Chapter 49: From Now On I Will Protect You

Yang Jun never expected that he would already be speaking like this, yet Yun Xiyue still had no intention of leaving.

Moreover, at this moment, stars flashed in Yun Xiyue's eyes.

She had come to care about Yang Jun; ever since she realized she could understand his thoughts, her previous bias against him had completely changed.

So, everything she does now still revolves around Yang Jun.

His behavior originally made her very dissatisfied and unhappy.

After all, his words and actions clearly meant pushing her away, as if trying to force her onto Zhou Tian.

But later, Yun Xiyue discovered that her father had sent people to watch the Prince Pingxi's mansion, and in his words he expressed great dissatisfaction, even disdain, exclusion, and surveillance toward it.

It seems that if there is the slightest movement in the Prince Pingxi's mansion, the result will be that her father will uproot it completely.

Her father is waiting for such an opportunity, and Yang Jun happens to know that her father is waiting for it.

Therefore, seeing her approach and realizing they had grown close, Yang Jun's actions have been consistently opposed to hers.

Actually, it's not that he truly dislikes her; he simply doesn't want to implicate her, wants to push her away, and above all, to protect her.

Well, this kind of behavior is what a man should do; it is a man's true responsibility.

"Yang Jun, I tell you, no matter what you do, you can't escape; you cannot possibly push me away!"

Yun Xiyue snorted coldly and spoke to Yang Jun.

Regarding this matter, Yun Xiyue believes she has already thought it through clearly enough.

Yang Jun cares about her so much and is trying every possible way to protect her.

Then, both emotionally and rationally, she should be even more devoted to him and cannot part from him.

"You're sick!"

Yang Jun rolled his eyes; coming to the Armory Sword Cottage to investigate, in his view, was certainly a matter of nine deaths and one life.

But Yun Xiyue, this woman, not only did not treat it as nothing, she actually insisted on following him.

"Older Sister Lin, do you know this will get people killed, it will cause deaths!"

"Yang Jun, the harsher you scold me, the more I know you have me in your heart, you are trying every way to protect me, I appreciate your intention, but such saying one thing and meaning another is absolutely not allowed to drive me away."

"I tell you, no matter where you go, I must follow; no matter how dangerous, I must face it together with you!"

Yun Xiyue spoke repeatedly, her eyes showing firmness.

At this moment, Yang Jun really wanted to pry open Yun Xiyue's head to see what was inside her mind.

【I'm doomed, I've fallen for a love‑brain, there's no saving me, I'll inevitably be implicated and die!】

Yang Jun thought resentfully, obviously he came to carry out a mission, obviously he encountered a major event, but how did it turn out like this?

In the original story, wasn't this Yun Xiyue supposed to like Zhou Tian intensely, loving him to the point of life and death?

Could it be that all of this is now being imposed on her?

"Yang Jun, your words are what I love to hear most, because I understand that what you say are opposites, they show how much you care about me; the more you speak like this, the more it proves you care, the more you act like this, the more excited I become!"

Just when Yang Jun felt helpless and resigned, Yun Xiyue suddenly spoke again.

As she spoke, her body leaned forward slightly.

In an instant she drew near and lightly bit his earlobe.

While she was speaking, a warm breath sprayed over, moreover it flowed into his neck, a strange sensation surged, Yang Jun instantly felt it was life‑threatening.

"How about it, you have nothing to say now?"

Yun Xiyue became even more excited, truly very satisfied.

She reached out and firmly grasped Yang Jun's hand.

"Yang Jun, rest assured, I understand; we two should advance and retreat together, face all dangers and difficulties, only thus can we prove our true love to the Father Emperor, and he will not oppose."

Yun Xiyue spoke happily, tightening her grip on Yang Jun's hand even more.

At this moment, Yang Jun rolled his eyes.

"True love my ass, nowadays true love is just dog food!"

Yang Jun said this and began to struggle.

Although Yun Xiyue isn't heavy, constantly being pressed by her on his body, what propriety is this?

Such a thing is truly inappropriate.

Yun Xiyue is completely a love‑brain; the original plot was aimed at Zhou Tian, but now it has turned toward her.

But just as Yang Jun began to struggle, Yun Xiyue moved again, her long legs tightly locking his waist, her arms raised, refusing to let go.

"Exactly, your true love is feeding my dog!"

What left Yang Jun speechless was that his own sentence was clearly an insult.

But at this moment, Yun Xiyue, with an air of self‑importance, as she spoke, suddenly lowered her head, wrapped both arms around his arm, and bit down hard.

"Ah!"

In the midst of the scream, Yang Jun felt pain throughout his body, trembling.

"Sick, really sick!"

"Surely, no one in the imperial family is normal!"

"Yang Jun, this princess has already said before, no matter what, you cannot even think of pushing me away again; it's absolutely impossible, forever!"

Yun Xiyue snorted coldly, looked arrogant, spoke again, full of pride.

"You really are something; what's so great about it? If the sky falls, we'll bear it together and face it together—why do you insist on fleeing, on avoiding me?"

Yun Xiyue spoke, but her expression changed to aggrieved, as if she were about to cry.

"I know you're doing this for my good, wanting to protect me, but I also want to share the burden with you—can't we do that?"

Yun Xiyue spoke again repeatedly; in that demeanor, there was charm mixed with grievance, pity mixed with even more tension.

"Well, alright, don't say more; if I bring you along, that should work, right? Don't make a fuss, Miss—if this draws people out, we'll have nothing good to eat."

Yang Jun compromised, spoke up; Yun Xiyue looked satisfied and became happy.

Indeed, trading sincerity for Yang Jun's genuine affection, the two will surely have a more perfect future!

【Ah, what's going on? Now I'm carrying a thermos, how to do things? Otherwise, buy her something to eat and let her go back?】

Yang Jun was thinking about these impractical things, when suddenly a wave of pain struck his ears.
