6: You want to kill me? I'll hand you a knife.

Lin Wan only glanced at him before lowering her head guiltily.

Shen Mo Chi was very tall, about 185 cm. His posture was straight, and standing at the doorway, he enveloped the petite Lin Wan within his shadow.

He was wearing a black trench coat, still carrying a hint of the night's chill.

His sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, a high-bridged nose, and his handsome lips were pressed together tightly as he looked down, staring intently at her.

With just that one glance, he had already seen that her eyes were red!

Shen Mo Chi's heart sank, and he stepped into the room, closing the door.

Seeing that she was still standing motionless, he endured it again and again, but finally, he carefully held her in his arms.

He had expected to be met with violent struggles and words of disgust.

But the girl in his embrace was unusually docile, extremely well-behaved. She even buried her head into his chest.

Shen Mo Chi froze completely. The girl felt soft, carrying a light, elegant fragrance...

The tips of his ears turned slightly red.

But this wasn't right; it was very wrong.

Wanwan must have been wronged.

He raised a hand and stroked the top of her soft hair.

"What's wrong? The nanny said you came looking for me? I was originally planning to return tonight, but I couldn't get away. I've booked a flight for tomorrow morning. What happened? Hmm?"

Hearing his gentle voice, Lin Wan could no longer hold back her tears, and they streamed down, one by one.

Hearing her sobs, Shen Mo Chi became extremely flustered.

He sat down on the sofa, held her across his lap, and gently wiped away her tears.

"Wanwan, don't cry. I'm here. Did someone from your family bully you again? Tell me, and I'll deal with them."

At this point, Lin Wan understood everything.

The one he loved all along was her! It was just that every time he tried to get close, she pushed him a thousand miles away and hurt him unscrupulously.

Thinking of this, Lin Wan cried even more heartbrokenly.

Shen Mo Chi frowned slightly, looking down at her. Her full, rosy lips trembled slightly, her fair little face was covered in tear tracks, and her small nose was red from crying. Her clear, bright apricot eyes were filled with sadness, making him feel pity right to the core of his heart.

Shen Mo Chi held her tightly, heartbroken.

He just kept coaxing her, wiping away the flood of tears.

Nestled in the tall, warm embrace like a Child, Lin Wan's emotions completely collapsed.

After crying for a long time, she finally stopped.

Shen Mo Chi couldn't resist and kissed her swollen eyes.

"Are you done crying? Are you tired? Are you hungry?"

Lin Wan calmed down, feeling embarrassed and awkward. She didn't like her own overly sentimental appearance! It was so hard during the Apocalypse, yet she hadn't cried much then!

She tried to jump out of his arms, but Shen Mo Chi subconsciously held her tighter.

"I want to go wash my face."

The girl murmured, her voice nasal.

Shen Mo Chi stood up and carried her to the bathroom.

"I'll wipe it for Wanwan."

Spoiling her to an outrageous degree.

After wiping her face clean and coming out, Lin Wan's face was completely flushed.

However, she had no intention of backing down. Time was short; she had to cherish it. She needed a definite answer.

She stared intently into his clear eyes.

"Shen Mo Chi, do you like me?"

Shen Mo Chi's heart trembled, his deep eyes surging with emotion.

A few seconds later.

"Wanwan, I don't just like you; I love you."

The direct and passionate confession struck her heart heavily. Lin Wan stared blankly at him, and tears welled up in her eyes again.

"You're lying to me! If it were true, why didn't you tell me? Why were you so close to Lin Ran? The entire Capital City knows that what I, Lin Wan, hate most is Lin Ran and the people around her!"

Seeing her aggrieved and dissatisfied look, Shen Mo Chi's heart softened completely.

He picked her up once more and patiently explained:

"After many years of effort, I finally gained the ability to protect myself and the people I want to protect. When I heard you returned to the Capital City, I kept wanting to find you. But I heard you had a boyfriend at the time, and I was afraid of startling you by approaching suddenly. Coincidentally, Lin Ran had been pestering me those few days. I happened to overhear her say you were at home, so I went along with it, hoping to see you."

"Later, I realized you had a misunderstanding about me and wanted to find you to explain, but every time you saw me, you ran away. I thought you really detested me, especially since I knew you intensely disliked mistresses and their children, and I... I am an illegitimate Child..."

"So, I thought it was best to just quietly watch over you and not disturb you anymore. Wanwan, I only met with Lin Ran that one time. If it weren't for wanting to see you, I would have absolutely no contact with her!"

After listening, Lin Wan hit him twice crossly.

"The President of the prestigious Shen Corporation is actually this dense! Is this how you chase girls? Getting close to the person you hate the most—you deserve to be single!"

Shen Mo Chi looked at her fierce yet cute appearance, and his heart melted.

He covered her small hands, his eyes full of smiles.

"Yes, who told me that ever since I first saw Wanwan when I was eleven, my eyes could never see anyone else? That's why I never had a girlfriend and am not very good at pursuing girls."

"Wanwan, you... you don't hate me anymore?"

Seeing his cautious demeanor, Lin Wan once again felt how excessively cruel she had been to him in the past. Her entire self had been completely blinded by hatred! She believed everything Lin Ran said.

Lin Wan looked at his persistent, handsome eyes and couldn't help but think:

Perhaps from the moment he gave his entire life for her, or perhaps even from much earlier, he already held a place in her heart.

Otherwise, when Lin Ran stole so many people and things around her, why would she only react so strongly to him? Every time they met, she would attack him with the most vicious words, even insulting him with his background.

Thinking about it now, it was truly heinous!

"Mo Chi, I'm sorry. I was such a jerk before. I don't hate you, not even a little bit."

She tightly hugged his waist, and Shen Mo Chi was ecstatic, unable to stop the smile from rising on his lips.

Although he didn't know exactly what had happened, it was enough that Wanwan didn't hate him!

"It's fine, Wanwan. As long as you're happy, I'm fine with anything."

Lin Wan smiled and said:

"Really? Then what if I wanted to kill someone?"

"Then I would come and hand you the knife!"

"Wanwan, in this world, you are the person I care about the most."

"Mhm, I believe you, Shen Mo Chi. Let's be together."

"Okay, Wanwan. This is the happiest moment of my life."

The two looked at each other and smiled, filled with tenderness.

Shen Mo Chi held her, unwilling to let go for a moment.

Lin Wan simply changed to a more comfortable position and lay on top of him.

"Shen Mo Chi, do you trust me?"

"Unconditionally."

"Good. Then I'll show you something. Don't be scared into fainting."

Shen Mo Chi tapped her forehead, chuckling:

"Your boyfriend isn't that timid."

Of course, Lin Wan knew that Shen Mo Chi was not only highly intelligent but also one of the best in terms of combat skills.

In her previous life, he established the foremost base in Huaxia by the third year of the Apocalypse, and his awakened special ability was also the highest level.

But the only thing was that there had never been a woman by his side. Now, the Apocalypse hadn't arrived yet, and he hadn't seen the System. She was just afraid of scaring him with her space.

Pouting, Lin Wan pulled him up to sit and, with a thought, the two of them entered the space.
