Billionaire's Long Journey of Chasing His Love-Chapter 808 - 673: There’s One More Thing I Haven’t Told You

Chapter 808: Chapter 673: There’s One More Thing I Haven’t Told You

"I can’t let you suffer with me." Denton smiled and patted her shoulder, "You’ve never listened to me before, but this time, listen to me once. I’m doing this for your own good."

An Yang looked at him fixedly for a few seconds, then tears streamed down from the corners of her eyes, "I like you, I’ve liked you from the very first moment I saw you. I don’t care what hardships come my way, as long as I can be with you!"

Denton’s eyes darkened slightly, "An Yang, you’re still young. The world is so big, one day you’ll meet someone you love, who loves you too. It would be so wonderful to spend your life with him."

"Denton, what are you talking about? My heart is filled with only you. Do you think I could love anyone else? I don’t have any other wishes. I just want to grow old with you." 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

"An Yang, I’m already older than you, and since I was five, my body has been corroded by poison. Even though I’m fine now, I’ve overheard my Aunt Seven say that my life won’t be too long. I’ve only told you this because I don’t want my family to worry about me."

Your life won’t be long!? A tear as large as a pea fell from An Yang’s eyes.

"An Yang, you’re a good girl. I really can’t bear to hurt you. If we were to be together, and then I left you early, it would be better not to start at all than to leave you lonely in this world."

"Live one day, love one day. If you spend one day with me, I don’t feel it’s too short; if you spend ten years, I’ve gained." An Yang tightly grasped Denton’s arm, "Denton, if you don’t even give me the chance to love you, it would hurt me more than living alone."

Denton painfully shook his head, "An Yang, why put yourself through this? You’re still young and have met few people. If one day you encounter someone better than me, you’ll regret the decision you’ve made today."

"No one is better than you in my eyes. Anyway, I’ve set my heart on you for this lifetime! Denton, I won’t make you angry anymore. I won’t just leave. Let me stay with you, please?" An Yang hugged Denton’s waist, "I’m begging you, give me a chance to love you."

Denton sighed deeply, "An Yang, you’re the one person I wish never to harm in this world..."

With tears brimming, An Yang looked up at him, "With these words, I understand your true feelings. Let’s go home. Don’t let uncle and aunt worry about us."

"What idea?" Denton raised his hand to wipe her tears.

An Yang slightly hooked her lips, "Because you love me too, and so you don’t want to hurt me. Besides, you always leave the door open for me at night, so I can come and go from your room conveniently. You yell at me every day to get out, but every midnight when you get up, you cover me with a blanket.

You ask me about school every day because you’re worried about me. Haven’t you been in pain all this time? You’re afraid I’ll fall in love with someone else, yet you want me to do just that. I dare say, if the guy who took me home wasn’t a jerk, you might have matched us up."

"No wonder you’re not good at studying, what are you thinking about every day?" Denton lightly bumped her forehead, "Stop talking so much, I’ll take you home."

"And you?"

"I’m going out to do something."

"Denton, if you dare leave, I’ll chase you to the ends of the earth! The women of our Basui tribe dare to love and hate; once we’ve set our hearts on someone, it’s for life, and in this life, you’re mine!"

Denton gave her a headache-filled glance, "You shouldn’t have saved me in the first place, dying would have ended it all, why let us both suffer now?"

"Don’t talk nonsense!" An Yang raised her arm, using the cuff to wipe her tears, "Come on, let’s go home."

Denton looked at An Yang’s suddenly mature little face, shook his head helplessly, "Don’t tell my parents and sister what I told you."

"I know, this is our secret." An Yang smiled and took his hand, heading back to the car together.

In the end, Denton didn’t leave the house, because no matter where he went, a little tail followed.

Fearful that he would leave at night, An Yang even tied a scarf to their arms before sleeping.

"What are you doing?" An Yang felt someone untying the scarf and suddenly opened her eyes.

"I’m going to the bathroom." Denton looked at her helplessly.

"Then go ahead." After Denton went to the bathroom, An Yang quickly got out of bed and sat down in front of the bedroom door, "Hehe... let’s see how you get out, I’ll keep watch here!"

