Chapter 952: A Match Made in Heaven, Kidnapped (1)
The atmosphere inside the room fell silent for a moment, and just when Mo Yan thought the man before her might mind, she was suddenly embraced by a pair of tender, large hands. The next moment, she found herself nestling in a broad chest as a man’s voice, full of contented sighs, came from above her head, "I’m glad you can protect yourself."
Mo Yan couldn’t believe it and lifted her head, staring at Xiao Ruiyuan’s smiling face, at a loss for words.
Xiao Ruiyuan only felt that the woman’s dazed look precisely poked a soft spot in his heart; he couldn’t help but reach out and gently stroke the back of her head, whispering, "You used to be too kind, so kind that you wouldn’t even retaliate against those who hurt you. I was always worried that you would get hurt. Now that I see you like this, I am relieved."
Mo Yan looked at the man, unable to utter a single word.
Having lived two lives, it was the first time she had calculated against another woman, even if that woman had schemed against her first. Doing such a thing for the first time always stirred up a mess of thoughts inside her, making her feel like she had become bad, malicious, no different from those who calculated against her, and she even worried that one day, she would become the very person she once despised.
However, the man’s words finally made her realize, she had not become bad or malicious; she was merely protecting herself. Only by safeguarding herself could the people who truly cared about her rest assured.
As he watched the woman gradually let go of her concerns, Xiao Ruiyuan continued, "I dove into battle at the age of thirteen, where on the battlefield swords and spears have no eyes. It’s either your death or mine. Over the years, countless enemies have fallen by my sword. If this is considered malicious, then I’ve been poisoned to the core. A poisonous husband and a poisonous wife — aren’t we a match made in heaven?"
