Chapter 68 Please Forgive Me (1/2)

This was why Xin Qing was so angry.

Ying Qingcang was very subjective. He was accustomed to project his own thinking pattern onto others. Of course, this was a habit of all the superior parties. But in terms of relationship, such kind of behavior would make the other one very upset. If Xin Qing was only a mistress financially supported by Ying Qingcang, it didn't matter. But they were lovers now. Ying Qingcang would lose his temper once their relationship or Xin Qing was out of his control. Such behavior would hurt Xin Qing, making her even more helpless and insecure.

”You hurt me just because you felt uncertain?” Xin Qing turned aside to avoid facing him. She was only 18, and he was so much older than her. But he acted like they were quite the reverse.

Ying Qingcang didn't know what to say. He freaked out when he saw Xin Qing's intense reaction that night. The second Xin Qing fell from the horse, his heart seemed to stop. He stared at the girl lying still on the ground and didn't dare to touch her, fearing that she would never wake up again.

While Xin Qing was in a coma, Ying Qingcang could feel nothing, as if he was living in another space. He stared at the girl in bed, making sure that when she woke up, the first person she saw was him.

”I'm sorry!” Ying Qingcang could only apologize. He had never said sorry and never apologized to anyone before.

Xin Qing stole a look at him and a bitter feeling arose. ”You look so ugly. Go and clean yourself.”

”Do I?” Ying Qingcang touched his cheek and felt his beard.

Xin Qing looked at him and said, ”You look like an old man.” Ying Qingcang jumped up at her words, saying, ”I'll go and shave immediately.” Then he rushed into the bathroom. When he came out clean, he saw Xin Qing's eyes were closed. Being afraid that there was something wrong, he put his finger under her nose to see if she was still breathing. Knowing that she was only sleeping, he was finally relieved.

Xin Qing got out of the hospital the second day. When she was back to the Ying Ancestral Home, she found Rong Siman disappeared.

”Her precious son is on summer vacation. She takes him abroad.” Monica went closer to Xin Qing and said, ”She is hiding outside. I know what happened that day. Ah Cang almost strangled her to death.”

Even though Monica said so, Xin Qing didn't believe that woman had given up. Rong Siman was different from Monica. In her mind, all men should love her and surrender to her. She had a severe princess syndrome.

”Take care of yourself and have a good rest. Don't go out again. You missed the last full-moon night. We don't know what will happen.” At the table, Ying Hao nagged in front of her and Ying Qingcang.

Xin Qing's face blushed and was almost inside the bowl. Seeing that, Ying Qingcang stopped Ying Hao rudely, ”Can't you stop talking? Do you want her to eat or not?”

”I'll stop. Eat first! Eat first!” Ying Hao noticed Xin Qing's embarrassment and added, ”This is for your own good.”

Hearing this, Xin Qing looked up and asked, ”Uncle Ying, how does the Ancestral Behest describe our relationship? Why does it say that Ying Qingcang likes me only because of our Totems?”

”Bullship. Don't believe those nonsense.” Ying Qingcang frowned and gave Ying Hao an evil look.

Xin Qing glanced at him and continued, ”I have the right to know, don't I? Anyway, this is about us. The problem can't be solved if we escape from it.”

Ying Hao nodded. Before, he accepted Xin Qing, mainly because Ying Qingcang had to take her no matter she was good or not. He originally planned to keep her in the family all her life if Ying Qingcang didn't like her. He would find another woman to marry Ying Qingcang. But he didn't expect that Ying Qingcang was more than willing to marry her. Besides, Xin Qing behaved like she was not just an 18-year-old girl.

This was a brave girl with a strong mind! Ying Hao was very satisfied. Even though there was a possibility that they loved each other only because of the words on the Ancestral Behest, it didn't matter. They had to be together anyway. The reason didn't matter.

”According to the Ancestral Behest, when you're together, you'll gradually love each other. This is an inevitable result and no one can resist. You will crave for each other's body and will have the urge to get closer.”

Hearing what Ying Hao said, Xin Qing frowned and thought for a while. ”Why didn't you know that until now? Was Ying Qingcang aware of this when he first met me?” If Ying Qingcang knew, at the very beginning, that he would fall in love with me, he probably wouldn't treat me like that.

”Those words didn't show up in the Ancestral Behest until you were here.”

Xin Qing looked at Ying Hao in surprise. Was this Ancestral Behest really so miraculous? Ying Qingcang curled his lips and said with distain, ”Perhaps you added them by yourself.”

”Bullshit!” Ying Hao gave him an ugly face and said, ”You know I wouldn't do such thing.” He noticed that Xin Qing kept her head low without a word, so he stood up and said, ”You'd better be honest to each other. This is good for everyone.” Then he left.

Seeing that there were only two of them left, Xin Qing got up and was about to leave. Ying Qingcang dragged her into his arms and comforted, ”Don't be mad.”

That was it? Xin Qing was still waiting for him to continue, but he just held her silently.

Sure enough, he didn't know how to comfort people, neither did he know how to apologize. Xin Qing pushed him away and said, ”I haven't forgiven you. You made me sad and hurt.” She touched her head, thinking that she was lucky the grass was so soft, otherwise she would be disfigured.

”That's ok.” Ying Qingcang stretched out his arms and began to hold her again. Xin Qing rolled her eyes in his arms. It was impossible for a bossy man to truly apologize and comfort others.
