Chapter 2674: I’ll Show You My Heart

He kissed her deeply, every second pouring his true feelings into the kiss.

Jian Yufei didn’t resist, but she didn’t respond to him either.

Ruan Tianling’s kiss grew even deeper, searing hot—

Jian Yufei closed her eyes, her hands clenching tight, and she sadly realized that her heart was slowly melting.

He hadn’t explained anything yet, and she was already about to forgive him.

No, she couldn’t, she couldn’t be this humble...

Jian Yufei gave him a hard push, and Ruan Tianling let her go a little, not forcing it any further.

He nuzzled her nose with his, affectionately rubbing against it, his voice a gentle murmur.

"But I missed you so much, I missed you to the point my heart almost died..."

He took her hand and pressed it against his chest.

Ruan Tianling’s heartbeat was fast and strong.

Jian Yufei’s heart clenched, a current of electricity sliding through her whole body.

Ruan Tianling brushed a kiss against her lips. "Even if you don’t miss me, I still miss you so, so much. I’m back now, and from now on I never want to be separated from you again..."

Jian Yufei bit her lip, her gaze trembling.

Yeah, as long as he’s back, that should be enough. She shouldn’t be so hung up on everything.

But she couldn’t control herself; she couldn’t tolerate any more hiding.

"Ruan Tianling." Jian Yufei called his name.

"Mm, what is it?"

Jian Yufei looked straight into his eyes. "Can you still let me trust you unconditionally?"

Ruan Tianling suddenly tightened his grip on her hand, his tone extremely firm. "Of course I can! Always!"

"Really?"

"Do you want me to dig my heart out right now and show it to you?"

"..."

"Alright, I’ll dig it out for you right now."

Ruan Tianling pushed himself up, and a small knife slid into his hand.

He gripped the knife and stabbed it toward his chest.

Jian Yufei’s eyes flew wide; she shoved his hand away. "What are you doing?!"

Ruan Tianling’s expression was serious. "Taking my heart out so you can see it."

"Do you have a death wish?!"

Ruan Tianling pressed his lips together. "If you’re doubting my sincerity, I don’t mind using my life to earn your trust back."

"Are you blaming me for not trusting you enough?" Jian Yufei pushed herself up too.

Ruan Tianling shook his head. "That’s not what I mean. If you don’t trust me enough, that’s my fault too. I’m the one who made you feel that way. That’s exactly why I have to prove that I’m worthy of your trust."

Jian Yufei actually no longer doubted him.

"Enough, you don’t have to do this. Whether I should trust you or not—I know that in my heart."

Ruan Tianling thought she still didn’t trust him.

He put the knife into her hand. "You can peel my heart open yourself. I won’t complain at all."

The knife in her hand felt like a burning hot potato—

Jian Yufei immediately flung it away. "Trust isn’t something you prove like this! When we go back, you’re going to explain everything to me clearly. If you don’t make it clear, nothing you do will matter!"

Ruan Tianling understood how serious this was now.

He really didn’t want to talk about it, but if he didn’t, the consequences would be grave.

He drooped his head in dejection and nodded. "Alright, I promise you..."

Seeing him like this, Jian Yufei turned her eyes away, feeling awkward.

"Go to the banquet. I want to be alone for a bit."

Ruan Tianling suddenly pounced on her again, pinning her hands down. "I’m not going. I just want to stay with you for a while."

"There are so many people waiting for you. How can you not go?"

Ruan Tianling gazed at her with deep affection. "None of them are more important than you."

A faint blush flashed across Jian Yufei’s face.

Ruan Tianling was overjoyed at the sight. "Wife, I really want to kiss you right now. Is that okay?"

Jian Yufei bit her lip. Did he really need to ask for her permission for something like this?
