Chapter 618 (2/2)

“I’m sorry . I’ve made you worry . ” Long Chen hugged Meng Qi, filled with shame . During the time they had thought he had died, Meng Qi and Tang Wan-er had spent all day crying for him . He truly had made things hard on them .

“Long Chen, promise me, even if we have to die, we’ll die together . I don’t want to part . That kind of pain is too terrifying . ” Meng Qi clenched Long Chen as if she was afraid he would fly away .

“Alright, I’ll listen to you . ”

Long Chen knew that at this time, no matter what promises he made, no matter how he tried to explain himself, it would all be useless . The only thing he could say was the truth .

As expected, as soon as he said this, Meng Qi became delighted, and an extremely moving smile appeared on her face . It was like a flower blooming out of the water, still dotted with droplets, beautiful beyond compare .

“Meng Qi, you really are beautiful . ” Long Chen couldn’t help but praise her .

Meng Qi blushed slightly, appearing even more beautiful . She gently said, “It seems that after all this time, other than that time on Sunset Mountain outside the capital, you’ve never praised me like this . ”

“This isn’t praise but the truth . In my heart, you are like a grand immortal who has descended into the world of mortals . Each time I’m in front of you, I feel ashamed of my own inferiority . It’s like just talking to you is a blasphemy,” sighed Long Chen .

“Dislikable . This glib mouth of yours is how you tricked the other sisters . ” Meng Qi rubbed her hand against his face as if she were shaving him of his embarra.s.sment .

Being touched by Meng Qi’s hand made Long Chen feel extremely warm, and he couldn’t help giving her hand a kiss .

It was like Meng Qi was given an electric shock and she hastily took back her hand, blus.h.i.+ng . Even her ears were red now .

“This is your punishment for talking nonsense . ” Long Chen laughed .

“You… I didn’t say anything wrong . This is exactly how you tricked the other sisters . ” Meng Qi lowered her head, not daring to look at Long Chen .

“Definitely not . Chu Yao was someone who was in a similar situation as me . As for Tang Wan-er, our relations.h.i.+p… hehe, how should I put it? It should be a quarrelsome but loving couple . In truth, I also want to talk properly to her, but I always feel like that’s so boring . I rather like Wan-er’s explosive rage . ” Long Chen laughed .

“Each time, you always anger Wan-er so much . In truth, Wan-er is a very gentle woman,” sighed Meng Qi .

“Gentle? It seems this word doesn’t have the slightest relation to Wan-er . How come in all our time together, I never noticed such a thing?”

“Isn’t it because you always intentionally tease her? Using her words, you are a typical case of a child who will go rip up the roof tiles if you aren’t given a beating every day,” said Meng Qi .

“I’m actually this amazing? Even I didn’t know that!”

“You! You should treat Wan-er better . Although she likes to be fierce, she really does love you,” advised Meng Qi .

“Do you love me?” Long Chen suddenly smiled naughtily .

“I don’t . You’re too wicked,” said Meng Qi in a huff .

“Why?”

“Hmph, because you’re too fickle . All you like to do is mess around with other women . What’s the use in loving you?” said Meng Qi .

Hearing that, Long Chen went silent .

Seeing Long Chen like that, Meng Qi thought he had gotten angry and she held Long Chen’s hand . “Long Chen, I was just joking . Don’t get angry . ”

“I’m not such a petty person . In truth, I really do have some problems in that regard . I…”

Meng Qi covered his mouth, cutting him off . “Long Chen, you don’t need to explain yourself . Since we’ve chosen to be with you, none of us have any thoughts of trying to occupy all of you . When Wan-er interrogated you that day, it wasn’t because she was jealous . It’s just that you have a natural wildness that seems to want to fight against heaven and earth .

“That kind of wildness poses a fatal attraction for women . Despite clearly knowing its very dangerous, we can’t help investigating . But then most fatal of all, Long Chen, you care so deeply . You take responsibility for each person you like .

“Whether it is your female confidants or your hot-blooded brothers, you are willing to risk your life for them . That’s also why we will all have no complaints or regrets to stay by your side . But do you know? You aren’t a G.o.d . You are just a human . All those emotions have become a heavy burden on you .

“When Ye Zhiqiu and Lu Fang-er fell, I saw how pained you were . At that moment, I knew I would never be able to leave you . However, I also don’t want to see you suffer that kind of grief again, because we will also feel extremely pained . That’s why we don’t want you to get more lovers .

“It’s not that we’ll get jealous, but that we’re afraid of you being in pain again . Let me say it again: you are not a G.o.d . You can’t guarantee that no one by your side will fall again . The fewer of us there are, the less chance of one of us falling . Then there will be less chance of you having to go through that pain again . Long Chen, do you understand?” Meng Qi gently caressed Long Chen’s face .

“I understand . ” Long Chen nodded . It seemed she had given this a great deal of thought .

“Good . Then tell me, just how many girls did you mess around with this time?” Meng Qi suddenly changed tunes and stared deeply into Long Chen’s eyes .
