The Dragon Warrior Pair
DWP 252 - Hua Quin

Hua Ying's confession made Mei Hua, Qiao Xi and Fan Ziwei shocked. While Xue Bingyue frowned curiously and only Jing Yang was acting calm while watching Hua Ying and Hua Minha.

“Aunt Minha is Elder Hua Ying's parent?” Mei Hua swallowed in disbelief. But from Hua Ying's attitude explaining everything especially the names of the two have a lot in common.

Hua Minha with teary eyes looked at Hua Ying's face. A familiar face as Hua Ying struggled to find help after escaping the cruelty of the Single Demon Lantern.

“Mother, I missed you..” Hua Ying held onto Hua Minha's legs and cried. Hua Ying did not care about the people who saw her, right now she wanted to know Hua Minha would regret herself.

Hua Minha was grateful that at least Hua Ying still remained her honor and was still holy. Wiping her tears, Hua Minha held onto Hua Ying's arm.

“You've grown into a graceful woman, Ying.” Hua Minha smiled gently and hugged Hua Ying's body.

Jing Yang closed his eyes seeing that. The sudden atmosphere and honestly he was filled with guilt because of what happened to Hua Minha.

“I want to tell you a lot, Mom. I can't save Rongma and I don't want to burden my friends. I'm sorry, because I'm a mom having a hard time... I thank Chairman Qiaomi who realized this unease in me..” Hua Ying wiped her tears and smiled broadly at Hua Minha.

“Do you not want to meet Quin Mater?” Hua Minha stroked Hua Ying's head and sat back down.

“Let's Bu. I heard the news that Quin Ser has been paralyzed. I need courage to meet him. Surely he did not want to meet a useless sister like me..” Hua Ying sat down next to Hua Minha while bowing her head.

“Please sit..." Chu Yui invited Tao Qiaoli to sit next to him.

“It's quite surprising..” Jing Yang let out a long sigh as Tao Qiaoli sat beside Chu Yui, “Aunt Qiaomi is truly terrifying. He estimated everything.”

Tao Qiaoli laughed softly at Jing Yang's words about Murong Qiaomi's unexpected actions. While Bai Xianlin was enjoying the dish while listening to the conversation.

“Do you have the disorder of liking an old woman like us who is more worthy to be called a Aunt or worthy to be your Mother, Who is the One?” Bai Xianlin whispered so softly in Jing Yang's ear.

“Aunt Xianlin, I suggest you to shut up.” Jing Yang blushed his face because Bai Xianlin's attitude was bothering him a lot.

Fan Ziwei noticed Bai Xianlin's body and shook her head, ‘I lost. She's very sexy.’

“So become your personal advisor. Chairman Qiaomi looks freer and I myself have never seen him like this before. It could be said that you are the one who is able to change Chairman Qiaomi, the One who is.” Tao Qiaoli smiled towards Jing Yang.

“Little Emperor, you know my adopted son, right? I hope you can look after her just like you promised me to look after Quin.” Hua Minha smiled as she said that. His true intention was to utilize Jing Yang's innocence.

“Mother, what do you mean?” Hua Ying widened her eyes.

“Mother wants you and QuinRead More to have a bright future. I believe this Little Emperor will treat you well in the future. Follow the request of this one Mother, Ying. I do not want you two to fall into the hands of a dangerous man, at least the Little Emperor is honest and sincere in his words and actions.” Hua Minha looked at Hua Ying pleading.

Jing Yang scratched his head and averted his gaze to the floor, ‘Then I become Emperor Jiang, I've heard unreasonable matchmaking how many times?’

Hua Ying never expected that she would be betrothed to Jing Yang. Imagining the future of having to share a husband with her foster sister made Hua Ying shake her head.

‘I'd better follow Mom's request. Whoever my life companion is, it doesn't matter as long as he's devoted to Mother.’ Hua Ying realizes that she and Hua Quin are Hua Minha's adopted children. But Hua Ying already considered Hua Minha like her own biological mother.

Before ending this conversation, Chu Yui once again explained the plan on defending the fortress in Rongma to Tao Qiaoli and Hua Ying. With the arrival of Tao Qiaoli and Hua Ying would naturally increase the success.

Just the mere thought of ten thousand soldiers storming Rongma made Chu Yui shudder in horror if they suffered defeat. Yet strangely upon seeing Jing Yang's calm face, the fear within Chu Yui disappeared.

Before returning to the room, Jing Yang met Hua Quin to see the condition of Hua Minha's second adopted son.

A dimly lit room on the lower floor is where Hua Quin lives. It looked like a magnificent room with a big bed filled with flowers. On top of the bed was the figure of the girl leaning on the back of her bed while looking at Hua Minha.

“Mother, who is this man?” Hua Quin looked at Jing Yang blankly even as if to consider Jing Yang non-existent.

“He is Emperor Jiang now, his name is Jing Yang. He helped your mother and the people of Rongma. And the girl there is your sister.” Hua Minha introduced Jing Yang at once Hua Ying.

Hua Quin ignored Jing Yang and stared intently at Hua Ying who was smiling awkwardly at him. Hua Quin's water dripped involuntarily.

“This is impossible... Sister Ying!” Hua Quin cried loudly as Hua Ying approached her and hugged her body.

