Chapter 345: Medussa’s Grave Part1

Xander saw that Tang Yue’s face had changed and not in a good way and he quickly undid the disguise, returning back to his tall and muscular figure.

The man sure had thick skin but even he knew that he was on thin ice now.

He saw the myriad emotions on Tang Yue’s face and he couldn’t help but feel anxious.

He knew that he had crossed several lines.

Tang Yue, on the other hand, silently stood frozen, not moving a single muscle.

She had been extremely careful. 

She had taken several precautions, but in the end, she still ended up incapable of even protecting this one thing, one secret. 

She felt utterly useless and idiotic. She couldn’t even face the man’s gaze. He had made a complete fool out of her.

While she was struggling so hard to stand on her own, to rely on her strength, apparently she had all along been in his grasp and at his mercy.

Tang Yue bent her head down and asked, her words clear and crisp.”Why did you do this?”

Her knees gave out, as she fell down with a thud on the ground, kneeling and holding her head in her hands.

Tears streamed out of her eyes as she cried in exasperation.

“Why did you do this? Why did you do this?” She repeated, tired and exhausted.

“Why do you always have to play these games with me? Why are you torturing me like this?”

Xander’s face changed. He didn’t like seeing the woman he loved in so much pain.

He had done several things to amuse himself, but in the end, he still cared about this woman in front of him and it pained him to see her hurt like this.

He crumbled right next to her and pulled her closer gently, drowning her muffled sobs in his chest.

“Please don’t be mad. Please don’t cry. I am sorry. I am sorry.”

“I shouldn’t have done these things. I am sorry. I love you.”

“I just wanted to help you from the side.”

“I love you, my dear. I will never ever do anything to hurt you. Please trust me.”

Xander felt the woman in his arms move, so he quickly released her.

“Are you okay?” He asked, his crimson eyes unusually gentle and warm without a drop of coldness within them.

Tang Yue nodded. She had just broken down completely and cried like a little girl but somehow it helped her relieve some of the pain in her heart.

She looked up to gaze at the man who had been there for her time and again without fail.

A sad smile lingered on his lips and for the first time, she missed his usual arrogant lopsided grin, that made him looking devilishly charming.

“You… You know everything… Then how are you not threatened by me? Why are you still helping me? Supporting me?”

Tang Yue raised her hand gently and stroked the man’s clean-shaven cheek. This was the first time she had touched him all on her own accord.

Xander touched her hand, holding it in place, memorizing the feeling of her palm on his cheek. “I love you.” He said, his eyes gazing into hers.

They then followed the small knot in her throat that moved up and down as Tang Yue drank in the man’s words.

She had by now lost count of the number of times the man had proposed to her.

His actions, his methods, and everything else about him might have been disingenuous but these few words… she knew that he meant it every time he had told her so.

Tang Yue sighed and then chuckled helplessly. She leaned forward and hugged the man in front of her tightly.

She felt the same warmth in his embrace, the warmth that his words carried. 

Xander gulped nervously and smiled, his heart thudding like a stampede of beasts.

He had been rejected so many times that he was afraid to believe what was happening right now.

He hugged her back fearfully and nervously.

Tang Yue felt the man’s trembling hands and lifted her head up to look at him. His eyes looked extremely lonely.

She suddenly felt the urge to kiss them and make them feel better.

But she then glanced at the man’s nervous parted lips and kissed them instead.

Xander gasped, slightly taken aback. This was the first time she had kissed him all on her own.

He was afraid to do anything to break the moment. He gently returned her kiss sucking her full lips softly.

Tang Yue noticed the difference in his behavior and muffled a laugh. This villain turned over a new leaf? She grinned and bit his lips playfully.

She took the step and kissed him more forcefully and greedily, assuring him that this was no accident.

Xander stopped, the woman’s every action surprising him. He wanted to know if this was true. 

He rubbed her lips with his finger and looked at her, waiting for her words, with a silly smile on his face.

Tang Yue chuckled. “You said earlier that you could taste the lies in my kiss.” 

“What about now?” She asked and then paused a while, before confessing. “I love you too.”

Xander stared at her dumbfoundedly. The silly grin on his face widened more and more.

A part of him thought that the woman in front of him would probably never feel this way about him.

And now he felt like he could breathe again.

The mountain that had been crushing his very soul suddenly disappeared and the man threw his head back and laughed as if he had won a war.

He was beyond ecstatic. 

He pulled the woman kneeling in front of him, crashing her into his chest, and fell backward on the ground, holding her closely on top of him.

He hugged her tightly, afraid to let go, and gazed at the sky, allowing the unbridled happiness and infinite relief to wash over him.
