Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Qingxue, I swear, I swear… I don’t have any feelings for Song Enya, and I don’t have any feelings for other women! You are the one for me, I’ve decided on you, I’m willing to protect you, and protect only you… No one can take me away from you, not even if they tried. You’re the one for me…”
There was a rare tenderness in Mu Yanchen’s eyes. He gently kissed her forehead, and then the corner of her eye. He kissed away her warm tears and finally sealed his lips tightly over hers.
“Yanchen, I want to be with you for the rest of my life…” Meng Qingxue hugged his shoulders and confessed her deepest feelings. “You are in every vision I have of my own future. I had once thought of giving up on you, but I couldn’t bring myself to… I just couldn’t…”
Mu Yanchen’s heart ached terribly. He suddenly felt that he owed this woman too much.
He always made her cry, made her wait, disappointed her time and again.
At first, he thought that she was just like all the other women, she didn’t seem especially outstanding.
However, it was only until the day he lost her that he felt like he had lost his mind and searched the entire city for her.
Only then did he realize that she held an important place in his heart.
Initially, he was with her only because of her good looks and figure; she was like a breath of fresh air.
She was never a burden to him because of her desire to please and her sensibility. In fact, every time he returned to her side, he felt as if he had returned to the comfort of home.
Eventually, when pa.s.sion turned cold and the relations.h.i.+p gradually lost its novelty, being together became only a habit.
He got used to waking up in the mornings with her in his arms.
He got used to having her there when he was down.
He got used to her gentle words and soft spoken nature.
He got used to her warm embrace.
He realized then just how important she was.
He was born and grew up in an environment where being arrogant was his birthright, yet he lacked a sense of security. Every step he took was an uncertainty, and he had no sense of belonging.
Thus, he had always been determined to build a fortress and isolate himself within it.
The fact was, he was unbelievably fragile.
He had to admit, he was not as outstanding as Mu Yazhe.
That kind of man was too perfect and too dazzling. He tried keeping up with the man, but in the end, he only ended up looking bad and like a joke in comparison, despite doing his best!
He was unwilling to accept defeat, and that was why he was deeply hurt by her unintentional words.
“Qingxue, I love you. I really love you.”
These words had been in his heart for a long time, but every time he wanted to confess his feelings, he was too embarra.s.sed to say them, so he held back.
And right now, no matter what, he had to make this confession to her!
“I want to give you the best in life! Even if I have to resort to all means, I want to provide for you, so that you will never have to worry!” Mu Yanchen gently brushed his lips along her hairline and smiled. “Don’t think too much about it. You don’t have to fight for anything. I’m yours. I belong to you, you understand?”
“Yes…” Meng Qingxue could only cry as she hugged him tightly.
Do I have to rip my heart out to show you how I feel about you? Would this make you cherish me a little more?!
Would this make you cherish me a little more?!
Her words echoed in his ears.
Mu Yanchen felt as though his heart was pierced by a thousand arrows as he drew her even closer towards himself.
“I will cherish you from now on.”
“Okay…”
