Listening to the girl’s murmurs about their future, their son, feeling her genuine warmth, the man’s breath steady, he lowered his gaze and kissed the girl’s lips with determination…
Feeling the sudden heat on her lips, Ye Wanwan blinked her eyes, somewhat surprised.
Oh?
Are you being so enthusiastic today?
Perhaps the enthusiasm has gone a bit overboard, catching her off guard…!
She had originally planned to chat and ease into it a bit!
The man’s large palm covered the girl’s delicate skin, unable to restrain himself, he pressed her body against his chest.
Ye Wanwan keenly sensed the hidden unease in Si Yehan’s emotions at the moment, instinctively reaching out to touch his hair between his brows…
Si Yehan’s back suddenly stiffened, and then all movement came to a halt.
Ye Wanwan gently kissed Si Yehan’s chin, “Darling, what’s wrong? Is something the matter?”
After a silence that seemed to last for ages, Si Yehan finally spoke, “Wanwan… Have you really thought this through?”
Ever since he learned about his own background, he had been feeling an intense sense of unreality these days, as if he had been suspended in mid-air.
Ye Wanwan was puzzled, “Thought what through?”
Si Yehan said, “Being with me.”
Ye Wanwan rolled her eyes at him, “Nonsense, of course I have. Do I need to think about it?”
Si Yehan pinched the bridge of his nose, got up looking dispirited, sat silently at the edge of the bed, his brows all clouded with unresolved gloom.
A while later, the man’s gaze focused unfocusedly on the empty space in the distance, his voice dryly spoke, “The person in your heart… is a noble gentleman who is admired by all, whereas I am nothing but a wicked dragon.”
“Nonsense!”
Hearing Si Yehan describe himself like that, Ye Wanwan’s expression immediately changed.
Through several hypnosis sessions and some fragments of memories, she had already remembered Si Yehan’s past. She was very clear that Si Yehan wasn’t the person he portrayed himself to be.
In his essence, he was kinder and more innocent than anyone else.
But…
Engage with a wicked dragon for too long, and one might become a wicked dragon themselves. Stare into the abyss for too long, and the abyss will gaze back.
In this world, besides a wicked dragon, no other creature can defeat one. Though he had overcome the wicked dragon, he had become the very thing he despised.
Si Yehan said, “Wanwan, there’s no need to deceive yourself. No one understands me better than I do.”
His greatest fear wasn’t losing her; it was that one day, she would regret being with him.
Ye Wanwan stared seriously at Si Yehan, “Ji Xiuran is indeed good. He’s respected and admired by everyone. Including the me from before…”
Every word Ye Wanwan said dimmed Si Yehan’s gaze.
Ye Wanwan continued, “But you, you’re the wicked dragon, the big bad in everyone’s eyes, feared by all. But so what? In front of me, you always retract your claws and fangs, always gentle and kind. To me, you’re the best person.”
With each word from the girl, a surge of intense emotions welled up in Si Yehan’s eyes. The world, which had been falling apart, was now reconstructed by her words.
Every time Ye Wanwan praised him as gentle and kind, he felt intense self-loathing.
However, he had never imagined that she would say something like this.
