Chapter 245: Chapter 245 Regretting the Impulse at That Time

Rong Shaoze’s gaze dimmed slightly, but he didn’t mind too much, and helped her to some more greens.

"If you don’t like fish, eat more greens."

Lin Xinlan also threw the greens onto the table.

Lao Gu couldn’t stand it anymore and wanted to speak up, but when he met the young master’s indifferent gaze, he swallowed the words that had reached his throat.

Rong Shaoze stopped serving her food, and Lin Xinlan ate half a bowl before heading straight upstairs to rest.

After a while, he followed her in.

She leaned against the headboard, reading a novel, the light from only one lamp on, which made it a bit dark and not good for the eyes.

Rong Shaoze turned on a few more lights, but he didn’t speak.

Taking his pajamas, he went to the bathroom to shower. Lin Xinlan put down the novel, changed clothes, and lay down on the bed, rolled over to cover herself with the blanket, and closed her eyes to sleep.

She didn’t want to face Rong Shaoze, so she could only pretend to be asleep before he came out.

Lin Xinlan didn’t know how long Rong Shaoze had showered for; anyway, she had dozed off by the time he came out.

In a daze, she felt someone lie down behind her, and she suddenly woke up, but her eyes remained shut. Rong Shaoze turned off the light and lay still against her.

Lin Xinlan didn’t let her guard down, and after a while, a pair of arms wrapped around her waist from behind, and his face followed, burying into the nook of her shoulder.

Lin Xinlan’s body stiffened slightly, and Rong Shaoze noticed, asking softly, "Did I wake you up?"

"..."

"Xinlan, let’s talk," he spoke softly, his voice carrying a distinctive magnetism and huskiness.

"..." Lin Xinlan did not move, not even lifting an eyelid.

Rong Shaoze knew she was pretending to sleep, he sighed, tightened his arms, and pulled her in a little closer.

Smelling her clean scent, his heart felt a sense of tranquillity, as if he had found a harbor to dock.

He had thought a lot these past few days; in fact, he was already very regretful for his impulsivity back then.

It was because he didn’t trust her enough, was too suspicious, that he made such a foolish mistake.

But he was too angry, consumed with rage to the point of losing all reason, which is why he hurt her.

He didn’t know how to explain it, and in any case, things had already happened, and no amount of explanation would do any good.

Now, all he could do was to try and mend the relationship between them that had only just started to improve, as long as Lin Xinlan could forgive him, could start over with him.

He was willing to accept punishment, willing to pay the price he owed...

But the price must not include losing her.

The mere thought of losing her made Rong Shaoze’s heart clench, leaving him with an indescribable pain.

He tightened his arms even more, as if she would disappear the next second.

He clung to her body tightly, like a drowning person who has finally grasped a piece of driftwood, holding on for dear life, refusing to let go.

Lin Xinlan was finding it increasingly difficult to breathe, and his grip was causing her pain. Unable to continue pretending, she opened her eyes and spoke coldly, "Rong Shaoze, are you trying to choke me to death?"

The man suddenly came to his senses, loosening his grip a little but not completely.

He turned her body to face him, their eyes meeting in the darkness of the night.

"Xinlan..." he called her name softly, "Xinlan, Xinlan..."

He never found this name particularly appealing before, so why did it sound so pleasant now?

Merely calling out her name brought an indescribable sense of happiness.

Lin Xinlan frowned slightly, cutting off his infatuated murmur coldly, "Are you crazy, why keep calling me? Rong Shaoze, if you’re not going to sleep, don’t disturb my sleep."
