The Story Of Dusk 169 The Vow

The man and the woman lied on the floor motionlessly. It was only their chest, which rise and fall that indicating they were still alive. None of them moved for long time.

The woman kept her eyes wide opened, but they reflected nothing. If eyes were the window to the soul, then Lin Xingyan's soul has turned empty.

Meanwhile the man shut his eyes tight with bulging veins on his forehead. He was concentrated to the pain in his left arm. Cold sweat started to form on his forehead.

When the pain became more tolerable, Mo Xuan Fei opened his eyes, the dim light help his eyes to adjust with his surroundings easily.

He tried to move his left arm and grabbed it with his right arm, this would be the most painful part when he had to break his arm again to put it in place or else he would be crippled for the rest of his life.

Shut his eyes again and gritted his teeth, Mo Xuan Fei embraced himself for the impending pain. He took a big gulped before he yanked his own hand ruthlessly and forcefully.

This time the pain was more intense than before, but it didn't last for long time before it subsided, leaving Mo Xuan Fei bathed in his own sweat.

He felt very exhausted after what he had done to himself, but he forced himself to stay awake, the remaining pain was still tolerable and helped him to stay alert, because once he lost his conscious he would be in deep sleep for days, as his body needed time to recuperate.

It was hard to imagine how he could survive from this and endure the pain, but he managed to do it and crawled closer toward Lin Xingyan.

"Xingyan…" Mo Xuan Fei called out her name softly, even in his voice, it was filled with pain. But this time it was for her. "Xingyan…"

He kept calling her name, but there was no answer from her, she didn't move even an inch from the spot where the last time Mo Qian Yuan had left her.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

Mo Xuan Fei's heart was thumping badly with anxiety as the worst scene flashed in his eyes. All that he had endured would go for nothing if Lin Xingyan couldn't survive. He would die as well if that was the thing that would happen.

He crawled to her and when Lin Xingyan was within his arm reach, he tried to sit down and hugged her with his healthy hand.

The woman was lying motionlessly in his arms with her empty eyes were staring at the faraway direction, sometime they were blinking, but still there was nothing there.

"Xingyan, I am so sorry. I am so sorry to put you through all of this." Mo Xuan Fei rested his chin against Lin Xingyan's head as a tear of silent cry fell on her forehead.

And then another drop and more…

He hugged the woman tightly as if he wanted to be one with her, as if he wanted to bear her pain. This thing happened because of him, it was because his short sighted and narrow minded to think that everything would be alright between the two of them.

He ruined his own life and the worst part was he brought her down with him as well.

Now the damage had done and no amount of regret that could redeem it. He tried to soothe her pain by caressing her back, but she still didn't give any reaction at all.

"Xingyan… please endure it for awhile…" Mo Xuan Fei whispered softly to her ears. "I will do everything for you… for your safety."

The woman blinked her beautiful eyes again, but this time her eyes didn't look as blurry as before, there was a fleeting emotion within them.

The more Mo Xuan Fei whispered soothing words at her the more focus her eyes became as if someone brought her back to reality bit by bit.

Until the point her expression didn't look as aloof as before and a soft cry escaped her lips while she turned her head to his chest and snuggled closer toward his warmth embrace.

The pain that she had suffered came like a wave of sorrow and tightened her chest. It was so painful, whether the wound on her face or the pain in her chest, all of those came at the same time and it was so unbearable.

Tear after tear dropped on her face, wetted the front of Mo Xuan Fei's robe, as she cried even louder and the pain became more unbearable to hold it back.

Mo Xuan Fei hugged her even tighter. The guilty was roaming in his heart to see how grievous the woman who he loved.

Sometime, only by looking how broke the woman that we loved it was enough to break one heart and this was what Mo Xuan Fei felt right now.

Every tears and every cried that was sounded from her was like sharp daggers that twisted in his heart, like someone had poured salt on his wounds.

The pain was so unbearable like the world had collapsed around him.

The silent night turned gloomier as their cried mixed with the sound of the breeze wind outside of the room, it was so miserable, painfully woeful.

As if no one could disturb them.

Lin Xingyan had already known, the moment the secret between them was revealed to the Emperor. She would suffer unbearable pain like this.

But, she couldn't help to reject Mo Xuan Fei advance as she felt the same way toward him. She loved him and didn't want to part with him.

In the other hand at this moment, Mo Xuan Fei vowed to himself that he would make Mo Qian Yuan paid for all the things that he had done to them thousands times.

He gritted his teeth, balled his fist and stilled his heart.

Mo Qian Yuan would regret his decision to let him alive now and Mo Xuan Fei would make sure for this!

The day of the birthday celebration of the Empress was approaching. In the blink of an eye the awaited day has come.

This morning, Xiao Jun was helping Qianru to get off from the bed as they needed to prepare for the upcoming event.

The event itself would be held from noon until in middle of the night. There would be many attraction and performance to be enjoyed.

As the Empress would make an appearance during the night event, so it wasn't necessary for the guest to attend the afternoon event.

However, Xiao Jun and Qianru needed to pick up their gift from the shop outside the palace. Actually it wasn't necessary for them to come and picked up the item by themselves, but Qianru had been complaining about getting bored recently.

Thus, Xiao Jun thought to bring her out for a little while.

During Qianru pregnancy, Xiao Jun pampered her endlessly. He would become exaggeratedly anxious for every mishap that happened on her as he loved the idea of becoming a father regardless their situation right now, Xiao Jun would do everything that he could to protect his wife and his unborn child.

Today Qianru looked exceptionally beautiful in her red dress and the accessories that pinned on her hair. She appeared so fresh and energetic, probably because of her pregnancy and the happiness within that radiated on her face.
