Chapter 1195: Chapter 1195: My Only Stand Is You

Ming Qianyi looked at Han Jing, who was gazing at the starry sky, his eyes filled with fascination, reluctance, and a touch of struggle and helplessness.

Indeed, in his entire life, he had never encountered a woman who stirred his heart as she did. From the very first meeting, their chemistry seemed almost innate, beyond what words like "a hard-to-find encounter" could describe. He wasn’t a true gentleman; he wasn’t without desire to forcibly seize affection.

Yet he understood her too well; knew too clearly that if he crossed that line and did anything against the rules, she would leave without mercy, decisively. Then, their relationship would no longer be naturally harmonious but become one of complete estrangement until death.

She was truly a woman who invoked both love and hatred.

Love her intelligence and wisdom; hate her clear distinctions.

She was too clear about her own heart, knowing precisely where to stop in her relationships, never crossing the line, and would tell you plainly, without disguise, leaving no room for suspicion or ambiguity.

Therefore, as moved and as fond as he was of her, if he didn’t want to reach the worst outcome, he could only quietly watch her, doing nothing, which was the only thing he could do.

He was a businessman; in any matter, his first thoughts were always about gains and losses, instinctively weighing pros and cons. Yet, when it came to meeting her, he stood by her side regardless of gain or loss. From their first meeting, he knew she wasn’t from the Futu Realm, helping her might bring trouble to himself, but he still helped. On the second meeting, seeing Xiao Xue, he already knew she had ties with the Xia Clan. Upon meeting Su Yu, based on Xia Wu’s instinctive admiration, it was enough to discern Su Yu’s extraordinary identity. To command such reverence from Xia Wu, a young lady of Xia Li Island in the Futu Realm, Su Yu was likely to be the Clan Leader of the Xia Clan.

He mingled in various trades all year round, meeting many people and hearing many stories, so many of them he could understand and see through at a glance. If he wanted peace, he shouldn’t provoke Han Jing and her uncertain group. But he couldn’t help it; he had already made a decision without choosing.

He wanted to get close to her, regardless of gain and loss.

Yet he realized that he couldn’t bear the outcome of a total break with her, so his feelings could only end at this point, not daring to take another step.

One shouldn’t be too clear-headed, yet both he and Han Jing were too clear-headed.

He couldn’t afford the consequences of losing this affection, and she wouldn’t give him a fraction of extra hope. Both knew too well and understood too much, the ending was destined from the beginning.

"Jing’er, I originally had many things to say to you, but now, I feel none of it matters. Like this, Minghan Island will always be your support, even if one day a great war breaks out in the Futu Realm, my position will only be for you." This was probably the most irrational thing he had said in his life, but so what?

There must be someone in this world who makes you lose your sanity!

Han Jing’s body shuddered slightly. She knew, Ming Qianyi was betting the entire Minghan Island on her. She should refuse; she had always been someone who disliked owing favors. But...
