Chapter 19 Cleft Lip and Palate

woke up again in the villa. Yunxi woke up in her room, hugging Shen Mingxu's waist and resting her head on his arm. After listening to his heartbeat all night, she was like a little baby and could no longer leave him.

Last night, although Shen Mingxu only had one strong leg, he was young after all. With the guidance of instinct, he successfully led Yunxi to the peak of happiness.

Time and time again, the first time Yunxi could still compete with him and respond to him; the second time, Yunxi began to surrender, and naturally she was not let go; when the third time, Yunxi wanted to run, Shen Mingxu grabbed her ankle and pulled her back into his arms, and took it again with ease.

Yunxi was also a female warrior. Her whole body seemed to be broken. She still remembered to take a shower and even wiped the body of Shen Mingxu, who was lying motionless on the bed. In the end, she forced herself not to sleep and even went out. "I'll go to your room for a while. Wait."

Shen Mingxu was also surprised at her slender body. How could she still have the strength to get up? "What are you going to do?"

"Get your Abebe." She brought the small wool blanket wrapped around his legs.

"You are here. No need to get it. Go to sleep." Reaching out from the quilt and grabbing her hand, Shen Mingxu spoke lazily and ambiguously. His eyes were too tired to open again.

Yunxi was held in his arms in the quilt, her body gradually warmed up, her smooth calves pressed against his cold legs, naturally warming his disabled left leg. Before going to bed, Shen Mingxu did not forget to cheer her up and ask her, "Are you scared?"

She shook her head vigorously in his arms. Feeling her as cute and well-behaved as a kitten, Shen Mingxu wrapped his big hands around Yunxi's thin body and soon fell asleep.

Yunxi's room was filled with flowers in the living room. The two woke up in the bedroom smelling the faint fragrance of flowers. The morning light shone into the room through the beige window screens, gently sprinkling at their feet. Time seemed to slow down, and the beautiful moments were deeply imprinted in each other's memories.

"Is your arm so painful?" Yunxi rubbed off his arm, turned over in the quilt, and changed to a prone position to rub Shen Mingxu's arm.

"It doesn't hurt. I held you all night." The man's voice was hoarse in the morning, with a different kind of sexy charm. He raised his hand and gently touched her face, brushing away her hair. Shen Mingxu blinked, but still couldn't see Yunxi's expression clearly. He half-opened and half-closed his eyes and began to reach for his glasses on the bedside table.

"I'll get it for you." Kneeling up from the quilt, Yunxi took Shen Mingxu's glasses and put them on him, and touched his chin with green stubble, full of teasing.

Sitting up with both hands, Shen Mingxu stretched out one hand to hug Yunxi, but the pain from his knee made him stop, and his hand hung in the air.

"You? Leg hurts?" She was sensitive to his discomfort.

He agreed.

"I'll help you rub it." Yunxi knelt on the bed, and her little hand had already covered Shen Mingxu's left knee.

"I'm fine, a little stiff." Not moving much all night, and being pressed and entangled by her calf, Shen Mingxu's left leg was stiff and needed time to ease.

Yunxi's little hand had already touched the straight suture scar in the middle of her left knee. It was the mark left by the knee joint replacement. Shen Mingxu stopped her from massaging. He stretched out his long arms and pulled her back to the bed. He asked her in a hoarse voice, "Xiaoxi, are you really willing? Be with me."

"I am willing. You are so good." She certainly understood his concerns and lack of confidence, but compared with their love, in Yunxi's heart, other things were nothing.

Raising her chin to look at Shen Mingxu, Yunxi immediately answered him firmly, "Xiaoxu, you are very good to me, I know, and you trust me, you have no other thoughts, you are simply good to me. Because you are very good, you deserve it, so I love you."

Since she was very young, Yunxi had experienced many events that girls of the same age had never experienced because of her stunning appearance. Fortunately, she met Dean Shao, who was upright at the time. She was also determined and smart enough. She used her brain to protect herself in the midst of temptation and interests. Shao Yunxi didn't believe in love, but she believed in strength. It wasn't until she met an excellent boy like Shen Mingxu, who trusted her so much, liked her, and risked his life to protect her in dangerous moments, that her selfless dedication touched her heart.

He was never like other people, just to possess her, to demand her beauty and figure, not to think about her, and not to treat her sincerely.

Yunxi's answer was too straightforward and firm, and Shen Mingxu found a sense of security and believed that she loved him too.

After returning from the villa, Shen Mingxu transformed into a good home husband, gentle and considerate to Yunxi, encouraging her to return to the welfare home often to be a teacher for the children, and never forcing her to do anything. When he

returned to the Shen family mansion for dinner during the New Year, Shen Mingxu's eyes were still glued to Yunxi, wishing to be with her every minute.

Mrs. Shen saw that her youngest son liked Yunxi so much, and thought it was a sign that the child was mature and sensible. Shen Mingxu had walked out of the shadow of disability caused by the car accident and began to take on the responsibility of the family, which showed that he was already a mature man and was happy for the child.

When the two of them were going home, there were fewer cars on the road during the New Year holiday. Shen Mingxu, who had a rare free time, suddenly found something and gave Zhou Heng, who was driving, a direct order, "Brother, let's go to Nandu Art School."

"Okay." Zhou Heng never said much. He changed the route and went there directly.

The name of the old school was suddenly mentioned. Yunxi was sitting next to Shen Mingxu and was stunned. As they got closer to the school, she became more and more nervous. Shen Mingxu held her small hand with his big hand. He could feel that her hand was sweating a lot, wet and cold. Later, he simply hugged her in his arms to comfort her.

Arriving at the school gate, Zhou Heng parked the car on the side of the road without receiving any instructions. Shen Mingxu asked Yunxi, "Xiaoxi, your university, do you want me to accompany you in, let's take a walk?"

