119: Chapter 119 "If you really care about this, then I won't accept Hu Che."

Tang Ruan leaned backward.

Subconsciously, she tightened the arms that were wrapped around Hu Che's neck.

Just when she thought her head would hit the ground in the next second, the hand on her waist suddenly tightened.

As he pulled her back, Hu Che's head slammed against her chest.

Tang Ruan: ... Was he... was he doing that on purpose?

Was this guy trying to take advantage of her?

She was a little angry and was just about to scold him when Hu Che lifted his face.

"I'm sorry, I... I didn't mean to. I just wanted to be closer to you."

His cheeks were flushed, his eyes darting away, looking "ashamed" and at a loss because of his previous actions.

"It's okay..."

He would be her Beast Husband sooner or later, so even if he kissed that spot... it shouldn't matter, right...

"Really?" Hu Che's eyes shone brightly, like a little animal that had received its owner's approval.

"Mm."

She wouldn't blame him anymore; he just needed to stop attacking her with that look!!!

However, in the next second, Hu Che buried his whole face into her chest.

Tang Ruan: !!!!

Hu Che: Stinky Snake! The Mistress agreed to it.

When Tang Ruan tried to push him away again, he was like a big dog determined to snuggle with its owner; no matter how she pushed, she couldn't move him.

After a while, she began to enjoy the feeling of him being against her.

Tang Ruan's eyes were watery as she looked down at the top of Hu Che's head.

She hadn't expected him to have such a quirk.

He really was... a little kid...

Hu Che craved the scent on Tang Ruan's body, wishing he could drown himself in this sweetness.

Just as he intended to take it a step further, a sharp pain suddenly shot through his chin.

It was as if a fiery red uppercut had suddenly struck him in the chin.

"Ah!" Hu Che let out a cry, his head instantly snapping back.

It reminded Tang Ruan of a fish looking up at the sky...

Hu Che's fair, delicate chin turned red in an instant.

There was even a faint scent of something being scorched.

Tang Ruan: !!!

Hu Che felt like crying but had no tears.

Very good, Stinky Snake!

One day, he would snatch Tang Ruan away, lock her in his room! She would be his alone! He would let him watch and fret in vain! Just like his current situation!

"Are... are you okay..." Tang Ruan reached out and carefully touched his chin.

Ugh... so hot!

Hu Che looked aggrieved, his eyes filled with tears.

He began to continue listing Yan Qing's ten great sins.

"To come back and find you, I signed a contract with him, I cannot touch you proactively, nor can I proactively suggest—"

Hu Che paused, clutching his heart in pain...

He couldn't even say it?

Did explaining this matter count as a proactive suggestion?

Aaaaaah!

He was going to kill that Stinky Snake, void the contract!

Tang Ruan: "Suggest what?"

Hu Che was so angry his face turned bright red, "I can't say... otherwise I'll 'get beaten up'."

When he said the words "get beaten up," he looked aggrieved yet unwilling to give in.

It was like a little kid who had been bullied by an upperclassman and was powerless to fight back.

Tang Ruan couldn't help it and let out a "pfft" of laughter.

But as she laughed, she stopped.

So Yan Qing really didn't want her to be with Hu Che.

But he didn't want to disappoint her either, so he allowed Hu Che to associate with her, but didn't give Hu Che the right to be proactive.

He wanted her to be able to calmly face her relationship with Hu Che and decide for herself whether to be with him.

So, these past few days, Yan Qing wasn't hiding something from her.

It was simply that he knew she was often going to find Hu Che.

So, he was angry.

And distancing himself from her...

Tang Ruan healed the burn on Hu Che's chin.

When she returned, the sky hadn't completely darkened yet.

She returned to the room and found that Yan Qing had already fallen asleep in his clothes.

Sleeping so early?

But his chest was wide open, looking as if it were intentionally exposed for her to see.

Tang Ruan leaned over, lay down behind him, and wrapped her arms around his waist.

She felt Yan Qing move slightly.

Tang Ruan rested her forehead against his back and asked in a low voice: "Yan Qing, do you not want me to take Hu Che?"

Yan Qing didn't answer, but his body seemed to stir.

Tang Ruan took two deep breaths and pursed her lips.

She said in a very small voice: "If you truly mind this matter so much, I won't take Hu Che."

The hand Yan Qing had placed in front of him suddenly tightened.

He slowly opened his eyes, a trace of shock in his emerald eyes.

Yet, he didn't turn around.

Tang Ruan said in a very small but very serious voice: "He is not as important as you."

She tightened her arms, as if afraid he might slip away.

Yan Qing was the person who had accompanied her the longest in this world, and he loved her without reservation.

She also completely relied on him.

She couldn't be without Yan Qing.

She couldn't accept him gradually distancing himself from her because of Hu Che.

Yan Qing tried hard to restrain himself so that his breathing wouldn't sound rapid.

But his suddenly accelerated heartbeat still betrayed his emotions.

Was Tang Ruan willing to stop taking Beast Husbands for his sake?

Tang Ruan held him tightly, having already made up her mind.

As long as Yan Qing didn't agree, she would break off her relationship with Hu Che.

She did like Hu Che; this kind of liking was a physiological liking, coming from instinct.

Therefore, being with him always made her heart race more easily than being with Yan Qing.

But compared to losing Yan Qing, slowly forgetting Hu Che over time might be easier.

He was like a beautiful, delicate rose that had bloomed in her heart.

She had seen his beauty.

But he was so good that even if he were planted in different soil, someone would still cherish him.

Yan Qing was different.

Yan Qing was her soil.

If she lost him, she would "die"...

As for the hurt she might cause Hu Che...

He liked her simply because she was the first Female Beastman he had spent day and night with.

Besides, at that time, he was helpless in Wan Shou City, and the only person he was close to was her.

Otherwise, with Hu Che's looks, how could he have taken a fancy to her!

He would definitely be able to meet a Female Beastman better than her.

Tang Ruan kept trying to convince herself in her heart, but tears still accidentally dripped onto Yan Qing's back, creating a patch of warmth on him.

Suddenly, Yan Qing grabbed her hand.

"Will you regret it?"

Tang Ruan was startled and lifted her head.

Then she shook it vigorously.

Feeling her movement, Yan Qing stroked her fingers.

"Mistress, remember what you said."

Tang Ruan nodded desperately but didn't say a word.

Because she didn't dare to speak.

If she spoke, Yan Qing would discover she was crying.

If she spoke, she wouldn't be able to control her emotions.

Why, after hearing that Yan Qing truly didn't agree, did her heart hurt so much, ten thousand times more painful than she had imagined?

Tang Ruan thought she had hidden it well, but she didn't know that her trembling body betrayed her.

Yan Qing suddenly turned around, propping his elbows on either side of her body.

Tang Ruan hurriedly raised her arms to cover her eyes.

"What's wrong? Why won't you let me see?"

He gripped her arms but didn't use force.

Tang Ruan bit her lower lip and shook her head vigorously.

"Sand got in my eyes, they're a bit swollen, it's ugly... don't look at them today."

Every few words she spoke, she had to pause to calm her emotions.

Yan Qing's kiss landed on her forehead.

"Mistress, do you know? Like this, I will feel even worse."
