Chapter 373: Don't talk about dying

Jinhai growled. “Don’t do that, or I will take you here right this instant.”

Nana immediately released her lower lip. She did not doubt that Jinhai would take her as he said.

Watching his lazy but calm attitude with the sly smile on his lips, Nana recalled that night when she had confronted him with the truth. It was that night when Jinhai proposed her to have a wedding ceremony.

That night too, he acted the same way as he did now. There was a strange sense of danger lurking in his gaze whenever he talked about separating from her or whenever he felt that somebody wanted to tear them apart.

And whenever he sensed that, he would just be calm and act like it wasn’t a big deal, but in reality, the atmosphere would turn tense and threatening.

It felt such a long time since she saw that side of his once again.

Jinhai tucked a strand of her hair behind her ears. “I told you that night, right? You the light of my life. You are the air I breathe. If you are not there anymore, then I would just cease to-“

Nana suddenly covered his lips with her hand as if she was afraid of what he would speak next.

“Don’t talk about death so easily, Jinhai.” She nervously said. “You shouldn’t say such things so carelessly. What if…”

Jinhai stared at his little wife, who seemed fearful of that notion. She looked tensed, and her jaw tightened in anxiousness.

Jinhai leaned his lips a little and kissed her on the palm. It was a soft feather peck that jolted Nana.

“What if what, Nana?” Jinhai asked, even though he knew the answer.

“Nothing.” Nana pulled back her hand but clasped it again.

“What if I die?”

Nana glared at him. “I just told you not to say such things!”

Jinhai narrowed his eyes. A faint smirk graced his lips into a sexy curve.

“Nana…” He huskily whispered as he leaned in closer and closer to her. “Will you hate it if I die?”

Nana froze. She just said not to say such things, and here he was, teasing her by talking about his death.

Nana imagined what life would be like if Jinhai wasn’t there in her life anymore. The mere thought of it sent a shiver across her spine.

Life would be so empty without him…so lonely…How will she be able to live the rest of her life without his love, his hugs, his kisses, his sweet nothings? How will she raise their children with him together? How will she be able to smile ever again? Life without him would simply lose its meaning.

“Tell me. What if I die?” Jinhai asked again.

Nana paled. It was if the color drained from her face, making her look like a ghost. Tears pooled in her eyes which were threatening to fall. Her lips trembled. She wanted to say so many things but didn’t know where to begin.

Jinhai widened his eyes as he saw her tears almost ready to plop.

“N-Nana!” He cupped her face, but she shook it off.

She raised her head and looked at him, aggrieved and hurt. “I-I told you not to say such unfortunate things. Why are you not listening to me?”

Tears finally burst out, and she gasped on her sobs.

Jinhai panicked. He was just really teasing her. He didn’t know it would affect her that much.

“I am sorry,” he solemnly said, “I-I was just teasing-“

Nana shot a glare at him. “Teasing? Do you call this teasing? You mustn’t joke about things like death. Y-you never know when it may…”

Nana clutched her dress hard.

Jinhai bit his lower lip. He swiftly pulled her into his embrace.

“No! Let me go! You are horrible! You are mean. I don’t want to talk to you! Leave!”

“I am sorry. I am really, really sorry. I didn’t mean to hurt you.” He tried hard to pacify his little wife.

“But you did!” Nana exclaimed in frustration.

Jinhai combed his fingers through her hair and whispered. “Yes, I did. I apologize. Please forgive me. I will never talk about it again, okay?”

Nana sniffled and struggled in his arms. “I don’t care. Just go. Do whatever you want to do.”

Jinhai shook his head. “No. Please forgive me, Nana. Please? I know I was wrong. I am sorry. I will do whatever you want. Punish me, however, you want. I will take everything.”

Nana pursed her lips and stayed silent.

Jinhai gauged her reaction and slowly asked in a tender voice, “Please?”

She stopped struggling. She buried her face in his chest. “What will I do without you…I am mad at you for what you did. But I don’t h-hate you…” she spoke in a low voice, “Don’t speak about dying…You may not believe in such things, but I do that s-some things may get true even if you don’t mean it. That’s why we must wisely choose what we say.”

Jinhai stared at Nana, who looked frightened out of her wits.

“En. If you believe it, then I believe it too. I promise I won’t do it ever again.”

She said nothing.

Jinhai gulped. He held her face, but her gaze looked expressionlessly at him.

“I am sorry…please?”

“You only know how to hurt me…”

He felt as if a dagger pierced straight through his heart. The pain felt akin to tearing his heart apart.

“And then say sorry.”

Jinhai couldn’t retort.

Nana said, “What if I said that?”

Jinhai stiffened.

Nana and die? I will never let that happen!

Jinhai suddenly grabbed her face and crashed his lips on hers. He kissed her hard as if his life depended on it. He forced her mouth, pry open to entangle his tongue with hers. The deep, wet kiss went on for a long time before Jinhai finally felt satisfied and parted. He saw his bite marks on her luscious lips that turned them red.

Nana’s face flushed crimson. She looked in a daze with her glassy eyes. “You…I told you to stay away from me!”

Jinhai smiled. “I am innocent. You started it by saying such heartfelt things to that woman. I couldn’t help it.”

Nana looked at him in disbelief. “How shameless can you get to blame me?”

“Well, you married a shameless husband. So if you move my heart with your words or actions, then you will have to take responsibility for it. You can’t blame me if I have the urge to kiss you or make out with you.”

Nana stomped her foot in anger. She couldn’t believe he said that!

Jinhai’s gaze turned grim. He pecked her forehead. “I won’t talk about death ever again, and neither will you.”
