The Sweetest Marriage

a critical moment, Wei Chen would have thought that Chen Li couldn’t speak.
It was only after experiencing that day in the previous life that Wei Chen knew Chen Li could speak but resisted doing so.

Wei Chen realized the issue now.
He closed the book, looked at Chen Li with a serious expression, and said, “Li Li, you can speak, right?”

The gaze that was on Wei Chen shifted away when Chen Li heard his words, clearly unwilling to face this question.

Wei Chen finally confirmed that Chen Li genuinely resisted speaking, but he didn’t force him.
He opened the book again and continued teaching from “aoe.”

Chen Li listened attentively and when he learned, he placed his hand on the book, indicating Wei Chen to turn the page.

Aside from not speaking, Chen Li was a diligent student, quickly grasping what was taught.
After half a day, Chen Li had learned most of the pinyin.

Time flew, and the sun climbed higher in the sky.
Noon arrived, and half the day had passed.
Wei Chen closed the Chinese language book and said, “Alright, let’s stop here for the morning.
Let’s go eat.”

Reluctantly, Chen Li withdrew his gaze from the textbook and went outside with Wei Chen.

When Chen Li got into the car, as Wei Chen leaned over to fasten his seatbelt, he whispered softly in Chen Li’s ear, “Li Li, don’t be afraid.
I’m here with you.
Whatever challenges we face, we’ll face them together.”

Chen Li didn’t react, his eyes fixed on his own feet, unmoving.

Wei Chen lifted Chen Li’s face and gently pressed a kiss on his smooth forehead.
The moment his lips touched Chen Li’s skin, Wei Chen felt his heart was about to leap out of his throat.

“Li Li, I’ll wait for you.”

‘I’ll wait for the day when you completely let down your guard for me.’

Chen Li stared blankly at Wei Chen, opened his mouth, but no words came out.

Once certain defenses are set, they aren’t easily opened.
Wei Chen understood this well, so he didn’t push Chen Li.
However, he believed that patience pays off, and one day, Chen Li would completely open his heart to him.
