Chapter 14

She stopped moving as she panted heavily. He wiped the tears on the corner of her eyes with his fingertips.

"Feeling better?" He asked as he rubbed her cheek gently.

She nodded. "Tired... It's tiring."

Jin chuckled. "It's okay. I will use my fingers next time if you felt this way again."

He kissed her lips. He let her rest for a while. He told her to wait for him while he got her a set of clothes to wear. He returned quickly. He gave her the clothes. After which, he asked her to take a shower first. After she was done, he helped her dry her hair.

He took his shower while Qiuyue put on her clothes. After walking out of the shower room, he told her to wait for him as he got dressed in his walk-in closet. They left the room around 8 am and headed to the dining area for their breakfast.

All this while, Qiuyue was silent. There were a lot of things going on inside her head. Jin noticed this but refused to bring it up. He will let her deal with it and will only help if she asked.

After breakfast, he asked her to accompany him. He introduced her new room to her which was just opposite of his. He told her it would be easier for her to go to the Study.

While she was inside her new room looking around, she saw Jin entered her walk-in closet. She followed him and observed him silently. He was actually taking out some of her clothes even her under garments. She cannot help but asked. "Mr. Song, why are you taking my clothes?"

"I will put them in my walk-in closet." He answered without looking at her as he continued taking them out.

"Mr. Song, what for?" She asked as she approached him.

Jin gave her some clothes to carry. "Didn't I say that you will sleep with me in my bed from now on? So it is only natural that I put some of your clothes in my closet."

"Mr. Song, I have my own bed. I honestly do not think that it is appropriate to sleep in your bed." She voiced out.

He looked at her. He furrowed his brow. "You don't want to?"

Qiuyue was startled. She didn't know how to answer the question. Should she say yes? Wouldn't that make her shameless? He was her benefactor after all. If she said no, will he get mad? Will he take back his words before?

Seeing her being silent again, he flicked her forehead softly. "Yue, didn't you agree with me already? Didn't you agree that you will stay with me forever?"

"Mr. Song, I did agree but—"

"No but. Don't tell me you will go back on your words?" He frowned.

Seeing his frown, she worried more. "No! Never! I will never go back on my words!" She hastily said.

"So?" He was waiting for her to say it.

She swallowed her saliva. "Okay. I will sleep with you." She said seriously.

Jin almost stumbled when he heard her words and saw her serious expression. How can someone who wanted to take revenge and basically kill someone be so naive and slow when it comes to romantic relationship? And when she said the line, it seemed that it also meant something else. Jin thought that he will definitely have to work harder on this aspect.

He kissed her forehead. "Good girl. Yue, it is okay to sleep in the same bed with someone you like. So you will only sleep with me and I will only sleep with you. Okay?"

Qiuyue nodded. She eventually helped him in selecting the clothes and moving them to his room. After re-organising them in the walk-in closet, they headed to the Study.

"Mr. Song, what work will I be doing?" She asked. She was standing in front of his desk as if she was some secretary of a CEO who was ready to take orders from her Boss anytime.

Jin, who was sitting on his chair and doing some readings, looked at her. "You don't need to work anymore." He flatly stated.

She was basically his woman. Why would he still let her work under him? What kind of man will let his woman work?

Qiuyue frowned. "Mr. Song, I want to work. I want to be of help to you, our benefactor." She would only feel guilty and useless if he told her not to do anything at all.

"Yue, before the tragedy, what are you doing? What do you want to do? Your ambition or dream?" He asked. He pretty much understood her personality. She was a hardworker who always gave her best in everything she did. She was also the type who did not want to owe anyone anything.

She looked down and thought for a while. She was recalling her memories and filtering them.

Jin did not ask further and continued with his readings. He knew she will give him her own answers.

After a few minutes had passed, Qiuyue's eyes lit up. "Mr. Song."

"Hm." He put down the documents.

"My Father said that I am very good at German. He said that I am a good teacher too when I taught my elder siblings so I want to be a teacher." She smiled softly. "If I mastered the German language then maybe after earning some money, I can go to Germany and visit my Father's friend."

He smiled. He was to ask her something, but she spoke once more.

"I still want to be a teacher, but I do not know what I want to teach. However, when I read some books here about Housing Management, I realised that more than teaching, I wanted to focus on and work in this field."

She looked at him. "Mr. Song, you have seen our condition before and the current situation of housing here in H city. I do not want other people to experience it and to have a feeling that anytime, your house will be demolished and you will be homeless. It will make you unable to sleep at night at all."

She looked out the window, her eyes distant yet hopeful. "I lost my family along with my home in Ancestral City. I dreamt of rebuilding that city one day so that the people here can eventually go back to their homes. I, too, wish to return."

Jin was only gazing at her. Even if Qiuyue still had her unshakeable resolve to avenge her clan, she was still looking forward to what may lie ahead of her after this. He realised she, herself, refused to become a monster and be cold-blooded.

'Hm. Must be her continuous practice of swordmanship.' He speculated.

"Yue." He motioned her to come near him. She did as she's told. He held her hand and pulled her closer. He sat her on his lap, his hands hugging her waist. He pecked a kiss on her lips.

"Do you want to become a City Lord to rebuild D City?" He asked.

She frowned. "Is that the only way to rebuild it?"

He rubbed the corner of her lips, wanting to erase her frown. "Of course not. Other people can become the City Lord too, but I know Ancestral City meant a lot to you and to your brother. You have a kind heart and you only want the best for people so I think this path fits you well."

Her eyes lit up. "Mr. Song, do you think I can do it?"

He kissed her lips. "There will be a long road ahead of you but I know you can do it. I believe in you."

She looked down and smiled. "Thank you, Mr. Song."

He lifted her chin and kissed her lips. She rested her hands on his arms. "Mr. Song, there are a lot of things that I do not know. I had lived in D city that had refused to advance. Technology, industries, business, politics, society and many things, I do not know anything at all about them. I want to study and learn these things first and then when I am capable enough to work, I will work in Housing Management and try other jobs until I am qualified to become a City Lord."

"Okay. We will plan everything together." He said. Whatever she wanted to do, he will only support her. This will make her bind herself to him too.

Qiuyue smiled brightly. She looked down for a while, thinking. After which, she stole a kiss from him all of a sudden! And looked down once more, clearly feeling embarrassed!

Jin was not ready for it at all as he was stunned in his seat. He smiled, lifted her chin with his hand and showered her with his kisses in return.
