Chapter 114 - Bastard That's Me

Despite Xu Yangyi's suggestion to let the issue pass.

Nonetheless, Hee Jingyan felt far from content. Reminiscing on his past behavior, he promptly administered a slap to his own face.

Xu Yangyi was taken aback, never anticipating Hee Jingyan's self-inflicted action.

“What on earth are you doing?” Uncertain of how to react, Xu Yangyi felt a resurgence of fear.

“I lost control, hence the need to jolt myself awake with a slap,” Hee Jingyan explained, addressing his lack of restraint.

With a reassuring smile directed at Xu Yangyi, Hee Jingyan conveyed his lack of concern.

Yet, beneath the facade, he harbored an agonizing worry about Xu Yangyi's fate once he departed.

“My dear.”

Hee Jingyan's tender voice dripped with affection as he tenderly brushed Xu Yangyi's face, his eyes betraying a profound anguish.

Xu Yangyi comprehended the root of Hee Jingyan's distress, albeit choosing to remain silent on the matter.

Amidst his inner conflict, he grappled with the reality of his role as Hee Jingyan's spouse, knowing it was merely a facade.

Returning to his former life was an option, freeing him from entanglement with Hee Jingyan.

Yet, confronted with Hee Jingyan's sorrow, articulating his desire to depart proved insurmountable.

“Ugh! How vexing!”

Xu Yangyi found himself in a quandary, uncertain of the path forward.

Nevertheless, he couldn't deny his fondness for Hee Jingyan.

Where else could he find someone like Hee Jingyan, who showered him with affection? Even those who harbored ill intentions towards him were permitted to vent their frustrations.

They occasionally took advantage of him and were deceitful, often playing tricks on him.

“I'll pretend to be your wife until Xu Nuannuan returns!” Xu Yangyi declared, unable to bear witnessing Hee Jingyan's sorrow.

Although his words were spontaneous, they brought a sense of relief to his heart.

Upon hearing this, Hee Jingyan didn't display any joy, wishing instead for Xu Yangyi to stay and willingly be his partner.

Rather than replacing his sister, Xu Yangyi chose to remain by Hee Jingyan's side.

Despite the circumstances being better now compared to when Xu Yangyi had left him, Hee Jingyan still felt a pang of sadness.

“Are you upset again?” Xu Yangyi asked cautiously, refraining from his usual confrontational demeanor.

Hee Jingyan remained silent as Xu Yangyi cautiously inquired, no longer displaying aggression.

Hee Jingyan shook his head, unable to find the right words, so he simply gazed at Xu Yangyi.

Xu Yangyi's heart raced inexplicably, his body reacting beyond his control.

Nevertheless, a part of his heart felt touched.

Xu Yangyi absentmindedly placed a hand over his chest, experiencing this sensation towards another for the first time.

“I'll step outside for a moment.”

Concerned he might lose his temper again, Hee Jingyan opted to leave.

However, as he rose, Xu Yangyi suddenly grasped his hand.

Hee Jingyan was momentarily stunned, turning to regard Xu Yangyi with surprise.

Xu Yangyi's face flushed. Turning away, he whispered, “Provoking me isn't good for your health. I can help you manage it. Consider it an apology for my outburst.”

After uttering those words, Xu Yangyi's face reddened. It was the first time he had ever expressed such sentiments.

Hee Jingyan wondered if he had misheard as he stared at Xu Yangyi in disbelief.

Typically, Xu Yangyi resisted any attempts at intimacy, but now he was taking the initiative.

This time, Hee Jingyan effortlessly won over Xu Yangyi. Though he had been hurt before, he felt he deserved it.
