AST 2066 - Shen Huang’s uncertainty (2/2)

Qing Shui was the only person who would have the guts to say such vulgar things in front of her. It was weird that she didn’t seem to be angry at all. If he were to say that thing in the past, the consequences would have been unimaginable. Could it be that she had degraded herself?

...

“I was just trying to make you happy. What I just said may sound vulgar, but back in where I live, we have a saying: 'Women are attracted to bad boys'. It's always been emphasized that women tend to find jerks more appealing. I am actually an honest man; you don't know how much courage I have to summon up just to say that. What I said just now doesn't reflect how I actually am.” Qing Shui apologized sincerely.

“What nonsense are you saying. Only people who like each other are allowed to…” When Shen Huang spoke up to this point, she noticed that her tongue might have slipped. She didn’t know why she would say something like that.

Qing Shui chuckled, “That’s true. When people who have affections for each other talk about this, it is happiness. But if these things were to come out of the mouth of someone whom you don’t have feelings for, it will be no different from listening to immoral drivel.”

“I am not mad. I just don’t know how I should respond to what you say. If that’s the case, will you feel that I am not a serious woman?” Shen Huang said and shook her head.

“How are you not serious? You are a virgin.”

Seeing Shen Huang’s murderous eyes, Qing Shui knew it was time to end this topic. He then looked up into the sky and added, “What a good night scene.”

At the moment he finished speaking, he moved on to look at the beautiful sphere-like object in the sky, “The moon today looks a bit brighter!”

Pu-chi!

Shen Huang smiled, even though it was only for a moment. She then slowly entered his embrace and said, “I am feeling a bit tired, let me rest for a while.”

Qing Shui moved his hands and let her lay down on the crook of his arms so that she would feel more comfortable. Deep down, he was very happy. Even though what he said just now might sound unreasonable, it still ended up having quite a huge impact. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have leaned onto him no matter how tired she felt.

Qing Shui was immersed in her look when she smiled before. Even though her smile might not look as cheerful as the Flower Demon’s, it was a lot more beautiful and bewitching than hers. That was a kind of amazement he felt deep from within his heart. He didn’t know how to describe it. His heart was stirred up at the moment when he witnessed that, yet he failed to come up with any dirty thoughts of her. He only found her to be really gorgeous, beautiful enough to stun anyone present.

When Shen Huang saw Qing Shui’s distracted look, she extended her hand and pinched his waist, “Stop looking!”

Qing Shui nodded like an old man who was calm and didn’t have any worldly passions. He thought about a lot of things. And he wouldn’t be persistent with chasing after her, nor would he avoid it. To the current Qing Shui, having a woman like her was only a kind of luxury. He should consider himself lucky to be able to experience things like this with her. If he were still single, he would have thrown away everything just to win her heart over.

Even though he might have more than one woman now, he no longer found it as unfair as he did before. Love itself was already unfair to begin with. Even though he might have come to accept this, he would still remind himself to not emphasize too much on these things.

Qing Shui shut his eyes while pondering over all of these. Shen Huang, on the other hand, had her eyes opened looking at the man who was within arms reach. As time passed, she felt that she had begun getting gradually closer to him. Not only physically, but also spiritually and mentally.

She knew that Qing Shui was already married and had his own children. He was married not only to one, but multiple wives and some of them were almost equal to her in terms of looks. She didn’t know what she should do. Even though she didn’t like this man, or rather, she wasn’t sure if that was still the case at this point.

Seeing that she was able to lay in his arms so comfortably, if she didn’t like him, would she have allowed herself to do that?

She only had a few days more to live. Back then, her life had been saved by this man, and until now, he was still the person keeping her alive. If, in the end, he really ended up using that kind of method to save her as a last resort, what should she do?
