Chapter 1226 - 1223: Dearest Secret 6

If she didn’t look, it was fine. But once she did, she realized that this wasn’t a property agreement at all. It was clearly the financial status report and business briefing of the entire Wan Family Group: movable and immovable assets, new and old projects... various investments... industries distributed around the globe... as well as future industrial allocations and directions, all explained thoroughly.

After reading this agreement, in essence, she had a complete and thorough understanding of the Wan Family’s industrial structure.

She read it very carefully, from beginning to end.

From noon till evening.

The content in between was simply too much, and she became somewhat weary. Just as she intended to put it down, she inadvertently turned to the second last page and discovered it was in handwritten script.

She found it quite mysterious and immediately flipped back, realizing that the previous three whole pages were also in handwriting: Wan Donglin’s own penmanship.

"... Xixi, when you see these pages, it proves that you already have the most detailed and comprehensive understanding of the Wan Family’s business. Of course, for more specifics, I’ll arrange for specialized guidance later. This is your first step in learning, I suppose. When you proposed the prenuptial agreement, I really hadn’t thought of this, even forgotten to consider it completely. It’s not that I don’t understand protection measures like this, but I was so immersed in the joy of our reunion that I forgot everything else entirely. At that time, all I wanted was to marry you immediately, nothing else needed to be considered, and wasn’t worth considering..."

"Xixi, you don’t know the ecstasy I felt upon discovering you’re alive. You’ll never know the pain and sorrow I felt when I lost you... Even though you never brought up the matter afterward, I have always hated myself, feeling that my mistake was utterly unforgivable. I’ve asked myself countless times: if you had really boarded that plane, could all my subsequent searches, sacrifices, and self-blame have any shred of meaning? Just like a murderer, sincerely apologizing to the victim after the crime, does it have any significance?"

"It’s perfectly normal for you to hold onto it; I totally understand. Huang Xiaojue was never the barrier between us, nor was Li Zhen. Only this one demon in your heart remains the unresolved knot..."

"Xixi, you’ve always believed I don’t love you enough! At least, not as much as Huang Xiaojue does. Thus, this led to your fear of marriage, your dread of the future. It took me a long time to realize this, and only then did I understand how terrifying my neglect and indifference to you over the past two years had been. But I already know my mistake, and I have been changing, constantly striving to put you in the most important position in my life..."

"It’s just, when facing you, I always feel embarrassed to say it out loud, embarrassed to apologize, because even I feel that my apologies and regrets come too late and too insincerity..."

"You say, to prevent unforeseen circumstances, not to make things ugly later. Indeed, not until you brought it up did I seriously consider this issue. During the period when you went missing, I was filled with regret, guilty, heartbroken, nearly insane. I wished for a miracle thousands of times, repeatedly asking myself: if I gave up everything for you to live and stand before me, would I be willing? The answer is yes! Every single time, yes! I would rather give up everything to get your life back! Even forfeiting my own life is not out of the question!!!"

"Since I am willing to give up all my assets and my life, why would I be bothered about whether my intentions might change in the long years to come?!! No, Xixi, marrying you is a very mature consideration and a lifetime plan. I am not afraid of any changes, nor will I give you any opportunity for change—because I will bind you with love, even if it’s selfish, stubborn, I must bind you for a lifetime, make you willingly live with me and bear children together..."

"Xixi, I love you, this love will never change in a lifetime!"

"Hereby, I, Wan Donglin, solemnly promise: all my past, present, and future assets, are voluntarily shared with Yan Xixi, without distinction. Under any condition, Yan Xixi has the right to share all my assets. This promise will be valid for a lifetime, unchanged by any event, with no strings attached..."

...

Her hand went limp, and the thick pile of documents fell to the ground.

Yan Xixi covered her face with both hands, tears streaming down like rain.

So, it was like this all along.

(This piece will end at the end of this month. Haha, as for whether the ending is a tragedy or a comedy—no need to say, the usual rule!! Readers who are familiar with me know.)
