Chapter 954: Let Me Accompany You in Everything

To walk together till the end of time was impossible.

In the end, persuaded by Dongfang Jin, Baili Xia agreed to walk with him from the beach to the shore.

She had to return to the Mu family, at least for now no one in the Mu family knew that she was carrying the uncle’s child.

Though she did not know when her secret would be discovered, for now, she could only take things one step at a time.

“Don’t make any decisions on your own, promise me.”

On their way back, Dongfang Jin suddenly stopped and grabbed her by the shoulders.

He looked down to meet her gaze, his dark and bright eyes sparkling with unparalleled determination.

“You must tell me, let me know no matter what decision you make.”

Baili Xia stayed silent; she couldn’t promise him that, because, she didn’t even know herself what she would do next.

“Xiaxia,” he tightened his grip, afraid of hurting her, but still holding her tightly.

“You must promise me; otherwise, I won’t take you back today, I will take you home directly.”

“Jin.”

Baili Xia looked up into his profound eyes, which sparkled brighter than stars, steadfast, sincere, and filled with pity.

But she didn’t want to drag anyone else into this, it was a matter between her and the uncle.

Though, for her, it was more a matter she had to face alone.

“Promise me,” he continued to stare into her eyes, showing no sign of compromise.

“I don’t know,” she gently pushed him, but she couldn’t push him away.

She still met his gaze, after locking eyes with his deep ones, it was hard to look away.

She was so lonely, so helpless now, desperately needing someone else’s help and company.

But how could she selfishly pull Jin into this?

“You are not dragging me into this, but giving me a chance to protect you.”

“Whether as a brother or…

something else.”

As for “something else,” he didn’t want to clarify, nor did he want to say it at that moment.

He didn’t want these things to unsettle her even more.

“Girl, promise me, not to make any decisions on your own. I won’t allow it.”

Baili Xia bit her lip, still silent.

In fact, she knew what he was worried about; he feared she might act rashly and decide to terminate the pregnancy on her own.

Perhaps, that was the only thing she could do, the last thing she had to do.

But now, she really hadn’t made up her mind.

A sea breeze blew, causing her slender body to tremble lightly, and her lower lip turned pale from her biting, but she remained silent.

Dongfang Jin was at a loss with her; this stubborn girl, once set in her ways, was not easily swayed by anyone.

He pulled her close again, using his body to shield her from the wind, and they continued walking toward the shore together.

“Consider it me begging you, let me accompany you no matter what decisions you make. I won’t stop you, but at least let me take care of you.”

His gentle voice, carried by the sea breeze, flitted into her ears.

The sea breeze was so cool, but his voice was so warm, tender and comforting.

Finally, she nodded, and in a very soft voice, she said, “I… will try.”

Dongfang Jin didn’t press her further, feeling her slender body occasionally still shivering.

He hesitated for a moment, then pulled her close again, holding her in his arms, trying to warm her with his own body.
