He held her tightly, yet she closed her eyes and didn’t move at all.
He had truly broken her heart.
The once bold, all-or-nothing Han Jing who loved him seed to have disappeared completely. Her calmness made him even more heartbroken, and he realized how foolish he had been.
He buried his head by her ear, his voice hoarse with a hint of pain: "Jing’er, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry..."
He whispered softly, repeating it three tis, yet it still seed insufficient.
Because he knew, no matter how many tis he said it, he couldn’t make up for the oppressive dull pain she endured during the days he deceived her.
Han Jing’s eyelids fluttered. It had been so many years since she had cried, yet a single tear silently slipped down from the corner of her eye.
There was a mont when she really didn’t want to care about anything anymore. She just wanted to hold him and say it’s okay, everything is okay.
But she was also afraid, if they faced life and death again, if they parted again, would he deceive her once more?
The deeper the love, the more one understands, that well-intentioned deception is the most tornting.
Amidst these wild thoughts, Han Jing fell asleep. When she woke up, Su Yu was already gone.
She pressed her forehead, the quilt was still warm, he must have just left not long ago.
Han Jing sat up, feeling a bit weary.
Just then, there was a knock at the door, followed by a series of hurried footsteps. Han Jing looked over, and Xiao Xue had already run around the screen to the bedside.
The little fellow looked at her with an accusing face: "Mother, did you make Father stand outside all night!"
Han Jing...
She made him stand outside all night? Hah, the quilt is still warm, isn’t it?!
Xiao Xue saw Han Jing silent, assud it was Han Jing’s fault, and continued, "I woke up early in the morning and saw Father standing outside. He greeted , said there were matters at Spirit Fla Sect and he went back first, and told to listen to you, he would see again in the afternoon."
Xiao Xue pouted, staring at Han Jing in displeasure: "Mother, even if Father made a mistake, but he knows he’s wrong, and he stood outside for a whole night. Can’t you forgive him?"
Han Jing fud internally. How long did he deceive her? Huh? Not counting before Xiao Xue was born, it had been five years. How long had they been married in total? He had lied to her for so long, even if he had his reasons, he still deceived her! So he stood for one night and she should forgive him? Oh damn! He slept in her bed all night, did he stand a silly night?!
Shalessly fooling the child!
Han Jing slandered in her heart, but she couldn’t tell Xiao Xue about Su Yu’s deception, for fear the little one would overthink.
She could only take a deep breath, suppress the blood about to gush out, and smile at Xiao Xue, "Didn’t you miss your grandmother a lot? We’ll... go back to Nanyao Country after breakfast. I’ll take you and your grandfather, and we’ll pick up grandmother, okay?"
"Okay, okay!" Xiao Xue imdiately cheered up, was about to turn and share the good news with his grandfather, but suddenly rembered that his mother hadn’t answered his question yet, so he quickly looked at Han Jing again, "Then has Mother forgiven Father?"
Han Jing...
"Xiao Xue, this matter, we’ll consider it after we return from Nanyao Country. We won’t take anyone else, you tell your grandfather, then bring Lianwu, we’ll sneak away! Alright?"
