Chapter 700 - Unwilling To Hurt Her
Aunt Hua was frightened while Yang Fan, who had not achieved his goal, left sadly.
After the two left, He Xiyan calmed down a little. In this remote area, there were also many barbaric acts. This time, she got to know that they could buy and sell people at will.
Even marriage was a business. The man’s family gave the bride’s family a sum of bride-price worth 100,000 to 200,000 yuan and the bride’s family did not need to give dowry. Thus, to the bride’s family, the direct confiscation of the bride-price seemed to be the gains by selling their daughter.
Many families managed to help their sons get married by selling their daughters. Some families, with several daughters, even earned hundreds of thousands yuan by selling their daughters and went to live in the downtown area.
At this time, Chen Jiahang came over. He frowned slightly, anger still remaining on his face. He went to He Xiyan and suddenly grabbed her shoulder. There was an elusive feeling in his eyes which He Xiyan could not understand.
He Xiyan opened her eyes wide and looked at him in great surprise. “Jiahang, you…”
However, before she finished her words, her whole body was suddenly pulled by him, and then she uncontrollably crashed into his broad embrace.
Chen Jiahang wrapped his hands around her waist and his strong chin rested on her head. Because of emotional fluctuation, he breathed hastily and his chest fluctuated fast.
He Xiyan became stiff and her body suddenly trembled a little. She bit her lip tightly, unable to react for a time.
She could feel the heat passed through his body and hear the sound of his breathing. Such feelings made her feel embarrassed and lost beyond words.
“It’s time for us to cook dinner.” She said, her face turning slightly red because of embarrassment.
She pushed him a little with her hand but could not push him away.
“Chen Jiahang, let go of me.” She said somewhat eagerly, feeling quite awkward towards his sudden acts. He had always respected her before and would not get so close to her.
What on earth was he going to do?
Realizing something was wrong with him, she suddenly opened her eyes wide. She had always treated him as a big child. Only now did she realize that he was simply silly with a low IQ, but was a man both physically and mentally.
“If you don’t let go, I’ll get angry.” Knowing that they could not continue like this, He Xiyan shouted out.
Her roar finally worked to some extent. Chen Jiahang slowly loosened his hands that were holding her.
Chen Jiahang looked at her, his eyes deep. After a few blinks, there seemed to be a faint tear glittering in the corners of her eyes.
He even cried.
He Xiyan was stunned, shocked as well, and her heart ached inexplicably.
“You…” She opened her mouth, but for a moment she did not know how to comfort him.
Chen Jiahang walked to the desk. At that moment, he took out his pen and paper and wrote on it carefully:
“Yanyan, you won’t leave, will you?” When he finished, he turned his head to look at her, eyes full of anxiety and fear.
He Xiyan clasped her hands. After getting his anxiety, she nodded her head forcefully.
Yes, she would not leave him. Even if she left, she would take him with her. In this strange world, he was the only person she could rely on and trust.
Chen Jiahang, after getting the affirmative answer, finally laughed, revealing two rows of neat teeth. He then wrote again:
“No matter how much they pay, I won’t sell you. You’re my wife. We’ll be together forever.”
After that, he happily handed it to her and put on a childlike innocent smile.
Seeing what he had written, He Xiyan frowned, not knowing whether she should laugh or cry. Only then did she realize that she could not say a word of refusal because she was afraid of hurting him.
