Chapter 256 - 256 I Owe Her
256 I Owe Her
Mo Beiyuan’s cold eyes contained a warmth that had never been there before, and his eyes were no longer calm.
“It’s not a ruse. I owe her.”
Xuanyuan Yu’s sword seemed to have stabbed him awake. Between him and Yun Ran, he had indeed pulled her into the abyss and destroyed her supposedly beautiful life.
If it weren’t for him, she wouldn’t have been bullied by others.
If not for him, she would have found her biological parents and restored her status as the little princess of Wu’an. She would have met a good man and had children with him.
But now, her life was forcefully linked to him, the Ghost King. It was because of the two children, and the parasitic poison, but from the beginning to the end, she was the most innocent one.
Previously, he felt that the only difference between her and his dead fiancées was that they were bound by the parasitic poison. Therefore, he had to protect her and not let anything happen to her.
Perhaps it was because he was born cold, or perhaps it was because he had not had any true feelings for her all these years, but he did not feel like he owed her anything.
But now, he knew that she was different from those women in his heart!
It was not because they had a child and were bound by the parasitic poison, but because she was Yun Ran!
He wanted to protect her out of instinct, not because of the parasitic poison.
It was not because she was the mother of the two children.
He wanted to protect her!
He wanted her to live!
He wanted to see her smile!
He even felt possessive.
Mo Beiyuan knew that his possessiveness towards her was a man’s possessiveness towards a woman, not the Gu poison.
Even if he did not get close to her now, he still wanted to hug her fiercely, kiss her lips, and make her belong to him alone!
Therefore, it was not a ruse to gain sympathy!
He just felt that those who hurt her should be punished, and even he was no exception.
Mo Beiyuan knew that his thoughts were a little abnormal. He was afraid that he would scare her if he said it, so he might as well let her think that it was a Gu poison!
Everything he did was caused by the parasitic poison!
Yun Ran knew that her footsteps could not escape Mo Beiyuan’s ears, and she had no intention of eavesdropping on their conversation. She pushed the door open and entered.
Unexpectedly, because Mo Beiyuan had simply treated his wound to stop the bleeding, the clothes on his upper body had been removed, revealing his tight muscles and strong arms.
Yun Ran was fine. She had seen many such topless situations in the apocalypse and walked forward with her usual expression.
“How’s your injury? If it’s serious, ask Huo Chanyi to come and take a look. Don’t hang on.”
Yun Ran felt that his injury was more or less related to her. Xuanyuan Yu had stabbed him to avenge her.
If treatment was delayed and caused any sequelae, she would feel bad.
“You don’t have to.”
Mo Beiyuan did not expect her to appear here. The pair of eyes in heterochromia clearly gazed at her with some emotions.
He wanted to ask her if she was worried about him, but he did not ask.
Instead, he laughed at himself in his heart.
Xuanyuan Yu’s last sentence seemed to be deeply engraved in his mind and kept echoing. The person who had hurt her was not worthy of loving her!
Therefore, it was very likely that Yun Ran had already classified him as someone who had hurt her from the beginning.
That was why when he said that he wanted to give her the position of Princess Consort Yuan, she sneered and told him that not everyone would like that position. If she wanted to marry someone, she would only marry the person she really liked.
And this person could not be him.
In the past, Mo Beiyuan did not care about her thoughts at all. It did not matter to him if she was unwilling to take the position of Princess Consort Yuan.
But now, he felt that her every word seemed to be telling him that it was impossible between them!
