385 The Undercurrent in the Capital (1/2)
Jun Mo Xie would rarely ever be serious. But, anything he'd ever say in a serious manner would stand to represent a commitment. And, Guan Qing Han had understood this fact clearly by this time. However, it was the understanding of this point that had left her to feel increasingly scared.
Someone would've spat out a mouthful of saliva in contempt if he hadn't spoken those words with a serious look. However, no one could've done that in this instance!
[No one can ever change his decision. He had similarly vowed to protect me when faced with the Xue Hun Manor's threat. So, I'm sure he means it this time as well.]
”Everyone has always called me a licentious debauchee… they've said that I'm ignorant and useless…” Jun Mo Xie smiled bitterly. ”However, I don't understand a woman's mind in reality… Nor do I know how to talk of love. Maybe I should carefully cajole you at this time… or convey gentle feelings with honey-laced words. You have done a lot for me. And, I'm not a heartless man. But, I can… I can… I genuinely don't know how to say these things…”
”I have never talked about love! I have genuinely never talked about it! Yesterday's matter… ahem… it was my first time in this life. And, it was painful for me as well. I'm not lying to you. You weren't the only one who felt pain. I felt it too. In fact, I feel a little dizzy at this time. I can tell you this, but I felt very embarrassed at the thought of mentioning this to the others…” Jun Mo Xie's face seemed pained, and a little embarrassed.
Guan Qing Han had wanted to laugh out for a brief second. She had been a maiden woman until then. So, this instance had been her first time as well. And, she too had felt a lot of pain. So, how could she have felt like laughing at this time? It was because she had heard these words from Jun Mo Xie's mouth…
It was very hard to believe these words since they were coming from the mouth of a Young Master with such an ill and loathsome reputation. But, Guan Qing Han didn't laugh since she saw the expression on Jun Mo Xie's face. Jun Mo Xie's expression was strange and awkward, but Guan Qing Han could tell that those words weren't lies. In fact, they had seemingly come straight from his heart…
[Is possible that this is true?!]
[The legendary tyrant… the greatest debauchee of Tian Xiang is a first-time in reality? It can't be, right? There would still be a little credibility to the words of a man who says that a few women in the Spirit Fog Lake are virgins. But, Jun Mo Xie…]
However, Guan Qing Han hadn't listened properly. Jun Mo Xie had specifically said in ”this life.” Or maybe she had heard him clearly. However, she was unable to understand the meaning contained in those two specific words.
Guan Qing Han's eyebrows skewed, and her face became cold once again.
Jun Mo Xie waited for a moment. He noticed that Guan Qing Han's lustrous mouth had opened for a moment, but her complexion had eased to some extent. So, he couldn't help relax as he said, ”In fact, last night… I had the medicine and my mind had spiraled into a chaos… I know that I had exerted the entire of my strength, but I didn't feel a thing… it's indeed a huge pity…”
Guan Qing Han hadn't expected that the little brat would speak such words right when he was being serious. Consequently, her face became red with embarrassment.
Jun Mo Xie's intention was to use those words to probe the situation. He had always noticed that Guan Qing Han would get enraged whenever he would say or do something foul and bold. In fact, he couldn't help but gather the courage to get up in order to hold her in his arms…
However, Guan Qing Han was startled by this, and hastily took two steps back. She wiped the tears from her cheeks. And, her face became cold as she said, ”We were helpless in today's matter. But, it was a mistake. I wanted to save you. I didn't do it for you alone, but also for the Jun Family's sole heir! We have made that mistake, but it doesn't mean that you can recklessly disrespect me! Jun Mo Xie, we can't make that mistake again! A mistake only adds to a mistake! You… are acting willful again!”
Jun Mo Xie stopped his hand midair. His complexion changed a few time in a short while. Then, he eventually retracted his hand, and spoke-up, ”You can't accept something at one moment, and… say something else later… you said… you are my woman! So, why would you run away now? Your status in the family will change after we return, and Third Uncle will take you as his adopted daughter. We'll have a huge banquet. And, all the respected individuals of the world will come to attend… So, I believe that things will slowly simmer down. And then, I can take you through the doorway of marriage.”
”Who… who said that I'll marry you?!” Guan Qing Han was embarrassed and angry. [I've never seen such a tyrant! He has spoken no sweet words to me yet, and he still wants to marry me…?
”Whether you get married or not… is your business. And, me taking a wife or not… is my thing.” Jun Mo Xie's eyebrows rose as he gave a nefarious smile and said, ”Come, beautiful… you've had an exhausting day. I know you're tired. Hurry up, and I'll send to you to take rest…”
Guan Qing Han's face instantly became red. And then, it became as white as ice. She looked at Jun Mo Xie, and enunciated every word she spoke, ”You rest, Jun Mo Xie. Don't try those methods with me! Don't make me look down on you again! And, you can forget about what happened today. You go back to your grandfather, and tell him everything. He will settle the accounts. And, I will never stay here with you for the life of me…”
Jun Mo Xie smiled and replied, ”I said that I'll send you off to rest. I never said that I'll make you stay here. Elder Sister seems to be thinking crooked things…”
Guan Qing Han's eyes opened wide as she pointed a shaky finger at him, ”You… you lecher! You hoodlum! I will be your Elder Sister?!”
Jun Mo Xie laughed out loud, ”Let's look at this. You are Third Uncle's adopted daughter. So, does means you're my elder sister, right?”
Guan Qing Han got extremely mad. She swung her sleeves, and turned to go. But, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her lower body the moment she took a step. Her forehead got covered with beads of cold sweat since she couldn't take another step!
Guan Qing Han had just lost her virtue. In fact, she had endured hardships for the entire day. That had already been too much for her delicate body. And, adding oil to fire… Jun Mo Xie had been very rough.
Jun Mo Xie saw this, and rushed forward. He stooped down, and his left hand went under her neck, while his right hand curved under her legs. He held her like one holds a baby, and brought her body up towards his chest. The Young Master then stood up, smiled, and walked outside while carrying her in his arms. He smiled as he said in a lowered tone, ”Don't worry. I'll take you back.”
Guan Qing Han was alarmed and ashamed by this. How could she live with pride if she was carried back by him in this manner? Therefore, she couldn't help but struggle in a vigorous manner.
Jun Mo Xie controlled her body in a firm manner, and didn't allow her move. He then steadily walked out. Guan Qing Han felt so embarrassed and ashamed at this that she hid her head in his arms. The Young Lady didn't wish for anyone to see her, and didn't wish to see anyone herself either…
