Chapter 375 - I Can’t Love You

Zheng Jing didn’t stop kissing her for a long time.

Their breaths mingled with each other and so did their heart beats.

He picked up Zheng Lun and went upstairs. He carried her into the bedroom and placed her on the bed.

Their eyes looked into each other and Zheng Lun started to blush. Yet she still mustered up her courage and looked directly into Zheng Jing’s eyes. She was panting and her fingers were trembling.

Zheng Jing’s heart ached as he stared at the woman whom he had been in love with for so long.

Zheng Lun, however, felt like she was floating in happiness. It had taken her just a kiss to understand how her brother felt.

But her heart hurt looking at the wounds on Zheng Jing’s face and body.

His face had bruises and the gauze had fallen off his ears, showing Zhao Anan’s teeth marks. His arms were also full of scratches and bruises.

Although he had wounds on the face, he still looked so handsome. His silhouette, the tall nose bridge as well as the sharp eyebrows made Zheng Lun feel heated.

She moved her fingers on his bronze face and asked softly, “Brother, does it still hurt?”

She didn’t ask him anything about the kiss or the reason for it. As long as Zheng Jing was willing to kiss her, she was happy.

She didn’t want to know the reason rather, she was scared to ask for it.

She was just very happy that her brother was within her reach.

Although she had no experience with kisses, yet she felt that Zheng Jing had just offered her, his first kiss.

He had been so impulsive that he kissed her without any restraints. He had even bitten her lips out of passion. He was not like the steady and firm Zheng Jing of everyday.

In her eyes, her brother was always steady and gentle. He had never been so out of control and passionate like this ever before.

As her soft hands moved over Zheng Jing’s face, he trembled.

He covered the little hand with his large hand. Then he closed his eyes and tried to capture her softness.

After a long while, he opened his eyes, took Zheng Lun’s hand and placed it on his lips and kissed it reverently.

“No, it doesn’t hurt, Seven, my heart does…”

Zheng Lun immediately covered his mouth and shook her head softly. “Brother, don’t say anything. I am very happy to be in this situation. I won’t ask for much, I only hope that I can see you and stay close to you.”

Zheng Jing moved her hand away. His eyes were full of intensity. That impulse had broken his self control which he had held onto for so long.

He lowered his head and held Zheng Lun’s face with his palms. Then he kissed her again.

His kiss was violent. It felt as if he had been waiting for too long to get her into his arms.

Zheng Lun closed her eyes and let her tongue tangle with his. She kissed him back as best as she could.

After a bit, she slipped her hand through Zheng Jings’s waist almost subconsciously, making him stiffen.

Zheng Jing stopped. But a second later, he kissed her again when he caught sight of her beautiful lips.

They had kissed so many times that Zheng Lun’s lips were already swelling up. Finally, he stopped unwillingly.

He took Zheng Lun’s hands and placed them on his chest, making her feel his throbbing heart.

He looked into her beautiful eyes and said hoarsely, “Seven, you are my sister and I am your brother. We will always be that. I can’t love you in this manner.”

“I am afraid that my love for you will end up being a tragedy. I am also afraid that this love won’t be able to stand the cruel knife of gossip.”

Zheng Lu knew what he meant.

If they were ever together, everyone would talk trash about them. They were siblings in everyone else’s eyes and even those who knew her true identity, regarded her as part of Family Zheng. It was impossible if a sister married her brother.

“Seven, I can’t marry you…”

Zheng Jing used all of his strength when he said these words. He looked agonized.

“But I promise that I will never marry anyone else as well. I will stay by your side. If one day, you meet someone you love, you can live your own life. If you don’t, I will stay by your side until we get old together, okay?”

A touch of joy flashed across Zheng Lun’s look. So her brother was not going to marry anyone? He was going to spend the entire life with her?

So what if they couldn’t get married? She had never expected that they would, never.

She had never thought about marrying anyone else. She was also selfish enough to want her brother not marrying anyone else, either.

If they couldn’t be a couple, then she could just stay by his side until they got old. As long as they could stay together, it would be fine.

But Zheng Lun immediately felt guilty after that thought.

Had she just ruined her brother’s chances of getting married ever?

He was the only son of Family Zheng and their mother was looking forward to seeing a grandchild since a long time. There would not be a child if he never got married.

Tears trickled down her cheek once again. Despite the pain in her heart, she still said firmly, “No, brother, you must get married. Accept Zhu Ruotong! She is a good girl, I know! I will not get jealous easily in the future! I am your sister and you are my brother. No one will replace you in my heart ever.”

Zheng Jing got startled. He had never expected that his sister had grown up so much within such a short period of time. She was tormented in her heart so much that she had come up with such a decision.

He kissed her forehead and said in a low voice, “Yes, no one will replace me. I am yours, and yours only…”

Zheng Jing didn’t contradict her statement about marrying Zhu Ruotong.

He had made up his mind that he was not going to marry anyone else apart from Zheng Lun.

Zheng Lun was the only one in his heart.

He had thought that marrying someone else would make Zheng Lun give him up. But what he discovered was that if he really married someone else, Zheng Lun would lose both her heart and life.

She loved him deep to the bone. What happened in the past few days made Zheng Jing understand that she would wither without him. She might even die.

He didn’t want anyone to touch Zheng Lun. Zheng Lun didn’t want any woman to touch him either!

What Mu Qing had said made him realize the truth.

He didn’t want to torment himself any more. Nor did he want to torment Zheng Lun. If they couldn’t be a couple, they would just be siblings!