Holding him with her backhand, from the moment she saw the sign of "Nandu Art School", Yunxi put her face on his neck, and rubbed against him coquettishly for a long time, until Shen Mingxu could no longer bear the itchiness brought by her hair and breathed heavily, Yunxi spoke coquettishly, "No need to go in, I remembered that you are my boyfriend, and you often pick me up from school."

Sitting up straight with the help of the seat, Shen Mingxu tilted his head to look at her in surprise, and asked with surprise, joy, and laughter, "Xiaoxi, did you remember me today?"

"No, no, I've known you for a long time, but today I remembered everything, so many details, how we met, you drove to pick me up every day, we went out to play, and then, we had a car accident, I remembered everything..." Her hands kept grabbing his clothes, showing a nervous and excited state. Yunxi completely recovered her memory and remembered every bit of their love.

It was inconvenient for him to walk, so Shen Mingxu no longer insisted on going to school for a walk, and quickly returned home with Yunxi. After returning from the villa, the upgraded lovers tacitly lived together. At night, Yunxi helped him change his clothes, hugged Shen Mingxu's waist and acted coquettishly, thanking him for loving her and protecting her. Shen Mingxu couldn't help but kiss her sweet lips, kissing her again and again with lingering, tender and graceful kisses.

"I remember everything, about myself, but you don't know my life experience." She had something to say to him.

"Well, at that time, I was very surprised when you mentioned the welfare home. I only knew that you were in college, where your home was, and what your parents did, but I never knew." Since she was willing to talk about it, Shen Mingxu opened the topic.

The two of them were lying on the bed, and Yunxi held Shen Mingxu's stump with her little hand, gently massaging and telling him about her life experience, "I don't have a father or a mother. I am an abandoned orphan. I was adopted by the welfare home when I was very young. Dean Shao was very good to us... Really very good. Maybe my mother is like that."

She was so beautiful. Even when she was a child, she should have been an angel-like little girl. Who would be so hard-hearted as to abandon her? Under the soft bedroom light, Shen Mingxu observed Yunxi's expression. When he didn't see her sad face, he asked tentatively, "Xiaoxi, why did you abandon me? Because my family was poor? Because you are a girl?"

Not knowing where her eyes were looking, Yunxi answered slowly, "It should be because we were very poor. I was born with a cleft here, which is probably the main reason for being abandoned." Her slender fingertips touched her upper lip. Yunxi's confused eyes were ignorant and pitiful. How could she know the true thoughts of the person who abandoned him?

"Cleft lip and palate?" He understood her description, but Shen Mingxu's shock did not diminish at all.

"Yeah."

Holding the bed to steady himself, Shen Mingxu was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth. He hugged Yunxi and held her to his chest, touching and looking at her carefully. The delicate and small face was magnified in front of him. Even though his eyesight was very poor, he could still see her eyelashes clearly at such a close distance.

"There are no signs of repair, Xiaoxi, you are perfect." He hugged her and patted her back, intending to comfort the little girl who recalled the past. The cruel man who abandoned Yunxi would never have thought that she would be born so beautiful.

Yunxi has never been sad because she has never had a family or a father or a mother. She nodded and said seriously, "Really, maybe it's because I was abandoned." "

The director, teachers, and children of the welfare home are my family. After the operation, they taught me to read. As I grew up, they saw that I looked pretty good, so they asked me to learn dancing and playing the piano..." She wanted him to know her life experience and how she grew up. She was moved by Shen Mingxu, and she loved him selflessly and devotedly. Everything Yunxi told him was the truth.

The reason why she said so much was, on the one hand, out of emotion, and on the other hand, Yunxi also knew that she had been investigated by two important figures in the Shen family. It would be better for her to tell him first when they told Shen Mingxu about it, so as not to be too passive.

Whether she was poor or rich, Shen Mingxu didn't know whether she was an orphan in the past, and now he doesn't care. His love for Yunxi is pure. This girl is his love at first sight and the only one he loves. After falling in love with her, Shen Mingxu knew that he would never love anyone else in his life.

Yunxi never asked about his money. She seemed to have no desire for money, not even a little bit. She was like a fairy, really extraordinary.

Although she didn't know Shen Mingxu's work status, Yunxi could see that he was serious and rigorous in his work. She took care of him, helped him, and loved him, all from her heart. Her love with Shen Mingxu was destined to be unforgettable for life.

Shen Mingchen, the eldest son of the Shen family, was suspicious and introverted. He felt that Yunxi's too simple life experience and beautiful appearance were very inconsistent. Shen Mingchen had many concerns. For the sake of the family property and for long-term peace and prosperity, he decided to investigate Yunxi without authorization.

The results of the investigation made the eldest son feel relieved. Yunxi was really just a simple child who grew up in an orphanage. The result also made him feel more at ease, and he didn't take his brother and sister-in-law seriously at all.

Privately, even if they are married, it is still difficult for a wealthy family like the Shen family to fully trust a person. Coincidentally, although the purposes are different, Mrs. Shen also found professionals to investigate Yunxi.

The results of the investigation were still her life experience in an orphanage and her smart and self-reliant school experience, including injuries and amnesia caused by a car accident, etc., which made Mrs. Shen feel even more distressed for this beautiful and thin daughter-in-law. During the Spring Festival, she bought a lot of luxury gifts for the couple.

Yunxi saw the gifts that could be piled up into a small mountain, and she felt embarrassed to arrange a return gift for her mother-in-law. After receiving the thoughtful return gift, Mrs. Shen loved this sensible daughter-in-law even more. She hugged Yunxi and said, "My baby, you are so good to Xiaoxu, and you are my family. It is only right that I buy some gifts for you."
