Chapter 17 Cold Killing Intent
“I’ll help you . ”
Chu Yao took the cloth from Long Chen’s hand and gently wrapped up his arm . She quietly mumbled, “Sorry . ”
Long Chen was somehow different from anyone else Chu Yao had ever met . Her impression was that he was the only ‘lower person’ that dared fight back against her .
She could tell from Long Chen’s wild and course eyes that he was a man who did fear heavens or earth . He would rather have himself in pain than hurt Chu Yao; this had touched on Chu Yao’s soft inner heart .
When she carefully thought about it, perhaps Long Chen really hadn’t done anything wrong, or maybe she just didn’t know the whole story . This was the first time in all her years that she started to feel a trace of guilt .
“I…” Long Chen was just about to say something .
“You don’t have to apologize . We… today we’ll call it even . I bit you, and you…” Her face turned red . Her chest still felt different from before as if she hadn’t forgotten that previous feeling .
“No, I want to say-“ Long Chen shook his head .
“Everything that needs to be said has been said . This is over . What more do you want to say?” Chu Yao slightly angrily said .
“Oh pretty woman, what I want to say is that you bit my left arm . Why are you bandaging my right arm?”
Only now did Chu Yao notice that in her carelessness she had bound the wrong arm . Not only did her face turn completely red, but seeing his helpless expression, she softly cursed, “Scoundrel, why didn’t you tell me before?”
She once more rebound Long Chen’s arm . It was just a flesh wound, so other than hurting a bit, it couldn’t be considered serious .
Long Chen was laughing inside . This beautiful woman at least had a bit of a conscience . His strategy of hurting himself to gain her confidence had worked perfectly .
Actually, he had healing medicines within his spatialring both for outer and inner wounds . But he didn’t take them out in order to put on a proper show .
Originally Long Chen hadn’t been expecting for this much . If his soft approach hadn’t worked, he was completely prepared to deal out harsher reprisals . Fortunately she had fallen hook, line, and sinker for his trap . This had greatly surpa.s.sed his original expectations .
It was also the first time he gained a faint favorable impression of the royal family . He gently said, “Your little brother was being used . Zhou Yaoyang wanted to use him to pressure me . ”
He then recounted what had happened between him and Zhou Yaoyang briefly . This time he didn’t need to arouse her emotions; all he did was indifferently explain a bit of what he had been through .
“I’m sorry Long Chen . It was I who wronged you . ” Chu Yao felt guilty now, feeling as if she had gone too far .
“Don’t worry, I’m already used to is,” indifferently said Long Chen .
Although his speech was very flat, but combined with his sullen expression, it gave people a powerful moving visual .
Long Chen’s expression caused Chu Yao to feel even more guilt . It was as if she had rubbed salt into someone who was already covered in wounds .
“Haha, don’t take it so seriously . I’m just tricking you into sympathy,” laughed Long Chen .
She didn’t know why, but seeing Long Chen’s smile caused her to feel even worse for him . Even tears started to stream down her face .
“c.r.a.p, don’t cry . I’ll stop talking about it . ”
Long Chen might not fear heaven or earth, but he was afraid of woman crying . He immediately became fl.u.s.tered and didn’t know what to do .
“Can you forgive me?” broken-heartedly asked Chu Yao . She felt as if she was the worst person in the world .
“It’s ok, this wasn’t your fault . It was all caused by a different bad person, so don’t blame yourself,” consoled Long Chen .
“But…”
“No buts . Leave the past in the past . Keep the happy days and forget the sad days . That’s how I’ve done it as long as I can remember,” said Long Chen .
“Thank you Long Chen . ” Chu Yao dabbed her tears and a smile appeared on her beautiful face .
Long Chen’s heart trembled a bit when he looked at Chu Yao . Although she was just a smidge inferior to Meng Qi, her beauty was enough to topple cities . Especially when she laughed; no males could remain unmoved .
Seeing Long Chen suddenly foolishly stare at her, Chu Yao asked in confusion, “Long Chen, why are you looking at me like that?”
“Haha, it’s cause you’re too beautiful . Please don’t take offense . ” Long Chen’s face reddened as he replied truthfully .
“Am I really beautiful?” Chu Yao seriously asked as she pushed her fine hair behind her ear .
Long Chen was surprised, asking, “Of course you’re beautiful; could it be you didn’t know? Has no one else told you?”
Chu Yao shook her head, saying, “People tell me it every day, but I don’t trust them . I don’t like those people who are fake to me every day . ”
She appeared helpless as she said this, a pitiful sight that caused Long Chen’s heart to hurt for her . Compared to the her who had attacked him, it was like two different people . Long Chen hadn’t expected Chu Yao to have such a side to her .
“Let’s find a place to sit . Standing like this is awkward . ”
Long Chen found a clean boulder to sit on, and Chu Yao nodded . But as soon as she sat down, she suddenly jumped back up with a cry .
“What’s wrong?”
