As she listened to such a proud man telling her about his fears of losing her , Rong Xinghe"s heart started beating rapidly. Although she knew that he loved her , she had never expected him to confess his deep worries like this so openly. Judging by how tightly he was holding her into his arms , she could tell that he had a lot more to say. So the girl stayed frozen into the man"s embrace silently."I should be the one apologizing here. It was completely natural for you to yell at me. I might have reacted the same way if someone had randomly underestimated my professionalism. I was the one at fault here. I know how amazing and skilful you are , when it comes to combat. I have seen you kill terrorists , for G.o.d"s sake. I have seen you plan all those underwater naval attacks and all those air force defences. Yet , I a.s.sumed that you were behaving impulsively. I am really sorry , my love.
"But I really can"t imagine my life without you. Especially when this matter involved the Werewolf Crew , I just couldn"t let you go like this. I saw them kill my grandparents when I was fifteen , Xinghe. I just...", the man choked on his words.
"You imagined me being killed by the gang ?", the girl completed the man"s sentence as realization struck her. It seemed like her darling was really frightened by the thought of losing her this time. And why not ? His terrifying childhood memories were a.s.sociated with this underworld gang. It was totally normal for him to try to protect the person he loved , considering the fact that he wasn"t able to save his grandparents.
The man nodded his head in admission as he continued speaking ,"Xinghe , you ar perfect. You are capable of protecting yourself too. But I just wish for you to not take your life so casually. I can"t afford to lose my Queen. Please. I beg you. No matter what mission you select , prioritize your security as well. If you promise me that , I will never interfere with your work. You can do whatever you want then. I will always be there for you , but behind the scenes."
The moment the man stopped speaking , tears rolled down Rong Xinghe"s cheeks. Ever since she was a child , she had grown up to be an independant individual. She had never been as emotionally close with someone as she was with Xi Yuan.
Although she and her brothers shared a pretty close bond too , her relations.h.i.+p with Xi Yuan was different. Her brothers had their own families to take care of. But this guy had been proritizing her ever since she walked into his life. No matter how uncertain she was , he had always been optimistic about thieir relations.h.i.+p. And now that everything was perfect between them , he didn"t had the courage to imagine his life without her. Just how much did he loved her , the girl thought worriedly.
Xi Yuan could obviously not see Rong Xinghe crying like that. So he quickly separated himself from her and wiped her tears hurriedly.
"I am so sorry ! Please don"t cry, Xinghe. I know I was wrong. I won"t...", the man tried to pacify the girl.
But before he could even complete his sentence , a pair of soft lips brushed against his as the couple shared a sweet short intimate moment. The girl then loosened her grip around the man"s neck and buried her head into his shoulders. She then looked up at the man and whispered in his ears.
"I promise to keep myself safe. Just let"s never fight again. Okay ?", the girl mumbled weakly as she was left with no more strength to talk further. Before the man could reply anything , the girl closed her eyes and fell unconscious in his arms.
Xi Yuan kept looking at the angel in his embrace for few seconds before a genuine smile crept across his lips. He then leaned in against the girl and kissed her forehead tenderly.
"Okay."
He didn"t liked it as well , after all. However , this discussion was important for the both of them. They knew about each other"s intentions and concerns now , at least.
The man gently placed the girl"s head above one of the pillows and pulled up the blankets for her. He then simply lied down beside the girl after switching the lights off. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
After checking for other wounds on the girl"s body , the man finally breathed a sigh of relief and pulled her in his warm embrace. Gradually , he also fell asleep after observing the girl"s pure and serene sleepy expression for sometime.

2:00 a.m. , Midnight
Two men walked into the girl"s bedroom , in order to check onto their sister. Zhi Xi and Lu Wei were already informed about the Werewolf Crew incident and Xinguan"s argument by Zhi Al , earlier that noon. But unexpectedly , the couple didn"t seemed like they ever had any form of disagreement. Instead , both the man and their sister were sleeping in a composed and carefree manner.
"They handled the situation pretty well , didn"t they ?", Zhi Xi smiled as he caressed Rong Xinghe"s head , attempting to check her injury ,"The wound doesn"t seem to be too deep."
"It isn"t. Rogguang already checked on her medical reports.", said Lu Wei as he walked towards Xi Yuan"s side of the bed and covered him with the blanket too ,"This lad needs to take his health into consideration too. He has just recuperated from that attack , after all."
As Zhi Xi saw Lu Wei placing the girl"s favorite cus.h.i.+on under Xi Yuan"s head , he felt as if something was wrong with his eyes.
"What is it ?", asked Lu Wei.
"Are you really doing it , Wei ? I mean... accepting him in her life ?", Zhi Xi asked seriously.
"I think its not too bad of an idea.", the man replied ,"He clearly loves her , Xi. He doesn"t even care about his position , authority and reputation , when it comes to protecting her dignity. Moreover , its like they both are destined to be together. He literally fought his death to come back to our Kiddo. In fact , the first person he recalled as soon as he got back his consciousness was Xinghe.
"He prioritizes her and cherishes her presence , just like us. He doesn"t even mind lowering his standards for her. He goes to local markets and restaurants with her , just because that lifts up her mood. I don"t mind giving him the chance. Who knows ? He might actually be the prince charming to our princess."
