"This is my past. Facing me like this, do you still insist on accepting me?" Qin Wu lowered his eyes. Although he felt bitter in his heart, his heart was extremely calm.
Mu Qianxue remained silent, not uttering a single word from the beginning to the end. Only, the fear and unease in her heart had gradually disappeared, replacing it was her calmness and rationality, as well as her sympathy for Qin Wu.
He was a soldier with a bright future, an honorable and loyal soldier. He used his life to protect the country and his people that he loved deeply, to protect the happy lives of most of the ordinary people like himself. But what did he get in the end? Abandon? Betrayal?
Mu Qianxue couldn't imagine the huge blow Qin Wu's heart took when he found out about that news. She wasn't sure what this so-called great calamity was, but she could understand Qin Wu's indignation, pain, and helplessness at that time.
She suddenly felt that she and Qin Wu were very similar. She had been betrayed by the Mu Clan. She had been betrayed by what she once thought was this world's most compassionate and greatest biological father. Qin Wu was the same as well. He was betrayed by the person he loved the most and wanted to protect the most.
The only difference between the two was that she hadn't killed anyone, and he had killed too many people.
However, at the very least, she still had Mu Qianjun, the little sister that was the only family she had left in this world. As for Qin Wu, his brothers had died for him, and he, who was originally an orphan, had already lost everything.
At this moment, Mu Qianxue no longer avoided Qin Wu's eyes. Even if the man in front of her was covered in blood and was an extremely dangerous fellow, in her eyes, he was still her family. He was using his life to protect her sister, so what qualifications did she have to betray him? Wasn't that the same as those superior cultivators who were lofty with only the word 'power' in their eyes?
"Yes, I've said it before. You are our family." Mu Qianxue looked at Qin Wu calmly, then raised her head and said, "You can risk your life to protect me and Little Lord, and treat us as family. Why would Little Jun and I shrink back because of these external factors? Regardless of whether you are a homicidal maniac or someone with another identity, you are still our close relative and it has nothing to do with your identity. It's just because you are Qin Wu, my fake husband, Little Jun's fake brother-in-law. "
In that instant, Qin Wu's heart felt as though it was on fire. The blood in his entire body was boiling.
With a face full of disbelief, he looked at Mu Qianxue and his voice trembled slightly, "Say, even if this is the case, you still want to accept me?"
"Yes." Mu Qianxue nodded. She was very calm.
"Why?" Qin Wu was very moved, but he was even more puzzled: "Why? I am unforgivable, and you will accept anyone who has committed an unpardonable crime? Aren't you afraid of ruining everything you have now because of me? "
"Why should I be afraid?" Mu Qianxue asked in reply, "You aren't even afraid, why must I be? Didn't you say that you would spare no effort to protect me and Little Jun with your life? In that case, why should we be afraid? "
Yes, why should I be afraid? Could it be that he couldn't protect them? No, I can do it, I can definitely protect them from harm, I definitely won't let those tragedies happen again! Absolutely!
"Thank you." Qin Wu put down his bowl and chopsticks as he spoke sincerely.
"There's no need," Mu Qianxue said indifferently. "Little Jun and I are not people who don't know what's good for us. We all understand that there's no need to thank our families."
Qin Wu smiled, he hesitated for a moment before asking with a profound tone, "Actually, I want to know, aren't you afraid of me?"
This was the thing that Qin Wu was most worried about. After all, his identity and experience was too special. This kind of him, even Bai Xiaochun, this kind of well-trained Embroidered Uniform Guard, would feel fear when they first met each other. Even talking would depend on his expression, let alone the ordinary Mu Qianxue. In his heart, he was definitely still afraid of him.
The spoon that Mu Qianxue used to scoop up the soup suddenly stiffened but it only lasted an instant as it quickly returned to its original state.
After scooping up the soup, Mu Qianxue wasn't in a hurry to drink it. Instead, she put the bowl on the side to dry, and stared straight at Qin Wu: "Will you hurt me the same way you did with Wanfei and the rest?"
"No!" They would rather die than do it! " Qin Wu did not hesitate at all. Instead, he looked Mu Qianxue in the eye.
Mu Qianxue smiled. Even though it was only for an instant, it was a genuine smile.
This was probably the first time Qin Wu had seen Mu Qianxue smile from the bottom of her heart. Even if it was only a light smile, it was only for a blink of an eye, but Qin Hao had to admit that the Mu Qianxue who revealed a smile was really beautiful, so beautiful that it melted her heart.
"Then why should I be afraid of you?" Mu Qianxue softly said, "That's right. You may have killed a lot of people, but why did you do it? Your comrades, your brothers, and little Jun. Why should I be afraid of you like this? I have always been a realist, not a Virgin, and I don't care about those meaningless right and wrong. All I need to know is that you are sincere towards me and Little Jun, and that everything else has nothing to do with us. "
Was Mu Qianxue selfish? As she said, she was realistic and selfish. However, how many people in this world could be so selfless? Those were Saints, figures that existed within illusions. Everyone had their own ways of living, and no one had ever set a rule that she, Mu Qianxue, must have a heart of the world, a heart of justice, and then send a murderer like Qin Wu to the police station.
Moreover, even the Great Ancestor had once said: Everyone should not be killed by the heavens or by the earth! Even a great being like the Great Ancestor had a selfish side to him. She, Mu Qianxue, was just an ordinary woman who had a little money, so why couldn't she be selfish? She was truly a scoundrel. Of those people who were keyboarders on the internet, how many of them were not selfish people?
Qin Wu was willing to protect her and Little Jun, willing to let them depend on him, willing to let them depend on him, and truly treat them well. Why not accept this man who was not related by blood, but was more like a relative than those who shared the same surname and blood.
As she spoke to here, Mu Qianxue paused for a moment, as her tone rapidly changed, "However, I still hope that you will be able to truly integrate into the lives of ordinary people. This isn't the kind of life Little Jun and I want, so … "
"I understand!" "Don't worry, in the future, I will do my best to restrain myself. I won't be that impulsive anymore. Sense and calmness, I will definitely accomplish it."
After receiving the call, Qin Wu got up and wiped his mouth: "I want to go out for a trip. Wan Fei is dead, and the fight between us and Wan Xiong is already at death's door. "But don't worry, I will carefully consider it and deal with it. I won't let it affect our peaceful lives."
"Be careful, Little Jun and I will wait for your return."
"Don't worry, the food you made is so delicious, how can it be enough for one meal?" I want to eat for the rest of my life. " Qin Wu laughed as he walked out of the room.
