Chapter 432 - Conversation, Contemplation
At this time, Helian Yi held onto Mo Youyou’s arm tightly, not willing to let go, as if he was holding onto a treasure. He even felt that searching for someone was too simple and it even made him uneasy.
Was it a dream? No! A voice in the depths of Helian Yi’s heart kept reminding him, “This is not a dream!”
He pursed his lips and smiled. That smile was like the twinkling light of a clear spring, intoxicating and pleasing to the eyes.
That pair of deep eyes were filled with Mo Youyou. After a long while, Helian Yi’s low voice sounded again, “Have you seen enough?”
Mo Youyou abruptly retracted her gaze, and her heart thumped and throbbed. Reason told her that she had to calm herself down now. Reason told her that she couldn’t cry anymore. However, in front of this arrogant man, how could she still have a shred of reason? All reason vanished into nothingness in front of this man.
Just as he was in a daze, his cold fingers lightly caressed Mo Youyou’s face. Those burning tears were quickly wiped away, and there was less water on her face. Helian Yi said to Mo Youyou unhappily, “Woman, you are not allowed to cry anymore!”
Mo Youyou took a deep breath and continued to sob non-stop. After a while, she finally recovered. Helian Yi wasn’t in a hurry either. He stared fixedly at her, watching her emotions, that had been agitated from before, until now, slowly calm down.
Could Helian Yi say that he was even more nervous and excited than this woman? No! He was, after all, a stately Prince Jing. Now that he was the emperor of the entire Ming You Kingdom, his nervousness had long been concealed. However, he didn’t mind letting his woman know how much he missed her now.
Although the action of forcefully pulling Mo Youyou into her embrace seemed crude, it was actually exceptionally gentle.
Mo Youyou was extremely frightened by Helian Yi’s actions, she instinctively extended her hand to protect her stomach, and then she leaned towards Helian Yi’s chest.
Seeing that Mo Youyou was so concerned about the little thing in her stomach, all of the haze that Helian Yi had felt these days disappeared as a result of seeing Mo Youyou, and also because of the anxious actions of her protector.
He glanced at the little woman in his arms, lightly pecked her hair, and said gently,
“How have you been these past few days?”
This was the question that Helian Yi wanted to ask the most, and was also the reason why he had come all the way here. He thought for a long time before organizing his thoughts. He wanted to ask if she had thought of him every single day for the past six months. He didn’t dare to ask, as he was afraid that if he spoke, this little woman would be sad, sad, and reveal a look of despair and disappointment.
He knew that the fault lay with him. He had been too careless and failed to accompany her for the most important half a year. He didn’t even dare to imagine how this little girl had been able to survive. Therefore, Helian Yi only asked one sentence out of a thousand words.
Hearing Helian Yi’s question, Mo Youyou was obviously startled for a moment. A hint of disappointment flashed through her eyes, but she quickly recovered.
How was it? She didn’t know how she had endured these past few days. Everyday, she would wonder what this cold and proud man wanted to talk to her about. Every time she was bullied by the guests, she would wonder if he would immediately appear in front of her and deal with all the people who bullied her! Every night, she would lose sleep. She wanted to see why he still hadn’t come to find her after half a year because he remembered her.
She was thinking way too much, and unknowingly, her tears once again fell like rain, Mo Youyou lowered his head, unwilling to let Helian Yi see his miserable state. After all, she was a proud woman, too, and she didn’t want to put on airs in front of him. However, she wanted to cuddle up in his arms and tell him all the grievances she had suffered in the past few days.
A wave of warmth spread out from Helian Yi’s chest, and his heart fiercely twitched as Mo Youyou’s tears pierced into his chest like many sharp swords.
What had she experienced to cause her to cry in such an aggrieved manner? His heart felt like it was being consumed by a huge fire, and he was in so much pain that he couldn’t breathe. Helian Yi’s Adam’s apple rolled and he lowered his eyes to look at Mo Youyou. His ice-cold lips fell on Mo Youyou’s eyes and kissed that warm, faint salty lips.
His deep voice echoed in her ears:
“Don’t cry. If you feel wronged, you have to vent your anger on me!” No tears! Don’t cry! Did you hear that? ”
Hearing the man’s overbearing words, Mo Youyou’s heart that had been enduring for a long time suddenly erupted like a volcano. She clenched her fists tightly and fiercely punched towards Helian Yi’s chest.
Until Mo Youyou got tired of fighting, Helian Yi protected him in his arms, and carefully wrapped Mo Youyou’s pair of small hands with it. He said to her softly,
“Alright, stop hitting him. If you continue, your hands will be crippled.” If you still haven’t vented your anger, then tell Qian Bi to come and fight for you. I’ll take it! ”
Hearing Helian Yi’s words, Mo Youyou fiercely lifted her eyes, her clear eyes met Helian Yi’s profound eyes, and after a moment, she opened her mouth and replied.
“You knew that I was unwilling, yet you deliberately said those words to provoke me.”
Helian Yi hugged Mo Youyou tightly in his embrace, “What I said was all true, I didn’t provoke you.”
Hearing that, Mo Youyou’s heart became a bit more at ease. She could not help but lower her head and no longer look at Helian Yi, but forced her to look at him face to face.
“Youyou, look at me!”
Mo Youyou looked up and did not say a word.
“You being taken away by Nangong Nuo was due to my incompetence and it was due to me not protecting you properly. For this, I blame myself for a long time, no you days, every night I stood awake in front of the window, that kind of loneliness I would never want to experience again.
Finally, I got your news. Finding you turned out to be a laughable joke. That woman had such a similar appearance to you, yet I thought of her as you. I didn’t hesitate to spend half a year to help her regain her memories. Maybe it was because I cared too much about you that I neglected your habits, your little actions.
At that time, I had always felt that I was unable to approach her and I had also rejected her advances. However, I had never thought that there would actually be a woman in this world who looked exactly like you. ”
After saying that, Mo Youyou’s eyes clearly flashed, she wanted to speak, but Helian Yi did not give her the chance to do so.
Helian Yi continued, “It was only a few days ago when I suddenly realised that she was not you, and you did not know that my mistake delayed my mood when I was looking for you. At that time, I really had a desperate desire to destroy the world. That unprecedented fear, that fear almost swallowed up the last bit of my mind. Even at that moment, I wanted to strangle the woman who had deceived me. I was afraid of being delayed for half a year. I will lose you and never see you again. ”
Tears, drop by drop, fell on the back of Mo Youyou’s hand, and that burning heat almost burned Mo Youyou’s heart. Her eyes felt sore and her throat was stuffed. She looked at an arrogant man crying in front of he