When Denton came out, he saw An Yang sitting on the floor with her knees hugged and unhappily asked, "The floor is so cold, get up."

"You’re out!" An Yang stood up from the floor with support, "I’m afraid if I fall asleep, you’ll sneak out."

Denton lifted the blanket and got back into bed, "You don’t need to tire yourself out; I’m not leaving."

"Who knows if you’ll keep your word? I’m going to keep an eye on you." An Yang smiled, taking the scarf and tying them back together.

In the early morning of the next day, after confirming multiple times that Denton wouldn’t run away, An Yang went to school.

After the first class, she called Denton to make sure he was at the office, then she made a second call.

"Sister-in-law Seven, it’s An Yang. Is this a convenient time for you to talk?"

Jimo Shanshan smiled, "It’s rare you call me Sister-in-law Seven. No matter how busy I am, I have time."

"Hehe, if you like me calling you Sister-in-law Seven, then I’ll always call you that."

"Great! You must have a reason for calling. Just say what it is, I’ll do everything I can because you called me Sister-in-law Seven."

"Sister-in-law Seven, I just want to ask, how many more years does Denton have?"

Jimo Shanshan was taken aback, "An Yang, why are you suddenly asking such a question? Denton’s poison has been cleared, and his body is as healthy as any of us."

An Yang’s face just showed a smile and then it fell again, "Sister-in-law Seven, you must be lying to me. Denton said he heard you and Aunt Seven say that his life won’t be long."

"An Yang..."

"Sister-in-law Seven, you don’t need to comfort me. I’m with Denton now. After I graduate, I’ll be his wife. I have a right to know his health condition. I beg you, tell me how many years he really has left, so I can plan our limited time together. I don’t want him leaving this world with any regrets."

Jimo Shanshan laughed out loud after she finished speaking, "An Yang, don’t be so melodramatic. We did say that, but it wasn’t as serious as you and Denton made it out to be. He can live to sixty or seventy with no problem."

"Boohoo... you scared me. I thought it was only a few years." An Yang cried in grievance.

Jimo Shanshan quickly comforted her, "An Yang, don’t cry. The average lifespan for the Xiawu tribe is eighty-two years. When Aunt Seven and I said that, we were talking based on that average. Who knew Denton would hear it? However, Denton has been taking medication to regulate his body lately. If he’s well cared for, he might even live to a hundred."

An Yang wiped the tears from her eyes, "I chose the right path studying medicine. I must take good care of him and make sure he walks after me. Oh right, Sister-in-law Seven, Denton doesn’t want his family to worry about him. Please don’t tell my sister about this."

"Hahaha... it sounds so affectionate when you call me that. I won’t tell your sister, rest assured."

"Thank you, Sister-in-law Seven. I’ll hang up now." After hanging up the call, An Yang flew back to the classroom like a little swallow.

At noon, after school, An Yang excitedly went into Denton’s office.

Denton looked up at her, "You have no classes in the afternoon?"

"No classes." An Yang smiled and said to him, "I didn’t ask you, but I enrolled in two elective courses."

"For someone as lazy as you, that’s rare. What did you enroll in?"

"Nutrition and traditional Chinese medicine."

Denton’s eyes shifted slightly as he looked down at the documents in hand, "An Yang, don’t waste your youth on me."

"An Yang, don’t be so melodramatic. It’s not as bad as you and Denton made it out to be; him living to sixty or seventy is still not a problem... Denton has been taking medication to regulate his body lately. If he’s well cared for, he might even live to a hundred..."

After listening to this recording, Denton slowly raised his head, "An Yang, is what your Sister-in-law Seven said true?"

"I was afraid you wouldn’t believe me, so I recorded it. Listen to your Sister-in-law Seven’s tone. Does it sound like she’s lying? Clearly, you misunderstood!"

Denton, not knowing what else to do, pinched his fingers, "An Yang..."

"Why are you calling me?"

Denton foolishly laughed, "I just wanted to call you."

An Yang laughed as she wrapped her arms around his neck, "Haha... Denton, you’re so adorably silly like this!"

"An Yang, I have something else I haven’t told you."
