Chapter: 1994

I saved her life and let her abilities soar to new heights, so I've also diluted that sense of guilt.

By this point, the heartache and guilt have been dispelled, leaving only a deeper appreciation for Ito Mina.

So Ye Chen gave her a wink and flashed a row of pearly whites: "Well, since it's like this, I'll be off first!"

"Alright!" Ito Mina nodded heavily, her inner sadness extreme, yet still maintained a sweet smile, saying: "Ye Chen, may you have martial success, peace, and good health!"

Martial success is a phrase that originated in China and flourished in Japan.

In ancient Japan, martial prowess was revered as the ultimate ideal, representing the pinnacle of military power.

So, in Japanese tradition, wishing someone martial success means not only wishing them good fortune but also ensuring they are unbeatable in battle, unyielding in attack, and invincible in every direction.

It can be said that it's a highest form of blessing.

Ye Chen didn't expect Ito Mina would say those words, "Wishing you martial success," and hesitated for a moment before flashing a sincere smile and bowing to her, saying loudly: "Thank you, Miss Ito Mina, we'll meet again!"

As he left, Ye Chen gazed deeply at Caicai once more before turning and walking into the security check.

At that moment, Ito Mina's tears burst forth like a dam breaking.

She watched Ye Chen's retreating back, tears falling like rain!

She was about to call out to him, "Lord Ye," hoping he would turn around and let her take another good look at him.

However, she was afraid that if she called him back, he would see her face streaming with tears and think the worst of her, assuming she was deliberately trying to show him her true feelings.

So, she suppressed the impulse to call out to him and simply stood there, watching him disappear through the doorway before turning to leave.

Just then, Ye Chen suddenly couldn't help himself and turned back to look at her.

Only one glance was enough to make Ye Chen feel as if he had been struck by lightning, standing frozen on the spot.

He had intended to turn back and bid her a polite farewell, waving at her once more.

But how could he have anticipated that in the time it took for him to turn around, the laughing and radiant Caicai would already be crying like a tearful person?

At this moment, Ye Chen felt his heart's softest spot, as if he had been struck by a blow. This feeling can be summarized in just two words: "heartache"!

Ito Nana was also unaware that Ye Chen would turn back to look at her again.

At this moment, she, as the eldest daughter of the Ito family and as a Japanese-style education recipient since childhood, had finally lost all control over herself.

At this moment, she lost all reason, crying and running towards Ye Chen, directly throwing herself into his arms and hugging him tightly.

Before Ye Chen could regain his composure, she had already gently lifted her toes and voluntarily offered her first kiss. The thin lips that were slightly salty and cold due to tears kissed Ye Chen's lips without hesitation.

At this moment, his heart was filled with a sense of reluctance and helplessness. JrNovels.com
