A few minutes later, a series of hurried footsteps approached.
Wu Zhong arrived quickly with a group of men.
He was slightly startled when he saw the scene, but quickly regained his composure.
"Mr. Qin, leave this to me."
Wu Zhong said respectfully.
Qin Yang nodded without saying anything more.
He took Shangguan Wan's hand and turned to leave this bloody place.
The two got into the car and remained silent the whole way.
The car drove into the city and eventually stopped in front of a villa.
This is Qin Yang and Shangguan Wan's home.
Back home, the two had a simple dinner.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was somewhat somber.
Shangguan Wan kept her head down, eating her meal silently, her mind elsewhere.
Qin Yang knew that today's events had a huge impact on her.
He didn't say much, just silently stayed by her side.
After dinner, the two returned to their bedroom.
The spacious room was covered with a thick cashmere carpet.
Qin Yang skillfully laid out the bedding on the carpet; this was his "bed."
Shangguan Wan sat on the bed, her eyes somewhat vacant.
She looked at Qin Yang, hesitant to speak.
Can't sleep?
Qin Yang lay on the carpet and asked softly.
Shangguan Wan didn't speak, but simply nodded slightly.
Are you still thinking about what happened today?
Qin Yang asked again.
Shangguan Wan remained silent.
"Qin Yang..."
After a long silence, Shangguan Wan finally spoke, her voice somewhat hoarse.
"Um?"
Are you...asleep?
She asked cautiously.
"No."
Qin Yang replied in a very soft and gentle voice.
In the darkness, Shangguan Wan's eyes were a little moist.
"I...I'm a little scared..."
Her voice trembled slightly.
Qin Yang felt a slight pang in his heart.
He knew that Shangguan Wan was truly frightened.
How could a woman not be afraid after experiencing such a life-or-death situation?
He remained silent for a few seconds.
"How about... I come up and keep you company?"
Qin Yang asked tentatively.
Shangguan Wan didn't speak, but simply lifted a corner of the blanket.
Qin Yang understood what she meant.
He got up, took off his shoes, and quietly got into bed.
The bed is big and soft.
Shangguan Wan lay on the inside of the bed, her body curled up like an injured kitten.
Qin Yang lay down beside her, with a distance between them.
He could feel that Shangguan Wan's body was still trembling slightly.
A strong urge to protect him welled up in Qin Yang's heart.
He thought about his previous failed relationship.
That woman betrayed him, leaving him scarred and broken.
He once lost faith in love and developed a rejection of marriage.
But now, looking at Shangguan Wan beside him, his heart began to melt again.
During this time, his interactions with Shangguan Wan, though uneventful, were filled with warmth.
A genuine affection has developed between them.
He knew that he had fallen in love with this woman.
Shangguan Wan also liked him.
Qin Yang sighed softly.
He slowly reached out and pulled Shangguan Wan into his arms.
Shangguan Wan's body stiffened slightly.
But she did not resist; instead, she obediently leaned into Qin Yang's arms.
Her head rested gently against Qin Yang's chest, listening to his strong heartbeat.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Qin Yang said softly, his tone gentle yet firm.
Shangguan Wan's body gradually relaxed.
She closed her eyes, feeling the warmth of Qin Yang's embrace.
This warmth dispelled her fear and made her feel incredibly safe.
Her cheeks were slightly flushed.
This was the first time she had ever been so intimate with a man.
Her heart started racing.
But she didn't dislike this feeling; on the contrary, she felt very at ease and secure.
Qin Yang could feel Shangguan Wan's soft, delicate body pressed tightly against him.
A faint, pleasant fragrance wafted into his nostrils, stirring his heart and soul.
His body also began to feel hot.
A beautiful thought flashed through his mind.
But he forcefully suppressed the impulse.
He knew that Shangguan Wan's mood was still unstable.
He didn't want to take advantage of their vulnerability, and he didn't want to complicate their relationship.
He just wanted to protect her and give her a sense of security.
That's all.
Qin Yang gently patted Shangguan Wan's back, just like he was coaxing a child.
"Sleep well, I'll stay with you."
His voice was deep and gentle.
Shangguan Wan found a comfortable position in his arms and slowly closed her eyes.
Soon after, she fell into a deep sleep.
Qin Yang held her close, feeling her even breathing, and a sense of peace settled in his heart.
He knew that from this moment on, their relationship had taken another step forward.
Their future will be even brighter.
The next morning, sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains and fell onto the soft bed.
Qin Yang slowly opened his eyes; the person in his arms was still fast asleep.
Shangguan Wan's eyelashes trembled slightly, like two small fans, serene and beautiful.
Qin Yang gazed at her delicate face, a gentle smile unconsciously curving his lips.
After last night's intimacy, the barrier between the two seemed to have completely disappeared, and a sweet scent filled the air.
Qin Yang gently withdrew his arm, not wanting to wake her.
But Shangguan Wan still woke up.
