Young Master Gu, Please Be Gentle Novel - Chapter 874

Lu Jinwen was actually holding a gun to himself, banking on his life to get Lin Xuanji to stay.

 Jun Mosheng’s expression changed slightly. He looked at Lu Jinwen, then at Lin Xuanji. Lin Xuanji’s footsteps slowed and stopped.

 Jun Mosheng gave a final sigh in his heart. He knew that even if he tried his whole life, he would never be able to enter Lu Jinwen and Lin Xuanji’s world. It was too intense and terrifying.

 In fact, all those years ago when he and Xuanji had put on an act with him pressing down on her, Lu Jinwen had rushed to her and kicked the door down. It was then that he knew.

 It was only then that Lin Xuanji stopped in her tracks and turned to look at Lu Jinwen. Lu Jinwen who was frozen on the spot gradually softened. She had stopped. He had managed to get her to stay!

 He quickly ran up to her and reached out to pull her into his embrace.

 He buried his head in her fragrant neck and pressed his soft lips deeply and lovingly against her hair. He mumbled huskily, “Xuanji, I knew that you would stay. I knew you wouldn’t be able to leave me. I knew that you still loved me as much as I love you.”

 Lin Xuanji’s arms fell limp by her side. She neither struggled nor reciprocated, only stood there quietly letting him hug her.

 But this embrace was enough to satisfy Lu Jinwen. Her soft, warm body made him feel safe, and he liked that.

 Lu Jinwen let go of her, and thrust his hand in her direction. “Xuanji, look at this.”

 Lin Xuanji looked down. He opened his large palms. There was a colorful dandelion lying on his palm.

 A colourful dandelion.

 It had bloomed from the seed she had planted in Bangkok 1 all those years ago. That day in Bangkok 1, the colorful dandelions in her hands had already flown away.

 But now, one of them lay in his palm.

 “Xuanji, you said our love has grown tired and scattered, vanishing into nothing like these dandelions. But it actually hasn’t. I’m clutching this dandelion tightly in my hands. I’m still holding on tightly to the love I have for you. Even after all these years, I haven’t let go at all.”

 With that, Lu Jinwen raised the corners of his thin lips slowly. “Xuanji, please stay. Don’t leave me, I will never be able to let you leave. In the future, if you ever leave me, I will go to the ends of the earth, to heaven and to hell to get you back. I’m willing to become a demon for you.”

 Lu Jinwen’s words echoed through the entire main lobby, reverberating in everyone’s ears. In the near future, these words would eventually come to fruition.

 To heaven and to hell. He was going to chase her to the ends of the world!

Not bad, he was going to go against the will of the heavens and change his fate!

 Lin Xuanji lowered her eyes to look at the colourful dandelion in his palm, then raised her hand and slapped the dandelion out of his palm.

 Her palm hit his loudly. The dandelion fell down, and quickly drifted away into the skies.

 Dandelion.

 His dandelion.

 No! Lu Jinwen ran forward quickly, chasing after the dandelion.

He pushed his way through the crowds, raising his head up and reaching upwards to catch the dandelion. His footsteps were frantic and hurried, and he almost fell at the door. In that moment, this emperor-like man looked uncharacteristically flustered and pathetic.

 But his hands caught at empty air. A light breeze swept by, and the dandelion floated out of sight quickly.

 He didn’t manage to catch the dandelion.

 He hadn’t let go all these years. But now, he had.

 Lu Jinwen knitted his eyebrows together. His eyes were rimmed with red. Turning around, he took big steps towards Lin Xuanji and clutched her shoulders with his large palms and he laughed. “It’s alright. Even if that dandelion has flown away, we can always plant another. As long as you stay, I will plant dandelions with you in the future. Is that alright?”

 Lin Xuanji pushed him away. “Lu Jinwen, you already know my answer. I won’t stay.”

 Hearing her words, he squeezed her shoulders tightly and interrupted her with an angry howl. “Lin Xuanji!”

 Lin Xuanji turned pale. He was hurting her.

 Realizing the pained expression on her face, Lu Jinwen froze. He reflexively drew his hand back and placed them on his forehead. It was all a mess. What was he supposed to do now?

 “Xuanji, stay. What do you want me to do? Do you want me to get on my knees and admit my wrongdoings?

 “Alright. Stay, and I’ll make sure that every night I’ll kneel on a washboard. If you don’t let me get in bed, I’ll wait at the door until you aren’t angry anymore. What ever I tormented you with in the past, you can return to me in the future. I’ll follow your every word. I promise not to retaliate when you hit or scold me. Xuanji, is that alright? Will that do?”

 The crowd was silent.

 As though they had dog food shoved down their throat. No one expected this emperor of the Capital to become such a loyal dog after being subdued by a woman.

 This was probably Lu Jinwen’s type of love confession. He had always been strong-willed and tyrannical.

 Lin Xuanji’s face remained unchanged. She shook her head. “Lu Jinwen, it’s not possible. No matter what you do, I will be leaving.”

 Before she was even finished with her words, Lu Jinwen raised his arms and put the gun to his head again.

 “If you leave now, I’ll kill myself. I don’t believe it, I don’t believe that you would be so heartless towards me.”

 Lin Xuanji took one look at him, and turned her back.

 She was leaving.

 In the end, she was still leaving!

 His life and death already had nothing to do with her. Even if he were to die, she would not look back at him again.

 This knowledge made Lu Jinwen feel as though his heart had been emptied. “Lin Xuanji!” he screamed her name, and with bloodshot eyes, pulled the trigger.

 Someone screamed. Lu Jinwen had really shot himself!

 He had shot himself at point-blank range!

 The bullet would bore through his brain, and splatter blood all over the place.

 Lu Jinwen was going to die.

 But the bullet that everyone was expecting, never appeared. There were no bullets in the gun. He had fired a blank.

 Lu Jinwen’s handsome features turned sharp and cold. He pressed his thin lips hard together tightly, until it was only a white line. He looked at the gun in his hand. Why were there no bullets?

 At this moment, Lin Xuanji’s cold, taunting laugh sounded beside his ear. “Lu Jinwen, what’s the meaning of this act?”

 Lu Jinwen raised his eyes to look at Lin Xuanji. She stood beside the door, looking at him lightly.

 She knew he had done it on purpose!

 He had nothing!

 Now he really had nothing!

 His muscles tensed as his red-rimmed eyes burned. He glared viciously at Butler Ye.

 Butler Ye lowered his head.

 Lin Xuanji looked over at Butler Ye as well. She already knew that there were no bullets in the gun, or else it was impossible that Butler Ye didn’t react even when Lu Jinwen held a gun to his head.

 Lu Jinwen raised his hands and threw his gun to the ground. The gun landed on the floor and shattered the silence.

 The atmosphere of the entire main hall was thick with tension, when an old, yet dignified voice sounded in everyone’s ears. “Lu Jinwen, have you had enough?”
