Chapter 543 Worthy (2)
Jin Yun laughed. “What does it matter? The kindness you showed me gave me new life. I didn’t dare to tell you my feelings back then because I wasn’t qualified to, but now I have power!”
His voice had been raised a little. That hint of arrogance is something the old Jin Yun did not have.
He was the kind who only got his confidence from what he had. For example, when he amassed enough wealth, he would become generous. When he amassed enough power, he would become arrogant. Now, Jin Yun was heading towards the latter.
But what she never expected is that Jin Yun would change so much because of her!
She had no idea that Jin Yun’s mood had become so bad after she left that even his mother didn’t dare to get close to him! He would only have changed this way from the constant unresolved repression.
Face stiff, Gong Yimo said, “Maybe you’ve just grown dependent on me because I helped you. This isn’t love. In my heart, you’re only a big brother to me, nothing more.”
Her words caused Jin Yun’s pupils to shrink!
In fact, he had also wondered in the beginning what he would do if he confessed his feelings and Mo’er rejected him. It felt disorienting and hard to accept.
But right now, his heart ached, and even more, he couldn’t stand for it!
He has already obtained so much, become a man above all others. So why could others have that he couldn’t have?
So, once more he grabbed Gong Yimo’s hand, asking urgently.
“Am I no good? What part of me do you not like? I can change!” His voice gradually lowered. “You can’t imagine what kind of life I’ve been living during this time. The prince’s mansion used to be the place I longed to return to. But without you, that place just feels lifeless...
“It was you who encouraged me when I failed, who saved me when I was hurt, who pointed the way for me when I was troubled. Your shadow lingers over every part of me in those past three years! Why do you have to be so cruel to me?! If you couldn’t belong to me, then why would you allow me to meet you?”
Gong Yimo couldn’t answer his sorrowful words at all.
But suddenly, a burst of killing intent emerged!
Gong Yimo quickly pushed Jin Yun away and retracted her hand. Right there on the ground is a quivering branch with its tip stabbed straight into the stone slab. If Gong Yimo had been just a second late, that branch would have pierced through Jin Yun’s hand!
“Who’s there?!”
Jin Yun’s expression was cold. Looking up, his body was now emanating with danger and fury! He truly had become different from the man he once was.
Gong Jue walked out from the shadows.
His deep black robe blended into the dark night and both his fair face and his dark eyes looked cold under the moonlight. But when those solemn eyes fell on Jin Yun, it came with a murderous aura behind them!
“Gong Jue...”
Gong Yimo was confused. Didn’t he go back? Why would he be here? And no matter how she thought about it, it was awkward for him to have caught them at such a moment.
At this moment, Gong Jue walked step by step towards Gong Yimo’s side. She was still wearing the brocade black and red two-piece from earlier, so it complemented Gong Jue’s black robes well, as if they were a pair made in heaven.
Jin Yun subconsciously narrowed his eyes dangerously.
“King of Qi, is it? Why did you suddenly take a shot at me? Is this how your Dayu treats your guests?”
But Gong Jue didn’t even spare him a glance when he said that. He only looked at Gong Yimo silently. Then, he lowered his head to plant a gentle kiss on her forehead.
Under Jin Yun’s widened gaze, Gong Jue’s voice seemed to be chocked full of ice.
“Because you’ve violated a taboo. She...is my woman.”
