When Li Tian got out of the house, it was already past midnight. Although Jiangdu was a bustling city, not many would choose to be out and about that late at night.

Usually, there would only be two types of people during the night. Most people would remain ‘normal’ from morning to night and fall asleep alone in their beds; but some people would turn into ‘beasts’.

If he hadn’t received Chen Ya Jing’s call, Li Tian would’ve been ‘normal’ as usual. However, after her call, it seemed like his eyes had changed into those that resembled a beast’s.

Just kidding. 

Li Tian didn’t even bother getting into his car. Instead, he ran all the way to Chen Ya Jing’s place. Fortunately, it wasn’t too far.

After about 20 minutes, Li Tian arrived at her place. 

Chen Ya Jing hadn’t even turned her lights on in her room. Li Tian knocked on the door and she immediately opened the door, jumping into his embrace. 

Yup, still feels the same.

Chen Ya Jing hugged Li Tian tightly for what seemed like hours, and finally calmed down a little. 

Right at that moment, Li Tian only realized that Chen Ya Jing had been crying all this while.

He gently brought her to the sofa to sit, and began to ask, “Ya Jing, what happened?”

“Ruan Yuan is dead.”

Chen Ya Jing answered with a panicked look on her face. 

Li Tian only understood then and there that Chen Ya Jing had already heard about the news. 

However, he was really confused. How did she find out? Ruan Yuan was a member of Dragon Soul. Based on the usual procedure, they would have definitely made sure that things like that remained a secret to the outside world. Plus, Chen Ya Jing and Ruan Yuan had already broken up, so it was unlikely that she would even ask about his whereabouts. 

“What? Ya Jing, where did you hear that from?”

“When I got home today, there was a man who came here. He said that since I was Ruan Yuan’s girlfriend, he passed me an urn and said it was Ruan Yuan’s ashes.” 

“What the?!”

Li Tian couldn’t help but curse out loud. Are the people from Dragon Soul crazy?! Why would they give an urn of ashes to a girl?! Li Tian scanned the living hall and noticed that there was indeed something which resembled an urn, wrapped with a thick cloth. 

Who wouldn’t be scared when there was an urn placed in their living room, especially of a young girl living alone? 

Even if the person was someone who was used seeing blood like Li Tian, they would still panic. 

“Everything is okay now. Ya Jing, I’ll stay with you tonight. Let’s go to your room.”

He gently tapped Chen Ya Jing’s shoulders and proceeded to carry her from the sofa.

It was safe to say that Chen Ya Jing’s mental state was about to collapse, and she was on the verge of having a breakdown.

After she received the urn, every time she closed her eyes, she would remember the times Ruan Yuan threw temper tantrums in her room. After some point, she could no longer take it any more, so she decided to call Li Tian. 

Li Tian laid Chen Ya Jing down on her bed and tucked her in. He then lied on the other side of the bed and gently wrapped his arms around Chen Ya Jing, allowing her to find comfort in his embrace. 

“Don’t worry, I’m here now. Go to sleep, you still have to go to work in the morning.” 

It was only at that moment Chen Ya Jing found a sense of security. She quickly drifted off to sleep in Li Tian’s arms. It was evident that she had been exhausted mentally and physically from all the crying. 

On the other hand, Li Tian was wide awake. He couldn’t think of anyone from the Dragon Soul who would have done this. Didn’t they know that Chen Ya Jing and Ruan Yuan were over?

Li Tian wanted to find out more about this. After he waited for about an hour, he decided to go look for the Dragon Soul. However, Chen Ya Jing was woken up at his slightest movements. 

“Are you… leaving?”

Chen Ya Jing said, with puppy eyes. 

“No, my arm was falling asleep. I was just trying to change positions. Go back to sleep, Ya Jing.”

Li Tian couldn’t bear to say that he wanted to leave. So, he continued to stay by her side, until it reached six in the morning.

　　…

“Oh no, I should leave now.”

Li Tian suddenly remembered that Lin Yi might go looking for him if she notices him missing. It would just complicate things as he didn’t have a reason to be out during this time of day.

As soon as Li Tian moved, Chen Ya Jing woke up again.

“Ya Jing, the sun is already up. I’m afraid I need to go back now, if not for… Anyway, I’ll take that thing with me and get rid of it, so don’t worry.”

Obviously, Li Tian was talking about the urn. Chen Ya Jing would never have a good night’s sleep with that thing still in her living room.

After hearing Li Tian’s words, Chen Ya Jing showed a disappointed look on her face. 

For that moment, she had forgotten that Li Tian was already married.

“Stay with me for another 10 more minutes and talk to me, okay?”

As these words came out of Chen Ya Jing’s mouth, she felt that she was being very thick skinned. Afterall, how could she ask a married man to stay by her side and talk to her?

However, it was worth being thick skinned when she thought about Li Tian’s warm embrace. 

“Okay, what do you want to talk about?”

“Let’s talk about your wife. She must be really pretty, huh?” Chen Ya Jing asked.

“Yeah, very pretty. Of course, Ya Jing, you’re really pretty, too.”

“Then, who’s prettier? Me or her?”

As soon as he heard her question, Li Tian felt stuck. This question was notorious for breaking relationships. Why do girls always ask questions like this when they clearly know that there will never be a genuine answer? 

“Both are beautiful.”

“You’re lying. Of course the answer would be your wife. I’m getting old.”

“Who said so! You look so young, if you were to walk on the streets right now, people would think that you were a student on her way to school!”

“Hehe, you sure know how to make me laugh. Did you also use this trick on your wife?”

Chen Ya Jing couldn’t help but giggle at Li Tian’s words. 

“Um, not really. I had never met her before getting married. You could say that it was a ‘flash marriage’.”

Flattering Lin Yi? That would require so much skill, at least ten times more than the skill Li Tian had.

Lin Yi was a cold empress, her heart would never melt so easily. 

“Flash marriage? Then… are you guys happy?”

Chen Ya Jing wasn’t sure herself why she had asked that. Perhaps subconsciously she wished that Li Tian would answer that he wasn’t happy at all, so that she could……

No no no, she had to cut it out.

Obviously, Li Tian hadn’t noticed her feelings yet. 

“We’re okay, I guess. Ya Jing, I’ll be honest with you about my wife. Actually, you know her too.”

Li Tian thought about this long and hard, and decided that he should come clean. He didn’t know how Chen Ya Jing would react to it anyways.

“I know her?”

“Yeah.”

“Who is it?”

“Lin Yi.”

“Lin… Lin Yi?”
