Who would raise a villain as a wife?

He Yunjing listened to Wen Li's confession in a daze. He knew that Wen Li probably felt insecure. During the two years of torture in the orphanage, he was bullied and ignored. Wen Li had never had anyone to rely on during those two years.

But what He Yunjing didn't expect was that in the past eight years, although he had tried his best to give Wen Li the best and safest life, he still couldn't heal the trauma in Wen Li's heart.

He appeared when Wen Li needed him the most, and it was salvation, but it only lasted for a moment.

He left, leaving Wen Li in a completely unfamiliar position. He didn't trust anyone and hid his wounds, with no one to talk to.

He was probably a failed tasker, leaving Wen Li alone to lick his wounds. What kind of broken heart was hidden under his seemingly sunny and warm face?

He Yunjing didn't know clearly. He only knew what Wen Li had experienced, that Wen Li had suffered, had heavy hatred, and had unforgettable pain, but he couldn't empathize with Wen Li.

He raised his hand and gently stroked Wen Li's tearful face. It was as if he saw Hua Li crying sadly. He could distinguish the two people, but he couldn't separate them completely.

His fingers brushed across Wen Li's cheek, passed his ear, and reached the back of Wen Li's neck. He retracted his arm and pressed the back of Wen Li's neck towards himself.

Their breaths were close, their lips were touching, and He Yunjing's fingers stroked gently as if it was a kind of comfort.

Just as Hua Li was attached to him, Wen Li also desperately wanted to hold on to him.

It has nothing to do with love, it’s just that they happened to have nothing, and he happened to appear.

He Yunjing kissed her little by little, his movements very gently, with a sense of indebtedness towards Hua Li and also as a way of making up for Wen Li.

If he had known at that time that Wen Li had the same face as Hua Li, he would not be willing to leave, and he would heal the trauma in Wen Li's heart.

After the kiss, He Yunjing and Wen Li put their foreheads together, their noses touched, and their breath was ambiguous.

He said, "Then try to love me, not for what I have done, but for who I am, can you do that?"

Wen Li stared at He Yunjing with trembling eyelashes, "Will you fall in love with me too? You're not treating me as a substitute?"

"You are different from him."

"You can tell us apart, can't you?"

He Yunjing hummed, and pressed Wen Li hard on his shoulders. "You two are different, and I can separate you. But he is very important to me, and I can't forget him in a short time. I owe him this, but I won't compare you with him. If you can accept it, I will give you the support and shelter you want, until you no longer need it."

Wen Li bit her lip and then released it, "He's dead, right? You won't see each other again, and you won't hurt me for him?"

"No." He Yunjing answered very confidently. He had already left that world. It was impossible for him to see Hua Li again, nor could he completely forget Hua Li and lose his love for her in such a short time.

He could only promise to try hard to like Wen Li, not to treat Wen Li as a substitute for Hua Li, and to give Wen Li the greatest respect and love.

Wen Li felt much better after getting He Yunjing's affirmative answer. He immediately took action and reached out to pull He Yunjing's clothes.

He Yunjing immediately caught it and asked Wen Li in the ear, "What are you doing?"

Wen Li shrank his neck and looked puzzled, "Didn't you agree to it? Are you not going to continue?"

Keep going!

He Yunjing couldn't help but curse in his heart, pinching Wen Li's chin and lifting it up, "Let's fall in love first. Going to bed without emotional foundation is called satisfying lust."

Wen Li couldn't help laughing and held He Yunjing's wrist with both hands, "Uncle He is really innocent."

"This is called respect." He Yunjing emphasized that he did not want to be a creature who thinks with his lower body.

Wen Li was still smiling, glancing down vaguely, "Uncle He, are you sure you don't want to continue?"

He Yunjing snorted in annoyance, loosened his hand that was holding Wen Li's chin, picked him up by Wen Li's thigh, and turned back to the room.

He Yunjing threw him on the bed angrily and warned him, "Sleep well and don't move, or I'll throw you out."

"Got it. Don't move around. Go take a shower." Wen Li obediently crawled into the bed with a look that said, "I understand, I understand. Hurry up."

He Yunjing suppressed his anger and went back into the bathroom. When he came out after he got himself back on his feet, Wen Li was already asleep on the bed.

Probably because he drank some wine and vented his emotions, which relaxed him mentally, Wen Li slept soundly.

He Yunjing lay down quietly and began to think about what to do after the mission was completed. He had already threatened the system once, so this time he planned to exploit a bug.

Moreover, the human lifespan in the ordinary world is at most a hundred years, so staying here won’t waste much time, so it should be fine.

But he underestimated Wen Li's sleeping posture. The person next to him began to move around in a daze, as if he had a nightmare, with his brows tightly furrowed and looking very uneasy.

After being woken up, He Yunjing immediately turned to check, and felt distressed when he saw Wen Li curled up and shivering.

He reached out and gently held the person in his arms, holding the back of Wen Li's head with one hand and stroking his back with the other, whispering softly, "Don't be afraid, it's just a dream."

Is it just a dream?

Wen Li was thinking in a trance, and those images that made him run away in fear suddenly shattered. He slowly opened his eyes and felt the warmth of the body hugging him, the gentle touch on his back, and the rub on his head.

It was a smell that made him feel at ease. Wen Li quickly closed his eyes and fell asleep again, forgetting all the unpleasantness.

Feeling the relaxation of the person in his arms, He Yunjing quickly realized something: Does Wen Li often have nightmares?

How did he survive every nightmare?

Will I be suddenly awakened and fall into darkness with no one to comfort me?

And then stay awake alone in the darkness until dawn?

Wen Li is now 19 years old and already an adult, but what about Wen Li eight years ago? How did the 11-year-old Wen Li manage to survive day by day?

The more He Yunjing thought about it, the more guilty he felt. He already felt guilty towards Hua Li, so did he want to hurt Wen Li again?

He Yunjing didn't want to fail like that, nor did he want Wen Li to experience the same distress as Hua Li. He felt that he should have a good talk with Wen Li.

It was already very late when Wen Li woke up. He opened his eyes dazedly and saw the chat interface on his phone. His thumbs quickly tapped on the keyboard to reply to messages.

It took him a while to figure out the situation. Did he sleep in He Yunjing's arms all night?

He moved his body and lay back down, turned his head to look at He Yunjing who was still replying to messages on his side, opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.

"Are you awake? Do you want to sleep a little longer?"

He Yunjing asked, but his hand did not stop replying to the message.

He originally wanted to get up, but Wen Li refused to let go and his phone was vibrating continuously. He thought there was nothing to worry about, so he changed his position and hugged Wen Li from behind, letting him sleep a little longer while he replied to the message.

Wen Li looked at the time. It was already ten o'clock in the morning. He slept for a long time.

He shook his head, stood up and sat, staring at He Yunjing blankly, "Are you still going to the company today? Did I delay your work?"
