405 I Will Protect My Woman Myself! (1/2)
”Don't get so emotional, Mo Xie. I never said that I won't allow the two of you to be together. I'm only saying that we must postpone this matter for some time. Yes, your relationship with Qing Han is that of husband and wife now. This is a fact that doesn't need reminding. Each one of us wants to facilitate this. And, none of us wishes to hinder it. And, you have to understand that!”
Jun Wu Yi pounded his hands on the desk, ”But, this thing will take time! You need to give us some time for mediation! Wait till Qing Han's new identity is known to the world. After that, I will personally take charge of your wedding! Let her live with honor and dignity as your wife! Can't you even wait for such a short period of time? Do you want everyone to be reviled? Do you want that our family perishes and everyone sneers at us? Will you be pleased then?”
”How would that happen?” Jun Mo Xie didn't yield an inch. He looked up and replied, ”Third Uncle, who will bear the pressure of these mistakes if I avoid these problems and hide like a turtle in its shell? Who will bear it?”
Jun Mo Xie had a quick idea. He turned around, and a streak of blue light emerged from his fingertips. It streaked across to the tent's entrance, and cut its flap like a blade. The flap floated down, and revealed Guan Qing Han's tear-stained face. Dugu Xiao Yi stood beside her with a panic-stricken and helpless expression.
Silence reigned inside the tent. No one spoke-up. [Who will bear it? Is it even necessary to say it?]
”I will leave, and I will relax. And, I will escape all punishment. After all, the infamy will have nothing to do with me if I'm not around. But, that doesn't mean that it won't find anyone's doorstep! Someone will still need to bear those onslaughts. And, that someone will be her — Guan Qing Han!” Jun Mo Xie strode over, grabbed Guan Qing Han's arm, and pulled her inside.
”This woman will have to bear the dishonor if I escape! This woman… who has already suffered so much for the Jun Family!” Jun Mo Xie had turned somewhat red. He did his best to control his anger. But, he was unable to stop it, ”Will my woman have to bear everything for me?!”
Jun Mo Xie looked at his uncle in a serious manner. His eyes flashed with light, ”You're an experienced man, Third Uncle. How could you not know the power of slanderous gossip? There's no end to the envy of so many people! How could a delicate young woman bear those accusations? Wouldn't that pressure hound her to death?”
Guan Qing Han's delicate body seemed like a dead leaf that was floating-about in the autumn wind. She was even shuddering in a light manner. Her otherwise cold face seemed helpless at this time. She was strong, and she could bear much more than an average woman could. But, she still wouldn't be able to stand up to the entire world once they'd start deriding her virtue.
”She's my adopted daughter, and my nephew's wife! I will protect her! I will hide her inside our home, and I won't allow her to hear a single strand of those slanderous gossips! She can wait to show her face. And, everything will have become calm by the time she does that,” Jun Wu Yi was moved somewhat, ”Do you think that I wouldn't even have known this much?”
”Will this situation ever calm down?” Jun Mo Xie snorted and said, ”How many of those people could you call 'resolute' individuals? There are many who are bored out of their minds! There are many who can sleep with prostitutes, yet they act high-and-noble on the outside when they criticize others! Am I seeing less here? This crisis will perhaps never be resolved unless I assert myself! They won't stop unless Guan Qing Han kills herself! They will only stop once her blood has wiped this matter clean. Therefore…
”I will protect my woman myself!” Jun Mo Xie's voice was extremely sharp. He seemed to be brimming with a murderous aura as he straightened his back, and gazed loftily at the four men, ”This is my responsibility! I won't avoid it! I'll never do that!
”I don't care about her previous identity. I only know that she is my woman now! And, she became my woman to save me!”
Jun Mo Xie's shining eyes were full of killing intention. And, they shone even brighter as he continued, ”I don't care what happened before! And, neither do I care about what my feelings were at that time. I only know that Guan Qing Han is my woman! She is Jun Mo Xie's woman! And, no one can ever even dream of harming her!”
Jun Mo Xie's voice was sonorous. And, it resounded in a powerful manner, ”Would I be able to call myself a real man if I hide from the truth and make my woman deal with the mountain-like burden of an ocean of criticism in my stead…?”
Jun Mo Xie sneered and continued, ”Would I be regarded as a real man if I run and escape from my responsibility? Would I still be 'me'? Don't forget the Jun Family's teaching; 'Having b*lls doesn't make you a real man. It is the indomitable spirit that does!'
”So what if everyone comes to curse and criticize us…?”
Jun Mo Xie smirked with arrogance, ”I will support my woman in this world! I will continue on my path… even if I have to kill everyone else in the world! I won't retreat even after ten-thousand deaths have stained my path!”
Guan Qing Han suddenly-and-involuntarily broke down, and started to cry bitter tears. And, her weeping was loud…
She had been worried about this matter since the previous evening. In fact, Guan Qing Han didn't know how she would face everything if Jun Mo Xie were to go into hiding… she perhaps would've killed herself…
However, each word of Jun Mo Xie's was strong and resolute. In fact, each of his words was a decisive blow which could kill any enemy…
[This man isn't speaking with honeyed words. And, he isn't pledging his undying love either. But, he's ready to set himself against the world for my sake. Moreover, he's even ready to fight against the morals and ideologies of the society at-large!]
[He will fight the entire world for my sake!]
[Which man would ever have taken such a step for his woman?]
The misgivings of Guan Qing Han's heart had vanished in an instant.
Dugu Xiao Yi looked at Jun Mo Xie's upright body. His words seemed like a declaration of war. His eyes seemed to have been brimming with affection. And then, she saw Guan Qing Han's expression. The little girl obviously couldn't help became envious. [If only he does something like this for me one day…]
”Ha ha… good!” Jun Wu Yi's serious voice had suddenly changed. His face had started to brim with admiration. He clapped and said, ”Good! You are worthy of being called Jun Wu Yi's nephew! This is the indomitable spirit of a man who deserves praise! This is a real man!”
