Attention Sir, I Have Your Heart Handcuffed!-Chapter 375 - 255 - For You, There is Nothing I Can’t Let Go (Second Release)

Chapter 375: Chapter 255 - For You, There is Nothing I Can’t Let Go (Second Release)

Huangfu Huazhang nodded with a smile, "Yes, it has been many years. He has always followed me, like a shadow." He turned his head to glance at her, "But in those previous years, you weren’t around, so he could do that. Now that you’re here, it’s inconvenient for him to be with me like a shadow all the time."

The man, dressed in a camel wool coat, was highlighted by a bright red scarf around his neck, making his eyes appear lighter, no longer the calm blue but a shimmering purple under the lights.

He bent down towards her, his lips almost touching her earlobe.

"...From now on, I want to be your shadow."

Although his lips didn’t actually touch her earlobe, it was too sensitive an area, so his breath brushed against it, making her whole body involuntarily tingle and itch. She couldn’t help but shiver slightly and quickly stepped back.

The chemistry between a man and a woman is truly a wonderfully mysterious thing.

Huangfu Huazhang watched her escape like a little rabbit, not angry but smiling happily instead.

She felt it, which was good. Even though she used shyness as a shield and avoided discussing passionate things, she still felt his desire as a man.

A man’s desire is never limited to spiritual affection but always seeks a strong physical possession.

For him, he was never that curious about sex. That ordeal of sweating profusely and getting drenched in "fluid exchange" didn’t really appeal to him.

But at this moment, he wanted it.

He wanted to sweat for her, to make himself burn with heat because of her, to entwine his sweat with hers, to—to engage in the most passionate fluid exchange with her at the deepest level.

Thinking of this, he smiled. Because that ultimate fluid exchange would mean a child.

A crystallization of him and her, a continuation of their lives.

He once hated offspring, believing himself to be an unwanted life. He felt that a child like him was abandoned by the heavens and thus would never have children of his own... But now, he wanted a child with her.

That way, he and she would be together forever. Even though life is limited and time always changes, their lives would merge and continue through time, forever enduring.

He smiled, his palm slightly sweaty.

.

The atmosphere was subtly changing, so Shi Nian quickly escaped, hurrying down the steps to stand by the Rolls-Royce, looking back.

"Sir, the car... needs to be exchanged too."

She was a bit nervous, "I admit my car is small, and it’s second-hand; my driving skills aren’t the best, but at least I can guarantee basic safety. So..." She looked up at him in the light, her youthful face glowing with a soft but enchanting brilliance like pearls, "Sir, please take my car."

Huangfu Huazhang stood on the high steps, enveloped in golden light, tall and god-like.

He squinted at her, as if standing in the clouds, looking down on the world.

His driver, however, got anxious first, stepping out of the Rolls-Royce, first politely bowing to Shi Nian, then saying to Huangfu Huazhang, "Sir, I understand the miss’s feelings. But in all these years, sir has never randomly chosen a car for travel. This car is always the guarantee of your outing, so sir should continue taking this car."

The driver’s words naturally held deeper meaning: On the surface, this car seems no different from other Rolls-Royces, but its interior is modified with bulletproof steel and glass, and at critical moments the engine can reach instantaneous speeds comparable to aircraft... As for Shi Nian’s Beetle, it’s second-hand, how can it guarantee sir’s safety?

Shi Nian, being clever, understood the driver’s words. She laughed awkwardly, waving her hand apologetically, "Sir, then never mind. I overestimated myself, speaking out of turn."

He watched her from above, capturing all her expressions in his eyes.

Once she finished speaking, he gazed at her, smiling gently, slowly stepping down the steps, and lightly tapped her forehead with his kid leather gloves.

"What are you talking about? I’ve changed my clothes, so naturally, I should change the car too. Your little bug may be shabby, but it’s very cool. When I first saw it, I couldn’t help imagining what it would be like to sit inside, wondering if I would have to hunch."

Shi Nian laughed in surprise, "You’re exaggerating, sir! How could it be!"

He smiled, opened his palm, extending his hand to her, "Take me with you."

She hesitated for a moment, looking up at him.

