Han Junche and Chi Xia both knew perfectly well that a mere iron chain could not restrain her; the reason the chain still existed was simply to represent their attitudes.
What Han Junche wanted to show was that he would not let Chi Xia leave him, even if he had to force her. What Chi Xia wanted to show was that she would stay by his side willingly, regardless of whether the chain was there or not.
Chi Xia believed that once he was truly certain that she would never leave him, the chains would naturally come undone.
That said, how exactly does Han Junche plan to settle his affairs with the Jia family?
Judging from his confident demeanor just now, he must have already made a plan. I'll ask him about it again tonight.
Chi Xia lay back down on the bed and picked up the book she had been reading.
Han Junche returned quickly after finishing his meal, and re-chained the other end of the iron chain to himself. Chi Xia looked at him, both amused and annoyed, and rolled her eyes at him: "Ache, if you only feel safe when you chain me up, then just chain me up when you go out. There's no need to chain us up when we're together, is there? Do you want to drag me in for a look when you go to the toilet?"
Han Junche's ears turned slightly red upon hearing this.
Standing in the room, a tall man over 1.8 meters tall, with his slightly reddened ears, he somehow exuded a somewhat awkward and honest air.
Chi Xia had never seen Han Junche like this before, and couldn't help but find it adorable. She stood up, poked his ear with her finger, and said with a smile, "Is A-Che shy?"
Han Junche glanced at her, his dark eyes flashing with a mixture of anger and resentment, which made Chi Xia feel a little itchy.
She reached out, wanting to touch his ear again, but Han Junche grabbed her hand, took out a key from his body, and unlocked the chain.
Chi Xia moved her hand and foot that had been chained up. Although the chains weren't heavy, they were still metal and felt uncomfortable, even leaving red marks.
Her skin was already fair, so the red mark was particularly noticeable.
Han Junche's gaze fell on her wrist. He reached out and took her hand, gently stroking the red mark on her wrist. His eyes were dark, and he asked in a hoarse voice, "Does it hurt?"
Chi Xia, afraid that he would feel guilty, quickly shook her head: "It doesn't hurt, it's just some red marks, it will go away in a while."
Han Junche didn't speak, but gently stroked the red mark on her wrist with his slender fingers, as if he could erase it.
Chi Xia couldn't bear to see him like this. She would rather he always be cool and aloof, in control of everything, than this, so cautious and guilty towards her.
She withdrew her hand, smiled at him, and changed the subject: "Do you want to come back with me? I haven't been back since Jia Jing called me out this morning. I haven't even told Zhang Xin and the others that I'm here. Mengmeng must be worried because she hasn't seen me all day."
Han Junche withdrew his gaze from her wrist, his dark eyes fixed on her.
Thinking he disagreed, Chi Xia quickly added, "Or you could have Lin Yi and the others tell Zhang Xin."
Han Junche looked at her without saying a word. There was a struggle in his eyes, and his dark eyes kept changing expression.
Chi Xia was puzzled by his gaze and was about to ask a question when she heard him say in a low, husky voice, "You said you were sure you wouldn't leave me again, right?"
Upon hearing this, Chi Xia nodded quickly: "Yes, absolutely, definitely."
"I want you to swear." Han Junche looked at her and said, word by word, "No matter what happens, you will never despise me, and you will never abandon me."
