Assassin Dad and His Genius Daughter

Chapter 48 Promise

After Jing Xue vented her grievances, the both of them stopped talking for a very long time as though they were immersed in the quiet and tranquilness of the night.

Ren Ye took the necklace and placed it against his chest, "Was my rebirth related to you?"

"Mm."

Jing Xue mumbled audibly as she wiped her tears away, her eyes werein color as she pursed her lips tightly.

Ren Ye's heart throbbed, "I…"

"You don't need to apologize, I didn't do it for you to pity me," Jing Xue interrupted him calmly. Ren Ye stopped speaking and lowered his head silently.

Ren Ye took her hand and wrapped it with his warm palms, trying to soothe the pain inside her heart. He smiled slightly and caressed her face, "You…"

He didn't know what to say to her except a thank you. He didn't want to pity nor did she want him to feel guilty for what she did for him. Despite lacking in emotional growth, Ren Ye understood what it meant to sacrifice one's life for another.

This caused Ren Ye's heart to be extremely touched and even more, smitten with her.

"You also don't need to repay me with anything. I diofit out on my own accord," Jing Xue knew what he wanted to say but she didn't wish for him to feel any guilt toward her.

Ren Ye didn't speak as he nodded his head, "I have nothing to say."

He was rather speechless for whatever she did for him.

He could envision the pain she was in when he died on the pillar, she was one of his closest companions in besidesst beside his sworn brother.

He realized he had left her in the dark for many years and it may be time for him to start ing back for her kindness.

Jing Xue rubbed her sore eyes gently as shgratefullyracefully at him, "I also met him."

Him, Jing Xue referred to the German guy she had met in France.

Ren Ye suddenly raised his eyebrow as he looked at her with interest, he rubbed his hands against each other nervously.

"He goes by a different name now," Jing Xue said softly as she laid her eyes on Ren Ye's face, observing any changes in his expression as she muttered softly, "Rein Lang."

Rein Lang was the man who had killed Ren Ye in the past, his codename was San Er. Ren Ye addressed him as Second Brother in the past and San Er was Ren Ye's closest companion.

"He tried to kill me back in France, thankfully my cousin protected me before he could come close to me," Jing Xue chuckled bitterly with a nostalgic face, Ren Ye's face was replaced with a shocked expression.

"He? He also came to this world?" Ren Ye couldn't help but ask with a perplexed tone.

"Mm, he killed himself right after he killed you," She mumbled calmly with a strange expression, Ren Ye suddenly closed his mouth and allowed Jing Xue to explain herself.

"He felt extremely guilty right after that incident and The King tried to capture him as well."

"Not only that, he cursed me for dooming his best friend," Jing Xue chuckdeprecatinglyprecately at herself.

"I can't blame him for that and he specifically told me he came here to kill me again for what I did in the past."

Jing Xue let out a gloomy laugh as she turned her hazy eyes to look at Ren Ye with a pretty smile, "You shouldn't hate him for it when you see him."

San Er or Rein Lang in his life, was an orphan friend of Ren Ye who had been with him through life and death multiple times. It could be said they swore to be brothers for the rest of their lives.

San Er was vengeful and often blamed Jing Xue for Ren Ye's misfortune, it was to be expd he had still harbored hatred toward her.

"I want to see him," Ren Ye suddenly spoke up after a long time of not speaking, he glanced at her with determined eyes.

Jing Xue curled her lips, "He is currently in France."

"He is assigned to protect the President at that time when I met him, he came to see his friend and found me at the hospital."

"He will be more than happy to find that you are still alive because he came to me, looking for you and even tried to kill me for not knowing who you were at that time…"

"…"

Ren Ye nodded his head and rubbed her palm gently, "I am happy to see you again."

Jing Xue didn't speak as she lowered her eyes calmly, clenching her fists tightly before loosening. She pursed her lips and seemed to be conflicted as she suddenly raised her head and Ren Ye saw her slightly emotional eyes.

"Ye, I don't like my current life."

Ever since coming to this life, she had these worries for many days and often felt she would bring trouble to him if he was to ever be with her. It was aif lmost as there was a pattern pulling her away from Ren Ye.

Ren Ye slightly nudged her and looked at her with gentle eyes, Jing Xue felt rather emotional.

"My current life is restricted by my lifestyle and my family."

Being in the public spotlight, Ren Ye being with her couldmuchd to many scrutiny and media exposure to him and her. Jing Xue knew Ren Ye never liked to attract unwanted attention to him even when she was with him in the past.

"I know," Ren Ye replied calmly.

"My family doesn't know about Ren Jia yet and they currently want me to find a man who is from a prominent background. This is why in the media, you often find me with rich and older men."

Jing Xue wanted to tell him her true thoughts and her current life condition, hoping Ren Ye was willing to be considerate of her. She had said to herself that if Ren Ye was unwilling to accept her family, she was still willing to turn her back on her parents and be with him.

Ren Ye didn't reply as he appeared to be deep in his thoughts, he smiled softly and rubbed her ears.

"Do you think your parents could stop us?"

"Ye, I am afraid they would bring harm to you and especially those from my mother's side of the family."

Jing Xue descended from an old lineage, awhichage where the Death flows through. Her mother's side of the family was the top family in Beikang and when Jing Xue decided to debut in the entertainment industry, they were extremely against her decision.

Although they eventually warmed up to her decision, the men who tried to get with him often ended up being skinned alive or deprived of life.

Jing Xue wanted to protect Ren Jia and Ren Ye from them but there was only one way for them right now. They had to remain low-key for a couple of years before Jing Xue get to inherit her grandfather's inheritance and protection from her father's side of the family.

"I want to be honest with you as well since you have decided to tell me about your family," Ren Ye said in a straight-forward tone, "I am currently doing missions and I'm trying to get rich right now."

"I know yourwantnts wants you to find a stable family, give me a few years and I will live up to their expectations, " Ren Ye caressed her cheeks gently as he spoke straight to her face, "I won't allow what happened in the past to happen again."

"I hope to gain courage through you."

Upon hearing these words from renhad  Ye, who never been a talkative person and often shied away from expressing his thoughts with her. Jing Xue became increasingly emotional as tears startedino form in the corner of her eyes.

She suddenly raised both of her hands and sniffled, her emotions went out of control in front of Ren Ye.

Ren Ye was understanding and knew she wanted to protect him but Ren Ye didn't fear them. He only wanted to live up to Jing Xue's expectation of him and hopefully get to live the life they didn't get to live in the past.

"I don't want you to be in danger because you want to please my parents," Jing Xue sobbed quietly, she suddenly wrapped his hands around hers and she raised them to press against her cheek.

? "I am not doing it for them, I am doing it for you. I am sorry I didn't get to do what youcted from. As a lover, I have failed miserably," Ren Ye replied with a peaceful expression.

He suddenly curled his lips into a smile, "Ren Jia will get to live a safe life we had wanted her to in the past and I will promise to be a lover and husband to you."

Jing Xue extended her arms and wrapped him around her, she pressed her moist lips against his as Ren Ye reprocriated her kiss with the same energy she had.
