Chapter 217: Reunion
In fact, not only did Yue'er's body stop instinctively resisting, but when she understood who was embracing her at this time, who was whispering softly in her ear, and whose hot body temperature was tightly wrapping her, her heartbeat almost stopped.
It was not only Chris's magnetic, slightly hoarse voice that was familiar with it, but also the scent of grass that she had been obsessed with before.
When the two fell in love many years ago, Yue'er said that Chris had a smell of grass on his body, the kind of smell that overflowed on the grass after the rain, the kind that loomed. And when he sweats during exercise, the smell is especially strong.
Although Chris was reluctant to accept her little girlish description, he always smiled and said that it was Yue'er's own fantasy, after all, he had never heard anyone else mention it.
But it doesn't seem like a bad thing that Yue'er likes his smell, and she insists that "it can only be smelled if it's close to his chest, so it's her prerogative." β
Of course he was willing to give her this privilege, not just the taste, everything about him belonged to her alone.
At this moment, the breath that she had missed for many years came to her face, the person she had been afraid of for many years and would never see her again, finally came to her with a scorching body temperature, and the warm arm that she had dreamed of countless midnight dreams and shed tears on the pillow but was far away in the sky hugged her again...
After her heart stopped beating for a few beats, Yue'er's heart kept accelerating, beating more and more violently, and she even felt that such a close fit would leak her nervousness.
She frantically tries to push Chris away and break free from his embrace, only to find that she has no chance of winning against the strong him. She wasn't his opponent before, not to mention that he had already been regarded as the "God of War" by everyone for so many years, and he was so powerful that no one could shake him.
But what is this? Isn't he going to be seen again? Why did he appear so suddenly and make such an intimate gesture towards her? Why did he come out of nowhere to disturb her mind?
"Please let me go." After some struggle to no avail, Yue'er used all her composure to make a request.
Of course, Chris didn't mean to let go, this was the woman he had dreamed of day and night, the only woman he had loved deeply in his life, and the lover he felt most indebted.
At this moment, he has no way to express the surging in his heart in any words, doesn't it mean too much for the two to meet here again?
At this moment, apart from hugging her tightly in his arms, Chris really didn't know what to say and do to express the turbulence in his heart.
Before Yue'er could speak again, Chris's hug suddenly loosened. A man in black stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, and years of instinct made him react quickly like a clever wolf and enter a state of readiness.
"Ms. Yue'er, may I ask if this gentleman is embarrassing you?" The man in black first had to confirm whether Yue'er had been harassed.
Yue'er looked at this stranger blankly, and didn't know how to react for a while, the key is that she didn't know the stranger in front of her at all. Compared to Chris, this talent in black is even more abrupt.
Chris felt Yue'er's uneasiness, he silently stood beside her, and hugged her shoulders strongly, and in an instant Yue'er was tightly wrapped in an overwhelming sense of security, with him, she didn't need to be afraid of anything.
The man in black had to reveal his identity: "Miss Yue'er, hello." I am a bodyguard hired by Mr. Leon Kennedy and our company is on his instructions to keep you safe 24 hours a day. After saying that, he handed over a business card - Blackwater.
Blackwater is a well-known security company in the United States with operations all over the world. Most of the employees have served in elite units in various countries, including the United States Navy SEALs, the French Foreign Legion, and the Polish Thundering Special Forces. Founded in 1997 by several retired soldiers of the American "Navy SEALs", it began business in 1998 and is headquartered in North Carolina, USA. Major customers include U.S. federal law enforcement agencies, the Department of Defense, the Department of State, the Department of Transportation, multinational corporations, and other governments.
In addition to government business, Blackwater also undertakes a lot of private business, and some of the most wealthy businessmen and celebrities also hire them to protect their lives and property, and of course they charge a lot of money. At present, it has 9 branches, involving several fields such as training centers, shooting ranges, police dog training, air guards, and security consultants. With 2,300 employees in nine countries, 20,000 employees on standby, and 20 aircraft on standby, it's an army.
Although Leon can't always be by Yue'er's side to protect her, the last time he heard in the hospital that she had taken such a dangerous case, he couldn't rest assured at all.
When she left on the front foot, he contacted the security company that had repeatedly protected him from being harassed by fanatical fans, and customized a 24-hour uninterrupted personal protection service for Yue'er. and explained that these bodyguards are not allowed to show up, and only need to secretly protect his fiancΓ©e.
Yue'er looked at the business card and was stunned for a moment, completely unexpectedly that such a thing would happen.
Chris on the side clenched his fists unconsciously when he heard Leon's name, but he also realized something abnormal.
