Yu Qian did not expect Xia Wanyuan to suddenly ask this. He frowned slightly. “There’s no reason. I just want to keep you.”
All along, many people had asked him this question, and his answer had always been this. Unfortunately, no one had ever believed it.
Xia Wanyuan narrowed her eyes slightly. In the past few years, she had always felt that Yu Qian had deliberately kept her because of his conflict with Jun Shiling.
However, after discovering today that the person who had been looking for her was Jiang Qing, Xia Wanyuan suddenly recalled a huge matter from three years ago.
Three years ago, although she had been staying in the base and did not go out, she vaguely understood from the document sent to Yu Qian.
World D had undergone a power rotation. Hidden Continent was originally the largest sphere of influence in World D. Three years ago, Jiang Qing had become the leader of Hidden Continent. In addition to his long-term management in World A, he could basically do whatever he wanted on the entire planet.
With the power Jiang Qing had at that time, it was an exaggeration to say that he could even flatten the entire China. He had always been looking for her. According to Jiang Qing’s ruthless style, he could really take her away at all costs.
However, even though he was already so powerful, there was only one place on this planet that he could not step foot in, and that was the place under Yu Qian’s jurisdiction. A hundred years ago, the ancestors of both sides signed a peace agreement. Among them, it mentioned that the people of Hidden Continent would not take another step forward for a hundred years.
As a member of the hidden family, Jiang Qing had always believed in these agreements and heavenly punishments. Hence, even though Jiang Qing’s power far exceeded Yu Qian’s, he had never crossed the line.
Now, Xia Wanyuan suddenly connected these few things. She suddenly had a feeling that Jun Shiling and Yu Qian’s relationship might not be as incompatible as she had imagined.
She knew very well that with Jun Shiling’s ability, it was not impossible to force her to stay back then, but Jun Shiling had let go. At that time, she only thought that Jun Shiling respected her choice, but from the looks of it, it might have been premeditated.
Yu Qian stood quietly. Seeing Xia Wanyuan’s gaze change, the corners of his lips curled up slightly. “You’ve always been very smart. I knew you would guess one day, but I didn’t expect it to be so early.”
However, Xia Wanyuan, who knew all of this, was not happy at all. A hint of uneasiness rose in her heart and she subconsciously took a step forward. “What else did Jun Shiling say to you?? What are you plotting??”
Yu Qian touched the thumb ring in his hand. “I’m not plotting. Actually, I’ve always hated Jun Shiling and have never planned to ally with him.”
“Then you…”
“Then why did I agree to let you stay?” Yu Qian turned to look at Xia Wanyuan. “Because I can let you stay.”
Xia Wanyuan did not understand what Yu Qian meant. “What?”
Yu Qian lowered his head with an inexplicable expression. “Because I can keep you. Do you remember the first time we met??”
Hearing Yu Qian’s words, Xia Wanyuan thought of a few years ago in the Wei family. Wei Zimu had originally brought her into the library, but after a while, the person who appeared in front of her changed.
Even though his facial features and temperament were identical to Wei Zimu’s, the temperature in his bones was different.
Yu Qian seemed to have recalled the first time they met. At that time, Xia Wanyuan stood in front of the bookshelf and looked back. Her bright eyes were like glass beads, making him feel for the first time that Xia Wanyuan should be more interesting than others.
“From the first time I saw you, I’ve wanted to keep you by my side.” Yu Qian stared intently at Xia Wanyuan.
However, there was no selfish desire in those glasses. There was no lingering. It was more like…
A person who had been walking alone in the darkness for a long time happened to see a beam of light. He wanted to put away this light and only light himself.
His obsession with Xia Wanyuan lay in the loneliness in his bones.
Hence, three years ago, when Jun Shiling took the initiative to put Xia Wanyuan by his side, he agreed.
“Although I hate Jun Shiling,” Yu Qian looked at Xia Wanyuan and said slowly, “he does treat you well.”
In order to better protect Xia Wanyuan, Jun Shiling sent the piece of flesh in his heart to another man.
In the past three years, he should have shared the world with his wife and daughter, but he had given this position to Yu Qian.
In order to prevent Jiang Qing from tearing up that peace agreement at any time and forcefully entering the continent, Jun Shiling had been secretly sending the most advanced weapons and equipment to Yu Qian.
While Xia Wanyuan and Little Xiaxia were unaware, Jun Shiling had been standing in front of them to protect them.
Xia Wanyuan almost instantly understood what Yu Qian meant. Thinking of everything Jun Shiling had done, Xia Wanyuan’s heart ached.
She could not imagine how Jun Shiling had endured his reluctance to send her and Little Xiaxia away and how he had protected them under his longing and loneliness.
Looking at Xia Wanyuan’s instantly red eyes, Yu Qian’s eyes flickered. He took a step forward and handed a handkerchief to Xia Wanyuan.
“Now, are you still going to the appointment?? Do you know that if you go, all of Jun Shiling’s plans and protection will be for nothing?”
Xia Wanyuan clenched her fists slightly. “He’s going? Right??”
It was impossible for Jiang Qing to give up everything just because she did not go. All the firepower needed a target. In order to let her stay in D World in peace, Jun Shiling would definitely take the initiative to fight Jiang Qing.
Hearing Xia Wanyuan’s question, Yu Qian was silent and did not respond.
However, the silence represented everything. Xia Wanyuan raised her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes. “I want to go.”
In her previous life, she and Jiang Qing had always been opponents. She knew very well that Jiang Qing was a ruthless and scheming person. She would be worried if she did not go.
Furthermore, Jiang Qing had been looking for her for more than three hundred years. He would definitely not give up so easily. The punishment on the two children also needed to be removed. Jiang Qing was the only remaining descendant of the hidden family. Only he knew how to crack it.
Actually, Yu Qian knew very well that he could not persuade Xia Wanyuan. He was not surprised to hear Xia Wanyuan’s answer.
“Then go ahead. I won’t go.” Yu Qian walked to the sofa and sat down. “I can’t be bothered to do such a simple act of courting death.”
“Goodbye.” Xia Wanyuan nodded slightly at Yu Qian, then summoned an aircraft from the side and quickly left.
Watching Xia Wanyuan leave, Yu Qian frowned slightly. He raised his hand and wanted to say something. After thinking for a while, he finally said, “Go back according to the original route.”
