Chapter 281
But Bo Xudu, a perceptive man, immediately sensed that his beloved wife's mood was off; her silver-gray eyes rippled, and it was clear that she was about to cause trouble again.
Alarm bells rang in Wen Xin's mind.
Oh no! Oh no!
Her suspicious, sensitive, and easily hurt mermaid husband is definitely imagining her abandoning him and their children again.
Is he going to harm himself again?
I'm going bald!
With her hands behind her back, Wen Xin pinched the culprit, the stupid butterfly, into a specimen.
Before Xiao Jin breathed his last, tears streamed down his face: "Holy crap, Master, you dare to send a 4? Do you really have no thoughts at all?"
Otherwise, why would you feel guilty?
Wen Xin: Shut up and get out of here smoothly!
Fortunately, there were other people around, so Bo Xu didn't start a fight with his beloved wife.
He came over and suggestively put his arm around Wen Xin's waist, speaking in a cool and polite tone: "Mr. Bai, please rest. Ah Xin and I will head back now."
Bai Ruiwen withdrew his gaze from Wen Xin and nodded: "I will remember Your Majesty the Mermaid King's kindness. If you need anything from me in the future, please don't hesitate to ask."
Bo Xu said, "You're too kind."
Wen Xin nodded to Bai Ruiwen and then left with Bo Xu.
Watching the two walk away hand in hand, Bai Ruiwen's eyes dimmed.
From then on, he could only stand there, watching her leave with other men, silently wishing her happiness.
Bai Ruiwen looked up at the azure sky, his eyes red.
He has lost that shy, gentle girl who only had eyes for him!
...
"Um... don't look at me like that. I've already told you about what happened between me and Bai Ruiwen."
Back in the bedroom, a certain merman stared intently at her with his silver-gray eyes, exuding a strong aura of resentment.
Wen Xin's red lips twitched slightly as she spoke up to defend herself.
Bo Xu said quietly, "Then why are you feeling guilty?"
Wen Xin: "..." Do you have mind-reading abilities or an emotion detector?
He could always pinpoint her slightest emotional fluctuations?
Even a timid girl would be terrified by him!
Seeing that the mermaid's silver fishtail was about to dim, Wen Xin quickly suppressed her speechlessness and complaints, and said in a serious and firm tone, almost as if she were swearing, "I absolutely do not have any lingering feelings for him!"
Bo Xu gazed at her, his silver-gray eyes seemingly filled with the bright moonlight, gentle yet humble.
“I know he helped you during the darkest time of your life, and it’s understandable that you like him. Who told me not to meet you sooner? I’m also very glad that he was there for you back then, otherwise your life would have been even more difficult. I’m actually very grateful to him.”
"But, baby, I'm afraid I'm too late, so I'll never be as good as him in this lifetime. You being with me was something I forced; your heart still only belongs to him..."
"No!"
Her heart clenched painfully; she couldn't bear to see him so humble. Wen Xin reached out and hugged him, leaning softly against his chest.
“You are you, and he is him. I have never treated you as a substitute for him or as a transfer of my feelings.”
She looked up at him, her clear, almond-shaped eyes seeing only his figure, her tender affection stirring his heartstrings.
“I didn’t feel any reluctance when I married you. I was just very happy and blessed. Bo Xu, you don’t know, these three months we’ve been together have been the happiest and most joyful time of my life.”
A ripple appeared in Bo Xu's eyes. He lowered his head and affectionately nuzzled her cheek, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly. "Actually, it's okay to be a substitute. As long as you don't leave me, I can accept anything else."
Wen Xin felt a pang of sadness. "Fool."
She reached out and cupped his face, kissing the corner of his lips. "He's not a substitute. My Bo Xu, my mermaid husband, is so noble and handsome, as powerful as a god, and so gentle and devoted to me. How could I bear to let him be a substitute?"
Bo Xu's eyes suddenly brightened, and his voice became hoarse: "Baby..."
Wen Xin smiled and said, "You're not too late. Now and in the future, in my heart, there is only Bo Xu, that slightly silly mermaid husband."
Bo Xu held her tightly, his heart brimming with a warm current, lost in her tenderness. Even if he were to suffer eternal damnation, he would be willing and have no regrets.
Those self-righteous mermaid fools don't understand why he's infatuated with her.
But they forgot that since his birth, everyone around him has either regarded him as a perfect work of art or as a terrifying monster.
Bloodshed, scheming, exploitation, greed, and fear filled his life for the first 180 years.
How could Bo Xu, surrounded by such cold and disgusting gazes, not become ferocious, irritable, bloodthirsty, and murderous?
If he doesn't kill, he'll be the one killed, or become a pet in a cage, arbitrarily controlled!
Only she, only the girl in his arms, looked at him with pure and innocent eyes, carrying a hint of warmth.
In her eyes, he was always just a living, breathing human being.
She said she felt safe and happy by his side, but didn't he feel the same way?
She made him realize that his heart could beat, his blood could be warm, and that he could live like an ordinary person, with a beloved partner and a warm home...
Therefore, he was too afraid of losing it, and was also the one who could least bear the loss.
Bo Xu gently stroked her face with his large hand and said affectionately, "Baby, I want to kiss you."
Wen Xin blushed slightly, but took the initiative to offer her red lips.
Bo Xu gripped her waist tightly, taking the initiative and gently yet possessively stealing her breath, the darkness in his eyes growing ever deeper.
Wen Xin clutched her skirt, her eyes sparkling with captivating charm.
Her lips were bright red, and her breath was unsteady. "No, it's still daytime."
Bo Xu's Adam's apple bobbed, his voice was hoarse and soothing, yet it also carried a pitiful, coquettish tone, "Baby, I feel unwell, I really need you."
Wen Xin: "..." Isn't this just too unfair?
But amidst his alluring and pitiful beauty, Wen Xin shamefully softened her heart, constantly lowering her standards for his sake.
She silently buried her face in his chest; a gentle embrace, a hero's grave!