“Sorry, Quinter.” Hua Ying tightly hugged Hua Quin and could feel the frailty of the girl for enduring the suffering.

“Sister Ying, where have you been all this time? Don't you know I'm always worried about you? I thought you were dead.” Hua Quin roared like a child. Jing Yang was also saddened to see Hua Quin's expression and involuntarily shed her tears.

“Quin, forgive your brother for worrying you these past ten years, I'm home.” Hua Ying smiled wryly and shed her tears.

“Welcome back in Rongma, Sister Ying.” Hua Quin smiled, but as her eyes opened wide she saw Jing Yang shed tears.

Hua Quin and Hua Ying wiped their tears and turned towards Jing Yang. The two only realized that Jing Yang with a calm expression was shedding his tears.

“Hmm? Why am I crying?” Jing Yang wiped his tears and tried to smile, yet it felt so hard to smile.

Maybe he had always been so tough all this time that all of his pent-up emotions unconsciously came out. Jing Yang wanted to laugh but couldn't either. When his mouth opened, he just opened without a sound.

“You have also suffered so far, right? Crying away. No one knew it except the three of us. You don't have to hold it.” Hua Minha buried Jing Yang's face on her chest.

Hua Minha's warm embrace made Jing Yang cry. Perhaps because seeing Hua Ying meeting with Hua Quin made emotional Jing Yang rise up involuntarily. Jing Yang had been suppressing his feelings of weakness all along, but his weakest feelings had returned at an unexpected moment.

‘I know I've been trying to be tough, but all of this hurts a lot... No words came out and only tears kept pouring down my cheeks.’ Jing Yang cried and hugged Hua Minha's body, she spilled all the sadness she had endured all this time.

Jing Yang did not expect himself to be this weak. She did not care if Hua Ying and Hua Quin saw her like this. What flashed through his mind now was to spill all the pain he had been pending all along.

Hua Quin came to a realization as she looked at Jing Yang. The young man was younger than her and had experienced a bitter life experience like her. Seeing Jing Yang's weak side actually made Hua Quin smile to herself as she felt a thump in her heart for the first time.

Not only Hua Quin, Hua Ying also felt the same way as Hua Quin. Strange but real, love comes without permission and stops by itself. Hua Ying and Hua Quin could not choose, they were both confident that Jing Yang would become a great and responsible man in the future.

In the end Jing Yang cried for quite a long time before Hua Quin finally asked Hua Minha and Hua Ying to leave her with Jing Yang.

“Mother, Sister Ying, can leave us both. Just two. I have something to talk to him about.” Hua Quin clenched both of her hands on her chest as she looked at Jing Yang.

“Heeh, it looks like my beautiful sister is in love?” Hua Ying pinched Hua Quin's cheek.

“She's younger than me!” Hua Quin flushed her face because of Hua Ying's teasing.

Hua Minha only smiled as she looked at Hua Quin's behavior. Inside the room only left Hua Quin and Jing Yang staring at each other.

“Your name is Jing Yang right? How old are you?” Hua Quin asked as she looked at Jing Yang's meaningless face.

“Thirteen years.” Jing Yang replied briefly while nodding his head.

“Thirteen years? You're ten years younger than me? Wait a minute, I got betrothed to a boy?” Hua Quin counted her fingers repeatedly confirming the distance between her age and Jing Yang's age.

“I actually wanted to refuse, but I didn't until the heart rejected it... You suffered like this because my predecessor and your mother suffered all this time because of my predecessor... It's all my fault.” Jing Yang lowered his head.

“True once! It's all your fault! You nobles are only concerned with your interests! Basic selfish man!” Hua Quin looked at Jing Yang full of anger before closing her eyes and taking a deep breath then exhaling slowly.

“But you're different..” Changed expression Hua Quin now, “You are plain and weak, I think I like you..” Hua Quin's face turned red after saying that.

Jing Yang widened his eyes and his mouth opened without a sound.

“This-This is not what you think! I mean I don't hate honest people and have a weak side like you, don't get me wrong with what I said just now!” Hua Quin looked at Jing Yang sharply with a red met face.

“I understand..” Jing Yang nodded his head and wiped his eyes. Hua Quin invited Jing Yang to sit in her bed.

“What do you want to talk to me about?” Jing Yang sat down near Hua Quin and asked.

Hua Quin looked at Jing Yang seriously before her hand held onto the robe that Jing Yang was wearing.

“Besides me, how many women have already tied the match with you?”

A question that was difficult to answer, but Jing Yang as much as possible told Hua Quin if so far there were names of Xue Bingyue, Shen Mi and Lu Xiuyu who had been bound by an arranged marriage with him.

“So I'm the third? Hmmm, no, I'm guessing you already have a lot of candidates. Do you not realize that many women want to be your wife in the future?”

Hua Quin as if interrogating Jing Yang made Jing Yang go silent for a long time before opening her voice.

“I don't deny it.” It was relaxed and looked like there was no burden on Jing Yang's face as he said that.

“If you hesitate to keep your promise, you can back off now. You're too good for me. You might look me down if you know my past.” Hua Quin clenched her hands and stared blankly at Jing Yang.

“I will keep my promise.” Jing Yang looked seriously at Hua Quin.

“We proved it after you heard the story of my past..” Hua Quin looked back at Jing Yang's serious gaze.
