Chapter 54 - I Want To Kiss You

Time ticked.

Yu Yan couldn't sleep and kept on tossing on her bed. Part of her was worried about Long Ying while the other part was simply missing him. She felt her feelings were very complicated right now as she continued to toss around on the bed.

She didn't know how long time had passed when she heard the sound of car entering the mansion's compound.

Without hesitation, Yu Yan rushed to the window and peeked outside. She could clearly see the same care that they used in the morning was now parked by the entrance. Relief washed over her body.

'He's alright.'

Two people walked out of the car and entered the mansion. Yu Yan couldn't see anything else and she unwillingly walked to the bed, sitting there like a good girl. She actually wanted to go out of the room and rushed over to meet Long Ying, but feel that it would be inappropriate.

Not to mention, she was wearing pajamas right now and shouldn't be walking around in the middle of the night.

Time felt like going so slow. When the door was finally opened, Yu Yan could see Long Ying walked inside. He was dressed in black clothes, which was different from the one he wore before. At the same time, there was faint smell of blood from him.

Yu Yan was alarmed. "Ying, are you hurt?"

"Yan'er?" Long Ying was surprised to see that Yu Yan was still awake. "What are you doing at this hour? Why don't you sleep yet?"

"I…" Yu Yan wanted to say that she couldn't sleep but she felt that it would be awkward. Wouldn't it be the same as her admitting that she couldn't sleep without him around? She felt embarrassed.

As for her saying that she was worried about him, would he end up rebuking her for that?

"I'm worried about you."

Long Ying paused for a moment as he showed a smile. "Silly girl, I'll be fine even without you worrying about me."

He paused for a while as he could definitely sense the lingering smell of blood. If not because he had just cleaned up some unpleasant things, he would have wanted to hug Yu Yan tightly.

"Thanks for worrying about me. I'm home, Yan'er."

Yu Yan smiled. "En."

Long Ying lowered his gaze slightly to look at her complexion. The only person who ever showed worry to him would be Yu Yan. Even from the very first time they met, she was the only one who genuinely cared for him without knowing who he was.

"Are you… hurt?" Yu Yan asked again.

"No. It's not my blood." Long Ying shook his head. Those low level thugs would never be able to harm him. It was not like he had to hide his identity here anymore.

Yu Yan stepped forward, wanting to hug him, but Long Ying raised his hand.

"I'll take a bath first."

"Why?"

"I'm dirty." Long Ying pursed his lips. The blood stain didn't reach him but the smell was still lingering on his body because he was present there. He didn't want Yu Yan to be affected by the smell at all. In his opinion, Yu Yan should stay away from the underworld matter and let him be the one to deal with it all.

Yu Yan pursed her lips and pushed his hand away before throwing her body on Long Ying, embracing him. She could faintly sense the lingering smell of blood but she didn't care about it at all.

"You're not dirty at all."

"Yan'er…"

"It's not like you have blood splashed on your clothes and it's good that you're not wounded at all," Yu Yan blabbered. The warmth from Long Ying's body seeped out from the thin layer of clothing, allowing her to sense it. The warmth belonging to a life person.

He's still alive and well.

Long Ying stiffened and sighed. He really couldn't defeat her. Slowly, he reached out his hand and lightly caressed his woman's hair and hugged her tightly. Her small body was completely enveloped in his embrace.

He knew that he would be arriving late, which was why he left a message to Auntie Yun to let Yu Yan slept first. But this little woman didn't sleep and end up waiting for him even though it was already 2 AM in the morning. He didn't know what his feelings right now were, but he really wanted to coax her and pamper her.

"Yan'er."

"Yes?"

"I'll be going home late a lot in the future because there might be some matters that can only be done when it's night time. I don't want you to be worried about me so much and just go to sleep first." Long Ying's eyes narrowed.

As the Dragon Clan's head, an organization that was partially in the dark, it was impossible for him to finish all the dealings at day. There were some matters that could only be done when it was night time, under the cover of darkness because it was more convenient.

If he let his little woman waited for him all time long, he was sure that she would get sick sooner or later. His heart wouldn't be able to take it if his woman were to get sick because of him.

"But what if something happens to you?" Yu Yan looked up and pursed her lips.

Her sight looking like this was extremely cute and Long Ying felt that his self-control was severely tested right now. "Silly girl, even if you stay up, what do you actually want to do? You should rest and take care of your body well."

Yu Yan poked Long Ying's stomach. "Are you saying that I should just be a flower vase."

Long Ying: "…" that was a bit too extreme, but well, he couldn't really expect Yu Yan to fight against those thugs, right? In High School, he still allowed Yu Yan to fight because they were only fighting some bullies who were only students. They were all just some brats who couldn't fight well, so it was fine.

But now… he didn't want to put Yu Yan's life in danger.

"Yan'er."

"I want to be a wife who can support you, Ying and not just stay at the back." Yu Yan looked at Long Ying seriously.

Seeing his wife's expression, Long Ying was silent for a while.. "I want to kiss you, Yan'er."
