Dear Mr. Shi-Chapter 897. The Last Choice

Wen Zhaozhao chuckled lightly, "Dad, Annuo has never said a bad word about Han Qianqian." 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Wen’s father’s gaze deepened, and after that he didn’t speak of anything related to Shi Annuo again.

But it seemed that his impression of Shi Annuo had indeed improved somewhat.

He wouldn’t, as before, sour his face upon the mention of Shi Annuo’s name.

However, being slightly more amiable did not mean that he had completely forgiven and accepted Shi Annuo, agreeing to let Shi Annuo become his son-in-law.

After Shi Annuo left, Wen Zhaozhao thought that she would receive a phone call from him, but it never came; honestly, Wen Zhaozhao was a bit worried about Shi Annuo.

In the afternoon, she went out for a round but didn’t see Shi Annuo; she thought that though Annuo didn’t call her, he would probably be around, only to realize it was a misconception.

"Let me carry that." Suddenly, someone considerately took the shopping bag from her hands.

Wen Zhaozhao looked up and saw a familiar face, unable not to lift the corners of her lips slightly.

But then she coughed lightly, pretending to be pleasantly surprised as she glanced at him and said, "I’m so grateful, but you are not the type of man to be so domestically attentive..."

"I want to be attentive to you," Shi Annuo said with a smile. "To please you, there’s nothing wrong or right, I just want to... Zhaozhao, I’m... sorry."

As he spoke, he seemed at a loss for words, so he apologized.

"Annuo, have you made your decision?" Wen Zhaozhao asked, frowning.

"Zhaozhao, you’re so smart, there’s no need to play the guessing game anymore, you should know," Shi Annuo said, his gaze on her as intense as a black panther stalking its prey, revealing a determination that said you are mine.

Wen Zhaozhao didn’t speak, just moved forward in silence, and Shi Annuo also stayed quiet, only taking Wen Zhaozhao’s hand.

And Wen Zhaozhao didn’t pull away.

The setting sun cast their hand-in-hand shadow long, as if distancing them from all the previous troubles.

It felt like they walked a long time, yet the journey seemed so short, and soon they were approaching the Wen Family’s front door.

Wen Zhaozhao suddenly stopped and quietly said to Shi Annuo, "Annuo, I’ve never blamed you. Love is something that was never fair to begin with. I don’t care how much I give, nor do I pine for you to at least have me in your eyes, for I have always known that it’s her you love... Even before marrying you, I never dared to hope to be with you; I just wished to be by your side, even if just to iron your shirts."

"Zhaozhao, I will never let you down!" Shi Annuo proclaimed passionately.

Wen Zhaozhao chuckled, "Me saying this isn’t to elicit a promise from you, but to tell you that I truly love you. I’m willing to wash your clothes, clean, cook, be the little woman by your side. No matter how trivial the matters, as long as I am by your side, I will feel very happy."

"Zhaozhao, are you saying..." Shi Annuo suddenly became agitated.

Wen Zhaozhao took the bag from his hand, "I mean that I won’t divorce you anymore. I also don’t want to be misunderstood as playing hard to get. I want you to decide. Think about it tonight, who you will choose between me and Han Qianqian. Annuo, don’t be sorry!! I say all this only hoping that you’ll listen to the most earnest desire in your heart. Asking for it or giving apologetically, to me, it’s all a form of extortion. What I want is your willing devotion! In our marriage, I was not hurt but found much happiness. If in the end you still choose me, then come and visit my parents tomorrow; I’ll be waiting for you at home. Otherwise, I will still wish you well..."
