YM778.TV Chapter 119: Finding Out That It Was A Mistake To Call Him Husband.
‘What the hell!!!! How can your eyes heal all of a sudden?! Could you at least give me a warning first?!’
Xiao YuAn suddenly took a half step back. He felt an abrupt urge to turn around and run away. Unexpectedly, Yan HeQing moved faster than him, took a step forward, and grabbed his wrist with force.
‘What will you do?! What are you trying to do?! Lin Shenling is still here! Don’t expose your blackened temperament! Behave yourself!’
Xiao YuAn knew that Yan HeQing wanted to castrate him!!! But he couldn’t do it here, right?!
Xiao YuAn’s breath almost stopped, but he didn’t forget Lin Shenling. After his wrist was held by Yan HeQing, he immediately turned around to Lin Shenling and made a mouthing motion: ‘Call-him-husband!’
‘Lin Shenling, shout! Yan HeQing, in the original book, was a harem maniac. If you call him “husband”, his anger will surely be half gone! I can then slip away from him once he gets distracted!!’
“Wh-…. what?” Lin Shenling didn’t understand at all.
Xiao YuAn made several mouth gestures, asking her to shout at her husband.
Lin Shenling suddenly reacted, with a trace of confusion and hesitation appearing under her eyes; but after she remembered that Xiao YuAn had saved her before, she twisted her hands together, gathered some courage, and took a deep breath.
Then, she shouted towards Xiao YuAn: “Husband!”
Xiao YuAn: “…..”
Yan HeQing: “…..”
Xiao YuAn saw Yan HeQing’s eyes, which were wide open in surprise, and his face, which was gradually turning cold after the first initial shock. Xiao YuAn felt that right now, the possibility of getting castrated in public had increased.
What’s the most untouchable thing in a harem novel?!
The Male Lead’s life?
Wrong!
The Male Lead’s golden finger?
Wrong!
The Male Lead’s family and friends?
Wrong!
It’s the Male Lead’s harem! His wives! Any woman that the Male Lead has his eye on! It doesn’t matter whether you want to chase after them, abuse, or do something else. The only thing you can do is to wash your neck, sit, and wait for death to come!!
Xiao YuAn took a half step back violently when Lin Shenling called him “husband” and stepped on a small stone, twisting his foot. Yan HeQing quickly supported Xiao YuAn so that he wouldn’t fall, while at the same time, Lin Shenling gave a light cry and stepped forward to hold Xiao YuAn on the other side: “Xiao…. husband, what happened to you?”
Unexpectedly, Lin Shenling called him “husband” again. Xiao YuAn almost didn’t know how to breathe anymore.
Xiao YuAn and Yan HeQing already had a long history of old grudges from the past, but now, there was another one: Pretending to be a woman to deceive him.
And not only did he deceive Yan HeQing, but he also made Yan HeQing have feelings for “him”. That’ll obviously look like he made fun of him!
In the original book, what Yan HeQing hates the most, is when people made fun of him! In this situation, Xiao YuAn was afraid that he would be tortured alive a hundred times worse to relieve Yan HeQing’s anger.
Xiao YuAn thought that Yan HeQing would be furious, but he didn’t expect Yan HeQing’s actual reaction.
Yan HeQing looked like he was struck by lightning, and didn’t say anything for a long time. His hand holding Xiao YuAn’s wrist was even trembling faintly, and his voice was extremely hoarse as he said: “You…. you married her?”
That question was asked with great caution, as if the answer could push him into an abyss and be doomed by eternity, surrounded by gloominess.
“I….” Xiao YuAn didn’t even know how to answer.
The main focus of Yan HeQing’s question was definitely on her, but why did Yan HeQing ask that, instead of immediately attacking him?
By this time, Yan HeQing was no longer the prisoner who had to endure humiliation and be trampled on in the Imperial Palace of the Northern Kingdom. He doesn’t need to hide his true abilities, he’s even able to kill and torture anyone who dared to hurt him.
But the current Yan HeQing made Xiao YuAn very confused. He didn’t know if it was because he was still in pain from his injuries, with his face as pale as paper, and his eyes were shining. He looked more fragile than a Luan1 made out of paper, unable to withstand the wind and rain.
‘Was it because Yan HeQing had deep feelings for Lin Shenling? And now that he realized that she’s married, he can’t bear to hurt her family, so that’s why he looks like this? Is he going to leave her?’
Xiao YuAn’s silence for such a long time seemed like a tacit agreement to Yan HeQing. After all, even if Xiao YuAn lied, would this woman ignore her own innocence, and blindly call him her husband?
Today was such a pleasant day surrounded by sunlight, but it was so quiet between the three of them that even the sound of a needle hitting the ground could be heard.
After a long time, Yan HeQing released Xiao YuAn’s wrist. He closed his eyes and withdrew his hand. His throat felt painful, hoarse, dry and astringent; and when he opened his mouth, he seemed like he had a big speech to say, but in the end, he only said one word: “Alright…..”
And after what felt an eternity, Yan HeQing murmured again. The word was faintly inaudible, but it was the same word: “Alright….”
After saying that, Yan HeQing turned around and walked away. Xiao YuAn didn’t ask him to stay, and was at a loss at what to say. He stayed frozen in place, watching Yan HeQing leaving.
Don’t worry! This misunderstanding doesn’t last long~
(And yet, my heart hurts seeing YHQ so heartbroken ) (´；д；)
