Chapter 444: It Might Escalate
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
Huo Yunshen finally learned the meaning of the words “kissing your loved one is like drinking alcohol.”
Xu Xiyan finally loosened up and followed his rhythm. She finally gave in and started to enjoy the kiss.
Xu Xiyan had also yearned for the same thing.
In the quiet room, the temperature began to rise.
The kiss was long that they sometimes found it hard to breathe.
Xu Xiyan could feel her body heating up as her strength left her.
Huo Yunshen could also feel the thing between his legs tighten and begin to react. He wanted her so much, but he stopped kissing her just before things escalated.
He withdrew his lips from hers, and the girl gasped for air while resting her head on his chest.
Lights reflected off her lips, and it was sexy as hell.
Huo Yunshen took the chance while Xu Xiyan was breathing hard, he lowered his head and bit her red lips lightly.
“You stupid girl, why did you hide it from me?” Huo Yunshen asked as he lifted her head up by her chin and stared at her lips.
“I’m so sorry…” Xu Xiyan apologized, her face turning red as she rubbed her head against his chest. “I didn’t know what kind of person you were at first. I was afraid that you might take her away from me.”
“No, I’m the one who should be apologizing,” Huo Yunshen said as he hugged her tight and rested his chin on her head. “If I found you sooner, you would never have had to live such a cruel life. I’m sorry.”
That was why he’d vowed to give both of the girls all of the best in the world.
“Mr. Huo, let’s not apologize anymore, all right? The most important thing right now is that we treasure what we have. As long as both of us still live, we still have the time to watch the kid grow and make amends for the time we’ve lost.”
Xu Xiyan really wanted to stay with him forever. She did not want the things that happened in Estan the last time they were there to repeat.
She’d already felt what it was like to lose Huo Yunshen. The pain was unbearable; all she wanted was for him to lead a healthy and safe life.
“That’s right, the three of us, together.”
They talked about many things after that. Huo Yunshen even asked her what had really happened five years ago.
He had been waiting for her to tell him the whole story, and it was the right time to ask her.
Xu Xiyan told him everything, even the reason she chose to leave Zstan.
Huo Yunshen finally heard the whole story, how Xu Xiyan was sold out by her family and how she chose to cut her relationship with them.
Huo Yunshen hated himself for not being able to do anything when she was treated unjustly.
He didn’t even try to investigate the situation and even helped Xu Jinshan and Chu Yuhe with their jobs.
“What have I done? I’m really sorry… I really am… I didn’t even know that they were that kind of people. If I’d known, I would never have helped them… I’m such an idiot.”
Huo Yunshen kept apologizing to Xu Xiyan. Even a thousand sorries could never express how bad he felt about himself.
“It’s not your fault, you have no idea about it. What’s more, you’re a victim too.”
Xu Xiyan never blamed Huo Yunshen for anything that had happened. She chose to tell him the full story to make sure he learned about their true colors,
“Don’t worry, it will never happen again! Your enemies are my enemies, and they won’t get off the hook so easily!”
“Thank you. Knowing that you’re with me is more than enough.
She really was thankful. Being protected by him made her feel that all the pain she’d been through was worth it.
“Then what did you do after you left the country? Where did you go?” Huo Yunshen asked.
“I went to Estan to find my mother’s brother. He got me a new identity, and I led quite a peaceful five years…”
Xu Xiyan told him almost all the stories about the things that had happened after she’d left the country, but kept the life she had with JS First Squadron a secret.
“Wait, isn’t your uncle Jing Zhannan?”
“Yup, that’s him.”
“…”
It was then that Huo Yunshen finally realized something. He vaguely remembered that the leader of JS First Squadron, Qin Ye’s, real name was Jing Zhannan, which made him Xu Xiyan’s uncle.
Back when Xu Xiyan and Huo Yunshen were attacked in Estan, Huo Yunshen had issued the highest priority order for Qin Ye to send someone to protect Xu Xiyan. Qin Ye had sent Dark Dragon to protect her, which meant that Dark Dragon could be Ye Xun.
Everything became clear to Huo Yunshen.
He’d ordered the whole JS Mercenary Group to look for Xu Xiyan but never found her, because Qin Ye had purposefully hid her from him.
Even when Huo Yunshen mentioned Xu Xiyan’s name when he met with Qin Ye, Qin Ye never told him that they were related.
Could it be that Qin Ye doesn’t want us to happen? Huo Yunshen thought.
Huo Yunshen sighed as he finally understood the whole story.
Qin Ye knew who Huo Yunshen was, a cripple and his leader, Zeus. Qin Ye also knew that Zeus had many enemies out in the world, and there was no way that he would let his niece date someone like that.
Even though Qin Ye had betrayed an order, he was still a good uncle to Xu Xiyan.
Xu Xiyan did not notice the changes in Huo Yunshen’s emotion and continued. “I was pregnant at that time. If not for Ye Xun, I would’ve given birth to Ying Bao in the middle of the road. That’s why I’ve been in debt to him this whole time. If not for him, I don’t even want to think of what could have happened.”
“I’m grateful to him too,” Huo Yunshen said. He thanked Ye Xun from the bottom of his heart for saving both of them and loving Ying Bao unconditionally.
“I have a small request,” Xu Xiyan said. “Can we not tell the world about Ying Bao? I want her to lead a normal and healthy life.”
The person she was worried about the most was Huo Yunshen’s mother, as she despised Xu Xiyan. She was worried that it might harm Ying Bao.
“Okay, I get it. Only our friends and families are to know about this, no one else,” Huo Yunshen agreed.
The room returned to silence as Huo Yunshen and Xu Xiyan looked into each other’s eyes.
His arm stretched to her back and grabbed her waist. He pulled her closer to him and kissed her wildly again.
The only thing Huo Yunshen could think of at that moment was being closer with her all night.
Hours passed before Huo Yunshen went back to Room 101 unwillingly.
Yet even when they went to bed, they couldn’t sleep. They were both still thinking of each other.
Xu Xiyan turned around and noticed the screen of her phone lit up. It was a message from Huo Yunshen.
[Still awake?]
[Yeah.]
[Meet me in The Royal Alliance.]
Xu Xiyan looked at the screen, puzzled. Could it be that he wants to play a few rounds before sleep?
