Chapter 20 (Part 3/3)
"If
you don't want to say, I won't force you." Anyway, when the Sixth Prince
returned, he could check this thoroughly. Standing up, Jun Liyuan took out a
purse from his sleeve and placed it next to Mo Qingge's pillow.
Mo
Qingge stared at the purse. His eyes widened three sizes, and the corners of
his lips twitched.
“You
know better than me what is inside here. I picked it up at the mass grave. It
must have fallen out when Lixuan moved you. You protected it so much even when
you were so badly beaten. I cannot let this slide so easily. You may be unsure
of how you feel, but I'm not. I know my feelings very clearly." Jun Liyuan
spoke with assertiveness. By accident, he picked up this purse. When he opened
it, his heart raced in surprise, and it reaffirmed his longing and perplexion
for Mo Qingge.
Mo
Qingge's eyes glistened and turned red. This purse belonged to him, and it
contained the entrance permit to His Royal Highness Yi Mansion. Just a few days
ago, Jun Liyuan gave it to him. The original intention was to return to the
mansion with him and not force him to do anything. Jun Liyuan wanted to provide
him with a better environment. But he flat out refused.
Jun
Liyuan did not take back the permit but allowed him to ponder and consider this
offer. At any time, he could drop by the mansion. After Jun Liyuan left, Mo
Qingge stared blankly at the permit for a long time. However, his father and
mother's dying instructions to him looped unceasingly in his ears. At the last
moments, they made him swear that he would neither enter the palace nor the
mansions of any royalty nor approach the noble officials in his life. To this,
he had given his promise.
After
these years hanging around Tranquility Pavilion, he witnessed the despicable
acts of authorities abusing their power and bullying the weak and needy.
Although the bosses would step in to resolve it, the trauma never left. All of
these terrors made him unwilling to agree to Jun Liyuan. But when his fingers
were broken one by one, his voice could not scream despite the pain. As the
tears burst out of his eyes uncontrollably, he was more worried about was the
custom-made purse he had hidden in the cuff of his shirt.
Even
when his fingers could not move, he pressed his wrist downwards firmly,
securing the purse in place before losing consciousness. The last thing he had
to protect and the sole item he did not want to lose had to be guarded
appropriately...
Jun
Liyuan sighed for a long time. He adjusted his fringe and whispered,
"Okay, I won't ask. Just rest well. Don't worry about anything else, I
will take of it."
Jun
Liyuan could not bear to see even a trace of sorrow on Mo Qingge. The more he
thought about the sadness and pain Mo Qingge endured, the harder it was to hold
back his affection. At this moment, Jun Liyuan fully understood why Jun Lixuan
felt the need to cherish Ling Qiyang. Because that man lived in his heart. When
that happened, loving him was as important as cherishing his own soul.
As for when that man moved into his heart, or his heart fluttered for him, there may never be a definite answer. It may not be a point in time, or an event, or even a process. But no matter what, the final result was the same. From now on, only that man would matter. He swore to stay by his side, till death do them part.
