Guide To Train My Beast Husbands-Chapter 279: Regret It Later On (II)

"Because..." Ruan Chanchan paused, not knowing how to answer from here. She thought of the time when Xie Daiyu came running to save her even when he didn’t need to. Suddenly, she felt a bit embarrassed because she had once thought of using this mer as her shield and in return, this mer had never done anything other than take care of her. "Because I am not shameless enough to break your heart. Since I choose you, I will never turn my back on you."

She ended up blurting those words before she could stop them, surprising even herself. Why did she say those words? What was she even thinking?

Sometimes people speak what they have buried in their hearts when they are vulnerable.

Xiao Xi didn’t know how else to comfort Ruan Chanchan. He knew that she was rather torn at the moment, but maybe somewhere deep in her heart, she had started to feel something for this mer. It was nearly impossible for her to stay stoic when Xie Daiyu had been chasing after her all this while. No one could remain unmoved in the face of someone who wanted nothing else other than loving them.

And Ruan Chanchan, who had never been loved – how could she not be moved by the passionate pursuit that Xie Daiyu had shown her?

Upon hearing her words, Xie Daiyu let out a weak laugh; he knew that what the woman was saying was indeed the truth but he didn’t know why he couldn’t believe what she was telling him. Was he really worthy of not being abandoned? Shao Xia had once said something similar. She told him that she truly cared for him and would never hurt him but in the end, what did she do? She left him alone to suffer.

She nudged his knee with hers. "You don’t need to decide the worth of my loyalty, alright?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Xie Daiyu felt his chest tighten. "...you...you are really not leaving?"

She smirked and kicked him lightly. "Of course not. Not unless you want me to leave you." Ruan Chanchan didn’t want to hurt this poor mer. He looked traumatised, as if he was worried that she would disappear any second now. She sighed and patted him on the head before saying to him, "If you get bored of me, then you can always ask me to leave and I will do just that."

Just as Xie Daiyu thought, Ruan Chanchan would one day leave him for a match that was better than him; she also thought that Xie Daiyu’s potential was wasted by staying with her. She was not a totem warrior and no one knew how long it would take for her to awaken. Since that was the case, why would he stay with her? Maybe it would have been better if he chose someone else. Someone stronger and much more influential than her.

As he was going to be the chief of the tribe in the future, was it even worth wasting his time on her?

While she was lost in her thoughts, the mer on the ground reached out and hugged her in his arms. His heat exploded right against her, as the clothes that they wore were not enough to hold back the warmth of the mer. More importantly, as a totem warrior, this mer was much warmer than the mers of her world.

"I will never regret choosing you," Xie Daiyu spoke in a low voice. He was speaking the truth; he would never, not once, regret choosing her because when he was dwindling like a flickering flame, it was she who gave him a reason to live. If not for finding out that Ruan Chanchan was his destined one, maybe he would have never been able to get back on his feet right away because he could have never accepted Shao Xia waltzing around him like that with her new partner.

Ruan Chanchan was surprised when she heard the words of the mer. She blinked her eyes and looked down at the person who was hugging her like she was his last straw while he was drowning in the river. His grasp on her was way too tight and it made the entire situation even more electrifying. Ruan Chanchan pursed her lips, wanting to push the mer away as she could feel her head going dizzy. Because Xie Daiyu was leaning against her, his lips were pressed against her neck; as he spoke and moved, those soft lips would brush against her skin.

His actions made her jolt and her breathing turned a bit faster and heated.

"Daiyu, move back a little."

Ruan Chanchan had a feeling that if the two of them didn’t stop right now, there was a very good chance that things might become more and more tangled.

However, when Xie Daiyu saw her reactions, his eyes darkened; at that moment, he did not care whether Ruan Chanchan would hate him or not. At that moment, he only wished to make her his. His eyes darkened as he skimmed his lips against her skin again and watched her suck in a breath. However, as he tentatively waited for his destined one to push him away, he realised that she wasn’t doing that. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

That gave a boost to his morale. He raised his hand and with the tips of his fingers skimmed the edges of her curves. His fingers brushed against her thighs, her waist and under her bosom.

"Daiyu..."

Ruan Chanchan reached out and caught his wrist. Her breathing had turned laborious as she breathed in and out of her mouth before saying to Xia Daiyu, "Do you even know what you are doing?" she had a feeling that the mer was doing this because he was filled with a feeling of despondency; he was worried that she would leave him and that was the reason why he was doing this.

Ruan Chanchan didn’t want him to make a mistake. Wanting her now only to regret it later on.
