Chapter 149: Giving Him a Sense of Security 2

Until he kissed me until I was dazed and my face flushed red, he reluctantly let go of me; we lay on the white big bed, he gently pulled me into his embrace, I leaned against his chest, listening to his strong, steady heartbeat, my heart was very calm, very calm……

"I believe you, but don't let me down, okay?" Shangguan Yun kissed my neck, rubbing and whispering softly in my ear.

Those four words "I believe you" felt incredibly heavy, heavily pressing on my heart.

I nodded at him and said, "Thank you for your trust; I won't let you down. After I talk things over with him tonight, can we go home tomorrow?"

After hearing my words, Shangguan Yun sat up excitedly and said, "Really? We're going home tomorrow?"

I don't know why he got so excited about going home; maybe it's because once we're home he won't have to see Haohua anymore. After all, the mountains are high and the emperor far away—perhaps he thinks Haohua will no longer threaten him.

"When it comes to going home, you're this happy—could it be that there's a girl waiting for you at home?" I deliberately acted all sour, turning away to ignore him, pretending to be offended.

He hurriedly turned my body over and pulled me up, then leaned against the headboard, pressing me into his embrace as he said: "What girl? I was having a good time here; I don't even want to go home. I could hold you while we sleep every day, be with you all the time—I wouldn't want to leave. But you should know, since his appearance, he's made me feel very uneasy, don't you see? You once loved him so deeply, you once had such a beautiful, unforgettable romance with him—I envy you, I'm jealous, but that's all in the past. Although I would feel jealous, I don't mind it; everyone has a past. I can only hate that I didn't meet you sooner, so that in your heart there would be only me, no trace of him. Although I say I don't mind you and his past, I do mind his presence in your heart. His appearance has already become a serious threat to me; I feel I can no longer control this situation. Before, whatever I did, I felt confident, able to keep things under my control—but with you, I've lost my confidence. So I'd rather choose to leave quickly." After saying that, Shangguan Yun lit a cigarette and smoked it sadly.
