up. Her eyes met his as he spoke again, "Then go and have a shower. I'll wait for you."

With that, Ying Sheng headed to the shower to prepare herself as Liam patiently waited for her.

After Ying Sheng was done with the shower, she quickly dressed and stared at herself in the mirror. Her face was ghostly pale. She looked pretty dead on the outside and on the inside.

She didn`t know what Liam saw in her to have fallen in love with her. She was a disgusting mess. historical

Liam sighed as he got a glass of water and drank it, a sad smile soon appearing on his face. Seeing the woman he loves in such a dilemma gnawed his heart little by little like a rat nibbling on his cheese, but this slowly hurt him. Right here and then, the man vowed to himself that even though he knew that the woman he loves has someone else in her heart, he would do his best to love her.

People may call him an idiotic man--a martyr who foolishly loves a woman, but he didn't care.

As long as he would make her happy with all that he is, and as long as she would still want him, he would always be there.

Heck, even if Ying Sheng might not want him back, he would force himself back so he could still protect her.

He wanted her to be happy and help her achieve her dreams. He had no idea how he was going to do that but he would do his best

Ying Sheng might see herself as a wreck, but for Liam, she is everything that he ever wished for--no margins or lines could limit his random ecstatic love for her.

After waiting for Ying Sheng for half an hour, Liam quickly prepared himself as he did not want her to wait for him for a long time. He dressed up quickly, then both of them walked out of the room to head out to the nearest restaurant they could find, the one near the hotel with an extravagant rooftop.

As the two had settled down on the table by the window overlooking the city's streets, Liam ordered the best meal in the restaurant as Ying Sheng stared blankly at the view outside, oblivious of her surroundings.

Then there it was: the awkward silence.

How can silence be so deafening? Would a person believe the other if he would say, "the silence was so loud?" If one could show a representation of that oxymoron, a figure of speech, then it would be the current situation the two are in now.

And as it went on with each second passing by, Liam realized that he could not drink away this silence that had engulfed them into awkwardness.

"A-ahem..."

Liam cleared his throat, making Ying Sheng lifelessly turn to him, her face devoid of any emotion. They had been together several times already, but still, it was as if they were strangers eating a meal together for the first time!

"Yes?"

Liam blinked his eyes a few times, suddenly at a loss for words. He slightly furrowed his brows as Liam realized that he was starting to feel awkward and that he was now worried about letting Ying Sheng think that their time together would be boring.

"I-I ordered chocolate ice cream after the meal for your dessert," he said, stammering on his words as well. Ying Shing slightly smiled as she nodded, thanking him.

"I appreciate you noticing the little details about my interests. Thank you."

With his heart swooning with her appreciation, Liam grinned, feeling more confident about engaging in a conversation with her. He thought that he was now dauntless enough to speak more so he could make her feel better.

"You have a session for therapy coming, right? On Monday?" Ying Sheng nodded to answer his question. "Do you want me to give you a ride and then pick you up? I could take you anywhere you want, too!"

"Oh!" Ying Sheng smiled warmly this time, grateful that Liam was always there for her. "Sure. I'd look forward to it," she added, and at the same moment, their food had already arrived.

The waitress served them each a Salisbury steak with delicious gravy on it. There was also a serving of mashed potatoes at the side in a small bowl to match the meal. As their drink, they were both served iced tea, already the whole presentation of their meal for lunch.
