C207 At the Beginning They Took Root in Their Hearts(2)

She never liked to be red faced because she thought it wouldn't solve anything. Moreover, it was difficult for people not to be torn apart. It was rare for people to become muddle-headed. However, today, she couldn't help but want to ask for clarification. Perhaps it was because of the questions related to her, or perhaps it was because she didn't want to be protected by him like this. She didn't know anything. It felt like she was excluded from his world. Other than what he wanted her to know, she knew nothing else.

Dongfang Jin tightened his arms and held her tightly in his arms. He used all his strength as if he wanted to knead her bones and blood. His voice was low and hoarse as he said with some injuries, "Lan Xuehan, it's not that I don't want to tell you. It's just that there are some things that I don't know how to tell you. Can't you be a little more patient with me? Do you know that for me, turning around so decisively is like the collapse of the entire world!

I never thought of hiding anything from you. I also know that you have abilities that are not inferior to mine. You have the pride that you cannot be trampled on. So, I never stopped you. Whatever you want to do, no matter how reluctant I am or how pained I feel... I have never stopped you! Just wait for me this time, alright? Let me sort out my thoughts, and I'll tell you after I've thought it through."

With such an injured tone, and with such a humble attitude, this caused Lan Xuehan's anger to dissipate in such a tone. She did not know when, but she could no longer bear to see him in such a sorry state. She could not bear to see him being tortured, nor could she see his pleading tone. She could not bear to see him lose even the slightest bit of his elegance.

Perhaps, her feelings for him had unknowingly become deeper than she had imagined! However, she was still willing to endure it! It seemed like she had really been poisoned. She had been poisoned by a poison called Dongfang Jin, and it had penetrated deep into her bones. It had taken root in her heart!

Lan Xuehan did not struggle. Instead, she slowed down her tone and calmly said, "Alright, Dongfang Jin. I will give you some time, but I want to know some questions. I hope you do not hide it from me!"

Hearing her words, Dongfang Jin's suffocating heart eased a little. What she said was also within his expectations. She was stubborn. She would not give up until she achieved her goal. This kind of concession was already her limit. It seemed like... This time, she had to tell her some truth to dispel her doubts!

Dongfang Jin did not relax his arms that were hugging her, as if the moment he let go of her, she would disappear. He was nervous about her. His voice was hoarse, and he said in a low voice, "Okay, tell me, I will not hide it from you!"

"Lan family is against me. Right?"

"Yes."

"Why is that so?" Lan Xuehan asked hesitantly because she was not sure if Dongfang Jin was willing to tell her.

Dongfang Jin was stunned for a moment and then said, "Lan Xuehan, there are some reasons that I cannot tell you. However, I can tell you that the Lan family is targeting you. Part of the reason is because you have the Zi Wei lattice. You are the Heavenly Lady that the four kingdoms have been looking for!" This was also the reason why the Lan family wanted her to return to her family.

Lan Xuehan paused for a moment. She did not expect that it would be because of this. What she did not expect was that Dongfang Jin actually knew about this. She had always thought that only that old man and she knew about this matter! Even Shangguan Lan did not know.

She suddenly turned around and looked into his eyes. Subconsciously, she asked, "Since you knew about it long ago, then... then to me... " Speaking up to this point, she actually had a fear that she could not continue asking!

She was afraid that all his tender feelings and honey were because of the proverb The one who gets the goddess gets the world. She was afraid that all his love was planned step by step, and he was afraid that all his feelings and feelings would be paid in the wrong way!

Dongfang Jin looked at her hesitant look and the emotions in her eyes. With a clever mind, he naturally understood what she wanted to ask. A trace of amusement rose in his suffocating heart. A trace of depression and a trace of anger!

His eyes, which were like clear spring water, flickered with a brilliant light. Then, he asked in a low voice, "Why don't you continue asking? Do you want to ask if my friendship with you is a scheme? Is it because of your identity as a goddess? "

His tone was calm, but it contained anger and mockery that he couldn't hide!

Lan Xuehan looked at him blankly. Her usually astute mind was now completely blank.

Seeing that she did not speak, Dongfang Jin suddenly laughed. The corner of his mouth curled up, but there was no trace of a smile. "Lan Xuehan, could it be that in your heart, I, Dongfang Jin, am such a useless person? Do you think that I would sacrifice my life's happiness for an unrealistic maxim? Lan Xuehan, why do you look down on me so much?" Every question he asked smashed heavily into Lan Xuehan's heart, shocking her back to her senses!

Hearing his words, her eyes were filled with shame, and her gaze shifted. She could not help but feel that she was too stupid to ask such a question.

During her time in the capital, she had been thinking about Dongfang Jin's means of thinking. She had seen them all. It had to be said that even she, a general who was called a genius girl in modern times, couldn't help but admire him. It could be seen how unfathomable his mind was! In this way, he didn't need a woman to scheme for the world at all. This was an insult to him. He was a born king!

Thus, even if he knew that she was the legendary goddess, with his pride, he would not use such a method to exchange for the hearts of the people in the world. In other words, Dongfang Jin's reputation among the people had far exceeded that of an illusory goddess!

After understanding all this, she could not help lowering her head and said, "I'm sorry! I was thinking too much. But how did you know?"

Although Dongfang Jin was depressed, the current atmosphere was clearly not suitable to bicker with her. He followed her apology and did not say anything else.

" Did you forget? You and I are from the same sect. I naturally know what Master knows, and it's not worse than him! Actually, when Master went down the mountain to pick you up, I already knew!"
