Chapter 1513: Chapter 1511: The Right to Pursue Happiness

Ye Xin glanced at Yang Chen, sneered, and said, "Following orders, huh?"

"Absolutely!" Yang Chen replied.

"Alright then!" Ye Xin sneered, pointed to the ground, and coldly ordered, "Squat there for me!"

Yang Chen was startled by the stern command and immediately squatted down.

"What are you doing?" Yang Chen trembled internally, looking at Ye Xin with a pitiful gaze.

"Don’t pretend to be pitiful!" Ye Xin scolded, "You know very well what you’ve done, don’t you?"

Yang Chen blinked, feeling confused, and stared at Ye Xin, "I really don’t know, what did I do?"

Ye Xin sat down, her long shapely legs crossed, creating a beautiful curve that brightened Yang Chen’s eyes.

Swish!

Ye Xin pulled over a jacket and draped it over her legs, the beautiful view immediately disappearing.

"Still want to look! Unless you explain things clearly, you’re not getting anything!" Ye Xin snorted coldly.

Yang Chen immediately said, "I’ll explain everything I know! Absolutely nothing left unsaid!"

"Very well! Let me remind you!" Ye Xin stared at Yang Chen.

Yang Chen quickly nodded, looking like a well-behaved child, squatting and watching Ye Xin.

"Don’t look at me with that innocent gaze!" Ye Xin snapped, snorting coldly, "What did you say before? Why aren’t we holding a wedding? Explain it to me!"

"Uh! (⊙o⊙)..." Yang Chen fell silent.

"Why aren’t you speaking?" Ye Xin stared at Yang Chen.

Yang Chen didn’t know how to answer.

"Just not talking? Explain something?" Ye Xin stared at Yang Chen, "Jian Feng certainly explained a lot to you; can’t I get an explanation on my side?"

Yang Chen sighed, moved closer to Ye Xin, gently held Ye Xin’s delicate hand, and said, "Xinxin, listen to me explain."

"Go ahead, then." Ye Xin said softly.

"Give me time! Just give me time, when everything settles down, I’ll hold a wedding with you and let the whole world know about us!"

"Then tell me, when will things be settled?" Ye Xin asked, looking at Yang Chen.

Yang Chen didn’t know how to answer.

"Do you think I’m with you for what? Is it for stability later? Or for my own safety? Neither! I’m with you just because I want to be with you! It’s that simple! Why do you make it complicated? As long as we can be together, that’s all that matters! What you want, what I want, we can seek together in the coming days. One day, we can achieve our goals and fulfill our dreams!" Ye Xin instead held Yang Chen’s hand, speaking sincerely and earnestly.

Yang Chen was taken aback.

He felt convinced by Ye Xin, for a bowl of thick chicken soup.

"Is this really appropriate?" Yang Chen asked, looking at Ye Xin.

Ye Xin countered, "Is it appropriate for you to keep stalling me? To stall your sister, and those brothers of yours, appropriate?"

Yang Chen fell silent again.

"You always say you haven’t settled down yet, can’t give people the stable happiness they want. Have you thought that by doing so, you make them lose the people they want to protect, want to love. Who has the time to wait for you? And do you have time to let them wait! To say something cruel, we’ve all done missions, fought life and death on the battlefield! Bullets are unseeing, who knows what will happen in the next second? Can you bear the thought that your brothers leave without having enjoyed happiness? What are they fighting for? If they haven’t even seen the tail of happiness, wouldn’t that be too unfortunate?" Ye Xin said gravely.

Hearing this, Yang Chen’s mind exploded with a buzz.

In his mind, Yang Chen kept asking himself one question.

"Isn’t it too unfortunate if my brothers, who fought alongside me for happiness, never even saw its tail!"

...

Faces flashed before him.

His instructor, Zhuo Jingyu!

His brothers...

Members of the Wolf Fang Squad!

Members of the Dragon Tooth Squad!

Brothers of the Asura Hall!

...

Too many faces flashed before Yang Chen, one by one, then disappeared.

He wanted to think hard to recall these people’s names, though he could remember, it felt laborious.

He tried hard to remember each of their outlines but found they had become very blurry.

Has he forgotten these people?

No!

He just couldn’t remember their smiling faces.

Had they been happy?

No doubt, these people were mostly saved by Yang Chen from hardships.

What were these people following him for, fighting alongside him south and north, seeking?

Clearly, it was what Yang Chen now sought.

It’s happiness, stability, a warm family!

Yet, they had given their lives for it, did they get it? Did they achieve what they wanted?

No!

Even if they gave their lives, they didn’t get what they wanted.

And he—Yang Chen! As the one leading them forward, he hadn’t allowed them to enjoy the happiness they deserved.

This was his responsibility!

Yang Chen involuntarily slumped to the ground.

"Could it be... I was wrong?"

Ye Xin watched Yang Chen’s appearance, felt a pang of heartache, quickly squatted down, sat alongside him, body at the same level, comforted, "You don’t need to blame yourself! After all, some things, you’re powerless to change."

"No! I was wrong, I shouldn’t block their right to pursue happiness!" Yang Chen said firmly.

Ye Xin shook her head, "You need to lead everyone in walking towards the right direction, it’s not your fault. I’m saying this now because I see a glimmer of hope in them. Because you’re now not in Asura Hall, but in our own country, very safe. In such a big environment, I feel they can seek their own happiness. Just, the other half needs to endure more than usual. But I believe, if two people truly love each other, they won’t mind these things. And also, I’m sure both sides will firmly believe that one day, there will be happiness belonging to them!"

Yang Chen chuckled, "You’re right! If we don’t give them the chance to pursue their happiness, we’d truly be letting them down!"

He believed Ye Xin was right, in such a safe environment, they could seek their own happiness.

"Moreover, those Asura Hall brothers of yours are far from being docile folks! Chen Siyan told me before, as Wei Xueqing said, your Longyu Group female employees have been no less troubled by your Asura Hall brothers!" Ye Xin laughed.

Yang Chen rubbed his nose, helplessly smiled bitterly, "Those kids never settle down."
