Chapter 83 Entanglement of Love

  "No, I didn't mean it that way. How could you think that?" Mo Yier knew that Chu Yan was not one to easily express his emotions. He was good at hiding them. But once he did show them, it meant he really cared. Mo Yier had previously been awkward about their direct feelings for each other. But seeing the hurt Chu Yan, she couldn't bear to look at him. "I just wanted to have my own cave, that's all. Before I came here, I was always sleeping in a single room, on a single bed... Ah, it means I want to live alone in a cave and sleep on a kang."

  "Oh. Won't one person be very lonely?" Chu Yan saw Mo Yier with a slightly urgent look, and felt a bit relieved in his heart, understanding that Mo Yier wasn't really trying to avoid him.

  "Sometimes it's lonely, but I always have my own little secrets that I don't want others to know." Mo Yier really hoped that Chu Yan could understand her feelings. She didn't want so many people sleeping together, doing things with everyone knowing clearly. If in the future she also had a man, she couldn't do it with someone by her side, there would be shadows.

  "I understand. But that cave has already been given to Sila. To get the cave, we need to excavate another one." Chu Huo thought for a moment. The other caves were used for storing things, and for now, it was really impossible to give Mo Yier her own cave.

  "Alright then. If Silmara leaves, can you promise me I can move in?"

  "It's okay." Chu Yan seemed to have compromised. He really wanted Mo Yi to always sleep by his side. But he gradually learned not to hold onto Mo Yi too tightly. He had to let her go and let others win her heart.

  "Chu Yan, you're too good." Mo Yi'er excitedly jumped up. This matter was the most difficult to handle. Unexpectedly, Chu Yan really agreed. Even if Yao Nu said something later, Mo Yi'er wouldn't be afraid anymore.

  "Heh heh, is that all? Moye, can you tell me why you quietly left for the Langya tribe by yourself? Was it you who knocked me out?" Chu Yan finally had a good opportunity to have a nice talk with Moye. The current atmosphere was not bad, and he couldn't miss this chance.

  "I just want to calm down."

  "Oh, this is indeed very consistent with your style of doing things. But why didn't you tell me? Why did you knock me out?" Chu Yan still wouldn't let go of the matter. "Was it you who hit me? Or was it Xiao Rong? You were already together with him back then, weren't you?"

  Chu Zhuo was indeed a shrewd tribal leader. Even when it came to himself, he could still make very clear judgments.

  "How did you know?" Mo Yier was usually clever, but in front of Chu Yan, it was useless.

  "When did you... exactly meet him? Is it related to your pet, Xiao Rong?" Chu Yan was very perceptive and had his own intuition and speculations, hoping to get answers from Mo Yier.

  But Mo Yi'er was not going to tell him that, at least not now. She didn't want others to think of herself and Xiao Rong as monsters. "We shouldn't have knocked you out, but I really didn't want to face you at the time."

  "Mo Yu'er, what did I do wrong? Why did you suddenly change?"

  "Chu Wei. I don't remember what we said back then. I only remember why I felt uncomfortable in my heart."

  "Why? Is it because we had a fight?"

  "No. Chu Huo, I'm asking you. You must answer me seriously and honestly." Mo Yier looked into Chu Huo's eyes, which were as deep and profound as a vast ocean, and said solemnly.

  "Okay. Go ahead and ask. I'll answer you carefully and seriously."

  "Chu Huo. If I weren't a goddess. Just an ordinary woman. Not clever. Not good-looking. Would you like me?"

  Chu Huo was stunned by the question. Mo Yier was beautiful and intelligent, how could she be an ordinary woman? "I don't know, I haven't thought about it."

  "Then think about it now." Mo Yuer was eager to know the answer. This directly concerned her relationship with Chu Yan.

  "I...". Chu Huai stopped abruptly. His mind seriously began to think about this question. If Mo Yi'er wasn't so clever, then he wouldn't have been attracted to her from the start. Maybe he really wouldn't have liked her after all. Thinking like this, Chu Huai said it out loud.

  Mo Yu'er's heart sank suddenly. Indeed, indeed it was like that. Actually, Chu Yan didn't like her that much either. "Hehe, yeah, it was like that."

  "Mo Yi'er, what's wrong? Did I say something wrong?" Chu Yan was innocent and didn't know why Mo Yi'er was unhappy.

  "No, you didn't say anything wrong. Chu Huo, there are many clever women. Our tribe may not have one, but other tribes do. Xue...Xuemia is one of them." Mo Yier was about to say that Xuemia was not only clever, but also became the leader. You can like her, but her things cannot be exposed. Can only change mouth, let Xuemia sacrifice a little.

  "No, that's not the same. She may be smart, but she's not you, Mo Yi Er. You're different. I've been captivated by you since the moment I saw you. I won't go for Si Mu La. I just want to be with you." Chu Huo hastily explained. But Mo Yi Er didn't feel any more at ease from these words.

  "Chu Yu, you don't like me, but my intelligence. So whether I become your woman or not doesn't make a difference. Now that I have Xiao Rong, I'll just be a woman of your tribe. You will meet another woman you like in the future." Mo Yi'er finished speaking and turned to walk out of the cave, tears gushing down her face. She bit her lower lip tightly, wondering why she was crying, why her tears wouldn't stop. Clearly, it was she who didn't want him, but why did her heart ache so much?

  "Mo Yi'er..." Chu Yan ran forward and grabbed Mo Yi'er. "What's the meaning of this? Don't you want to be my woman?"

  "Yes. Unwilling." Mo Yuer's head didn't turn back even once. She didn't want Chu Yan to see her weak and useless side.

  "How could you not want to? Didn't you used to like being with me?" Chu Yan really didn't understand. He stood there in a daze, his hand tightly grasping Mo Yi Er. He knew he couldn't let go. If he let go, he would lose her forever. He wouldn't be able to carry her on his back and run anymore. He wouldn't be able to hold her as she fell asleep. He wouldn't be able to do many things that made him feel extremely happy. No way. He couldn't let this happiness slip away...

  "You don't understand. You will never understand. What I need is a man who loves me wholeheartedly. Even if I grow old, become ugly, lose my intelligence, and can't do anything, he will still love me wholeheartedly."

  "I'm just that kind of man, Mo Yi'er. No matter what you become, I'll always like you." Chu Yan's words made Mo Yi'er pause for a moment. She knew Chu Yan wasn't the kind of man who would lie. But hadn't he just admitted to liking her intelligence?
