Her heart ached so much that it made it difficult for her to breathe. She couldn't help but grab the skirt of her chest and turn it on her pillow.
"Mochuan, Mochuan."
she whispered.
One hand held her hand so tightly that she felt pain.
With a sudden start, she woke up from her dream, and what she saw when she opened her eyes was Qi Yanyu's face.
"Is it you?" She breathed out softly and found herself breaking out in a cold sweat.
She shook her head and tried to wipe the cold sweat from her forehead, but found that his hand was held in his.
"Having a nightmare?" he asked, staring at her.
He came to visit her directly after he came out of the palace. Remembering that he was going to marry her in less than ten days, he was full of charming thoughts and affections, but he heard her calling another man's name in his dream.
Jealousy and hatred wormed their way into his heart like poisonous snakes.
Although he knew that she had never let go of that man in her heart, he still felt that he couldn't bear it.
"It's not a nightmare." Shen Ning shook her head gently.
Mo Chuan has never been her nightmare.
After hearing her words, Qi Yanyu's expression couldn't help but change.
She was about to marry him, but she wouldn't even lie to him.
"Will you never forget him for the rest of your life?"
Shen Ning was stunned and looked up at him: "Maybe."
"Aren't you afraid that I will be jealous?" In fact, he was almost going crazy with jealousy.
"I said, you have no time to regret, we are not married yet." She said calmly.
Her indifferent attitude stung him even more.
"You just hope that I will regret it, don't you?"
"No." She frowned and looked down at the hand held by him, "Can we talk properly? Your grip hurts me."
Qi Yanyu stared at her, and instead of letting go, he held her tighter.
He grabbed her hand, pressed it on his chest, and stared at her.
"Are you hurt? Do you feel as sorry as I do?"
She was startled slightly, feeling the frequency of his heart beating under her hand, and his handsome young face that was flushed with jealousy and anger.
There was a hint of resentment, but it suddenly dissipated.
She stared at him, but the conversation between last night and Xiaoru sounded in her ears.
Xiaoru asked her why she had to marry Qi Yanyu. There is more than one Mo Chuan and more than one Qi Yanyu in the world.
Her answer was: There are many good men in the world, but there are not many men like Qi Yanyu who really take her into their hearts.
His heart was beating in her palm now.
He gave her his whole heart.
If she said something she regretted now, it would be like stabbing her heart hard.
She had personally promised to marry him at that time. Since she had agreed, she would do it. She had tasted what it was like to be heartbroken. If she couldn't love him, then at least she could not break his heart.
Shen Ning lowered her eyes and gently pressed her face against his chest, listening to his strong heartbeat.
"Qi Yanyu, I shouldn't make you feel bad. I won't do it anymore." She whispered.
Qi Yanyu was stunned by her sudden movement and turned into a fossil. He remained motionless for a while, but his heart was beating violently.
"I... I..." He stuttered, unable to speak smoothly, but his handsome face was red and his eyes were shining with strange light.
Shen Ning raised her head, stared at him and smiled: "Why are you so angry with me that you don't even want to talk to me?"
"of course not!"
Qi Yanyu rubbed his chin in annoyance. She took the initiative to throw herself into his arms just now, but he didn't know how to seize the opportunity and didn't even have the guts to kiss her.
