Bai Yaoyao minded those words a lot. Moreover, he had never told her what she meant to him.

Bai Yaoyaos tone was full of bitterness.

She turned her head away, refusing to look at Duan Yanhao any longer. She felt that her heart was simply too weak for being bothered by such a small matter.

She had no idea when Duan Yanhao had slowly crept into her heart, offering her warmth.

All in all, she simply enjoyed the days with his company. With him by her side, she had never felt lonely. Her misery had also dissipated.

Duan Yanhao looked at how upset Bai Yaoyao looked. As he gently caressed her cheeks, he lowered his head and whispered into her ear, Yaoyao, I have a past too, but thats all in the past. Would it bother you?

Bai Yaoyao listened to Duan Yanhaos words, and her heart wavered. He had a past too?

Why would Bai Yaoyao mind? She herself had a painful past and understood clearly how miserable it felt. She took the initiative to hug Duan Yanhao by his waist and answered, As long as you dont have any other woman by your side now, I wont mind.

Duan Yanhaos tensed expression softened greatly. I dont have any other woman now.

Bai Yaoyao nodded and tightened her hug around Duan Yanhaos waist. She wanted to give him some warmth because she knew how someone with a painful past would crave for warmth.

She thought that the two of them were both porcupines. They were lonely porcupines who wanted to get closer to each other. However, they were afraid that their spikes would hurt each other, and that the others spikes would hurt them. Therefore, they hadnt made any progress for such a long time.

Bai Yaoyao leaned closer to Duan Yanhaos waist and pouted. She was purposely targeting me by addressing you as brother-in-law.

Duan Yanhao lowered his head and kissed Bai Yaoyaos forehead. Caressing her cheeks, he whispered, Do you still remember the hill that I brought you to?

Yes.

Duan Yanhao continued rather painfully. That is where she is buried. She was an exceptional soldier who had sacrificed herself during a mission. It has already been six years. Even after six years, he still felt hurt thinking about it.

So youre that womans brother-in-law?

Ive been betrothed to her since I was a child. Her name is Chi Jiaojiao. Despite her dainty name, she didnt like dolling up but instead loved fighting. We were much more than fellow soldiers fighting side by side. I didnt care about anything else other than the military, and there was no love in my feelings for her. I thought that I would live the rest of my life with her, but I never thought that she would

After speaking those words, Duan Yanhaos voice turned heavy, and he sounded depressed.

Bai Yaoyao knew that Duan Yanhao must have gathered a lot of courage to be honest with her. After all, it was very painful to dig out his past.

Bai Yaoyao covered Duan Yanhaos lips and shook her head. Duan Yanhao, I believe you. You dont have to continue.

Yaoyao, Im sorry. Ive made you sad today.

No, Ive misunderstood you.

Duan Yanhao caressed Bai Yaoyaos hair and replied, But youve also frightened me today. Do you know how I felt when I couldnt find you?

Bai Yaoyao pouted and answered, I cant read your mind. How would I know?

Duan Yanhao took a deep breath and lowered his head to kiss Bai Yaoyaos lips. He didnt allow Bai Yaoyao to think at all and simply did it.

After that kiss, he couldnt control himself anymore. Her sweet taste enticed him, making him want to probe even deeper.

Bai Yaoyaos lips were full of Duan Yanhaos traces, and her head rang. She hadnt expected him to be so dominant without even asking her first!
