1898. Chapter 1898: Heartache, I Love You 14

If it were the past, Shangguan Yun would surely have helped me into the bathroom and then thoughtfully washed my face.

He really has changed, it seems he truly has changed...

After washing my face and coming over, Shangguan Yun took my hand, gazed at me lovingly, and said, "Wife, sleep with me tonight."

"Huh?" Upon hearing Shangguan Yun's words, I felt somewhat incredulous.

"It seems it's been a long, long time since I last held you and slept peacefully; will you sleep with me tonight?" Shangguan Yun also seemed to realize I didn't understand, so he repeated it.

In the past, you always curled up in my arms, sleeping greedily; seeing your peaceful, asleep face, my heart felt sweet and warm. When you slept, you would always press your whole body against mine, clinging to my waist like an octopus. Do you know? That feeling is truly wonderful, although sleeping like that makes me a bit tired and I can't move, because I'm afraid that if I move, you'll wake up, you'll be disturbed, and you won't sleep well. Yet I feel waves of happiness in my heart, because I can sense how much you rely on me, placing your whole heart in me, relying on me. Shangguan Yun said this with the corners of his mouth slightly turned up, a look of happiness on his face.

Even his deep, affectionate gaze was filled with a rich smile and happiness.

"Shangguan Yun, how do you even know this? From my sleeping posture you can sense how much I rely on you—yes, I truly do rely on you; you are everything in my life, you are my entire reliance. So no matter what, you must be all right, you must not come to harm, and you must never leave me—promise me, promise me, okay?" As I spoke those last words, my voice grew a little hurried.

If it were the past, Shangguan Yun would surely have gently kissed my lips, then looked at me with a happy, smiling face, nodded, and said he would protect me for a lifetime, care for me for a lifetime, and let me rely on him for a lifetime.
