Chapter 438 Confession
The setting sun dyed the sky blood red, and the afterglow slanted down on the dilapidated old house.
Perhaps she was tired of crying, Ye Xiaoxiao gradually calmed down in Lin Chuan's arms, her tense body slowly relaxed, no longer trembling, only long and gentle breathing remained.
Lin Chuan didn't say anything, but just hugged her quietly, letting the breeze lift his sleeves, turning this silent companionship into the most solid support.
After a moment, Ye Xiaoxiao slowly stood up from Lin Chuan's arms and gave him a faint smile, her voice still hoarse: "I'm sorry to trouble you again, young master. Let's go back to the Demon Emperor's Palace."
"If you want to stay a little longer, I can stay with you."
Lin Chuan's eyes were gentle, revealing undisguised concern.
"No need, the two sisters are still waiting for the young master."
Ye Xiaoxiao shook her head gently, a playful smile on the corner of her lips, her black hair swaying slightly with her movements, mostly hiding the melancholy that lingered in her eyes.
"..."
Lin Chuan was silent for a moment, and a complex look flashed in his deep eyes.
Finally, he slowly reached out his hand, gently took Ye Xiaoxiao's hand, and then led her out of the house. The setting sun stretched their shadows into long slender shapes.
"Son."
On the way to the demon clan's palace, Ye Xiaoxiao, who had always kept her head down and let Lin Chuan hold her hand, suddenly called out softly.
"what happened?"
Lin Chuan turned his head, frowned slightly, and looked at Ye Xiaoxiao with doubt.
"No...nothing..."
Ye Xiaoxiao's voice was as thin as a mosquito, and her head hung even lower.
At this moment, Ye Xiaoxiao recalled the scenes that happened in the courtyard, and her cheeks suddenly flushed.
"Ye Xiaoxiao, Ye Xiaoxiao, how can you say that the young master is your fiancé in front of your mother? What if he hates me..."
"But the young master didn't seem to say anything, and he even hugged me..."
"My dear Sir, your embrace was so warm at that time. I loved it so much. I wish I could stay in your arms forever..."
……
Countless thoughts, like tangled silk threads, entangled repeatedly in her mind.
Finally, her gaze stopped wandering, and a bright and determined flame ignited in her eyes.
"Son."
Ye Xiaoxiao called out again
"How……"
Lin Chuan turned his head away, the second half of the sentence suddenly stuck in his throat.
What came into view was no longer the petite and lovely Ye Xiaoxiao from before. At this moment, she had a slender and graceful figure, her eyes were as affectionate as spring water, and her whole body was surrounded by an alluring charm.
"Is it nice?"
Ye Xiaoxiao bit her lower lip lightly, her eyes full of anxiety and anticipation.
"..."
Lin Chuan came back to his senses and quickly looked away. With a hint of unnaturalness on his face, he said softly, "It looks good."
A hint of surprise flashed in Ye Xiaoxiao's eyes, her cheeks flushed slightly, and her tone was filled with shyness and anticipation: "Then..."
"Both looks good."
Lin Chuan had a gentle smile on his lips, looked at her softly, and spoke before her.
"..."
Ye Xiaoxiao was slightly stunned, then shook her head gently and lowered her eyes: "That's not what I wanted to ask."
"Then Xiaoxiao wants to..."
Before Lin Chuan finished speaking, Ye Xiaoxiao suddenly stopped.
She raised her head and looked directly at Lin Chuan with a burning gaze. Although her voice trembled slightly, every word was clear: "Can I be your Taoist companion?"
"No."
Lin Chuan had almost no hesitation and instantly cut off the expectation that had just ignited in Ye Xiaoxiao's eyes.
"Ok."
Ye Xiaoxiao nodded gently, slowly lowered her eyes, hiding the instantaneous flash of disappointment in her eyes.
"..."
Lin Chuan frowned slightly, sighed softly, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.
Then, he became serious, leaned forward slightly, looked directly at Ye Xiaoxiao, and asked softly, "Xiaoxiao, why do you want to be my Taoist partner?"
"Because I also want to be like my two sisters and always be by your side."
Ye Xiaoxiao raised her head, her eyes were clear and firm, and her words were full of sincere attachment.
"But am I not with Xiaoxiao now? It would be great if Xiaoxiao treats me as her brother." Lin Chuan looked at Ye Xiaoxiao gently.
"This is different. I want to be your Taoist partner. I want to see you every day when I open my eyes. I want to have a home with you!"
Ye Xiaoxiao was a little excited, her voice trembling slightly, her eyes full of desire and determination, staring straight at Lin Chuan.
"..."
Lin Chuan's eyes were slightly stunned, and a complicated expression appeared on his face.
He originally thought that Ye Xiaoxiao had also confused family affection and love, so he planned to guide her in the same way.
But looking at Ye Xiaoxiao's firm and persistent eyes at this moment, he was shocked to realize that Ye Xiaoxiao was different from Lin Wanxi. She knew clearly what he wanted in his heart, which made him a little at a loss for a moment.
"Is it not possible to not have a name?"
Seeing that Lin Chuan didn't speak for a long time, Ye Xiaoxiao's voice unconsciously lowered, with a hint of cautious temptation.
"Xiaoxiao has also seen that I have many Taoist companions around me. I am a heartless person and do not deserve your love at all. You deserve better."
Lin Chuan sighed slightly, with a bit of helplessness in his eyes. He raised his hand and gently rubbed Ye Xiaoxiao's head, his voice soft and soothing.
"Ah."
Ye Xiaoxiao responded softly, her voice so low that it was almost inaudible.
She lowered her eyes slightly to hide the disappointment in her eyes, and slowly raised her hand to take out an exquisite jade box from the storage space.
The jade box shone with a warm luster. She rubbed it gently with her fingers twice before handing it to Lin Chuan with a hint of hesitation.
"This is?"
Lin Chuan took the jade box with a puzzled look on his face, glanced at it, and then looked up at Ye Xiaoxiao, his eyes full of confusion.
"The Holy Lord gave me the original engagement between you and me. Since you are unwilling to become my Taoist partner, I will leave this engagement to you."
Ye Xiaoxiao pursed her lips slightly, her eyes fixed on the jade box in Lin Chuan's hand, her fair fingers unconsciously clenching the corner of her clothes.
