Arc 3 Chapter 165: Scheming Lord, Cooperate a Bit (52)
"Luo Liyan, are you really that afraid of me?" Weichi Che raised an eyebrow cradling her in his arms and leisurely heading back to their bedroom.
Luo Liyan rested her head softly against Weichi Che's chest but she didn't answer his question. Instead she secretly asked Number 666 for advice.
"Number 666 can we really save Elder Physician Li's entire family of 43 people?"
"It's possible. It's been less than half an incense stick's time since General's orders. We can certainly save them," Number 666 confidently replied, finally relieving Luo Liyan's anxiety.
Though she had no desire for sleep, she didn't know how to face this Weichi Che. Luo Liyan closed her eyes slowly trying to calm her racing heart.
Weichi Che gently laid the small figure in his arms on the bed. He then removed her cloak and shoes before sitting at the edge of the bed gazing at her with her eyelashes trembling slightly.
His long jade-like fingers traced her soft cheek lightly grazing the velvety skin beneath her chin. He playfully caressed it like he was teasing a cat making Luo Liyan unconsciously nudge against his touch.
She then heard a deep throaty laugh in her ear.
She instinctively opened her eyes, her little face blushed.
"What's wrong? Do you want to see me?" Weichi Che took off his outer robe and tossed it aside, then lifted the blanket and got into bed.
"What are you trying to do now?" Luo Liyan was wary as she scooted away but was still embraced by Weichi Che.
"Don't worry. I won't tease you tonight." Weichi Che kissed her smooth forehead, extinguished the candles on the candelabra.
Luo Liyan stared at the canopy above feeling a sense of emptiness in her heart.
After a while she started to feel drowsy. She let out a long sigh and closed her eyes slowly.
"Luo Liyan do you prefer those refined but deceptive gentlemen?" Weichi Che's deep low voice sounded in the darkness, making it feel even more desolate.
Luo Liyan's heart skipped a beat but keeping her drowsiness at bay she murmured back "I prefer real gentlemen."
"Well then..." Weichi Che hesitated for a moment. "You probably don't like people like me, do you?"
It's not that she doesn't like him. She's just afraid of him.
Luo Liyan silently answered in her heart but she couldn't dare to speak it out loud.
Weichi Che waited for a long time without hearing her response. He gently stroked her soft neck and caressed it lightly.
"Have you ever regretted saving me that year?"
In the dark his clear eyes were filled with intense conflict and murderous intent.
But Luo Liyan who was nestled in his arms was tired and she didn't notice the turmoil within him. Instead she felt comfortable.
Her fluffy little head nuzzled against his chest and she made a satisfied purring sound.
"No, no matter how you change, I would have saved you back then. Your life belongs to me and I should bear your karmic debt."
Her voice was soft and filled with exhaustion but her words were undeniable.
"Hehe..."
Weichi Che's hand paused for a moment before he let out a reluctant chuckle.
So be it. It seems that this lifetime he is destined to be wholly captivated by her.
Since she likes those full of moral righteousness and the facade of a gentleman, he will make sure that such people will never appear in front of her.
Just as she said, no matter what he becomes, she has accepted him and can only accept him.
