Chapter 943: What’s Going On?
If last night was a half-awake, half-dreaming imagination, then the clear and real feelings now have driven Han Siqu completely crazy, no longer caring whether it was really a dream and fought another spirited battle.
Su Yaogeng didn’t even bother to give him a glance. Although cultivators really have great stamina, and she has always maintained her body well, she is ultimately... a first-timer.
Han Siqu was so excited and thrilled that he couldn’t contain himself, showing no sign of fatigue, holding the already sleepy Su Yaogeng who could barely lift her eyelids, and cautiously probing: "Yaoyao, this, what, what’s going on..."
They have been married for so many years, and now they have done all the things that should be done. This long-awaited bridal chamber after more than twenty years has finally reached perfection. All of Su Yaogeng’s unease and slight uncertainty evaporated after this night, as if the barrier between her and Han Siqu had completely disappeared. There was a natural sense of dependence and mutual possession between them.
So if it were the previous Su Yaogeng, she probably wouldn’t be able to talk about this in front of a man, which is why she hadn’t the courage to tell Han Siqu the truth even after sharing a bed for days. Now, after such a night and experiencing the beautiful morning in a fully conscious state, her mood suddenly relaxed.
"Do you, do you still remember five years ago when you and Jing’er secretly listened in?" Su Yaogeng asked lazily.
"Of course I remember. If Jing’er hadn’t taken me to listen, I wouldn’t have known that you were carrying such a heavy secret in your heart, nor would I have known how much pain you have silently endured over the years. Therefore, I was more determined to change myself, to start over, so that I could protect you and be worthy to stand by your side." Although at the time he had indeed decided that as long as she didn’t stay with Han Si Que, he would never let go, he still harbored doubts. It was only after overhearing her conversation with Han Si Que that he realized that everything she did, including forcing him, was out of necessity.
She was so deeply hurt, maybe it became hard for her to trust anyone again, which is why she didn’t dare give him even a slight chance. She must have been deeply afraid, after being abandoned by Han Si Que like that, her heart probably truly grew cold and died, not daring to trust again.
He truly felt greatly pained, pained for her who appeared so lofty and proud yet harbored such heartrending suppressions.
So he swore at that moment, as long as he had a chance, a chance to return to her side, a chance to love her again, he would carefully protect her and never let her suffer the slightest grievance.
"After you left, Jing’er confessed to me about secretly listening, but she didn’t tell me that you also listened in." Thinking about this event, Su Yaogeng couldn’t help but humph; it was clear that the father and daughter seemed unrelated yet shared such an uncanny tacit understanding, a friendship not usually seen in daily life.
"Yaoyao, it’s my fault, my fault. Don’t be angry, don’t be angry..." Han Siqu hurriedly approached to apologize.
