Beneficial Union: Chasing A Rogue Wife

Chapter 381: Nothing is certain

Gao Lan Mei cannot confirm or deny Wei Jiayi's question. Breaking the law of life and death is a sin that she had committed to free herself from her confinement.

Is she being impatient? What if she just stayed there and not used all means to leave that place, and just she waited for more years, will someone free her?

She often questions why she needs to endure being a prisoner, thus destroying the balance is her rebellious answer to the heavens beyond for allowing her to live such a life.

Wei Jiayi does not like all the things that he is hearing from Gao Lan Mei. It is like she does not care if something happens to her. "Stop do not talk like that. Please, think about those who you will behind." His voice sounds begging.

"But, everything I said is true. Nothing is certain." Gao Lan Mei replied softly as she averted her eyes away from him. "All the things that are happening is not within my control." She added slightly pushing him away to free herself from his grip but failed as his grip just tightened. His arms circling around her waist as well.

"Jiayi you need to let go. We already talk and there are being above that are in danger. We need to do something more urgent." Gao Lan Mei reminded him that all the things that he is asking now are not that important compared to their 'talk'.

Wei Jiayi did not speak for a while then shook his head. She can already feel the frustration coming out from him, but just the way he keeps her close. "You are running away."

"I am not-"

"Yes, you are..." Wei Jiayi insisted. "I want to know what I need to do to always keep you safe. When we get out of there, who knows if the barrier is already broken? What if there is a traitor who aims at you?"

"Fine, if you do not want to admit that you are the Keeper that everyone is looking for, at least you are still a female Keeper that someone wants to hunt down." He added knowingly.

"Jiayi, don't you trust me? That is the exact reason why I am 'Merchant Lan' now." Gao Lan Mei spoke with assurance. "Let us think about the present. Not the past or the future. I am in front of you, I am not?"

Whatever the reason for her confinement, she is now free from it. If in the future the punishment of her sin of breaking the law of life and death get a hold of her, at least she has the memory of her short freedom.

If someone else is on Gao Lan Mei's position, being free after a so long, she already left the Shizi Empire the moment she is able to.

That was really her first plan, but in a short time, she learned that even though she is not traveling, she will still feel free with the beings that care for her.

The Gao family as well as the being from the Wei Palace, got close to her heart without her even realizing it.

At that very short time, she also considered Wei Jiayi to be a very important being in her life. 'Is this love?' Gao Lan Mei asked herself since she does not have any idea what the feeling is, she can only relay to the information from the books that she had read before.

Gao Lan Mei stared at Wei Jiayi intently and she can see that he have conflicting emotion. Right now, she can feel his frustration and helplessness. "Do you want to keep me so badly?" She asked playfully. "Even if I do hurt you most of the time?" To show her point, she big his arm slightly.

How many times did she bite him like this? Most of the time because she cannot handle the emotions that he is giving her. 'What about not?'
