Chapter 716: Chapter 713: I Saved a Place Only for You
Qin Jin didn’t speak but nodded heavily.
It was as if he recalled the scene of the car accident from three years ago; his eyes appeared bloodshot, alarmingly red.
"I’m sorry,..."
Ye Zi didn’t expect that she would inadvertently touch upon his pain point. At this moment, other than apologizing, she didn’t know what to do.
How to comfort him, what to say to him, she didn’t know any of these.
Qin Jin pulled her back into his embrace and gently said, "It’s not your fault."
Knowing him for so long, being together with him for so long, Ye Zi rarely saw such a vulnerable and tender side of him.
"I’m sorry..."
She said it again.
"Ye Zi." He suddenly called her name.
"I’m here."
His voice deep, he said, "I forbid you to say those three words. The woman I love, even if she makes the gravest mistake, doesn’t need to say those words. Not to others, and certainly not to me."
Ye Zi’s eyes began to tear up: "Just now, I was too unreasonable, I shouldn’t have been angry at you, shouldn’t have questioned you, shouldn’t have lost my temper, shouldn’t have... hmm!"
A million unspoken ’shouldn’t haves’ were sealed off by Qin Jin’s kiss.
Ye Zi tilted her head back, looking at him like that, watching the face so close to her, and the tears suddenly overflowed...
Teardrops, one by one, fell, landing on the collar of his shirt.
Qin Jin cupped her face, kissing his way upward, over her lips, her nose, her cheeks, until finally stopping at her eyes.
He kissed away her tears, the salty taste invading his mouth, yet he tasted bitterness.
"I’m sorry, I won’t be like this anymore..." Ye Zi murmured: "I won’t act unreasonably like today, won’t have wild thoughts because of a woman unrelated to us, not anymore, really not anymore..."
"You didn’t act unreasonably." He wiped the remaining tears from her eyes with his fingertips, his profound gaze filled with indulgence, "Little Yezi, remember, in my world, I’ve only reserved a place for you alone."
Pointing at his heart, he chuckled softly; under the dim car lights, his handsome face was all the more captivating.
"What about your sister?" she asked softly and cautiously.
"My sister is here." His long fingers tapped his own head.
"In your memory?"
"Mhm, forever in my memory, until I die, then she can truly leave me."
Ye Zi hugged him tightly on her own initiative, "For you, I will learn to grow up."
She didn’t want to become his burden, encumbrance, or obligation...
She was an adult now, how could she act like a pet, to be carried in a bag, held in the palm of a hand, and still have the petulance to bite the hand that nurtures her at times.
"Go ahead and look into whatever you want to look into; from now on I won’t listen to what anyone says, I will only trust you."
"But, you are not allowed to drink that much alcohol again. Do you know, when I was looking for you just now, those servers were talking about how disreputable you were, saying you are an animal that thinks with the lower half of your body, handsome but fickle and unreliable. They also said you found a sleep companion, even, even..."
At this point, Ye Zi found it somewhat embarrassing to continue, so she paused.
However, her words seemed to amuse Qin Jin, who showed great interest in what she left unsaid, "Mhm, even what?"
Ye Zi stammered, "Even said the sleep companion you found was, was, was a... minor..."
