Chapter 860 - 880: Keep You by My Side Forever
Who knows what will happen then? Maybe when her belly starts growing, Xiaonuan will increasingly like the child, and gradually develop feelings for him too.
After all, blood is thicker than water. No matter how heartless this woman is, surely she wouldn’t really bear to let her child be born without a father!
Xia Xiaonuan breathed a sigh of relief.
"If I want to leave in six months, you must let me go."
Situ Yan took a deep breath, trying to contain himself.
"Okay! I promise you!"
Finally, Xia Xiaonuan smiled.
Situ Yan reached out and pinched her nose hard.
"You stubborn woman, one day, I will make you completely fall in love with me, unable to extricate yourself!"
Xia Xiaonuan frowned from his pinch.
"I’m tired, I want to sleep now; you should rest too." He had just recovered from his injury, and she felt sorry to have him always watch over her.
Situ Yan said, "Alright, sleep now, once you’re asleep, I’ll leave."
Xia Xiaonuan nodded.
Under Situ Yan’s watch, she slowly closed her eyes.
Situ Yan sat by the bed, looking at the person lying there.
Her skin was snow-white, her black hair made her appear even more delicate and beautiful. Her brows were like distant mountains, her face slightly tilted; perhaps because her body was still very weak, she fell asleep shortly after lying down, with fine beads of sweat on her forehead.
Situ Yan stared at her, momentarily dazed.
He had never tried to look at a girl so seriously before. In fact, throughout these years, running the entire Lot empire, possessing supreme status, countless wealth— even beauties.
Women have passed by him, countless.
Some were just for show, others he casually played with, and some were merely to satisfy biological needs.
Those women, essentially, if there’s any utility value left, otherwise they’d be discarded after use.
There’s no second glance at all.
He wouldn’t seriously look at what those women actually look like.
But Xia Xiaonuan... was the first woman he treated this seriously.
Perhaps, initially, he never thought she was any different; at first, she was the same as other women in his eyes.
But gradually, unknowingly, she broke into his heart without leaving room for resistance, filling his heart completely.
So much so that, when he later realized, he was shocked to discover he could actually treat a woman like this.
It was no longer just about wanting to possess her, but about wanting to keep her by his side forever, always watching over her.
When she was bullied, he realized his heart hurt that much, was so desperate. It was a kind of despair more terrifying than death.
It reminded him of his mother; back then, upon learning of his mother’s passing, he felt that way.
As if the whole world was about to be destroyed.
When Xia Xiaonuan was "raped" by those few men, he felt that way.
So, he rushed up despite everything, even if they would really hack him to death, he wouldn’t hesitate to fight them desperately.
Just to prevent Xiaonuan from being harmed.
But... this little woman, she kept tugging at his heart time and again, causing him pain from which he couldn’t extricate himself.
When she said she wanted to leave in six months, he clearly felt a sudden inexplicable heartache.
Had he started fearing loss even before fully possessing her?
But... he would never let this happen.
