Chapter 276 - 274. Dont Leave Me Again (1/2)
Third-person POV
Weisheng leaned his head on the crook of her neck like he always did in the past. The scent and the warmth that he had longed for, finally he could feel it again. After he hugged Hong er, he realized that she was thinner than she used to be. From his touch, he could tell that she had lost almost all of the muscles that she gained from practicing martial arts.
Another thing that he noticed was her hair, the length of her hair was shorter than the last time he saw her. From the choppy haircut, he guessed that she carelessly cut her hair without minding much about the length as it would be much more convenient to take care.
And although her hair was still soft and straight, it was undeniable that her hair had become rougher. During her time in the Xu family and as Empress, she received the best treatment she could ever get. But he didn't mind it at all, he wouldn't ask for more as long as she was here.
Hong er's heart almost stopped for a second. A pair of strong and thick arms circled around her, pulling her closer to the embrace. Her arms were folded in between her body and Weisheng's body and her head was pressed on his hard chest. Although Hong er had lost her hearing ability, she could still feel the heartbeat with her ear.
After listening to it for a while, Hong er felt that the rhythm of the heartbeat was familiar yet she couldn't remember where she had heard it from. While she was pondering, she could feel a warm breath brushed over her neck. At that moment, her brain suddenly clicked that a stranger and to make it worse a man was hugging her.
Hong er twisted her body and shouted incoherently, she wiggled her hands out and mercilessly slapped and scratched Weisheng's face. Yet, Weisheng was as solid as rock, he didn't even flinch. On the other side, Weisheng was too immersed in holding her that he didn't give an ounce of care to the injuries that Hong er left on his face. On the contrary, he was thankful that he could feel the pain, with that he was sure that he wasn't in a dream.
”Hit me, slap me, kill me even if you want to. But please…” Weisheng's voice came to a halt.
Although she knew that her effort was useless against the giant in front of her, she still persistently scratched and bit Weisheng's shoulder. The embrace around her tightened but not enough to hurt Hong er.
”… don't leave me again…” Weisheng whispered as his tears fell on her shoulder.
Hong er's hands froze, the droplets seemed to increase by the second and soon her shoulder became damp from Weisheng's tears. Man and woman couldn't be spotted alone or else they would be stamped as uninhibited which Hong er definitely didn't want to. Furthermore, she still held her dead husband in high regard and didn't have any plan to remarry.
