Chapter 1843: Chapter 1843: But I Only Have You
Ruan Tianling pretended to be fierce and said, "Do you really want me to let you go?! Even if you do, there’s no chance!"
"Ruan Tianling, sometimes I wonder, what is there about me that you like? I’m odd-tempered and stubborn, not exactly a beauty, and have caused you so much trouble. Why do you love me?"
"I owe you from a past life," he joked.
But Jian Yufei was very serious: "I’ve long since stopped worrying about the past life, you don’t need to..."
"You really believe it! I wouldn’t love you out of guilt; there are many ways to compensate you, besides choosing to wrong myself. Yufei, I don’t know why I fell in love with you. I just did, without reason. If I had to give reasons, I’d have plenty, but those are reasons I found only after falling in love."
Jian Yufei pressed her lips together; his love was so deep that she was both lucky and unlucky.
Because if she were to die, it would be a devastating blow to him.
"Ruan Tianling, if one day one of us goes first, the one left behind should live well, okay?"
Ruan Tianling lifted her hand and kissed it near his lips: "It’s unfair to say that."
"Why?"
"You forgot about our promise. I can’t die before you. If you leave, but expect me to live on, that’s too cruel."
Cruel?
Having him accompany her in death, that would be cruel.
"That was just a promise. No one knows who’ll go first. Let’s make a new one now; no matter who goes first, the other should continue living well."
"No!" Ruan Tianling refused firmly, "I won’t live on."
Jian Yufei said anxiously: "If you were the one to die first, would you hope I’d die immediately too?"
"No, I’d wait for you down there, until you lived out your life and came to find me."
"I would wait for you too..."
"I don’t want you to wait for me; I don’t like women waiting for me."
Jian Yufei was infuriated, "That’s a double standard; one set for me, another for yourself."
"You’re a woman, and I’m a man, so the standards should be different," Ruan Tianling said justifiably.
"So, if I die, you’d die too, right?"
Ruan Tianling nodded, "Yes!"
Jian Yufei’s heart sank to the bottom, "Junchen and Junqi are really pitiful, losing their mom and then immediately losing their dad."
"It’s okay, they still have grandparents and each other..."
"..."
"But I only have you."
Jian Yufei suddenly turned her head, tears instantly filling her eyes.
But I only have you...
These words made her feel such heartache, such sorrow.
Ruan Tianling, how can you be like this...
Even though she couldn’t persuade him, Jian Yufei had no regrets about loving him. She didn’t regret their love; she just felt anguish for their future.
"Yufei." Ruan Tianling hugged her from behind, "Don’t dwell on things that haven’t happened yet. I promise, we can still live for sixty or seventy years. A few decades is short, so let’s not dwell on this topic, okay?"
Jian Yufei nodded, "I know, I won’t dwell on it."
Turning around, she smiled, "Let’s sleep; we still have to meet Mo Lan and the others tomorrow."
"Okay." Ruan Tianling lifted her up and carried her towards the bed.
He placed her on the bed, lowered his head to kiss her lips, his fingers deftly undoing her buttons.
Because her face had burned, all of Jian Yufei’s clothes had buttons, making them easy to take off without hurting her face.
