Astral Flower-Chapter 631: Answer

Nan Hua and Long Qian Xing stayed silent.

Both of them were stubborn.

Long Qian Xing looked at Nan Hua, waiting for her answer. The knife was still resting by his neck and no matter what answer Nan Hua had, he would accept it.

Even if he had to pay with his life, he accepted it.

Because he knew that he was the one who come to provoke her.

Nan Hua looked straight at Long Qian Xing and asked, "Why are you so persistent?"

"Because I love you."

Nan Hua’s heart trembled along with her eyes, but her body remained firm. No matter how shaken she was inside with the growing feelings, she would never let it truly affect her.

Because she knew very well that what awaited her would be nothing more than death.

At least, that was how it was in the past.

Now, she could choose what kind of life she wanted to tread.

But she didn’t want them to...

Nan Hua closed her eyes for a moment and then looked straight at Long Qian Xing. "What do you even see from me that makes you so persistent, Long Qian Xing?"

Long Qian Xing blinked his eyes and smiled sincerely. "Everything."

Everything?

"Your strong perseverance, your fake performance, your smile, your duplicity..." Long Qian Xing paused and looked straight at Nan Hua. "I want to be by your side and see you smile from your heart."

He had never seen her genuinely smile and it has become Long Qian Xing’s sore point. He wanted to see it.

See her smile from the bottom of her heart.

And if it was possible.... He wanted to be the reason.

Nan Hua’s eyes trembled.

Facing Long Qian Xing who gave out his entire heart to her, presenting it so openly as if to let others take advantage of him... made Nan Hua truly couldn’t do anything.

Saying she was not moved would be a lie.

Because she knew very well that it was because of Long Qian Xing’s care and action all these times when she was by his side that she was moved.

His actions were small and seemed to be negligible.

But she could see his care.

He respected her decision and didn’t interfere with it. In the past, he never knew the real her and thus, he kept his distance and tried to get close slowly but surely.

But now that he already knew her identity...

He wanted to be by her side, no matter whether she wanted it or not.

If she didn’t allow it, Nan Hua knew that Long Qian Xing would still figure out a way to follow her through some ways.

It’s truly...

"You’re such a fool," Nan Hua murmured and released the knife from Long Qian Xing’s neck and jumped back, keeping a distance between the two of them.

Long Qian Xing only smiled in Nan Hua’s direction, without any difference whether there was a knife on his neck or not. It seemed as if he was willing to hand over his life to Nan Hua if she truly wanted it.

And this action...

Looked extremely stupid in Nan Hua’s eyes.

"Your sincerity... is really annoying, Long Qian Xing," Nan Hua said slowly.

Long Qian Xing heard Nan Hua’s words and laughed lightly. He knew very well that there were not many people who were willing to give out their entire heart to someone else.

Because it meant that they would be handing over their life to someone else.

Letting them be the one to control their heart.

But Long Qian Xing didn’t care.

Because he only wanted Nan Hua in his entire life.

From the moment he lost Nan Hua, he realized that he had put Nan Hua on the cusp of his heart. He never wanted to let her go, not in the slightest bit. So even if he had to trade his entire life for it, he just wanted to stay by her side and see her smile from the bottom of her heart.

And if there was another life... he hoped he could do it again.

To make her smile, to make her happy.

"I’m not worth it," Nan Hua said slowly.

Long Qian Xing arched his eyebrows and chuckled. "Whether you’re worth it or not, it’s up to me to decide. If I feel you’re worth it, then you’re truly worth it."

Nan Hua’s eyes trembled once more.

She wanted to tell Long Qian Xing that he’s a fool.

A stupid fool!

For so many years, Nan Hua always buried whatever she felt deep in her heart because she didn’t want to feel more pain. The organization had always taught her to close up her heart.

Because if she didn’t, what greeted her would be nothing more than pain.

Again and again.

Everything was engraved to her heart, making sure she understood the consequences of disobeying the organization more than anyone.

Nan Hua always kept her heart protected.

She didn’t want to be moved.

But love is really unreasonable.

When it came, it just couldn’t be stopped. All the defenses in one’s heart was useless against it.

Everyone always said that people in love have negative IQ.

And Nan Hua believed it.

"What do you want to do now, Long Qian Xing?" Nan Hua asked slowly, looking at the man in front of her.

"Return to the mansion and let you take a bath," Long Qian Xing answered solemnly. "Whatever plan you have, it can wait until after you clean up, right?"

Her plan...

Her grudge with the Mega Organization is not over yet and the war was far from over.

Staring at Long Qian Xing in front of her, she saw him stretched his hand towards her as if inviting her to come with him.

Nan Hua stared at Long Qian Xing’s hand.

A completely different hand from her, bigger, muscular and more tanned due to the exposure to sun during training.

Slowly, Nan Hua stretched her hand and held Long Qian Xing’s hand.
