Chapter 29
He had been longing for this girl for many years, and after more than two years of heartbreaking unrequited love, how could Qin Zhan resist even the slightest teasing from her?
It's his! It's his!
She can only ever belong to him!
"Ah Xin, why don't you fight back?"
Qin Zhan suddenly asked her.
Wen Xin looked at him on top of her with hazy eyes and mumbled, "What?"
Qin Zhan tightened his arms around her waist, his voice growing increasingly hoarse, "Are you just pitying me?"
So, before they've even established a relationship, would she be so pathetic as to give herself to him?
Wen Xin: "..."
She wanted to know exactly where she had given him the wrong signal of "sympathy".
He became suspicious when she didn't respond to him.
She responded to him, and he started overthinking again!
Why are you so difficult to please?
Enraged, Wen Xin kicked him off the sofa.
Qin Zhan: "!!!"
He looked at the girl on the sofa with a sense of helplessness and unease.
Seeing his pitiful look, Wen Xin became even angrier and, disregarding her image, picked up a cushion and started hitting him.
"Qin Zhan, you stinking, stupid, big-headed bastard!"
Qin Zhan dared not fight back or dodge, letting her hit him, and he felt even more uneasy because he saw tears welling up in her eyes.
He let her beat and scold him, but Wen Xin felt as if her heart was stuffed with cotton, making her even more upset, and tears kept falling.
"Ah Xin, Ah Xin," Qin Zhan hurriedly knelt up, wanting to comfort her but suddenly becoming tongue-tied. He wanted to wipe her tears but was afraid of making her hate him even more. He felt pained and helpless.
"I'm sorry, you don't like it, I'll never touch you again, please don't cry, please don't cry..."
Looking at this arrogant, powerful, and proud man who was so humble in front of her, Wen Xin felt a surge of guilt and pain from her past life, and tears streamed down her face.
She bit her hand, unwilling to cry out loud.
"Ah Xin!"
Qin Zhan's heart was breaking.
In despair, he compromised, "I won't fight anymore, I really won't fight anymore. If you like him, I'll help you get back to him. Don't be sad, Ah Xin, I'm begging you."
In her presence, he could abandon all his principles.
Wen Xin grew angrier as she listened, and pounced on him, biting his face.
Qin Zhan carefully stroked her back, letting her bite.
"Qin Zhan, I hate you!"
Wen Xin sobbed and cursed him.
"I know."
Qin Zhan said bitterly.
Wen Xin continued to curse: "You bastard, you scoundrel, you idiot, you stinky egg! You know he's scum, yet you still want me to go back and suffer. All that talk about you always taking care of me is a lie. You just think I'm a burden to you and can't wait to get rid of me."
Her words pierced his heart. Qin Zhan murmured hoarsely in anguish, "How could I want you to leave? You are my life!"
Wen Xin sneered, "Ha, a man's words are nothing but lies!"
"I don't!"
Qin Zhan wished he could give her his whole heart.
He held her face in his hands with utmost tenderness, his eyes filled with deep and burning love. "From childhood to adulthood, you have been the meaning of my life, Ah Xin. You have no idea how much I love you."
Wen Xin's eyes trembled slightly, and she pursed her lips, looking away. "I won't listen."
Qin Zhan smiled bitterly: "I wish Li Qingchen would die, I wish I could imprison you and leave you with only me in your world, but I dare not, and I can't bear to."
He was heartbroken even by her shedding a single tear, let alone the thought of her withering away in agony.
Wen Xin's nose stung with tears. She lowered her eyes and said, "You're just treating me like a fool. You know how much I suffered with him. I finally came to my senses, but you always think I should go back and suffer again, pushing myself to the brink. You have no heart."
"And another thing," Wen Xin accused him, "Do you think I'm that easy? That I'd be with you just out of pity?"
So, did she really never think she would turn back, and was she really willing to be with him?
Qin Zhan's pupils contracted, his heart felt as if it had been pulled from the ice cave and soaked in a hot spring. Joy and excitement made his blood boil.
"I'm sorry, Ah Xin, I was a jerk, I was crazy. Don't be angry, you can hit me however you want, just don't be sad, okay?"
Qin Zhan carefully coaxed her.
"not good!"
Wen Xin pursed her lips. How could she be so easily coaxed?
"Then... how about I be your horse to ride?"
When Wen Xin was two or three years old, she loved riding horses. Qin Zhan, who was only five or six years old at the time, was much taller than the other boys, and he always let her ride on his back, though reluctantly and willingly.
Before she turned ten, she would throw a tantrum and refuse to walk, so Qin Zhan would carry her around everywhere, and Wen Xin would always be very happy during those times.
Looking at the man who had pampered her since childhood, Wen Xin's heart softened again and again.
But today she's determined to make him stop being suspicious and insecure.
She didn't like his sorrowful and desperate appearance.
Wen Xin turned her head and said sullenly, "I'm not a child anymore, and when I was little, my brother Qin Zhan would never have thought of me as an idiot or a masochist."
Qin Zhan coaxed her gently, "Ah Xin, I really know I was wrong."
"Please give me another chance."
Wen Xin: "Tell me, how many chances have I given you already?"
Qin Zhan gazed at her with deep eyes, pleading earnestly, "Just this once, please?"
Wen Xin bit her red lips lightly and warned him, "If you do it again, I really will never talk to you again."
Qin Zhan quickly replied, "I swear!"
Wen Xin couldn't hold back her anger any longer; she raised her eyebrows and stretched out her arms to him.
Qin Zhan lovingly embraced his precious darling, sighing contentedly.
"Ah Xin, will you be my girlfriend?"
Wen Xin deliberately teased him, saying coquettishly, "What if I say no?"
