Seven Cubs, Seven Fathers, Zero Days Off novel Chapter 224

Chapter 224: Chapter 222: He Was Willing to Be Beaten by Her

He’d pulled a stunt like this, so who was supposed to stay faithful to him?

Was she supposed to just ignore a man like Huang Ziyue—cold on the outside but gentle within, who doted on her completely? A handsome man with broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long legs, who waited on her hand and foot all day?

Was she supposed to sleep alone for Bai Chaosi, uphold some archaic wifely duty, and suffer so much she wanted to die?

Any day she waited to sleep with him would be an insult to Huang Ziyue’s handsome face and perfect body!

Honestly, she couldn’t understand what Bai Chaosi was so jealous about. What right did he have to be this furious?

Besides, hadn’t he brought all of this on himself?

If he had just stayed by her side, would they be in this situation now?

As Bai Chaosi heard her words, his eyes grew utterly red-rimmed...

He clutched his chest, frozen in place as the color drained from his face, leaving it ashen.

Only the trickle of blood at the corner of his mouth stood out in stark, jarring contrast.

He stood there, gazing at Shen Yue, each of her rebukes and questions a blow that made his chest ache to the point of suffocation. Even breathing felt like a knife dragging across his throat.

’In that moment, he knew. He couldn’t do it...

’He had thought that by making this choice, he could accept any outcome. He could accept Shen Yue’s cold shoulder and their brief separation.

’He thought he could suppress and conceal his love for her, treat her like a stranger for the sake of his plan, and just keep her locked away in his heart.

’But that was, in the end, just wishful thinking.

’He couldn’t. He just couldn’t do it...

’He was completely unable to control his love for Shen Yue, a love that bordered on obsessive madness.

’His possessiveness and longing for her were carved into his very bones, far beyond his own control.

’His gaze followed her involuntarily.

’Her every move was magnified in his eyes, no matter where she was, how far away, or whose side she stood by.

’To him, she had never left his sight for a single second.

’Even during those days when he was on the verge of death, plunged into endless darkness, she was all he could think about.

’Her every expression, her lovely silhouette—they were his only salvation during those days of being tortured and skinned by the townsfolk.

’They were the silent prayer that fueled his will to live, to endure the long wait.

’Thankfully, in that endless darkness, her call had finally reached him...

’Her cry, her voice thick with tears, had reached him. She’d said, "Fox, I forbid you to die."

’The moment he heard her voice that day...

’He knew she had found him. She hadn’t abandoned him... She had come to save him.

’So, she did feel heartache for him. She did cry for him...

’And in that moment, the weight in his heart finally lifted...

’Thank the Beast God, she was safe. She was alright. The man in black hadn’t hurt her.

’Just knowing she was safe and sound was enough for him to be at peace.

’And so, he could finally let go and sink into slumber.

’He had thought he was dying, but at least he could die with his heart at ease, never to see her again.

’But when he woke again, he looked at his fully recovered body and his spiritual power, which had grown by leaps and bounds...

’He knew she was the one who had saved him.

’Because in all the world, no one else possessed such miraculous abilities.

’So he couldn’t wait to see her.

’That night, he snuck into her room. Seeing her in a deep sleep, exhausted from healing him, made his heart ache.

’He stayed by her side, just watching her quietly for a long, long time.

’It was as if he could never get his fill of looking at her. He held her, kissed her, and even shifted into his original form to crawl under her covers, curling up in her arms to sleep beside her.

’He did it just to soothe the ache of longing that had tormented him between life and death.

’But of all the rotten luck, just as he was falling asleep in her arms, the Blood Summons of the White Fox Clan awakened in his mind.

’He received instructions from the Blood Summons and learned that the Blood Seal Array, which the White Fox Clan of Snow Ridge had guarded for a millennium, had actually manifested.

’And there truly was a so-called Bloodbound One.

’He had thought the Blood Summons was just a Fox Clan legend.

’So, that day, when he returned to his rooms bruised and battered from her beating, the memory of the sorrow in her eyes was like a knife twisting in his heart. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
