Lin Xinlan wrapped her arms around him, indulging in his passion, with every cell in her body excitedly clamoring.
Finally, she was back by his side, able to embrace him , no longer having to endure the agony of yearning.
Rong Shaoze shared the same thoughts and was also very happy to embrace her, to kiss her again...
He kissed her for a long time, reluctantly letting go of her lips only after much hesitation.
Lin Xinlan’s eyes were blurred with emotion. Even if her beauty were to fade, her eyes remained stunning, and her features retained a trace of charm.
She gazed at Rong Shaoze’s handsome face, foolishly mesmerized by him.
This outstanding man, who loved her deeply, made her feel happier than any woman in the world.
Rong Shaoze also looked deeply into her eyes.
The two had not seen each other for a long time, and now that they were finally reunited, just looking at each other made them feel content and joyful.
"How did you find me?" Lin Xinlan asked with a smile as she sat in his arms, raising her hand to caress his face.
Rong Shaoze gazed at her and shared the method he used to find her.
After hearing this, Lin Xinlan felt deeply moved.
If Rong Shaoze hadn’t understood her so well, he probably couldn’t have found her. Fortunately, he knew her well.
Her hand touched his somewhat gaunt face, and she said with concern, "You’ve lost weight."
The man felt even more distressed than her, "You’ve lost much more."
"I lost weight because of aging..." Lin Xinlan attempted to argue, but this only made their hearts ache even more.
Rong Shaoze gripped her hand tightly, speaking earnestly, "Xinlan, I promise I won’t let anything happen to you, you believe me."
"Mhm, I believe you," she said, nodding with a smile.
Suddenly, the man’s expression changed. He fiercely slapped her on the buttocks, causing a burning pain.
Lin Xinlan was stunned and asked with a sense of grievance, "Why did you hit me?"
"I’m hitting you! If you dare to run away and leave me alone again, I’ll hit you so hard you won’t be able to get out of bed, and we’ll see where you can run!" Rong Shaoze glared at her, warning her fiercely.
"I had no choice but to..."
"Xinlan!" Rong Shaoze suddenly embraced her tightly, his body trembling slightly, "Don’t ever do this again! You don’t know how cruel you were, do you realize you were almost taking my life?!"
Hearing his voice shaken with fear, Lin Xinlan felt a violent tremor in her soul, and the sensation was unpleasant.
"Rong Shaoze..." she choked up as she held his head, sobbing, "I’m sorry, it’s all my fault, I’m sorry..."
Apart from apologizing, she didn’t know what else to say.
She hadn’t realized that her departure had hurt him so deeply.
Rong Shaoze held her even tighter and said in a muffled voice, "Do you know how much pain I was in when you left me? I thought I had died, but when I woke up, I realized you had truly disappeared. I really wished I could have stayed unconscious forever, it would have been less painful..."
"What happened to you?" Lin Xinlan asked anxiously.
Rong Shaoze looked up, his dark eyes meeting hers, and said solemnly, "Don’t worry, I had just read the letter you left for me, and then I didn’t know how to breathe and fainted."
Lin Xinlan’s eyes widened, her complexion turning pale.
He caressed her face gently and said lightly, "I just fainted, I didn’t die. Don’t be so sad. I’ve got a strong life force. I even drank myself into a stupor daily and after several bouts of gastric bleeding, I still didn’t die. You see, heaven really looks after me."
