CHAPTER 44: CHAPTER 44: WILL YOU COME WITH ME?

Wu Xuan’s gaze was firm, and after wiping away his tears, he leaned in closer.

After almost suffocating just now, Wen Shu was completely frightened of him. She covered his mouth with her hands and asked, "Wu Xuan, what’s wrong with you? What do you mean by discard or not discard?"

If they really became partners and Wu Xuan was abandoned, he would never find another female and his only fate would be to become a mindless mutant beast.

He was practically going crazy to even have such thoughts!

Wen Shu’s face was full of confusion and blame, making Wu Xuan momentarily stunned. Could it be that the female hadn’t thought of abandoning him?

His expression turned tense, and he finally voiced the words he had held back all night, "Why would you rather accept that stranger as your Beast Husband than look at me even once..."

He glanced at Wen Shu’s face, noticing her growing bewilderment, a faint hope arising in his heart, "Do you really hate me that much?"

After speaking, he furrowed his brow slightly, a trace of hurt flashing in his eyes as he stared unwaveringly at the female before him.

Under his dim gaze, Wen Shu inexplicably felt like she had deceived the male’s feelings.

But when had she ever said she hated Wu Xuan?

And who was this stranger...

Lucius’s face flashed through Wen Shu’s mind, and she immediately understood what Wu Xuan was talking about.

She looked at Wu Xuan’s face, seeing his melancholy gaze, with tears being wiped away too forcefully, even scraping the corner of his eye, and helplessly leaned closer to him, softly explaining, "Wu Xuan, I don’t hate you."

She raised her hand, brushing past the corner of Wu Xuan’s eye, meeting his suddenly enlarged golden eyes, and earnestly said, "There’s simply no possibility between Lucius and me. I said those things just to get rid of him as soon as possible."

Lucius is the male lead, and she avoids those important characters in the storyline like the plague, how could she possibly provoke him.

Afraid Wu Xuan wouldn’t believe her, she added, "I don’t even want to see him."

Hearing her gentle and sincere words, Wu Xuan’s suffocating heart finally found a trace of relief.

So that’s how it was.

His brows unfolded, the darkness in his eyes faded away, and a smile bloomed on his face, "I thought..."

The female’s gentle fingertips lightly tapped on his face, her tone reproachful, "Thought what? In the future, just tell me anything directly. Aren’t you afraid that I might really do what you said, at the cost of my own life?"

Feeling the softness on the side of his face, Wu Xuan’s heart lightened a bit, and with a slightly presumptuous smile, he said, "As long as you don’t leave me."

As soon as he spoke, his smile stiffened, and he immediately regretted it.

How could he blurt it out! What if the female really rejected him, how could he stick around her?

His knuckles turned white, gripping the fur blanket tightly, and he glanced at the female secretly.

She had just finished treating him and sat back by the bedside. Seeing him looking at her evasively, a trace of a smile spread in her eyes, and she promised, "Mm, I won’t leave you."

Her unexpected answer left Wu Xuan completely stunned in place.

He gazed blankly at the female, almost not believing his ears!

Did the female agree?

She agreed!

Wu Xuan excitedly jumped off the bed, sweeping Wen Shu into his arms with his long arms and twirled in place several times.

Wen Shu was so dizzy from the spinning that she fell back onto the bed.

Wu Xuan’s enlarged handsome face suddenly drew near, his furry hair grazed in front of her eyes, and he kissed her face several times, leaving her face soggy with saliva.

Wen Shu couldn’t withstand such enthusiasm, quickly raised her hand to push away his face, and stopped him, "Wait, I, I haven’t finished speaking yet!"

This time the male was well-behaved, sitting up straight on one side, eyes earnestly waiting for her next words, with a confident and satisfied expression, "Go ahead, I’m listening to you."

All of a sudden, Wen Shu seemed to be back to the day she first met him, the confident male saying he wanted to be her Beast Husband.

She couldn’t help but curl her lips, but when she thought of what she wanted to say, her face became serious again, "After this winter, I plan to leave Alentia."

Unexpectedly hearing her say this, Wu Xuan was a bit surprised and asked, "Why? Where are you going?"

He was not confident in this moment of mutual understanding, subconsciously still thinking the female would abandon him.

Wen Shu saw the panic in his eyes and smiled helplessly.

Leaning in closer, she gently grasped the male’s hand, staring into his beautiful golden eyes, and asked, "I can’t tell you the reason now, you just have to tell me, are you willing to follow me?"

Wu Xuan’s eyelashes trembled as he gazed into her amber eyes, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

The female’s voice was firm and gentle, inquiring about his willingness.

And Wu Xuan’s mind had only one thought, she was willing to let him follow, she truly accepted him!

Wu Xuan’s heart was filled to the brim, a warm sensation rising in his nose, without thinking he nodded, "I’m willing."

His unhesitating response made Wen Shu pause for a moment.

She had thought, even if Wu Xuan liked her, he would hesitate for a few seconds, after all, he still had family in the Alentia Empire.

But his reaction gave her the illusion...as if no matter what she wanted to do, wherever she wanted to go, Wu Xuan would agree without hesitation and was even willing to give everything for it.

Wen Shu’s heart gently collapsed a piece, somewhat at a loss avoiding Wu Xuan’s gaze, "Mm, if you come with me then, we..."

She pursed her lips, awkwardly skimming over these few words, "Let’s become partners, I’m tired and want to sleep."

Having said that, she lifted the fur blanket to hide herself in, performing a one-second fall asleep act.

And hearing her words, Wu Xuan still sat there dazed by the bedside.

He gazed through the intoxicating night at Wen Shu, the corners of his eyes gradually dyed with a smile, his mouth seeming to hold a honeyed candy, "Goodnight, female..."

He paused, and only after a while did he suddenly realize, "I’m now the female’s soon-to-be Beast Husband, so I should be able to call the female by name, right?"

Wen Shu heard his deliberately amplified voice and her lips curved, really pretending.

She didn’t negate his idea, but after waiting for half a day still didn’t hear him say it out loud, so she closed her eyes, preparing to catch up on sleep.

In her sleep, she vaguely heard Wu Xuan’s lingering whisper, "Can I call you Ashu..."

A good night’s sleep, Wen Shu had a sweet dream. She dreamed of successfully escaping the plot and starting a new life with Wu Xuan and Nan in a new country!

When she woke up again, the beautiful atmosphere of the dream still hovered at her heart’s tip.

She sat on the bed, reminiscing for a long time, then rubbed her face and prepared to wash up.

Gathering the beast skin tightly, she stretched lazily as she walked towards the outer hall, but suddenly heard people talking outside.

"I said, the female is still sleeping, if you have something, come next time."

Always gentle, Nan, rarely had a tone that was somewhat unfriendly.

And the person being ushered out showed no awareness, dragging out their tone, speaking warmly, "I can wait, it doesn’t matter how long."

It’s the male lead!

Hearing it was Lucius, Wen Shu turned on her heel, wanting to head back into the cave.

But Lucius had already spotted her, and immediately walked over, teasingly saying, "Wen Shu, going back to sleep again, are we?"