At this moment, he still bathed in the night, the ancient imposing castle still the background, yet... his gaze had completely changed.

No longer was he the gloomy man suitable for playing a vampire earl.

Even though he hasn’t lost his restraint in front of her, a warm light has already blossomed in his eyes, the color of human existence, a change that can only be brought about by love.

She carefully drew a breath, bit her lip, and still stepped forward to hold his hand.

"Alright, come with me tonight." She glanced back under the lights, her smile delicate and charming like a flower: "Although Cinderella rode a pumpkin carriage, even the pumpkin has been transformed by magic into a luxurious palace carriage. However, tonight, I want the real Earl to sit in a real, simple pumpkin carriage. We’re going to do things in reverse."

He laughed, held her hand in return, and wiped away her slightest hesitation in the palm of his hand.

He followed her steps with a smile: "Anyway, I’m not female, why should I be Cinderella? If you want an analogy, use ’The Prince and the Pauper’."

Shi Nian raised an eyebrow with a smile: "Alright, then please, my noble pauper."

.

Shi Nian’s Beetle started with great effort, finally speeding off after several attempts.

The driver, Senmu, and all the servants from the castle couldn’t help but rush out of the door, standing at the entrance, silently watching the Beetle reluctantly drive away, one by one only able to sigh without sound.

The gentleman has changed, no longer the gentleman of the past.

But only the gentleman’s previous demeanor could ensure his invincibility... but now, the gentleman for this woman has begun to unravel his armor, discarding his sharp weapons — such a gentleman would expose his heel like Achilles.

The gentleman surely understands this principle, just... he knows the danger yet still goes forward for this woman without hesitation.

Just like when the gentleman was young, the youth and the world outside the window, and her outside the window, separated by a pane. The window was thin, seemingly easy to break through, just requiring him to push hard to break the glass and rush outside, to her side.

But the window can also cause harm, and by forcefully rushing out, one may be cut by sharp shards and bleed profusely, even — if precisely hitting the right spot, it could be a fatal injury.

Previously, the gentleman hesitated to move forward, but now, he has finally decided to rush toward that window.

As for the scenery outside, the her beyond, is it worth it?

The glass is transparent, yet it can produce illusions the best. So if those beauty outside is all illusions, is what the gentleman doing still worthwhile?

.

The car drove far, Shi Nian was still cautiously observing the castle from the rear-view mirror, seeing if anyone would follow.

In contrast, Huangfu Huazhang sat straight and steady, not looking back even for a moment.

Seeing her somewhat distracted, he reached out to gently cover her small hand on the steering wheel.

Her hand was cold, he wasn’t surprised.

He chuckled softly: "Don’t worry about them. They’ve been with me for years and automatically become my caregivers, always worrying that I won’t take care of myself. They forget I’ve grown up and can walk steadily without a cane. Now, to me, the most important is you, not them."

Shi Nian’s heart slightly trembled, and she couldn’t help but turn her head to look at him.

"Sir, is it worth it?"

He smiled: "There’s not even a need to ask. I know what I’m doing; since I’ve done it, I’ll never regret it."

He also turned to meet her gaze: "The 23 years before meeting you were barren to me, living and dying were indifferent; the 12 years after, waiting for you by my side, time was long yet swift. Long because I had to wait until you finally realized my existence; swift because I had to complete all tasks in the shortest possible time so once you came beside me, I could abandon those mundane things and solely focus on being with you."

He fixed his gaze into hers: "... It’s not an exaggeration to say I’m living for you. So for you, nothing is burdensome, nor is anything questioned for its worth."

He gently swept aside the strands of hair on her forehead: "As long as I have you, everything is worthwhile."

Shi Nian’s throat choked up, and she nearly couldn’t steer the wheel, almost crashing into the rocks.

He laughed out loud, not out of panic, but indulgence. His wrist turned casually, guiding her to easily steer the wheel back.

Shi Nian was startled, hurriedly stepping on the brakes, staring at the pitch-black cliff, almost in tears.

He sighed lightly, drawing her into his embrace, gently patting her head.

"I’ve said, as long as I’m here, there’s nothing to fear. With me here, hush, it’s okay."
