Chapter 401 Business
At this moment, Wei Jinmo's gaze fell on Su Muyao, his eyes barely daring to blink, afraid that it was a hallucination before his death, afraid that he had misheard these words. His throat bobbed, wanting to say something, but he was afraid...

He probably feared that everything he saw was just wishful thinking.

It is because unrealistic expectations lead to illusions.

He wanted to hold her tightly, wishing he could meld her into his very bones, yet he was afraid that if he moved or reached out, everything before him would turn into nothingness.

Belatedly realizing it, Wei Jinmo murmured softly, "Is all of this true?"

His body trembled slightly, and the fear in his eyes was gradually replaced by excitement, but there was also a hint of caution in that excitement, as if he was afraid that everything in front of him was just an illusion. "I'm afraid that all of this is just my illusion."

Su Muyao looked up at Wei Jinmo and saw his fragile, trembling, and cautious expression.

Su Muyao's nose tingled, and she hugged him tightly, saying, "It's true."

"This is not an illusion, Wei Jinmo, I've come to find you. I like you and I care about you."

At this moment, Su Muyao spoke her mind.

She didn't want to have any regrets; now that she understood her own heart, she would admit it.

Hearing these words of confirmation while being held tightly by Su Muyao, Wei Jinmo's dim eyes suddenly lit up.

Only then did he feel his heart come alive again.

"I've finally waited for this day."

He finally won her heart.

So even if he were to die at this point, he probably wouldn't have any regrets.

He then slowly reached out to hug her.

But his wrists were chained, and every time he moved his arm, the chains made a sound.

Su Muyao took out the Azure Lotus Sword and directly severed the chains that had lost their restrictive power.

The moment the chains snapped, Wei Jinmo pulled Su Muyao into his arms.

The moment Wei Jinmo hugged Su Muyao, his heart trembled with excitement; he wanted to pull harder but dared not.

He lowered his head to smell her scent, closed his eyes, and buried his head in her neck.

"Mu Yao, I love you, I love you so much."

Only he himself knows how much he loves her.

Previously, he could only address her as Miss Su and dared not call her by her name.

Now that she had given him her own permission, he dared to call out the name he had repeated countless times in his heart.

"I thought you would never forgive me. I never dared to hope for that day, nor did I dare to even think about it."

Yes, Wei Jinmo never dared to think about these things.

Even now, he dared not mention becoming her beastly husband again.

He was afraid of ruining what he had worked so hard to obtain.

Being too concerned can lead to anxiety and a loss of one's true self.

But he was happy with it.

Su Muyao could feel the deep affection and vulnerability surrounding him at that moment, and her heart ached and softened. She calmed herself down and tried to get out of Wei Jinmo's arms.

But Wei Jinmo was holding her tightly at that moment.

"Jinmo, I want to tell you something important."

Wei Jinmo then slightly released Su Muyao.

Su Muyao looked up at him and met his reddened eyes, which were filled with the preciousness of something lost and then regained. "Yes, go ahead."

He would listen attentively to whatever she said.

Every moment he spent with her was an incredibly precious memory. She asked softly, "Wei Jinmo, I want to ask you seriously, are you willing to be my beast husband?"

Upon hearing these words, Wei Jinmo's breath hitched, and the light in his eyes shone brightly.

Looking into Su Muyao's earnest eyes, he slowly curved a weak yet incredibly gentle smile onto his lips. That smile was like the first ray of sunshine when the ice and snow were melting, dispelling the surrounding chill and also dispelling all the barriers and hesitations in their hearts.

He nodded earnestly and solemnly, "That is exactly what I wish for!"

Although his voice was still weak, it was full of hope, determination, and joy.

Su Muyao hadn't forgotten the most important matter.

Even with her experience, Su Muyao still felt a little embarrassed at this moment.

If conditions permit, she wants to take things slowly with Wei Jinmo.

But the current situation doesn't allow it; there are too many dangers outside.

She didn't even know when someone had broken in.

Once this is discovered, she probably won't be able to get in and take Wei Jinmo away next time.

"Um, I... there's something I'd like to discuss with you."

When Su Muyao said this, she lowered her head, her face was still a little hot, and her heart was beating fast.

Wei Jinmo looked down at her with gentle, watery eyes, "No need to discuss it. I will support you in whatever you want to do."

"I will cooperate with whatever is needed."

"Mu Yao need not worry."

Hearing this, Su Muyao felt a little calmer and said, "I think... I think we should form a bond now. What do you think? Can you accept that?"

boom……

These words struck Wei Jinmo like a thunderbolt.

No matter how much he guessed or thought about it, he never expected it to be this.

His heartstrings snapped open in an instant, and his body suddenly froze.

His gentle smile suddenly froze, the light that had just shone in his eyes seemed to be paused, leaving only shock, and he even forgot to breathe.

His hand around Su Muyao's waist loosened slightly without his notice, but then, as if afraid she would run away, he quickly clenched it again, his knuckles turning slightly white from the force.

He opened his mouth, but found that he couldn't even utter a complete sentence; he could only make faint, breathy sounds.

His previously dim eyes suddenly seemed to light up like stars, but the light was still mixed with a bit of disbelief and fear, as if everything in front of him would turn into a bubble in the next second.

"You... what did you say?" Belatedly realizing what was happening, Wei Jinmo found her voice, but when she spoke, it was even hoarser than before, with a slight, almost imperceptible tremor.

He stared intently at Su Muyao's face, as if trying to find any trace of a joke in her eyes.

Hearing her admit that she cared about and liked him, and asked him to be her beast husband, was already the biggest surprise of his life. But the words "bond" struck him like a thunderbolt, making him slow to react.

Seeing his expression, Su Muyao explained softly, "It's about forming a bond. I know it's a bit abrupt and sudden."

“Doing this might make you feel a little wronged, but…”

Before Su Muyao could finish explaining, Wei Jinmo snapped back to reality and interrupted her, quickly saying, "I'm not wronged, it's not sudden or abrupt, I'm willing."

"I just couldn't believe it."

He longed to become her true beastly husband immediately; only after forming a bond would he truly belong to her.

His Adam's apple bobbed violently, and his eyes instantly reddened again, but this time not because of vulnerability, but because of extreme excitement and ecstasy.

Wei Jinmo dared not delay, fearing that if he hesitated even for a moment, Su Muyao would regret it.

His eyes were still glistening with tears, yet filled with tenderness and deep affection. His fingertips, which had been trembling with excitement, now moved as gently as if afraid of mishandling a fragile treasure when they touched her cheek.

"Mu Yao, my wife..." His voice was still a little hoarse, but much calmer than before. His gaze traced her features inch by inch, as if trying to etch them into his very bones. "May I... kiss you?"
