Chapter 329: Chapter 394

Xie Xuanchen grabbed them and locked them firmly in his palm.

“I have always felt that I never lacked anything, which is why I never persistently wanted anything. But today, I found out that I do have something.”

Mu Mingtang couldn’t pull her hands back and somehow, she didn’t dare to look at him, “Why are you talking about this all of a sudden?”

“I have regrets, but also obsessions. Life is impermanent and death is always there. If I die tomorrow, I have no complaints, but I will be very regretful,” Xie Xuanchen’s eyes were bright as his pupils shone under the light, making Mu Mingtang avoid his gaze, “I will regret that all I ever wanted was beside me all along, but I merely trapped myself in my thoughts and never properly tried to take the next step. I will also regret that I’ve only managed to confirm statements by cowardly eavesdropping on your conversations, but never made the effort to ask you about it in person.”

After Xie Xuanchen finished speaking, he looked at Mu Mingtang with burning eyes, “From this perspective, would you regret it?”

“If I were you, I would.”

Xie Xuanchen finally felt relieved when he heard this sentence. Sure enough, offence was the best defence. He should have taken the initiative to attack earlier instead of wasting so much time previously.

Mu Mingtang saw with her own eyes that Xie Xuanchen’s gaze suddenly lit up. It was as if the stars had exploded in his eyes with a burning beauty. Mu Mingtang faced Xie Xuanchen every hour of the day and logically, she should be used to seeing this. Nevertheless, the look he had today was straightforward and carried a bright passion to it, making her feel a bit surprised.

Mu Mingtang was still embarrassed by his stare and turned away slightly. Xie Xuanchen felt as if he was resurrected— his head didn’t hurt anymore, his words were no longer empty and he even had the urge to do some things that should be done between husband and wife immediately. He suppressed the screaming thoughts in his mind and asked tentatively, “Then, will we get along as husband and wife from now on?”

Mu Mingtang was silent for a while after listening to him before she suddenly looked at Xie Xuanchen in a strange manner, “Well, what did you think of me all this time?”
