Chapter 421 Mireya's Confession

Chapter 421 Mireya's Confession

??Yuan thought Mireya's embarrassed expression was cute, so he approached her with a little smile. "Mireya, what do you want to talk to me about privately? Is it something important?"

"T-That's correct. It is quite essential to me." Mireya nodded, her face flushed, and her heart pounded like a drum.

'It's so uncomfortable to express it; how am I expected to declare my feelings to him at this point?! I need to gather my courage and reveal my feelings to him!' She thought and a determined expression emerged on her face, so she clenched her hands tightly and took a deep breath to calm herself down.

What is she thinking about? Is she having problems expressing her feelings to me? But she looks adorable like this...I wish I could see her genuine appearance now." Yuan couldn't help but visualize Mireya's genuine appearance as she blushed.

Although he has heard about elves and is aware of their existence, he is now traveling with two of them. However, he had never seen an Elf in person before, not even the previous Yuan before the current Yuan took over the body.

Elves are rarely seen in human society these days due to the strife between the two species. Elves are lovely creatures with a serene demeanor that prefer a peaceful lifestyle and seek to keep as close to nature as possible.

However, humans are selfish and jealous of the Elf's beauty, resulting in strife. Meeting an Elf in human culture is thought impossible, which is why Yuan had never encountered one before, and he was fascinated by Mireya's true look.

Yuan smiled as he noticed Mireya's hesitation and continued, "Mireya, you may tell me anything; I'll listen to whatever you have to say to me, and I promise I won't be furious at you even if you say something you shouldn't."

"So, please say whatever you want to say to me; I'm listening." He remarked, attempting to boost her confidence and encourage her to express her affection for him.

While Mireya was completely unaware of his sentiments, hearing his consoling words made her feel quite comfortable, and she gained the courage to reveal her affections to him.

She took a long breath, breathed, and glanced at Yuan, flushed.

"Y-Yuan, I am not sure how to convey this to you...But I've developed romantic feelings for you." She paused briefly before saying, "I'm in love with you, Yuan..."

I love you…!" She spoke with a flushed face and wavering voice due to nervousness.

'I-I did it! I've finally admitted my feelings to him!' She exclaims enthusiastically, her heart pumping faster and faster as she waits for his response.

She glanced at him uneasily, waiting for his answer to her confession; the air was thick with tension and suspense, and everything else seemed silent to her.

"It took you long enough to express your love to me, Mireya. I assumed you would never confess to me and keep your feelings hidden forever...It looks like I was mistaken..." Yuan replied a moment later, his voice calm and polite, with a hint of astonishment and appreciation.

Mireya was so taken aback by Yuan's response that she forgot to breathe properly; nevertheless, she was also perplexed by his response because she did not receive the response she expected from him, but he did not deny her love for him.

'He hasn't rejected me yet...does that indicate he has feelings for me too? But why isn't he providing me with the answers I need?' Mireya was perplexed by this, and she wondered why Yuan hadn't told her whether he had accepted her feelings or not.

Seeing Yuan staring at her silently made her uneasy since she hadn't received the answer she was seeking from him. She bit her lips in irritation as she waited for Yuan to respond.

The air was thick with expectancy as both of them stared silently at each other. Yuan abruptly took a step forward and approached her with a smile on his face.

'What will he do now?' Mireya wondered uncomfortably.

"You should've been bolder and confessed to being long ago instead of keeping your sentiments firmly hidden in your heart simply because you're afraid to confess to me," Yuan suddenly vanished from his location and emerged behind her, whispering into her ears in a soft tone.

He quickly wrapped his arms around her slim waist and whispered, "Look how long you have kept me waiting... But it was equally my fault for not making the effort to face you, as the feelings are reciprocal."

Mireya's eyes widen when she hears this, and she immediately turns around with an astonished expression. "D-What does that mean...?"

"Of course, Mireya, I am in love with you too." Yuan smiled and lightly brushed his finger across her gorgeous pink delicate lips.

