Chapter 1105: Close and far
Since they had no time left to visit the palace anymore, they simply decided to walk around the area, have dinner and then head back to the hotel. The buzz of tourists and families added to the lively atmosphere.
Jin took a peek at Alix who looked to be observing the different stalls around her. He wasn’t sure if she was feeling truly happy or holding back her unease after reading Guiying’s book. The myriad of expressions on her face throughout the time had made it evident how the book had affected her.
His hands restlessly twitched inside his pockets for sometime after which he softly said, "I think...you should tell her."
Alix paused for only half a moment before she realized what he was talking about.
"You also miss her right?"
She thought about it and somewhere in a tiny corner of her heart, she agreed. Yating had now replaced her as Guiying’s editor but at times...she wished she could go back to those times again where she helped craft her fantasy world. Those were the simple times where she felt she could forget about her revenge from the Liu family for a while and just live in the present. Guiying was awkward and clumsy but equally sincere and dedicated. It was fun to work with her.
Jin was prepared for her silence but to his surprise she said, "She doesn’t need me."
He blinked twice. "She does. I need you too. I cannot live without you."
She stopped and met his gaze that looked extremely serious.
"That’s because we are married."
"I don’t think that matters. Naturally, my love for you and her love for you is totally different but it doesn’t change the fact that we love you in our own way - which is also why we need you in our own way. You have different roles in our lives and needless to say, both are important and precious to us."
Important and precious...
