Chapter 12 A New Goal

Atop Sunset Mountain, the sun was just beginning to rise when Meng Qi saw Long Chen walk back with the marriage contract. Despite this being what she wanted, she couldn’t bear to do it. Her hand trembled, but she simply couldn’t take that piece of paper.

Long Chen smiled slightly. Gripping her hand lightly, he handed the marriage contract to her.

When he touched her beautiful hand, his heart shook and it took a huge effort to keep himself calm.

“Take it. You’re a kind girl, and although the situation is as it is, I don’t hate you in the slightest.”

With one hand in the grasp of Long Chen, Meng Qi’s body shook. At first she wanted to take her hand back, but it was as if she couldn’t control her own body.

Long Chen’s words caused her heart to ache, and the tears within her eyes spilled out. She choked out, “Long Chen, I’m sorry…”

“You really are a nice person. I should make my move now while I have a chance…”

His heart was plummeting, but his expression was still warm and calm. He acted in a brotherly manner, reaching out and gently wiping away her tears.

It was only with his greatest strength that he managed not to become engrossed in her beautiful face. Her charm was truly just too astonishing.

Without his powerful Spiritual Strength, he would have already become enchanted. But at this time, he had to continue resisting.

With a faint smile, he said, “Meng Qi, this isn’t your fault. If you want to blame someone, you should blame our fathers. Those two old conkers played a practical joke on us.”

The originally sobbing Meng Qi couldn’t help but laugh when she heard his unfilial and ridiculous words.

The smile that blossomed on her tear-streaked face was like a dew-covered spring flower. Her beauty was something that could not be replicated. Gazing at that face, Long Chen blurted out, “Meng Qi, you really are beautiful.”

But he regretted it as soon as he said it. Despite his attempts at self-control, his male wolf side still appeared. Long Chen was so angry he wanted to punch himself.

Luckily, Meng Qi didn’t become angry after hearing Long Chen’s praise. Her face turned red, and she rolled her eyes in a cute way which was another kind of beauty.

Crap, crap, Long Chen, if you miss out on such a beautiful woman, what would be the point of living?

Right, I just have to do everything I can. Don’t worry about danger or saving face!

Long Chen sighed, and let go of Meng Qi’s hand, leaving the marriage contract with her.

“Actually, with your current status, you didn’t even need to notice my existence. We’re two people in two different worlds. But you still came. I know that you came because you didn’t want me to harbor any false hope and have me waiting forever. For you to want this is completely faultless. On the contrary, I am extremely grateful to you.” 

“Long Chen, are you just saying this to try and make me feel less guilty?” With the marriage contract in her hand, her voice trembled slightly.
