Chapter 950 What Did Xiao Hei and Old Jin See? (2)
After a long pause, Gu Yelin whispered.
An Yiqing started, smiled bitterly, opened her mouth but couldn’t voice the apology in her heart.
"There’s no need to say sorry between you and me. I know you would do everything for your second brother, and I would do the same if I were in your shoes. But I hope that whatever choices you make in the future, you must tell me. At the very least, I need to know how to save you."
Gu Yelin paused, then squeezed the hands he was holding a little tighter, drawing her even closer into his embrace.
"I can’t bear the days without you. I will only allow you to keep this one secret from me."
Leaning against Gu Yelin’s chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, An Yiqing felt the intense unease radiating from his resilient heart. She reached out and hugged his neck tightly, pressing her face into his neck and using her own warmth to convey her decision.
They were both high-ranking individuals, with enemies appearing at any moment. Perhaps in the next second, they would face life-threatening dangers. An Yiqing knew she couldn’t promise she wouldn’t face danger again, but she would fight with all her might to preserve her own life. Even if it was just a single breath remaining, that was better than letting this man never see her again. Their unspoken understanding didn’t need to be voiced; a single look or gesture was enough for them to feel it. To stay with the ones they loved, they both strove to become stronger, to protect those around them with all their power.
Taking a deep breath, An Yiqing slowly closed her eyes in Gu Yelin’s arms.
Hoping that soon they could eliminate all their enemies and indulge only in the ordinary joys and household trivialities.
At the An Family Mansion, the Aston Martin hadn’t arrived yet when Xiao Hei and Old Jin, like a bolt of lightning, dashed down from the second-floor balcony.
"Woof! Master! Xiao Hei missed you so much!" Xiao Hei’s round eyes were filled with joy, his tail blurring into a shadow as he excitedly circled in front of the car.
