"You’ve been having people follow me, haven’t you? When they saw me being killed, they didn’t even try to stop it. Ha, you must have been waiting for me to die too,"
She scoffed with mockery, "I just don’t know why you suddenly changed your mind and decided to save me. Now that I’m still alive, are you disappointed?"
That was the only possibility she could think of, and it was also the most likely.
Just the thought of such a possibility sent shivers down the spine.
Why are human hearts so terrifying?
Her chin suddenly tightened as Tang Yuchen gripped it, his face turning an ashen green with anger. To think she saw him that way, he might as well not have saved her.
"An Ruo, if I wanted you dead, would I need to save you? If I knew An Xin was going to harm you, would I have punished her for your sake? What’s in your head, tofu dregs?"
"Then how did you find me?" An Ruo countered, but she was somewhat convinced by him, perhaps he hadn’t seen An Xin trying to harm her.
"With my skills, do you think it’s hard to find someone?" He countered rather than answering, and An Ruo could only guess that he really might have incredible abilities.
Forget it, it didn’t matter how he found her, as long as he didn’t just stand by and watch.
An Ruo was suddenly startled by her own thoughts.
What did it matter to her if he just stood by and watched?
"Alright, fine, I wronged you, okay?" She apologized to him uncomfortably, though without much sincerity.
Tang Yuchen looked at her, his lips curling into a teasing smile, "Is that you apologizing to me? If you’re going to apologize, show some sincerity. Don’t forget, I’m the one who saved you."
"I’m sorry." An Ruo said the three words quite straightforwardly; after all, saying them wouldn’t cost her a piece of flesh.
"Not sincere enough."
"Then what on earth do you want?" she asked, glancing sideways at him.
The man pointed a finger at his lips, "Here, kiss me."
An Ruo’s cheeks flushed red; it was simply impossible for her to take the initiative to kiss him!
Tang Yuchen grabbed her wrist, pulling her closer, his burning gaze locking onto her, "What, you dare not? I saved your life, and you can’t even kiss me? An Ruo, is this how you repay your savior?"
An Ruo shrank back, but alas, behind her was the headboard; she had no escape.
"Why are you ? Who does something after saving someone, demanding such recompense? Then your good deed seems to have an ulterior motive."
Tang Yuchen smiled wickedly, "I’ve never deigned to do a good deed. When I do one, I expect a return; only fools do good things without expecting anything in return!"
An Ruo was speechless, "You clearly didn’t do well in your moral education classes!"
"Are you lecturing me on morality?" he asked incredulously.
"..." An Ruo felt her brain must have short-circuited; are the words ’morality’ even in his world?
"Forget I said anything."
"Good that you understand. Now, can you kiss me? In the old days, there was repaying with one’s body; I won’t ask for your body, just a kiss. See, I am still moral," someone shamelessly said.
An Ruo really wanted to roll her eyes.
She was already married to him; of course, there was no need for such a repayment.
Tang Yuchen threatened lightly, "You don’t have to kiss if you don’t want to, but are you sure you won’t regret it?"
Not kissing could result in greater losses, being taken advantage of even more...
An Ruo gritted her teeth and said, "Fine, I’ll kiss."
