Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After their moment of intimacy, Ye Xin lay in Mu Qing’s embrace, silently playing with the buttons of his pajamas.

Mu Qing patted Ye Xin’s back gently as he softly asked, “You’re not angry anymore?”

Ye Xin reached out and hugged Mu Qing tightly.

Mu Qing sighed softly. “I’m old, but you’re still young. I shouldn’t tie you down and should set you free to make your own choices. Alas, no one in this world has control over love. No matter how much I restrained myself, I still can’t help loving you…”

Mu Qing trailed off, seemingly unable to continue his words.

Ye Xin immediately sat up. “Sir, you love me?”

Mu Qing looked at her as he reached out and tucked a strand of hair behind her ears before nodding slightly.

Ye Xin laid her head on his chest again and hugged him tightly. Tears flowed down her face as she said, “Sir, I love you too. I’ve fallen in love with you, and there’s nothing else in my heart but you!”

After wiping her tears away, she sat on her knees and said, “Sir, can you only love me from now on? I don’t want to share you with other women.”

Mu Qing sat up and adjusted his posture before he pulled Ye Xin closer to him, letting her lie in his arms. “Ye Xin, you know there’s a lot of things I must do. When a man does things, he can’t afford to care about trivial matters. Sometimes, I have to use unconventional methods to achieve my goals.”

Mu Qing continued to say, “Xiao You was a spy I arranged to work in a massage parlor. When you saw me with her the other day, she was reporting the things she had found out to me. We were only acting. Who knew you, silly girl, would take it seriously and throw such a huge tantrum?”

Then, he sighed before he said, “I was very angry at that time as well so I reacted harshly to you. No matter what, it’s my fault. I shouldn’t have laid my hands on you. I’ve been wracked with guilt because of that matter…”

Ye Xin’s heart was brimming with happiness when she heard these words.

Mu Qing continued sighing. “I sent you a message, but you didn’t reply to me the entire night. I couldn’t sleep at all. I kept thinking about our time together and tried to comfort myself by thinking that it was best for you if our relationship ends. I thought to myself that I won’t disturb you anymore. A good girl like you deserves the best in the world. You shouldn’t have to waste your life on an old man like me.”

“Sir!” Ye Xin cried out in protest.

Mu Qing did not let her speak. He sighed and said with a hint of embarrassment, “I’m already so old, but who knew I’d find a love that makes me feel young again? It’s really unbelievable.”

Ye Xin smiled widely. She tilted her head and asked, “So, this means Sir has also fallen in love with me?”

Mu Qing only smiled but did reply to her question. Instead, he reached out and stroked Ye Xin’s hair as he said, “Silly girl, why are you so happy? I’m just an old man.”

Ye Xin reached out and covered his mouth. “Don’t you dare say that you’re old again! You’re not old! In my heart, you’re better than all those young men!”

Mu Qing held Ye Xin’s hand and kissed it gently. “You’re just a silly girl.”

Ye Xin felt as though her heart had melted in a puddle of water at this moment. All the dark clouds hanging above her head all this time had dispersed.. She did not want much; all she wanted was to be loved.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