"Really?!" Mireya could not believe in her ears; she felt as if she was dreaming right now.

Yuan cupped Mireya's face and brought his face closer to hers, which astonished her. Before Mireya could say anything, Yuan placed his lips on her soft, sweet lips and began passionately kissing her.

'How soft! Her lips are soft and pleasant, and it feels fantastic...It's as soft and juicy as one would expect from an elf's lips!' Yuan exclaims inside, shocked by Mireya's gentle lips.

A minute later, Yuan broke the kiss and smiled at her. "Does this address your question?"

"You kissed me... I can't believe it; am I not dreaming?!" Mireya was taken aback by Yuan's unexpected kiss, and her cheeks flushed scarlet with shame and confusion.

"I'm overjoyed now that a great burden has been lifted off my heart," Mireya said, a dazed expression on her face, her voice barely above a whisper as she leaned against Yuan's chest.

As soon as she leaned on him, she felt at ease and protected; it was the first time she had been so intimate with the opposing gender.

'Is this how it felt to be embraced by a man? This is the first time I've felt this comfortable and safe.' She thought, a gentle smile spreading across her face as she closed her eyes in delight.

Yuan couldn't help but chuckle gently when she saw Mireya's delighted expression, which she noticed and laughed along with.

She quickly buried her face in his chest and embraced him firmly. "Thank you for accepting me, even though I am an Elf and the enemy of the human species. I hope you continue to make me happy and love me."

Yuan hugged her back, softly kissed her on the forehead, and added, "You should already know that I don't care about mortal concerns, so don't discuss such topics with me in the future."

"I understand, Yuan." Mireya nodded with a sweet grin.

Yuan grabbed her hand and pulled her in for another passionate kiss. Mireya placed her arms around his neck and kissed him passionately.

Mireya was astounded by how fantastic kissing Yuan felt; she had no idea that kissing could feel so nice, and she wanted to kiss Yuan more and feel the lovely sensation she was experiencing.

'Kissing him felt so nice... I see why Miss Anna and Miss Grace kissed him so passionately.' She had a thought.

After the intense kiss, Yuan smiled and remarked, "Let's return to the tent now, everyone must be hungry for some 'answers' from us…not that I mind explaining everything."

"Do you never hide anything from them?" She inquired, curious.

"I never keep secrets from them, but that doesn't mean I don't have any. It's only that they understand that I'm not yet ready to share those secrets with them." Yuan replied a little later.

'Because he never lies to his family, everyone is so passionate about him, and none of his women are jealous of one another, and they're so harmonious together.' Mireya smiled as she realized she had now joined his family.

Meanwhile, back in the tent, everyone had an expectant and eager expression on their faces as they stared at the enormous tree where Mireya took Yuan.

Sylvia was the most nervous since she was unsure whether Mireya had succeeded in revealing her affection to Yuan or not. If she confessed her sentiments to him, did Yuan embrace or reject them?

"Mom, do you believe Mireya expressed her sentiments to Yuan?" Lily asked her mother Anna with an expectant expression on her face; the instant Mireya told Yuan to see her in private, she understood Mireya was about to confess her affections to him.

Anna chuckled. "Confessing? Knowing my dear's personality, they've already exchanged a passionate kiss."

"Haha~! That is expected of our sweetheart! After all, he is my flesh and blood, and he is pretty courageous!" Grace burst out laughing, her face beaming with pride.

"If my estimate is true, they must have completed their business and are preparing to return here."

"I fell for him because of his daring personality and immense power!" General Valeira joined in with a huge grin on her face; she believed Yuan was a strong man, and a strong man must have several women at his side.

Shortly, two individuals emerged from behind the tree and approached Anna and the others' tent.

Anna, seeing Yuan and Mireya come to the tent, smiled and asked, "So, Mireya, how did it go? Were you successful?"

"Well, I'm a part of your family now, mother-in-law Anna," Mireya said, flushing and covering her face with her hands, embarrassed for calling her mother-in-law'.
