Xuan Yuan Chenxi's closeness always troubled Xuan Yuan Changhong. He also harbored sincere feelings, but he was older than Xuan Yuan Chenxi.
Putting aside subjective factors, Xuan Yuan Changhong couldn't think of any reason why a young girl in the prime of her life would fall for a 36-year-old middle-aged man like him.
I love reading, I'm not much of a talker, and I only enjoy practicing swordsmanship. Unlike my older brother and Fatty, I'm not humorous or witty, I don't have Xiao Yan's handsome face, nor do I have my older brother's sharp business acumen. To put it bluntly, I'm just a dull, middle-aged man who knows a little kung fu.
Seeing that Xuanyuan Changhong remained silent for a while, Xuanyuan Chenxi's eyes suddenly darkened.
Girls are always prone to feeling insecure during such sensitive times.
She clutched the corner of her coat, looked up at Xuan Yuan Changhong, and asked in a trembling voice, "Don't you have anything to say?"
Xuanyuan Changhong looked at Xuanyuan Chenxi and found that her eyes were red and her face was covered with tears. Feeling sorry for her, he walked closer to Xuanyuan Chenxi and reached out to wipe away her tears.
But Xuan Yuan Chenxi grabbed her wrist, and she was very happy that Xuan Yuan Changhong was making a move.
Seeing Xuan Yuan Chenxi's tearful face, Xuan Yuan Changhong tenderly wiped away her tears with his other hand.
"Xiao Xi, I don't know what to say." Xuan Yuan Chang Hong's distressed expression showed that he really didn't know how to handle this matter.
Xuanyuan Chenxi pulled him to sit down, her eyes never leaving Xuanyuan Changhong, and she held Xuanyuan Changhong's hand tightly.
"Then I'll ask, and you can answer me."
Seeing Xuan Yuan Chang Hong nod, she met his gaze.
Do you regret it?
Xuanyuan Changhong was caught off guard by her first question.
He couldn't help but examine himself: Did he regret it?
There will definitely be some regret. In the eyes of the world, doing such a thing is absolutely wrong and will damage Xuanyuan Chenxi's reputation.
But her emotions kept fluctuating, telling Xuanyuan Changhong that there was nothing to regret and that she should face it instead of running away.
"I..." Xuan Yuan Chang Hong was interrupted by Xuan Yuan Chen Xi before he could finish speaking.
Xuanyuan Chenxi squeezed his hand and said, "Don't rush to answer. Think about it carefully. I'll ask you again, what if you get pregnant?"
This question left Xuan Yuan Chang Hong's head buzzing, and he stammered, unable to give a coherent answer.
Xuanyuan Chenxi didn't rush for an answer, but gently asked, "If my family can't accept it in the end, would you be willing to take me to live somewhere where no one can find me?"
What Xuanyuan Chenxi really wanted to ask was how Xuanyuan Changhong viewed her, but she was too shy to ask directly and could only inquire in this tactful way.
Xuanyuan Changhong felt like he was a ticking time bomb about to explode. The beating of his heart was as anxious as the ticking of a bomb about to detonate.
Xuan Yuan Chenxi's heart was also racing. She was terrified of hearing an answer she didn't want to hear. She let go of his hand, stood up, and walked towards the glass wall. The training of the ninth-tier squad below was still going on.
Born into the Xuanyuan family, with her grandfather being one of the first generation of ten ghost hunters, Xuanyuan Chenxi also had that fighting spirit in her bones. Watching the flashing swords below, her depressed mood improved as she watched the exhilarating combat training.
Xuanyuan Changhong's mind was in turmoil. He didn't know what to do, but looking at the girl's frail back and slightly trembling body, his conflicted feelings slowly subsided.
In reality, Xuan Yuan Chenxi was excited by the battle below and was startled when Xuan Yuan Changhong suddenly hugged her. Xuan Yuan Changhong hugged Xuan Yuan Chenxi from behind and kept whispering in her ear.
"Xiao Xi, Xiao Xi, Xiao Xi..."
Xuanyuan Changhong ultimately chose to confront his own heart, even if it was something the world could not accept. He couldn't bear to let Xuanyuan Chenxi, who had always held a sincere heart for him, face this turbulent storm alone.
A man should be responsible; this is a principle his father taught him when he was alive.
Xuanyuan Chenxi knew Xuanyuan Changhong's answer. He hugged her tightly, as if he was very afraid of losing her.
The answers to everything are already clear.
She turned around and hugged Xuan Yuan Chang Hong, and the tears she had just stopped falling uncontrollably again.
“Dad scolded me, saying I was so insensible for dragging you to drink. He said he didn’t know how to face you after what happened. Mom was also very angry. They wouldn’t let me leave my room, so I secretly ran out by myself without taking anything with me to find you.”
“I’m so scared. I’m afraid you’ll have the same attitude as them and won’t be able to accept this. I’ve thought about it. If even you can’t accept it, then I’ll leave here and go somewhere that none of you can find.”
"I really, I don't regret anything that happened, I..."
Xuanyuan Changhong reached out and covered Xuanyuan Chenxi's mouth. With every word she spoke, Xuanyuan Changhong's heart ached even more.
He held her tightly, giving her the most reassuring answer.
“Next Tuesday, I’m going back to the capital. I’ll go see my older brother then and talk to him. If he and my sister-in-law can’t accept it, we’ll leave the capital and move to Guangzhou together. Don’t you have a good relationship with Yanluo’s niece?”
Hearing Xuanyuan Changhong's answer firsthand was far more moving than knowing the answer.
She burst into tears, letting out all the grievances she had suffered throughout the week. Xuan Yuan Chang Hong felt a pang of heartache at her cries. He was clumsy with words and couldn't offer any words of comfort, so he could only hold her and stroke her head, trying his best to calm her down.
(Sigh, I dare not write too much, or it will be sent back to me again.)
Tu Luoxue and the other two listened to the entire conversation between Xuan Yuanchenxi and Xuan Yuanchenxi through the phone on the table, which was in a voice call mode.
Upon hearing Xuan Yuan Chang Hong's answer, Tu Luo Xue and the other two jumped and danced with excitement, even more thrilled than if they had won the lottery.
In this matter, they were happy for Xuanyuan Chenxi from a perspective of friendship. They all admired Xuanyuan Chenxi's courage to face her own feelings and to speak out about them, which they all found very admirable.
Wang Yi and the others noticed the actions of the two people upstairs and smiled from the bottom of their hearts. Even though the matter was not honorable or respectable on the surface, they were genuinely happy for Xuan Yuan Changhong.
Xu Chunlai leaned closer to Liu Qian and whispered, "I can't believe that Brother Hong, who is so afraid of women, is completely unaffected by Chen Xi."
Liu Qian drew his bow and nocked an arrow, and shot out dozens more arrows in a flash. He laughed and said, "It's probably because I watched her grow up."
"Alright, get in front and block, I'm going to unleash my full power."
Xu Chunlai continued to defend himself with a sullen face, and said aggrievedly, "Brother, am I just a tool for you to defend yourself from attacks?"
Liu Qian conjured a small, arrow-less golden rod and shot it at Xu Chunlai's buttocks, saying speechlessly, "If you do this to me again, next time it'll be an arrow-shaped one."
