Bigshot's Sweetie Is a Cat!-Chapter 1139: Go With Brother Ye Qi, I’ll Keep Him Safe for You

"The Clan Leader grandmother clearly loves me the most, but why does everyone not like him..."

"Xiao’ai..." Brother Ye Qi looked at her worriedly.

"Brother Ye Qi, I don’t want to go back, and I don’t want to be a Princess either..."

"Little Princess, stop fooling around, hurry up and come back with us."

"Go back? And leave Jun Moyan here waiting for the Clan Leader grandmother to send someone to kill him again?"

"Little Princess, staying here is what’s truly harmful to him. You need to understand that the Clan Leader’s intent to kill Jun Moyan is because of you. If you stay here longer, it’ll only further provoke the Clan Leader’s killing intent. Be good and come back with us first, this isn’t without a chance for change. Let’s go back and talk to the Clan Leader properly, okay? You said it yourself, the Clan Leader loves you the most, she surely doesn’t want you to be sad."

"...Really?"

Feng Liyan’s words got through to Wen Xiao’ai.

But she was still uneasy about leaving Jun Moyan here.

"Of course it’s true, believe me."

"..."

Wen Xiao’ai looked at the motionless Jun Moyan, holding his hand tightly, hesitating for a moment. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Staying here truly did more harm than good.

But she couldn’t bear to leave.

Going back this time, who knows when she’ll see him again.

"Little Princess, don’t hesitate, the Clan Leader has already emerged from seclusion. If you don’t go back now, once she finds out you came to see Jun Moyan, things will be even harder to resolve."

"I..."

"Xiao’ai..." Brother Ye Qi called her.

Wen Xiao’ai looked up at him.

"Go back with Brother Ye Qi, I’ll protect him for you." He promised her.

"..." Wen Xiao’ai pressed her lips together, looking at Jun Moyan, and after a while, she said, "I... I still have something to say to him."

"Then do it quickly, Brother Ye Qi and I will wait for you outside," Feng Liyan said, supporting Brother Ye Qi’s arm, as they were about to leave.

Brother Ye Qi looked at Wen Xiao’ai and Jun Moyan, not moving at first, and after hesitating for a few seconds, followed Feng Liyan out of the dining area into the hall to wait.

Wen Xiao’ai lowered her gaze, looking at their tightly held hands, then at Jun Moyan, her eyes full of reluctance.

As a purple light emanated from her hand holding his, Jun Moyan regained his movement and hearing.

He slowly turned around, meeting Wen Xiao’ai’s eyes.

"Jun Moyan..." Wen Xiao’ai held back tears, looking at him with guilt.

Jun Moyan said nothing, reaching out to pull her into his arms.

After a while, he just said, "I’ll wait for you, no matter how long it takes, I’ll wait for you to come back."

Wen Xiao’ai’s body stiffened, and she pulled back a little from his embrace, looking up at him:

"Did... Did you hear everything?"

Brother Ye Qi had sealed his hearing, hadn’t he?

How could he have heard?

"I... I saw it." Jun Moyan lowered his gaze slightly.

At this moment, he deeply regretted having learned lip-reading before.

If he hadn’t known, his heart wouldn’t hurt so much.

"Jun Moyan... I’m sorry."

"Silly girl, it’s not your fault." He cupped her face with his hands, wiping her tears with his fingertips.

"The Clan Leader grandmother wasn’t like this before; she truly was a good grandmother. She saved many people and helped many others..." Wen Xiao’ai choked up, tears falling uncontrollably.

The more she spoke, the more it hurt inside.

But why would someone so kind-hearted have to violently target the person she loved the most, leaving no room at all?

Why is that?

"It’s okay, I’m still here, aren’t I?"
