Chapter 55 - It Hurts!

Yu Yan was stunned. She looked at Long Ying with bewildered expression.

Why did he suddenly say that?

She didn't do anything to turn his switch on, right?

But before she could ask, Long Ying had already leaned in and locked her lips in a kiss. This would be the first time she ever kissed Long Ying and she could faintly smell tobacco from his kiss. Did he smoke before he come here?

The kiss only lasted for a moment before Long Ying retracted back. He looked at his woman and felt that he wanted more…

But the lingering smell of blood told him that he really needed to take a bath and it was already late at night. He shouldn't abuse his little wife at such time when she was definitely tired after the long journey.

"Long Ying!"

"Be a good girl and sleep first next time, ok?"

Yu Yan pursed her lips. "But…"

"Think about it first. I'll take a bath." Long Ying pushed her back a bit carefully before he took his clothes and headed to the bathroom. He really need a cold bath before he lost control of himself.

Left in the room, Yu Yan walked to the bed and sat down. She had been thinking about this from the very moment she found out that Long Ying was actually part of the Dragon Clan. When she searched for them, she was only looking for a way to deal with her family because they had continuously disturbing her life.

But meeting with Long Ying caused her past feelings and memories to come flooding again. It made her wanted to know him more and at the same time wondered whether having a relationship him would work or not.

She already had two failed relationships before this.

So saying that she was confident would be a complete lie.

And as she got closer to him and knew more of his work in the underworld, she came to understand more and more what kind of dangerous life he had. For someone like Long Ying, death had become so common to the point that it was something that he could encounter almost every single day.

Today clearly gave her the clearest picture with him coming with lingering smell of blood. While it was not his, there might be a time in the future when it would be his instead of other people.

The thought terrified Yu Yan.

She didn't want Long Ying to be hurt at all. But in this kind of world, would it be possible?

When Long Ying walked out of the bathroom, all clean, the sight he saw was his little wife sitting at the side of the bed, pondering. He slowly made his way to her and patted her soft hair.

"Have you made your mind?"

"Ying, have you been part of Dragon Clan from a long time?" Yu Yan asked after a while.

Long Ying narrowed his eyes. "Yes."

"How dangerous will your mission be?"

"I have to deal with terrorist, some hidden boss, and also some crazy rich guy who have private army," Long Ying easily listed out some people whom he had made deal in the past. It was not really a glorious matter, but he didn't really want to hide it from Yu Yan. She had the right to know what he was doing since she's his wife.

Yu Yan took a deep breath. She looked at Long Ying with determination flashed within his eyes. "Taught me martial arts."

"What?"

"I'm sure you hear what I said. Teach me martial arts, Long Ying."

Long Ying furrowed his brows. Yu Yan participated in gymnastic when she was young and also knew how to dance because it was required. It meant that her body was quite flexible. But martial arts required even more foundation than that.

She was already 26 years old, the same age as him. At this age, it was already impossible for her to start learning martial arts and be an expert. The golden age for her to start learning had long passed.

"You won't be able to become an expert because you're already late in learning martial arts." Long Ying looked at Yu Yan deeply.

"As long as I can protect myself, it'll be good enough. I don't want to be your burden and just be a flower vase that you need to protect all the time." Yu Yan looked at Long Ying seriously.

Honestly, Long Ying would not mind even if he had to protect Yu Yan forever. After all, he didn't really wish for her to have a hand in this dirty business. But if she really wanted to participate in it…

"Alright, come over here."

"Yes?"

"I need to check your muscle to determine the training you need."

"Ok?" Yu Yan stood up and Long Ying reached out his hand and tried to test her arms and legs. When his fingers pinched her, Yu Yan could feel pain swelling on her muscles.

"It hurts…" Yu Yan whimpered.

Long Ying held her carefully. "Don't move… it's just for a bit."

Gritting her teeth, Yu Yan tried to stay still but she still couldn't understand how his pinch could make her hurt so much. Tears were rolling out of her ears as she tried to withstand the pain. By the time she thought that she would pass out, Long Ying stopped.

He pulled her to his embrace and carefully wiped her tears. "If you want to start learning martial arts, it'll hurt even more than that."

Hurt even more?

Yu Yan was shocked. Was it really that hard to learn martial arts? But seeing the expression on Long Ying's face, she knew that he was not lying. With gritted teeth, Yu Yan nodded. "I understand."

"Your muscle is not that bad but it'll be hard for you to become an expert in martial arts because you start your training late. It's good that you have some foundation, so you're quite flexible." Long Ying told her the result of his probing just now.

Yu Yan nodded and sighed. Did it mean that she would be tortured each day now that she wanted to start learning martial arts?
