Chapter 187 The Scheming Young Man (End)
A surge of immense joy welled up within me, temporarily suppressing the fear deep inside, but unease still lingered.
"If you're happy, then don't cry, okay?" Xu Qiuqiu tried to pull him away and wipe his tears, but he held her even tighter, so she had no choice but to let him hug her.
After waiting for a long time, Shen Yuchen's emotions finally calmed down. He loosened his grip on Qiuqiu and his voice became hoarse. "Qiuqiu, I'll go make you breakfast."
After speaking, he lingered for a while before letting go of her. Xu Qiuqiu noticed that his eyes were still a little red, and his thin lips were also red. On his stunningly beautiful face, this vulnerability was the epitome of beauty.
She took his hand and tenderly kissed the corner of his eye.
Seeing tenderness in her eyes for the first time, Shen Yuchen stared blankly at her, unsure how to react.
Xu Qiuqiu especially missed his well-behaved and dazed appearance; he was more adorable like this.
She remembered seeing him as a child before, and on a whim, she said, "Achen, why don't we have a child?"
Shen Yuchen blushed at first, then quickly shook her head, "I don't want children."
"Why?"
Shen Yuchen looked at her very seriously, "Qiuqiu only needs me."
She didn't love him much to begin with, and if a child came along, her attention would definitely be diverted, which he didn't want to happen.
"Hmm, I have Ah Chen, that's enough for me." Xu Qiuqiu pinched his cheek and coaxed him softly.
She had only said it on a whim, just to put his mind at ease.
As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Yuchen couldn't help but hug and kiss her for a long time before letting go to make breakfast.
The weather was gradually getting colder. Xu Qiuqiu didn't know how long she had been here. Judging from the changing seasons, it must have been quite a while. She had been locked out at the beginning, but now she was unlocked.
However, she was still not allowed to leave the room; she could only leave when he was there.
She walked to the window and looked out at the snow falling, a vast expanse of white. The cold had frozen the water, and the cold wind was blowing in through the window, almost extinguishing the charcoal fire burning inside the house.
She felt like a bird trapped in a cage, her freedom restricted, and she couldn't help but sigh.
Fortunately, she has 003, who keeps her company and tells her stories when she's bored.
003 told her that they had been missing for so long that everyone thought they were dead.
She had only been standing by the window for a short while when a fox fur cloak was draped over her back, and a melodious voice rang out from above her head, "Qiuqiu, be careful not to catch a cold. Don't wear such thin clothes and stand outside in the cold wind."
She turned to look at him. He was dressed in a dark robe, his dark hair was loose, and he had a jade-like face and red lips. He was incredibly beautiful, and his eyes were full of concern and heartache when he looked at her.
While she was still in a daze, her icy hands were enveloped by his warm palms. He held them for a while, his voice carrying a hint of reproach, "Why are your hands so cold? Qiuqiu, next time you're in the cold wind, you should hold a hand warmer."
"Okay, I'll do whatever Ah Chen says." Xu Qiuqiu smiled sweetly and obediently agreed.
Looking at her charming appearance, Shen Yuchen paused in his movements. She had been with him for several months. She always liked to look at the scenery outside the window and longed for the outside world. But when facing him, she was still as gentle and tolerant as she had promised.
He felt a pang of heartache. "Qiuqiu, was I too selfish, forcibly locking you up here and making you lose everything..."
Xu Qiuqiu shook her head and said softly, "Achen, my heart is with you. It's not that you locked me up, it's that I stayed here willingly. Although I really want to see the scenery outside, in my eyes you are the most beautiful scenery. So, Achen, when will you finally believe that I love you?"
Shen Yuchen's eyes filled with pain. "Qiuqiu, I want to believe you too... but I don't know why, I just feel uneasy..."
Xu Qiuqiu gently coaxed, "Then how about I tell you I love you every day? I'll love you a little more each day than yesterday."
“Qiuqiu…” Shen Yuchen stared at her blankly.
"Achen, I love you, I love you more today than yesterday."
Shen Yuchen's eyes reddened as he listened. He should believe her. She had kept all her promises. During this time, she had never mentioned missing home or wanting to go out. The emptiness in his heart was filled, and he thought he would stop overthinking things.
