The Unknown Beauty
/ The Unknown Beauty 141 Don't answer me
They were in shock to see such a person disappear so fast. The spies thought it is the same technique someone among the guards have and soon left the area to tell their master the new information.
Han Bingwen is now aware about the amount of people spying them. He heads to a place where he knows there won't be anybody around. He swiftly and beautifully jumped over the walls surrounding the city to get into the forest.
This is the other side of the Unknown forest which is at one side of the . Han Bingwen stopped by a lake and set Lin Yu Yan down on a low but sturdy branch. She sat down but her head still hung low and her mask was soaked in her tears.
Her eyes are red from rubbing her face on Han Bingwen's shoulder to wipe her tears away. Han Bingwen took of her mask and grabbed a cloth he had in his pocket and dipped it in the lake to wipe her face.
He wiped her face gently. Lin Yu Yan's face was still gloomy the entire time and she didn't even look up at Han Bingwen as he wiped her face.
He then grabbed her hands, looked at her and said, "Yu Yan, are you okay?"
Lin Yu Yan finally looked at Han Bingwen upon hearing her name being called and looked into his eyes. Her face was still gloomy but she was able to say what she wanted to say, "Why… why did he do that to me?"
"Your brother?" asked Han Bingwen. Lin Yu Yan nodded her head.
"Well… I don't know," said Han Bingwen. 'But I'm super angry a him.'
'Why… why did he look at me in hate? Did… did I do something wrong...? No, I was only defending myself… They call my brother Captain Tang, right? I also here they call him Shengwu… Tang Shengwu… Oh?!" thought Lin Yu Yan.
'Tang Kei Yong is his foster brother. I think that's why he got mad at me… But still...'
"For him to do that to my girl…" whispered Han Bingwen. 'I don't care what excuse he has. To make my girl cry...' Han Bingwen clenched his fists.
Lin Yu Yan was thinking of an answer in her head and didn't hear what he said and asked, "What did you say?"
"No, it's nothing…" said Han Bingwen. He looked at her face to see that she may have come up with an answer as they were both thinking.
They both looked at each other in the face for a long time in silence trying to read each others expression.
'Why are you doing this for me?' Even Lin Yu Yan has been wondering for a while now, why he has been doing all this for her. Han Bingwen breaks eye contact first and is now looking down thinking of something else.
"Bingwen…?" said Lin Yu Yan.
"Huh? What is it?" said Han Bingwen looking back at her.
"I just wanted to say… Thanks. For taking me out of that place. Again... especially when people could've seen the weak side of me…" said Lin Yu Yan. She smiled at him and it made his heart beat fast.
Han Bingwen smiled back at her to show her how much the her thanks means to him. It was making her heart beat uncontrollably fast and she unconsciously said out loud, "Why are you here?"
It was too late to take back those words as she looked straight into his eyes. She always wanted to ask but had the chance to ask. Now that she said it, she just kept asking more.
"Why did you asked to stay by my side? Why are you doing this? Who... are you, Bingwen?" Lin Yu Yan finally said.
Han Bingwen wasn't sure if he could answer some of them. He looked and saw the worried face she had. 'Is it okay to say it? I'm 18. She's 14. I may look younger than my age and she may look older than her age but...'
Lin Yu Yan felt his grip on her hands tighten.
"I'm sorry for asking. You don't have to answer. I'm just… glad you are here with me," said Lin Yu Yan. She smiled to assure that no matter what the answer is, she would be fine with it.
"I love you," Han Bingwen finally said, looking straight into Lin Yu Yan's eyes. Her response made him have a little more courage to tell her what he always wanted to say to her.
Lin Yu Yan eyes widen in surprise. Her face was red from shock and from realization.
"I love you. I want to be with you forever. I see the eyes of other men making me think they might take you away before you are mine," said Han Bingwen looking down and slightly trembling. ".... You... don't have to answer me. I just... want you to know my feelings."
"Bingwen, I-"
"No. It's best if you don't answer me now."
Lin Yu Yan looked at him. Her heart was beating fast. 'Ah... That was my answer to these... unknown feelings. I love him... too.' Her cheeks were red and she smiled in happiness.
"Ah... Okay," said Lin Yu Yan.
'How nice of him… to wait for me,' Lin Yu Yan thought, knowing why she couldn't answer him.
"Let's get back to the others," said Lin Yu Yan.
"Yes... Let's," said Han Bingwen.
'It is best to stay where we are now. Because I might do something to her that I will regret.'
