" Wan …… Wan? Why are you here?" Lin Chen was really surprised. Because he wasn't paying attention to his surroundings he didn't notice when Su Wan came and set beside him. He didn't even feel a presence beside him until she stretched her hand and handed him a handkerchief, really he was really too pathetic. He messed up in his job and was even caught crying by his wife, all his dignity as a man has been shattered today. He took the handkerchief that Su Wan was holding in her hand and wiped his eyes as he mockingly said, " pathetic, aren't I? I actually couldn't even take care of the shop you gave me to handle and now I am crying like a little baby here."

  Su Wan said nothing, she just hooked her arm around his neck and let him lean against her. " Do you know what you did wrong today?"

  Ah, so here it was. The light in Lin Chen's eyes dimmed further as he clenched his hands tightly and answered, " I couldn't take care of the shop even when I promised you that I will."

  Su Wan bowed her head and peered down at him before lightly slapping his cheek as she laughed, " no, you idiot." She turned to look at the moon that was shining brightly in the sky and inhaled the fragrant air of spring as she leaned her head against Lin Chen, " you know when I was a kid, my dad often called me a waste of space,"

  " What he dare!" Lin Chen sat up straight as his expression turned furious from brooding, he was really upset that someone called his Su Wan a waste of space, it didn't matter to him if that man was Su Wan's father. To him, Su Wan was his precious wife and he can never hear a thing about her! No matter who it was…… they can't just call Su Wan such a thing…how dare that bastard!

  Su Wan giggled at his outburst and with a tilt of her head, she continued, " when I was young I often wondered whether there was something I did wrong because he obviously loved Su Lan a lot. You should have seen how she was treated at the Su house compared to me." She took a deep breath and calmed down as the memory of her past life started to flash in her head, the day her dad brought his mistress and illegitimate daughter, the day he sent her away and the day when he came to her house and slapped her silly when he lost all the money after gambling away his assets, her eyes coldly flashed as she cruelly wrenched herself out of those harsh memories, " They lived on what I gave them but they still called me useless and a money waster do you think I am one?"

  Lin Chen hurriedly clasped her hands as he shook his head, " of course not! How can that be? How can you be " he didnt say the words that her family used on her instead he determinedly stared at her and said firmly, " you are my miracle, I never said that but you are and I really love you."

  The wind rustled past them and Su Wan had to admit that's serious Lin Chen was indeed really handsome. She smiled at him as she looked him in the eye, " I love you too and don't tell the others but you are kind of my favourite too."

  Lin Chen's heart thumped but then he very carefully tried to regulate his thumping heart as he said, " You are saying that because you want to make me feel better don't you?"

  Su Wan placed a hand on her knee and cupped her chin as she glanced at him. She shook her head and said, " Do you remember what was the first thing that I cooked for you?"

  Lin Chen blinked his eyes, he didn't know why Su Wan was asking him that but he still nodded and said, " that will be shrimp porridge, How can I even forget that, it was my first time eating something so good."

  " A sweet talker aren't you?" said Su Wan with a teasing smile that caused Lin Chen to wave his hands as he stuttered, " No, I am not that's not what I was doing, I swear!"

  Su Wan laughed as she nodded, and took hold of his hand intertwining with hers. " I know and I also know that you might try to sweet-talk your way most of the time you are awfully honest and that's what I truly like about you." She gave him a smile that was as bright as the moon as she continued, " When I married you, I had many doubts. Including the one that made me even doubt myself whether I can even have a successful marriage or not with you all. There were many things that made me doubtful of myself, but then you praised me."

  " I did so what?"

  " You were the first one who praised me after a very long time." After her grandmother passed away she was sent back to her father's house. But neither her father nor her stepmother wanted her there and even Su Lan wasn't welcoming of her. So how could they praise her for anything good she did? They always nitpicked in her work and made her doubt herself, which was why she settled for a guy like Wang Tao, he treated her kindly even if it was a bare minimum… she still believed that he treated her really well. But after they married she became his human bank whom he sucked dry but never said two sweet words to praise her. And by the time she opened her restaurant she was praised by many but they were all strangers and quite honestly their praises were laden with greed- only Lin Chen who became her immediate family praised her and his praises made her feel really happy.

  " I was scared but you made me believe in myself…so why can't you believe in yourself a little."
