Chapter 317: Shy
” You came to help me, so you still love me right? ” Xiao Rong asked.
” No, I came here to kill the entire Buddhist sect, your being saved was the after effect of my actions. ”
Jayden replied non chalantly, right now he was in no mood to talk and just wanted to rest, the entire battle was so taxing for him both mentally and physically.
Xiao just smiled, she knew he was just joking, all the fear and despair she had felt before had disappeared and what was left was only the feeling of happiness.
But her expression suddenly turned serious as she asked:
” What are you going to do with Rong Fu? And did you spare him because of me? ”
Jayden wasn’t surprised at the way she was addressing her father, after all, she couldn’t respect a person who was about to do such terrible things to her.
” I will deal with him, and you will never have to see him ever again. ”
Jayden said as they got closer to Xiao Rong’s home.
She fell silent, various thoughts running through her head.
He knew what she wanted to ask, so seeing her hesitation he asked:
” You want to ask about my strength right? ” After a moment, she nodded.
” I’ll tell you everything on our date, let’s go out the day after tomorrow. ”
Jayden said, showing her a charming smile.
” Okay!! ”
She said in an excited tone, and hugged him tightly, momentarily stopping their flight.
After some time, she reluctantly let go of him and looked at his face with besotted eyes, and then without any hesitation placed her lips on his.
It was a short kiss, Jayden felt her soft and warm lips, as her sweet scent drifted into his nose, if he wasn’t feeling so tired he would have immediately pounced on her but currently both of them were exhausted.
” I love you, my husband. ” Xiao said, a sweet smile appeared on her face when she said the last words.
” Husband? ” Jayden asked with a raised eye brow, as they continued their journey back.
” Y- You were supposed to reply similarly to that. ” She said with a cute pout.
Jayden chuckled and spoke:
” Ah… Sorry, Your Highness, your husband is a bit shy, you see. ”
Xiao Rong laughed out loud, her cheeks had returned to their usual rosy colour, they talked like this for the rest of the way, and finally, after a few more minutes, they arrived in front of Xiao Rong’s house.
Although she wanted to spend more time with him, but she too felt tired and she also needed to inform her worried mother that she is safe.
Lao Rong was sitting in front of her house when they arrived, she was hugging her knees while tears travelled down her cheeks continuously.
“!!!”
Seeing her daughter, Lao Rong immediately stood up and ran towards her, without saying any words she hugged her tightly and began to sob loudly.
” X- Xiao’er, my doll, I’m sorry I- I couldn’t do anything earlier. Sob sob A- Are you fine? ”
She asked after separating and looking carefully.
” Mother, I’m fine. ”
Xiao said, stopping her mother. After a few more minutes of sobbing and hugging, Lao Rong finally asked:
” But, how did you escape? D- Don’t tell me that man is still coming after you? W- We have to run away quickly. ”
She said turning towards her house to take the necessary things.
” Wait Mother, everything is fine, he isn’t coming here anymore we are safe. ” Xiao Rong said, pulling her mother’s hand.
” Huh? How? ” She asked, Lao Rong knew that it is impossible for her husband to have a change of heart and suddenly become a good person.
” It all because of Wang J- ”
Xiao began to speak but when she turned around, she saw Jayden was no longer there.
She felt a bit disappointed as she wanted to spend more time with him but she knew that he must also be very exhausted after such a long and hard battle, so she just pulled her mother into the house and began to explain everything.
***
Jayden was walking back to his home, it was already late at night it only took him a couple of minutes to arrive there, since he had teleported near the house.
Just as he was about to enter he prepared himself for the barrage of questions that soon will be showered over him.
*Click*
He opened the door, and after walking a little found Wang Jia sitting in her working room, all the documents were still lying all over the place, she had a frown on her face.
Hearing the sound, Jia looked above and saw Jayden walking into the room, she stood up and hastily walked near him.
” Where were you till now? Do you know how worried I was? Since someone had attacked my guards for a moment I thought that someone had kidnapped you, but I found your note. ”
Jia said, getting closer to him. ” I had just gone to meet one of my friends, that’s why I left the note. Did someone attack your guards? Why? ”
Jayden asked pretending to be surprised, before meeting Lao Rong he had left a note saying ‘ I’m meeting a friend, might be a little late. ‘
” It was Rong Fu, as for why, I’m not sure. Anyway, you don’t have to worry about that, have you eaten yet? ”
She asked, despite all the pressing matters, Jayden is her priority.
” Uh… Not yet. ” Jayden said, and immediately leaving the messed up room as it was, she pulled him into the kitchen, after preparing a simple dinner, they ate the food together.
After finishing the food, they talked about the possible reason for Rong Fu’s attack, and some other things.
Then Jayden finally returned to his room, Wang Jia followed behind to sleep in the same bed, as if it was the most obvious and natural thing.
They lay under the blanket, Jia rested her head on his hand while hugging him, and all her worries disappeared for some time as she slowly drifted off to the dream world.
But despite feeling so tired, Jayden couldn’t bring himself to sleep he knew that there was a high chance that he might see another nightmare if he slept.
‘ Haa, now I can’t even sleep peacefully, just my fucking luck. ‘ he thought and decided to pass the time by talking to Anna.
‘ Anna, what was that voice that I heard when fighting, do you know anything about it? ‘ he asked in his mind.
” I don’t know about everything that happens inside of your head, maybe your alter egos returned? ” She said doubtfully.
‘ No, I am sure it isn’t the alter egos, it was something else, something very evil. I can’t describe it properly but its voice made me want to kill everyone around me. ‘ he replied.
” Maybe it was because of the divine beast’s ability, or maybe something else, let’s observe it for now. ” Anna answered.
Jayden sighed and forced his tired eyes to remain open. The comfort of Jia’s embrace, her warmth and softness was making it even more difficult for him to stay awake.
