He never dared to think about it, and was afraid to think about it.
He couldn't imagine what would happen to Xue'er if one day she was the only one left.
He knew very well that those who remained were the ones who suffered the most.
At the same time, he was also conflicted. If that day really came and he was gone, he didn't know whether he should hope that Xue'er would find happiness elsewhere or remain chaste for him.
In the end, he still hoped that he could live a long and healthy life, and grow old with Jian Yixue, spending the rest of his life together.
Through the conversation between Jian Yixue and the village chief, Ye Mohan also realized the significance of the village chief to Jian Yixue, which is why he gave such a serious answer to his question.
She wanted the village chief to feel at ease entrusting Jian Yixue's future to her, and at the same time, she wanted to remind herself to treat Jian Yixue well in the future.
After hearing Ye Mohan's assurance, the village chief nodded in satisfaction.
He was very pleased. The village chief knew that Ye Mohan was of noble status, and it was indeed a bit beyond his expectations that he could get such a guarantee from Ye Mohan.
Although he was not a wealthy or noble person, he knew that sincerity was especially precious in someone like Ye Mohan.
He began to somewhat agree with Ye Mohan's decision to entrust Xue Yatou's life to him.
Hearing their conversation, Jian Yixue was deeply moved.
Although it wasn't the first time she had heard Ye Mohan make such a heartfelt confession, it was the first time she had heard him say it to the elder who had raised her.
Such a heartfelt confession seems especially solemn at this moment.
When Jian Yixue heard Ye Mohan say "when will I be gone," her expression changed instantly. She frowned, turned around to look at Ye Mohan, her eyes filled with dissatisfaction and disapproval of his words, and even a slightly angry look.
Jian Yixue tugged at Ye Mohan's hand, her beautiful peach blossom eyes flashing with an unprecedented seriousness, and said angrily.
"Don't say such things, I won't allow it! If one day you really leave me, I will go with you."
Since we are unable to grow old together, then I will accompany you to the afterlife, to the very end, and no matter who it is, nothing can separate us.
She had already missed out on a lifetime together because of her own mistake, and in this lifetime, she absolutely could not let such a thing happen again.
If that day ever comes, she will never abandon Ye Mohan and live alone in this world.
Ye Mohan frowned. On one hand, he was very happy about Jian Yixue's love for him, but on the other hand, he felt sorry for Jian Yixue and did not want that day to come when she would really follow him.
His identity destined him to have a turbulent life, and he has offended quite a few people over the years.
Even the potential dangers of being the head of the Ye family were already causing him some concern.
Moreover, there's his other identity...
None of the people he offended were simple characters. In the past, he was all alone and naturally had no fear of such things.
Now that he has a beloved person, he also has his own weakness.
He didn't regret Jian Yixue entering his life; he was just afraid that it would put Jian Yixue in more danger.
Although Jian Yixue is not an ordinary person, the danger that his identity might bring is not insignificant.
He wouldn't allow his presence either, and he even put Jian Yixue in danger.
If that's the case, then it's a dereliction of duty on his part as a husband.
Looking at Jian Yixue, who was staring at him with unwavering eyes, Ye Mohan felt a warm glow in his heart, like the warm winter sun, which soothed his somewhat icy heart.
Ye Mohan's lips curled into a charming smile as he reached out and touched Jian Yixue's hair. "I'm just making a hypothetical statement, don't worry."
"That won't do! If that day ever comes, I will never live alone!"
Jian Yixue ignored Ye Mohan's explanation and waited for him to finish before expressing her determination.
What Ye Mohan didn't know was that after what happened in her previous life, how could Jian Yixue calmly accept living alone?
She was reborn to live for Ye Mohan.
If Ye Mohan is gone, what's the point of her living? It would be better to go to the underworld together.
Ye Mohan felt incredibly warm inside after hearing this. His face, which was full of tenderness and smiles, now showed a hint of helplessness, but his eyes were still full of doting affection.
Jian Yixue's words touched him. Now he was someone who was cared for, no longer the lonely workaholic he used to be.
Looking at Jian Yixue in front of him, Ye Mohan's heart was as cold as ice melting in the Arctic.
Never mind, he'll just try his best to stay with her until they grow old together.
Having promised her his whole life, he had an obligation to protect her throughout her life.
"I promise you, we will grow old together."
Ye Mohan tightened his grip on Jian Yixue's hand, feeling deeply grateful that she had appeared in his life and given him a different way of living.
It brought him the warmth of family and made him realize that besides endless work, there is also love that can warm people's hearts and make them feel intoxicated.
Only such a life can be considered a truly meaningful life; the previous decades I had merely made do with living.
Jian Yixue nodded in complete agreement after listening.
This is what she wanted, and this is what Ye Mohan's style is all about.
In his heart, he was like a peerless hero.
It's impossible for us to become discouraged and give up because of such a small difficulty.
Facing challenges head-on is his style, and this approach is in line with Ye Mohan's character.
Just as Jian Yixue was immersed in her emotions, she had clearly forgotten about the village chief standing to the side.
The village chief felt a little embarrassed seeing the two of them so affectionate.
An unnatural red tinge appeared on his aged, wrinkled face, barely noticeable against his sallow skin.
Fortunately, it wasn't obvious, otherwise the village chief wouldn't know where to put his face.
However, his gaze remained fixed on the two of them, his face full of satisfaction.
Actually, he was at ease as long as Xue was happy.
The village chief's eyes flickered, and he covered his mouth with his hand, coughing lightly a few times to remind Jian Yixue and the other person.
He genuinely didn't know what else he might see that he shouldn't have, and it wouldn't be worth it if people called him shameless at his age.
Jian Yixue, who was gazing affectionately at Ye Mohan, suddenly realized what was happening when she heard the cough. Remembering that the village chief had been watching the whole thing, her face flushed red and she turned away.
Seeing Jian Yixue's adorable actions, Ye Mohan's smile grew even brighter.
He showed no sign of embarrassment at being caught, as if what had just happened was perfectly normal to him.
Instead, they were somewhat dissatisfied with the village chief who had disturbed them.
Having finally managed to have a moment of tenderness with Jian Yixue, only to have it end before he could even savor the sweetness, Ye Mohan was far from happy.
