Remember Self-Control: Bossy Husband Loves Me Deep to Soul

Proofread by He Li

Driving to the convalescent hospital where Feng Ling stays, Gong Siming thinks a lot, but he surprisingly finds that his memory of Feng Ling has been gradually vague with time going by.

More of his memory is concerning Si Wan, including her stubbornness, tolerance, pain and reluctance.

“No, Feng Ling is the one I love, how could I care about such a mean woman?”

Muttering to himself, Gong Siming bangs on the steering wheel with his fist.

But Yan Xiuya’s words ring in his ears: “Si Wan is true to you. You should not have a bias against her…”

For outsiders, does he really seem to have a bias against Si Wan? Gong Siming feels confused, how does he feel about her on earth?

“Feng Ling, I’m here to see you.” Pushing the door gently, Gong Siming says slightly to the person lying on the bed. The pretty girl lies still in bed, and only the sound of machines can be heard in the ward.

“You are still asleep, when will you wake up?” Gong Siming sighs slightly. Sitting beside her, he pulls up the quilt and tucks her in carefully.

Yan Xiuya’s words keep ringing in his ears, what is exactly his affection for Feng Ling? Mother has said that he confuses sympathy with love, is that true? His affection for Feng Ling is just sympathy instead of love?

“Feng Ling, please wake up. I know that marrying Si Wan is unfair to you. But you can’t simply lie here if you feel wronged. Please wake up. Perhaps when you wake up, I will know how deeply I love you.”

Looking at Feng Ling who is asleep, Gong Siming loses himself in his thoughts. He is getting more and more confused since he knows Si Wan will leave. It is really strange that his first reaction is not feeling happy as he expected, instead, he feels reluctant to say goodbye.

The water in the oxygen bottle bubbles, and a low sigh spreads in the ward. Looking at Feng Ling’s sleeping face, for the first time Gong Siming hopes to escape.

“Ring. Ring…” The phone shrills, which interrupts Gong Siming’s train of thought. Taking out his mobile phone, he takes a look at the number and then feels a little annoyed.

“Grandfather.” Gong Siming utters with his voice full of reluctance.

“Why, do you feel reluctant to answer your grandfather’s call?” The sudden question of grandfather Gong makes Gong Siming kind of resigned.

“How could it be? I would feel only glad if receiving your call. Grandfather, what’s the matter?” Walking out of the ward, Gong Siming shuts the door behind him.

Hearing the sound from the side of Gong Siming, grandfather Gong accordingly asks him: “Where are you, brat?”

“I am…” Gong Siming bites back the words, if grandfather knows that he comes to see Feng Ling, probably he will get quite a blowing up, “I’m outside, anything wrong?”

“Of course there is something wrong.” Grandfather starts to shout, “Think about it yourself how long have you stayed out? Do you remember where your house is? Is this family still in your heart?”

Gong Siming listens to his grandfather’s reprimand without saying one word, until his grandfather takes a breath, he says slowly.

“Grandfather, today I won’t come back, either…”Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

“You dare! Let me put it to you, from now on, you must go back home every day after work. Don’t go anywhere else, otherwise you are winding me up!” The noise of knocking the crutch on the floor, which is made by his grandfather, is heard by Gong Siming clearly. Rubbing his aching temples, he knows that he has to go back this time.

“I know.” Turning a deaf ear to grandfather who gets extremely angry, Gong Siming hangs up.

Grandfather Gong stamps his feet for Gong Siming’s hanging up. But he can do nothing to change Gong Siming’s attitude. Although he doesn’t want Si Wan to leave, as in his opinion, she is the only person who deserves the Gong Family; however, the brat only cares about another woman every day, which always makes him furious.

“The young host is coming back today, prepare some dishes he likes.” Giving a sigh, grandfather Gong tells the servants to make the dishes that Gong Siming likes. Since recently he hasn’t been home, it’s possible that he didn’t even have a proper meal.

“Oh, I remember, tell the young hostess to come back early as well.” Before he goes upstairs, grandfather Gong exhorts the servants again and again.

In the evening, Gong Siming returns to his home as asked. The sumptuous dinner on the table brings the water to people’s mouth.

“Why hasn’t Si Wan come back yet?” Grandfather asks Yan Xiuya who looks quite awkward.

“Recently there are lots of corporate affairs; perhaps she is busy dealing with her work…” Yan Xiuya forces a smile and looks at Gong Siming’s father who hurries to get his wife out of trouble.

“Call the young hostess, tell her to hurry back.” Gong Siming’s father gestures toward the servant beside him who immediately goes to make the call. Gong Siming becomes a little impatient after seeing this.

“I didn’t expect that she’s busier than me. Don’t wait for her any more. Let us eat first.”

“Just wait!” Grandfather Gong stares at Gong Siming, which forces him to give up and wait together.

In the company, Si Wan is busy dealing with her work, without noticing that night has fallen quietly. In a big plight, she has no time to pick up the ringing phone. It is Xiaoyu who sees the number of the Gong Family, and passes the phone to Si Wan immediately.

“Director, you need to pick up the phone no matter how busy you are. Perhaps it’s the call from Boss Gong who wants to show his care.” Blinking her big eyes, Xiaoyu passes the phone excitedly to Si Wan who is too busy to pay attention to Xiaoyu’s teasing.

“Impossible. Help me pick up the phone. If it’s from the villa of the Gong Family, just tell them that I won’t go back for dinner.”

Si Wan waves her hand, and then goes back to the pile of documents. Curling her lip, Xiaoyu picks up the phone.

“Hello, hostess…Gong, please hang on…” Being astonished, Xiaoyu hurries to Si Wan without saying too much on the phone, as though confronted by a formidable enemy.

Taking the phone from Xiaoyu, Si Wan ignores her exaggerated look. It’s just a call, isn’t it? Why using lip language?

Picking up the phone, the calm voice comes from the other side; suddenly Si Wan understands the reason why Xiaoyu turns so exaggerated. “Mother? It’s you? I’m afraid that I will go back late tonight, as you know, I have entire charge of this project, and I’m busy dealing with it…”

“Just come back tonight. I will arrange someone else to deal with the project, so you can take a rest at home in the coming days.” Despite Yan Xiuya’s soft voice, Si Wan finds it irresistible. She feels a little strange: is there anything wrong with the project in her charge?

“Mother, did I do anything wrong?” Si Wan asks carefully. Despite Yan Xiuya’s reserved and gentle personality, she never tolerates mistakes. Did she make any mistakes that she failed to notice?

“No, you’ve done a good job. Just go back, consider this as your holiday.” After her words, Yan Xiuya hangs up. If Si Wan had answered the previous calls, Yan Xiuya would not have been forced to make that call in person. Seeing the gloomy face of her father-in-law, she knows that he is blaming her for arranging too much work for Si Wan.

For a better relationship between them, Yan Xiuya has to temporarily reduce the workload of Si Wan. She decides to give Si Wan a one-week off this time.
