The Rest Of My Life Is For You

She thanked him for giving her the chance to experience a completely different life during the past month.

This was the first time she was so clearly aware that her life belonged to herself.

She was allowed to be in control of her own emotions; she could appreciate such beautiful scenery in a leisure manner…

She had never had the chance to experience these feelings before.

From the very moment she was born, it had already been decided that her life was reserved to protect the Elder Miss of the Mo Family.

Nothing bad must happen to Nian Xiaomu as long as she was alive.

She had grown up with Nian Xiaomu and she was already used to hiding in a dark corner and being a shadow that no one could detect.

Xiao Mumu was very nice to her.

She was so nice, that Tan Bengbeng would be willing to sacrifice everything just to protect her even if she was not carrying out her family's mission.

Even though she was the secret guard, Nian Xiaomu would always block herself in front of her whenever they met with any danger and urge her to run away quickly…

Tan Bengbeng had willingly stayed guard by her side.

However, it had never crossed her mind what kind of life she would be leading and what kind of people she would get to know if she hadn't been born into the Tan family, or if the Tan family was not the guardian family of the Mo Family.

Would she be like the other ordinary girls who would follow a prescribed order and anxiously study day and night for impending examinations?

Or would she secretly carry a torch for someone, and roll up a love letter during lessons as she hesitated whether to pluck up the courage and confess her feelings?

However, Tan Bengbeng had experienced everything throughout her lifetime. One thing that she admired the most, however, were people who could be troubled over the tiniest and most ordinary things in life.

She had actually had a taste of such a life before in the Tan Family when both her elder brother and herself were very young.

Her brother was slightly older than her and he loved to protect her.

He would let her have everything.

When she was learning medical science at a young age, there were too many unfamiliar theories and she always had a hard time remembering them. At that time, the house rules were very strict and she was frequently punished.

Her brother would always secretly pass her tiny notes during her tests or take the punishments on her behalf.

Afterward, she led a similarly peaceful life when she fled to City H with Nian Xiaomu and took up the identity of a normal doctor.

At times, she wondered if she should tell Nian Xiaomu about her painful past so that she could take her revenge, just in case there came a time when she could not recall anything that had happened previously.

Or should she stay guard by her side just like this, and watch as she lived a happy life…

The gears of destiny are always silently moving.

The only thing that Tan Bengbeng had not expected in her life was Qi Yan's appearance.

He had saved her.

Even though she harbored a tinge of hatred toward him when he ruined her innocence; even though she had a fair share of being angry when he had bullied her.

The past month of carefree life was something that she had never experienced in this life of hers.

She did not have to be so tense and be wary of everything.

She only had to worry about how would Qi Yan torment her every day when she woke up.

She would accompany him to the herb garden to collect the herbs.

She would clean up the house and cook for him…

Even though it was a seemingly simple life, she felt a sense of peace, something that she had never experienced before.

If she was not Tan Bengbeng, she might perhaps have been inclined to stay on this island forever to collect herbs and fish in the sea every day.

She could listen to the sounds of the sea and watch the sunrise and sunset. Just like this, she could lead her remaining life in this state of tranquility and peace…

Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs" in life.

She had a mission to fulfill.

Just like how the sunrise and sunset were a form of routine.

Everyone has a different life track to complete…

For her, she was destined to live and die for Nian Xiaomu.
