“You will understand in the future,” Chu Yi Feng was damp in his smile, “It’s my fortune if I can have you in my life, if not, then it can only be my fate. In the future if you choose Di Cang then I will settle all barriers for you in order for you to marry him.”
Looking up with shock in her eyes, Bai Yan never thought the man whom she’s taken as her own family would be so tolerant. Even if I marry another person, he would continue to remove all barriers like before?
“Yi Feng,” her voice quivering, “I owe you too much already. There’s no need for you to go to such extent for me.”
“No,” the man refutes her claim, “perhaps its my debt to you in my last life, that’s why I’m here to repay you.”
Perhaps its my debt to you in my last life, that’s why I’m here to repay you…..
This remark was like a merciless strike against the woman’s heart, causing her to tremble all over.
Bai Yan remembers it well. Her brother Bai Xiao also said the very same words to her back then….
Yet, the true person to owe anyone was herself, not them!
“Yi Feng,” slowly coming before her godbrother, Bai Yan wholeheartedly gives the man a deep hug to express her emotions. “No matter what in the future, you will always be my son’s godfather and my loved one!”
Stiffening in his body at first over the statement, Chu Yi Feng then gently uses his fingers to caress the girl’s hair like a loving brother, “Okay.”
As long as I can stay by her side then that’s enough. What else can I ask for?
……
By the time Bai Yan returned to the Dong family’s estate the day was already getting late. Since the crowd have mostly dispersed by now, she figured its best she made another visit to her cousin Lan Xiaoyun for the outcome. Sadly, she never made it that far.
Right before she could make it across the wing where her cousin lies, a powerful pair of arms had suddenly snatched out from one of the rooms and pulled her in, all the while not forgetting to slam the door behind them to give the pair some privacy.
“Mhmmmm……” Widening her eyes in surprise, Bai Yan didn’t have any time to react at all.
It was a kiss that caught the woman by surprise. Pressing down against those lips, she could not speak nor refuse that tongue. Then just as she thought she’s going to suffocate, her reflexes finally kicked in and she bit down at that ill-behaving lip to make him release that grip.
“Di Cang you crazy bastard, what are you doing!?” Now that she’s free from that demon grasp, she instantly roars out with fire in her eyes.
“Yes, I am crazy! Just thinking about how you spent all those years with that man is driving me insane!” Licking the blood from the corner of his mouth, Di Cang’s entire being was exuding an aura of jealousy.
Startled by the appearance, Bai Yan’s anger actually subsided somewhat: “Di Cang, are you jealous of Yi Feng?”
No answer ever came for the longest time, leaving her to believe that’s exactly the case here. However, the next words that came from that demonic man’s mouth completely took her by surprise due to how blunt and honest it was: “Yes, I am jealous of him.”
“Di Cang, you… did you really fall in love with me?”
“If being jealous of someone means I’m in love then yes, I am in love with you.”
Boom!
Like the thunder in the sky, Bai Yan’s brain directly exploded.
Why?
Why would I be frightened by this fact instead of being flattered or happy?
Then again, his confession isn’t exactly worthy of applause. Look at how chilly and gloomy he is!
“Yan Yan,” to see how ghostly white the woman was after his confession, Di Cang only got more confident and chased it with another question. “Since our feelings are true, when will you marry me?”
What when did we become lovers?
Only a ghost would be your lover!
Going sharp in her eyes, Bai Yan flatly states her term: “You want me to marry you? Alright, you must abide by my rules then.”
“Say it then,” Di Cang’s replied without a moment of delay.
