Chapter Twenty-Five: Laying One's Cards on the Table

  "It's getting late, I'm not a good girl, so don't waste your time on me anymore." Yuexin seemed to be somewhat helpless. This was already the sixth time she had rejected him, but each time he acted as if he hadn't heard her.

  These days, under her careful care, Yin Ye Ming recovered quickly. Now his face is also much rosier, and in these short few days, he would confess to her as long as he was in a good mood. Not at all like the original him. She couldn't help but start wondering if he had been injured.

  These past few months of being together, Yizhen couldn't help but admit that she had already developed feelings for this person who always worried about her, always got hurt for her, and silently cared for her. However, she was afraid. Ever since the incident with Luohanchen, she feared any kind of emotion. She was afraid of getting hurt again, afraid of being deceived again, afraid that her true heart would once again misplace its trust in someone, and even more afraid that she would end up hurting him. Because...she had already sold her soul.

  "I'm not a good person either." Yin Yemeng said with a smile. Since Yuichen had been by his side, he almost smiled every day, and that nightmare hadn't appeared again.

  "I am an assassin."

  "I used to be too."

  "I joined the leftover leaves"

  ……

  When he heard this sentence, Yin Ye Meng was stunned and looked at her in disbelief. It's not surprising that Yin Ye Meng would have such an expression. Because the remaining leaves are one of the most mysterious organizations, most people only know that its headquarters is in New York, USA, and the leader is the silver half-masked You Ming Ka. As for Yin Ye Meng's influence, he only knew that once someone joined the remaining leaves, they would be bound to the organization for life, unless they died. He knew she had entered the underworld, but he never thought she would be a member of the remaining leaves.

  His expression, reaction, was completely within Yu Chen's expectation. She slowly got up from the sofa, calmly turned around and left. But after turning her back to him, tears still fell down. It turned out that she had such deep feelings for him!

  Suddenly a big hand grasped her tightly and pulled her into his arms. Yu Chen struggled ceaselessly, but suddenly a muffled groan came from above her head, and she remembered that he was injured, so she stopped struggling.

  "What's the difference even if you're a fallen leaf? I like you as a person, not your status." He lifted her up from his chest. With his fingers, he gently wiped away the tears on her face. Then, under Yidun's slightly emotional gaze, he slowly leaned in towards her, their lips meeting once again.

  He kissed her for a long time, and only reluctantly let go of her when she was almost out of breath. Looking at her panting appearance, Yin Ye's eyes deepened even more, and he reached out to tuck her slightly disheveled hair behind her ear. Yu Chen didn't dare look into his eyes, keeping her head lowered, her heart racing extremely fast, as if it were going to jump out.

  He pulled her into his arms again. "I know what you're worried about, the remaining leaves are mysterious, but I'll do my best to get to the bottom of it. I know that Luo Hanxun made it hard for you to believe in love again, so I'll give you time. I won't force you to be with me, but please don't push me away. And...I'll wait for you, as long as you haven't accepted me, I'll keep waiting."

  The dust that fell on his shoulders, at this moment tears gushed out even more. How long has it been since I've had this feeling? This feeling of being loved and pampered by someone is really blissful. At this moment she really wanted to agree with him, but...she still didn't say it out loud.

  "Alright," Yin Ye Mo let go of the former, "Now I also know your identity, so next time there's a task don't keep it from me again. Don't refuse, or else I'll think you don't trust me." Just as she was about to speak, he promptly covered her mouth.

  The latter could only nod his head. "But you have to promise me that next time you can't be so desperate."

  Looking at her so solemnly, Yin Ye Mo nodded with a good mood. Yi Chen also finally burst into laughter. This scene, the entire room was surrounded by happiness. But now they couldn't think of what kind of fate was waiting for them below.
