Chapter 363 - Undying Love

If this trip to this foreign land was not gravely important, he wouldn't have left her all alone there. But he knew there were people who would look after her until he was busy with his own personal mission. 

Plus, his wife was more than capable of taking care of herself and everyone. 

At this time, he had to think about himself first. For the first time in years, he was ready to seek answers to the questions that had always haunted him. He had always wondered why he was treated differently in the family but never dared to find the answers. It wasn't because he didn't care but because he was afraid. He was afraid that many things would change if ever tried to find them. 

As a kid and later as a teenager, he was always afraid of changes in his life. It was only the arrival of his Zhenyi in his life that changed his point of view. She came to his life like a hurricane and messed with every stupid resolve of his. 

"Zhenyi," He said her name in his soft and raspy voice, sending tingling feelings to Zhenyi. "Can I ever be angry with you? Sure, my wife is mean, petty, childish, hell even stubborn but she is still my wife. The wife I loved more than anyone else. "

"You dare call me all the bad names?" Zhenyi sobbed and laughed simultaneously. "Come home once and see how I will beat you." 

"Ah, I am all yours when I reach you," Long Jie grinned."You can do everything for me. Even use those handcuffs this time."

"You wicked man, you cheated me that time too. I'd never fall for the words," Zhenyi replied angrily.

Long Jie let out a hearty laugh. "I still think you look ravishing with those handcuffs." 

"Shameless man!!"

"Only for you." 

"I will see how you will try to be shameless for anyone other than me," Zhenyi's tone was rather overbearing but he seemed to have loved it. Oh God, he loved everything about her, even her vices. 

Long Jie once again laughed while imagining his dangerous wife sitting at home. 

"Jie?"

"Hmm?"

"When will you be back?" She asked in almost a whisper. 

"Soon," he replied. 

"You will not tell me where you are?" Zhenyi questioned him. 

Long Jie raised his brow. "What makes my Cat eyes think that?"

"You would have told me until now where you are if you really wanted to tell me," Zhenyi said. "But don't worry, I will not force you. I will wait until you are ready to tell me."

See, that's why he loved her too much. 

"Did I ever tell you how much I love you?" He suddenly said. No, it was not sudden, he had always known it. It was just that at this moment, his love for her was overflowing. If he could, he would have tightly hugged her in his arms. 

His cat eyes had matured. 

"No, you didn't, " Zhenyi replied. "But you can tell me now. I have all the time in the world to hear you confessing your undying love to me." 

"Undying indeed," He said with a silly smile. 

…

"Do you want to say something to me?" Long Jie asked his silent wife. After talking nonstop for several minutes, she was now as calm as a turbulent sea. However, as he said, he could feel those turbulent winds raging inside her heart. Call it an intuition or anything else but he could feel that something was troubling her. 

"No," Zhenyi told him immediately. Her quick reply was rather suspicious to him. 

Long Jie raised his brow. "Fine. You know where to come if you want to talk to someone." 

"Oh, yeah...that's why I'm going to Xin Mansion and after that, I will have brunch with Esma, "Zhenyi nonchalantly said. 

"Zhenyi?" His voice was tight. It had a tinge of warning in it. "Stop trying to change the course of conversation. You know I don't like it when you try to hide something from me. Didn't we decide on being transparent to each other all the time?"

"But didn't you just say that I know where to come if I want to talk to someone," Zhenyi innocently said? 

"And where will you go?" Long Jie asked him with the same warning tone. 

"Obviously to you," Zhenyi told him."My dear husband, how can I go to anyone else when all the roads of my fate and heart lead to you? Even if I forget for a moment to come to you, my heart always knows." 

Long Jie was struck shocked when his wife completed the sentence. Don't mind him. It was just that they weren't an excessive PDA kind of couple. They weren't even very vocal with their feelings. It was only once in a Blue Moon when his wife would try to be as cringy as now with her words. But did he find it weird? 

No, he felt so happy that if his subordinates weren't there, he would have done a happy dance. But you see, he had to take care of his image too sometimes. 

"Babe, why aren't you saying anything?" Zhenyi again said. 

"Whoever said distance makes the heart go fonder was right… my wife learned the skill of words, it seems," Long Jie said to her. He heaved out a long, suffering sigh before saying, "Why are you making it difficult for me to stay away from you." 

A rosy tint covered Zhenyi's face and she had to hide it with her hand. She hit her head to remind her that she was still driving. 

"Cat eyes, it looks like I have to go," Long Jie reminded her. 

"Ah, it's okay. Finish your task. I will wait for you home, "Zhenyi said with a smile. She was a bit reluctant to cut the call but she had to. Before disconnecting the call, she didn't forget to whisper," I love you, Jie." 

Long Jie looked at his phone in his hand with a strange look before sighing. He turned to look at his men and asked, "What's the position?"

"We found the location, sir. We wouldn't have been able to come back safely if we went deeper," His subordinate said. "Someone anonymously helped in sharing the correct location." 

"Of course, she did," Long Jie scoffed before walking ahead. 

'If you think I will forgive you so soon, then you have another thing coming , Cia.'
