Chapter 77 (1/2)

With regards to Ling Chen, Ling Tian also did not know how he felt. Ever since he brought her back 10 years ago, Ling Tian’s life had been completely taken care of by her. While Ling Chen was a year older than Ling Tian, she had always felt like a child that would never grow up whenever she was by Ling Tian’s side. At every moment, she would want to lean on Ling Tian and enjoy the sense of security from deep within her heart.

As such, such a scenario occurred: While Ling Chen was older than Ling Tian, she would rely on him for everything. At the same time, she would take care of this man who she admired with all of her heart. While Ling Tian was enjoying the care and concern from Ling Chen, he would also protect this lady who was a year older than him. After 10 years of living together, the relations.h.i.+p between the both of them had already surpa.s.sed that of a maid and master. Their relations.h.i.+p was one where both parties would feel warmth and dependence.

After a round of laughter, Ling Chen curled up in Ling Tian’s embrace, her hair messy, eyes blurred and face red. She then used a finger to draw circles on Ling Tian’s chest as she requested, ”Young n.o.ble, can I go with you on that day?”

Ling Tian laughed before replying, ”I would be going there with the motive of picking up girls. How would it be appropriate for you to come?”

Ling Chen then whined, ”But I want to go and see if there is any beauty who can match up to young n.o.ble. ”

Ling Tian then lowered his head and kissed her cheek before teasing, ”Even if there is one or two, how can they be compared to my beautiful Chen’er?”

In embarra.s.sment, Chen’er said, ”Chen’s is just a maid for young n.o.ble to order around. Young n.o.ble will have to find a wife in the future still.” As she said that, while she did not mind, she could not help but feel a sense of regret and sadness in her heart.

Ling Tian was stunned for a moment, as he understood what she meant. He then turned serious and sat up straight, supporting Ling Chen up as well, ”Chen’er, look at me!”

Chen’er sat opposite him obediently, with doubt in her eyes. As she looked at her suave young n.o.ble, she could not help but be smitten with him.

Ling Tian then stared at Ling Chen in the eyes, as though he wanted to pierce deep into her soul, as his stern voice sounded, ”Chen’er, I hope that you will remember this phrase of mine!”

As Ling Chen felt his seriousness, her heart shook for a moment before replying gently, ”Young n.o.ble please speak.” At the same time, she could not help but feel a sense of hopelessness and despair in her heart. She thought that Ling Tian wanted to warn her to not cross the line, not letting her imagination run wild. As she thought about that, tears began to fill her eyes.

Ling Tian then said calmly but resolutely, ”Chen’er, I know that I will let you down in this lifetime. I will not be able to give you a proper status. But, I hope that you will remember this — no matter how many wives or concubine I have in the future, you will always be a lady in the deepest part of my heart! You are genuinely my women!”

Ling Chen whimpered in joy as she dived into Ling Tian’s embrace. With tears streaming down her face, she said, ”Young n.o.ble, oh young n.o.ble. Chen’er is willing to serve you for all my life. Chen’er has never thought about having any status. Chen’er only wishes to stay by young n.o.ble’s side for all my life, I do not have any other requests!”

Ling Tian wiped away her tears gently and said, ”You just have to remember this — no matter when and where, you will always be mine. Do you understand?”

Ling Chen nodded her head in joy as her tears flew all over, ”Chen’er understands. Chen’er is young n.o.ble’s women in life and death!” A full 10 years, Ling Chen had been following Ling Tian for a full 10 years and she finally heard an affirmation from Ling Tian! As this long awaited moment finally arrived, Ling Chen felt that she was overwhelmed with happiness in that moment. Even if were to die right now, she can do so without regrets!

Ling Tian then let out a sigh with guilt in his heart. This generation was just like this; if he were to mention such a thought in his previous life in front of his girlfriend, he would definitely be given two tight slaps. However, Ling Chen was now filled with joy and happiness, as though she had received great grace from Ling Tian.

Feeling the depressing atmosphere, Ling Tian could not help but joke, ”Mmm, I heard that already. Chen’er said that she wanted to be my women. Should I let her fulfill her promise now?”
