Chapter 1405: I Was Too Impulsive

She was afraid of being recognized, so she quickly tied a silk scarf around her beautiful neck to cover half of her delicate face.

Wei Lingnan noticed her small movements and pulled her closer in his arms. They really looked like an intimate couple. She buried most of her face in his chest. Listening to his strong and steady heartbeat, she moved a little uneasily.

Wei Lingnan said, “Don’t move so much or else someone may discover you.” Now, she was a celebrity, how much could a silk scarf cover? They were lucky to not be discovered on the rooftop, but they might not have the same luck downstairs.

Xia Yingluo also understood her situation. She did not argue and obediently lay in his arms.

People hurried to and fro in the mall. The lights of every store were blurry and the sweet smell of cream cake lingered in the air. She felt like she was on a small boat in an ocean of light and shadow. She floated up and down as he squeezed through the crowd easily while protecting her. She did not need to worry or care about anything. She only needed to follow his lead.

Unknowingly, she raised her head to look at his face. He was as handsome and impressionable as an ice sculpture.

Sensing her gaze, he lowered his head and smiled. He gently asked, “Do you still remember the time when I protected you when we surrounded by Thorny Star aliens? That time, we were ambushed by them. We had an army of thirty thousand, but only you and I survived. At that time, you looked at me this way… and I thought, you’re such a beautiful princess. I must not let you die there.”

She remembered.

No matter how many bloody battles they experienced, that one still made them tremble with fear.

She still remembered that another princess colluded with the Thorny Star aliens to assassinate her. Her army of thirty thousand perished and she was about to give up in despair. However, he risked his life to save her. When she was exhausted, he used his body to shield her like what he was doing right now by forcing his way through a crowd for her.

At that time, her heart was palpitating and her breathing was heavy. Fresh blood kept flowing, but his hand kept supporting her. He did not even collapse until they escaped from the aliens. Only then did she realize that his entire back was completely torn and broken. His flesh was missing and she could see his bones and muscles. However, on the way, he did not even complain and ensured that she did not have a scratch on her body.

Recalling the past, she said, “Thank you for saving me.”

Besides thanking her, she did not know what else to say. Should she cry? No, even tears were not enough to show how grateful she was for everything he did that year.

He was a little dejected. “I really miss those times.”

She was quiet and followed as he swerved past the crowd in the mall which smelled like cream.

She knew why he missed that period of time. She missed it too. At that time, even though things were difficult and they did not know if they would be alive the next day, they were together. They lived and died together. Everything that was dangerous and dirty had not happened yet. It was the most beautiful time of their lives.

“Ah Luo…”

“We can’t go back anymore.” She cut him off. Resentment from genocide, betrayal and everything in between… She was no longer the carefree little princess and he was no longer the loyal man he was.

What else more was there to say?

Wei Lingnan lowered his head to look at her tense face. His eyes were dark, but in the end, he did not say anything.

He protected her as they escaped the crowd and soon, they reached the main entrance of the mall. Outside, there was a small carpark. Due to the high parking fees, only a few luxury cars were lined up side by side and glistened in the lights.

He left her to stand by herself for some time while he drove his car out. Unexpectedly, just as he was about to stop his car in front of her, he bumped into another car. Luckily, they were in a parking lot, so the cars were moving slowly and the damage was not serious.

A person came out of the car. It was Jiang Yu.

“Yingluo!” Jiang Yu shifted his attention away from his damaged car and hurriedly ran towards Xia Yingluo. “Why are you here? Come, get in my car. I will send you home.”

Xia Yingluo instinctively took a step back and avoided his grasp. “Why are you here?”

Suddenly, Wei Lingnan emerged from the other car and walked towards them. He only had to extend his hand to pull Xia Yingluo towards him. He looked at Jiang Yu coldly. “What an eyesore. I can’t believe that I could get into a car accident on this wide road. So it is you. Trying to take Ah Luo away from me? Not a chance.”

Jiang Yu was very upset. “I knew it was you.”

“You knew?” Xia Yingluo sharply captured this keyword.

Jiang Yu was in a bad mood. “My assistant was shopping in this area and just told me that there was a person who looked like you Yingluo and that you were with Wei Lingnan. I did not believe her, so I came over to take a look. I can’t believe that you are really with him! You know that he’s not a good person.” He extended his hand towards Xia Yingluo again. “Come with me.”

Xia Yingluo was a little unhappy. Jiang Yu was really interfering too much.

Wei Lingnan also sneered. “Who are you to her? Stop thinking too highly of yourself.”

“Yingluo personally accepted my proposal. Who do you think I am to her?” Jiang Yu unknowingly raised his eyes. Wei Lingnan’s taunting expression made him unable to control himself. “Wei Lingnan, stop pestering Yingluo. Please stay far away from her!”

Nearby, a few people noticed this conflict and looked over.

“Hey, aren’t those people celebrities? There seems to be some sort of commotion.”

“Oh my god… it’s Jiang Yu! Man-God Jiang Yu!”

Immediately, fans screamed and surrounded the carpark.

Wei Lingnan frowned. He pulled Xia Yingluo and was about to walk towards the darkness. “Come with me and don’t be surrounded by them.” The two cars were blocking the road and, with some cars trying to enter, there was an impasse. He immediately pulled Xia Yingluo to safety without giving her time to think.

Jiang Yu also saw the fans crowding around them and followed after.

After the few people shook off their fans, they stopped at a secluded green patch. Wei Lingnan coldly looked at Jiang Yu. “When are you going to stop following us? We don’t welcome you here, so get lost!”

Jiang Yu stubbornly looked at Xia Yingluo. “Yingluo, leave with me. I don’t feel safe leaving you with this person.”

However, Xia Yingluo shook her head. “Jiang Yu, don’t interference in my affairs with him. Also… regarding the proposal, I’m very sorry. I have to take back my words. I was just too impulsive in the heat of the moment and because of that, I’ve troubled you.”
