The Story Of Dusk 153 Unexplainable Feelings

It was still early in the morning.

Her tiny face frowned when she remembered Xiao Jun had gone. Actually he had told her the night before that he would go to take care some matter, however, Qianru was too tired and finally fell asleep without seeing him leave.

However, in her daze state, Qianru caught a glimpse of someone perched on the sill of window, staring at the place far away behind the horizon.

Rubbing her sleepy eyes, Qianru got off from the bed and approached Xiao Jun. She tapped his shoulder and he startled.

Out of instinct Xiao Jun grabbed her delicate hand as he stared down at Qianru with alertness, but the moment he saw her shocked face, his rigid expression became soften as he loosened his grip.

"I am sorry, is it hurt?" Xiao Jun was aware that he had exerted some strength when he grabbed her.

Truthfully speaking, it was indeed hurt, but Qianru shook her head nonetheless, seeing how distracted he was.

"There is something bothering you?" Qianru raised her hand to caress Xiao Jun side face as he leaned to her touch.

"I am alright." He lied and it was obvious to see.

"How is the matter that you said you would take care of last night? Is it done?" Qianru was looking at him with concern s.h.i.+mmering in her eyes.

Xiao Jun contemplated for awhile before he said in low voice. "There is some complication."

"Complication?" Qianru frowned when she heard about this. "Is that bad?"

"I can't tell for sure for now." It was indeed something that he never imagined would happen during this period of time.

Qianru could see the reluctance in Xiao Jun's eyes to tell her the complete story, she had grown familiar with this little sign of his. "Will be stay here for another day?" She didn't pursue the matter and let it go.

"No, we will return to Rockstone this afternoon." Xiao Jun shook his head and hugged Qianru tightly.

The woman could feel how disturbed he was only by the way he hugged her and like usual, she would just return it silently, hoping this was enough to lighten his burden.

Xiao Tianyao was personally feeding Luna her breakfast, neither he talk nor he looked at her in the eyes, everything that he did, he was doing it in silence.

The spoon that he held was hanging mid- air, waiting for Luna to swallow the previous food he had given.

"You don't need to do this." Luna said while adjusting the pillow behind her back. "I can eat by myself just fine." She frowned, didn't understand why suddenly he had a change of att.i.tude.

"Eat." Xiao Tianyao nudged the spoon to her mouth impatiently because she kept talking.

He had seen her body and he obviously didn't appreciate with what he saw. There was barely meat on her, her stomach also as flat as ever, didn't showing any sign of pregnancy.

Doctor Lin had told her that was a normal thing, but indeed Luna was still underweight, she needed to gain more meat for her healthy and the baby too.

"You met with Jun last night." Xiao Tianyao suddenly said.

It wasn't a question, but more a statement to see what Luna's reaction would be and to his surprised, Luna answered it truthfully.

"Yes, your brother was going to kill me before I said I am pregnant with your baby." Luna said without hiding anything.

Xiao Tianyao's grip on the spoon tightened.

"He will not hurt you anymore." Seeing Luna constantly pushed his hand, indicating she didn't want to eat anymore, Xiao Tianyao walked over to the table, put down the bowl and handed a cup of water for her.

His action even though looked indifference, but the way he cared for Luna could make one misunderstood his intention.

"Actually he didn't hurt me." Luna said softly.

It was true after all, Xiao Jun didn't even touch a single strand of her hair. She could feel his hesitant in his determination to finish her off. Especially when he learned about the baby, he was just standing there, puzzled with his own thought until Luna fell asleep without her knowing as well.

In the other side, Xiao Tianyao didn't say anything about Luna's statement. Of course he knew his brother didn't hurt her. He wouldn't hurt her.

Right at that moment someone was knocking the door and one of Xiao Tianyao's guard voice travelled inside the room.

"Master, a man named Yang Yu is awake and wanted to talk with you." The guards informed him.

"I will meet him later." Xiao Tianyao said without let the guard to come inside the room.

There was a m.u.f.fled sound of 'understood' and then footsteps, which moved away from the door.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

"Yang Yu?" Luna tilted her head, she didn't remember there was someone named Yang Yu in this resort.

He must be some kind of important person to be able to call Xiao Tianyao and the later was willingly to meet him.

"A man that I bought from black market, he is quite talented." Without a second thought Xiao Tianyao answered her question naturally, and when he realized, he couldn't stop it.

"I see…" Luna just mumbled that words as a response.

"I will go now." Xiao Tianyao said, confused with himself.

He didn't need to explain himself under this circ.u.mstances, but he did anyway.

As he stood up, he stared down at Luna's pale face as the woman looked back at him, her eyes shown something deep and impenetrable, something so lonely…

The next second, Xiao Tianyao made a curtsy bow as he captured her chapped lips with his.

Xiao Tianyao was caressing his lips absentmindedly as the feeling of her lips still lingered and her confused eyes that showing vulnerability while fluttering her long lashes was a sight to behold.

Probably because of the pregnancy, but Luna was less fierce than she was before or probably it was because of her illness so she became so weak to even argue with him, witnessing how obedient she was when he fed her, or probably it was both.

He closed his eyes, a.n.a.lyzing the feeling that he had for her…

"Hei , do you even listen to me?"

A high pitch man cried, bursting Xiao Tianyao's line of thought as Yang Yu had stood before his eiys without him knowing.

Glaring at him Xiao Tianyao said with unaffected voice. "Call me Master from now." He growled, annoyed by Yang Yu sudden interruption.

Initially, Xiao Tianyao would go directly to the Kingdom of Zodasian, but midway, Lu Wan or now was named Yang Yu was chased after him and said he would come with him.

But, of course Xiao Tianyao must to turn down his kind offer due to Yang Yu's condition, he wouldn't even make it to the border.

He had suffered from previous beating, added that to the stab on his shoulder, 'a little gift' from Xiao Tianyao.

Because of that reason, Xiao Tianyao decided to let Yang Yu stayed at the resort, he would be of use if he stayed there instead.

Who knew, the moment he arrived, his guards informed that Xiao Jun was there as well and was with Luna.

His heart was beating faster when he imagined the worse things that could happen upon her with his brother revenge and all.

Xiao Tianyao even could feel an unknown anger had consumed him, burning his body when he saw Xiao Jun was standing beside Luna's bed while the woman was laid there motionlessly.

As weird as it sounded, it scared him. The fear was palpable, even though afterward Doctor Lin had said Luna was fine and the baby wasn't harmed, it still made he worried to see her condition.

Ridiculous! He actually felt something for her? Wasn't he supposed to feel delighted by the fact that Xiao Jun wanted to kill her, with that he didn't need to dirty his own hand, right?

However, it didn't feel right. This option didn't settle well with him.

"Master! You are s.p.a.cing out again!" Yang Yu shouted frustratedly.

"I need you  to go to the Kingdom of Zodasian to locate someone for me."

Yang Yu tilted his head. "Zodasian?"