"Why did he hire someone to protect you? Did something happen? "Yue'er is just a lawyer, so there is nothing special that would not require such a high level of security. The man in black and Chris in front of him had already looked at each other, they were both professional soldiers, and they only needed to understand each other's catties and taels at a glance, and the people in the army had a kind of radar that ordinary people did not have, and they knew that the other party was "their own person" at a glance.
Yue'er didn't answer Chris's question, she raised her head and said to the man in black, "Thank you, I'm fine." The... It's a friend of mine. He won't hurt me, I'm fine. We just haven't seen each other in years, and it's a bit of a surprise. You don't have to report to him today. β
The men in black are professional security personnel, and the first rule of their job is not to interfere with the privacy of customers, they only need to protect the safety of customers, and anything else has nothing to do with them, and they must stay out of it. So after Yue'er finished speaking, he nodded. A meaningful look at Chris, then vanished again. Of course, he didn't go far, just continued to carry out the task of covert protection.
When the man in black disappeared, the embarrassing atmosphere that existed a moment ago was gone.
Chris looked at her earnestly and repeated the question.
"Did something happen? Why do you need this level of protection? Chris guessed something must have happened.
"Thank you for your concern, I'm fine." Yue'er's answer was alienated but a little angry, how could Chris not hear it.
"I'm sorry, it's my fault." Chris knew he couldn't defend himself, so he could only say this apology, which was years late.
Hearing the words "I'm sorry", Yue'er, who had pretended to be strong for so many years, finally couldn't hold it back, and tears burst out of her eyes in the next second. What she fears most is this "I'm sorry" to hear.
What's the use of being sorry? Can these three words of understatement make up for her thoughts and pains for so many years in the past? Can these three words soothe the countless heart-wrenching nights after she was broken up?
No, sorry are the three most useless words. She finally felt that she had come out, and finally convinced herself that he would no longer have anything to do with her, and seriously considered starting a new chapter in her life, so he appeared talking to himself.
The tears that snatched out her eyes uncontrollably made Yue'er feel very faceless, but she couldn't control herself, so she could only vent all her dissatisfaction on him, and knocked heavily on his chest: "Why do you say you can just leave and come?" Why are you suddenly appearing now? Why do you think I'm going to stay where I am and wait for you? β
Chris endured every one of her rebukes, he could feel the pain she had endured for years, and her pear-blossom accountability simply made him suffocated. He didn't know how he could make up for her, or if he knew that the damage caused by so many years of debt could not be remedied, and he could only use the rest of his life to atone for his sins to compensate for her and love her...
"I'm sorry." Except for these three words, he really didn't know what to say at this moment.
"Don't look at me." Yue'er knew that her emotions were out of control, which was not what she wanted anyone to see, but she couldn't clean up her emotions in a short time, so she could only turn her back.
Chris hugged her tightly from behind, feeling her ups and downs, knowing how sad she was, and could only whisper the weak but sincere apology in her ear again and again.
After Yue'er's mood gradually calmed down, Chris said seriously again: "Yue'er, I'm sorry, it's me who is not good, I don't ask for your forgiveness, but can you give me another chance?" β
With apologies, he turned Yue'er's body around, forced her to bear his affectionate eyes, and after taking a deep breath, he bravely said the confession that had been hidden in his heart for many years: "Yue'er, I love you, and my love for you has never diminished for so many years." I know I'm selfish and willful, and I've failed you. But do you know how happy I was when I saw you here today? I know you have me in your heart. I swear I'll never leave you again, can you give me another chance, let's start over, okay? β
Chris's confession was sincere and warm, Yue'er didn't expect him to be so straightforward, and she didn't know how to react for a while. I could only be embraced by him again and feel his warm breath again.
"I miss you so much, I miss you so much, I think I'm going crazy. Yue'er, tell me, you don't belong to anyone now. Chris didn't say a word about Leon, he wanted to make sure he still had a chance, he wanted to hear Yue'er answer him personally. But I was afraid to hear some terrible answers.
"I belong only to myself." Yue'er took a deep breath to adjust her emotions, "I'm here just because I thought you wouldn't come, just to visit your brother for you, and you shouldn't think too much." Yue'er knew that Chris had no family in New York, and when she came to Columbia University to study in the first year, she found this memorial hall as soon as possible, and accidentally found this display case, so she would come to mourn every year since then, and instead of Chris who was far away, she also prayed to his brother for protection and peace for him.
Hearing Yue'er's answer, Chris was hopeful, she didn't belong to anyone, then it meant that he still had a chance, as long as he confirmed this.
"Come with me, I'll take you somewhere." Chris naturally took her hand, and both of them were in a trance for a moment. It was common to clasp ten fingers when we were in love, but after many years, Chris's hands became so rough...
How much suffering did he endure, thinking of Yue'er's sour nose here, she couldn't help but shed crystal tears again, and her other hand touched the back of his hand distressedly, rubbing it gently...
