He rested his head on her shoulder often, but her heart pounded as if this was his first time. “Isn’t it funny?” Weisheng asked as he scoffed in amusement, “I vowed to protect a woman named Xiao Hua with all my life, but here I am, insanely in love with a woman named Xiaoling.” “You…” Xiaoling tried to speak but ended up silent. “It doesn’t matter who I am,” Weisheng murmured, “All that matters is you stay by my side forever.” He raised his head from her shoulder and looked into her eyes, “Because you’re the only one I have in this world.” **** “Then you deserve my forgiveness,” Xiaoling smiled brightly, “Even though you ruined my life, you came back to make it up to me, didn’t you?” “That’s just my selfishness,” Weisheng shrugged, “I don’t deserve you, but I will die before witnessing you with someone else, so…” He rolled his eyes, “You just fell into my trap.” Xiaoling chuckled, “It’s okay. I like this trap.” --- Cover Artist: https://www.instagram.com/alina._.smthng/ My Linktree: https://linktr.ee/Haru.is.cuter.than.you
Xiaoling tried to pull her wrist out of his grip to check on Qingsheng, but Weisheng held her tightly with a blunt expression.
"Weisheng, I can explain later. What if something happens to the kid? Are you going to take responsibility?" Xiaoling complained while struggling.
Weisheng blinked, "The kid isn't real." He said bluntly.
Xiaoling stopped struggling and turned to Weisheng, "What?"
"Are you a quack?" Weisheng asked, "Shouldn't you know better than me? The kid is an illusion."
Xiaoling was dumbfounded. She finally understood why the demeanor of the couple was so strange.
"If we kill the illusion, everyone will forget it ever existed…" Xiaoling murmured one of the teachings of her Godmother.
"Glad you remember," Weisheng frowned, "Now answer my question."
