Earl Hilar’s mansion ushered in a distinguished guest who Earl Kerry valued very much. While the maid was cleaning in the front hall, she saw the usually gloomy earl smiling and leading an otherworldly handsome man into the front hall.
“This is the front hall of the mansion. If you are tired, you can rest here. If you want to eat and drink anything, just ask the maid to do it.”
Kerry took Qi Yan’s hand and sat down on the sofa, calling the maid: “Go make a pot of black tea.”
The maid answered and retreated, as she was leaving, she glanced at Qi Yan curiously several times. After all, this man was handsome and was treated like this by the Earl, so it was inevitable that she was a little curious.
After the maid left, Kerry smiled again and coquettishly said to Qi Yan: “Do you like it here? If you like it, you can always stay here and treat it as your own home!”
——Everything here was for you and I would give it to you.
Qi Yan took a serious look around and said thoughtfully: “It’s too gorgeous.”
“Don’t you like this?” Kerry hurriedly said, “I don’t like it either! It just so happens that I want to renovate this place!”
“Kerry, you have to follow your own heart.” Qi Yan looked at him seriously and said, “Don’t worry about me, I can live anywhere.”
“But I want to make you happy.”
Kerry’s words left Qi Yan speechless. Kerry was always thinking of him. Just as he was about to move away from the topic, a dignified and gentle female voice suddenly came from the stairs behind him.
“Oh, there are guests at home.”
Nasha walked down from the second floor, her delicate face was dusted with white powder, revealing her rosy cheeks, her lips were also smeared with lipstick, giving out the aura of a noble woman.
Qi Yan felt that Kerry’s face became gloomy the moment he saw Nasha.
Nasha walked in front of Qi Yan with the steps of an elegant lady, looking down at him with the air of a mistress.
“I’m Kerry’s wife, Nasha Hilar.” After speaking, she gave a lady-like bow: “We are not prepared for your sudden visit. How rude of us.”
Qi Yan replied without changing his expression: “It’s not a sudden visit, Kerry knew it a long time ago. There’s no need to feel rude.”
Originally, it was just because there were distinguished guests coming to the house, yet she did not receive any notice from Kerry. Nasha, who was angry, came here to be irritate Kerry, she didn’t expect to be choked by Qi Yan. Only then did Nasha looked at Qi Yan with a serious expression, looking carefully up and down.
This man was very handsome, not like a human, but like an elf. Yet he didn’t have pointed ears, but he had crystal blue eyes… he was not an elf, nor a vulgar race like goblins or dwarves.
Nasha calculated shrewdly in her heart and made a gesture on her face: “It turns out that Kerry knew it a long time ago!”
“Hmm.” Qi Yan responded. He turned to look at Kerry and asked, “Your wife?”
Kerry’s complexion turned darkened as he pondered for a moment and nodded gently.
“So she is. But didn’t you tell her about bringing me here?”
Kerry looked away: “There is no need.”
Such outright disgust made Nasha’s face pale, she stared at Kerry with gritted her teeth and said, “Kerry, the guest is still there!”
In Nasha’s impression, externally, Kerry still needs to give her face.……
However, Kerry’s following words almost gave her a blow in the head.
“A-Yan is not a guest.” Kerry glanced at her coldly: “Compared to you, A-Yan and I are much closer.”
“A man?!” Nasha’s voice suddenly raised extremely sharply.
Kerry stood up unhappily and refuse to speak to Nasha. He pulled Qi Yan up and walked towards the second floor.
“Kerry!”
Nasha called his name behind them.
“Kerry! I want you to stop!”
Kerry didn’t stop in the slightest, seemingly letting her make such a scene.
There were more and more maids and butlers hiding behind the curtains and in the corners, pointing and whispering at Nasha.
Nasha gasped angrily, she watch their backs as they leave unable to calm down for a long time.
Kerry took Qi Yan to the bedroom he cleaned quickly this morning. He locked the door after entering and then turned around and hugged Qi Yan.
Burying his face in Qi Yan’s neck, Kerry sniffed deeply the unique scent on his body.
“Kerry?” An uncertain voice rang out.
Kerry hugged Qi Yan tightly, his hot breath sprayed his neck: “Let me hold you for a while.”
——I want to hug you, I’ve been thinking about it for two years.
Qi Yan hugged him back and did not speak, he quietly waited for his mood to calm down.
A person of Kerry’s character did not need sympathy and attention, but companionship.
Quiet company was enough, and it was because of this that Kerry was attracted to Qi Yan.
“A-Yan……”
After a long time, Kerry’s sad and hollow tone resounded through the room.
“I love you so much.”
——I love you so much. Love so much that I can’t help myself. I really want to stay like this, holding you for the rest of my life… With you in my arms, only in my arms.
“Kerry……”
“You said you love me too, say it quickly, I’m waiting.”
Kerry didn’t know what it was like in his heart, he could only feel the bitterness passing through his throat and gradually flowing into his bloodstream.
——Say you love me quickly, or else… I don’t know what I will do.
Qi Yan’s eyes were blank, he faintly looked at the gorgeous silverware furnishings on the cupboard in the distance, the hand covering Kerry’s back slowly fell.
“Kerry, you have a wife.”
It was a fact that sent Kerry to hell and could not turn back.
Kerry’s eyes dimmed. They turn as deep as obsidian, it was so dark that it was impossible see the emotions in them clearly.
“This is not what I want, A-Yan…” The pleading and panic just disappeared, Kerry’s voice suddenly calmed down, he was unable to hear the emotions in it: “This is not the marriage I want. I love you, I want you.”
“Kerry, where there’s a start, there’s an end 1有始有终: where there’s a start, there’s a finish (idiom); to finish once one starts sth / to carry things through / I started, so I’ll finish..” Qi Yan persuaded softly: “Your wife, she may be more dependent on you than you think.”
“It has nothing to do with me!” Kerry’s voice suddenly became frantic as he gripped Qi Yan’s shoulders, his black eyes staring at him dead in the face: “Why are you talking for her like this?! She has nothing to do with you no matter what! All you have to do is look at me!”
It was as if his shoulders were clamped by iron pliers, Kerry used all his strength making Qi Yan frown in pain: “Kerry, you…”
”A Yan…” Suddenly, Kerry’s attitude softened again. He looked at Qi Yan cautiously, his apologetic voice with a trace of crying: “I’m sorry…I’m sorry, I must’ve hurt you… I’m sorry, don’t be angry with me…”
This change made Qi Yan have a bad feeling in his heart. He slowly pushed Kerry’s hand away and took two steps back to keep his distance.
“Kerry, you are too tired and need to rest.”
“A-Yan……”
The puppy-like low voice made Qi Yan’s heart tremble slightly, Kerry raised his head and Qi Yan was frozen.
That handsome and resolute face was covered with tears, drop by drop, falling to the ground, as if hitting Qi Yan’s heart.
——This man was crying.
