His Mischievous Time-Traveler: How To Capture A Celebrity Husband?

Chapter 75: abandon your wife and your child

After getting cursed, she is almost a skeleton. Her complexion has a grayish tint, only visible under a certain light. The clothes are baggy on her. Her freezing body and otherworldly bearing may ward off other people.

He is unfazed by the change. He Jun puts his arm around her tiny waist and pulls her closer. Their chests are pressing together. Her small frame is nearly covered by his body. When she tries to turn her head away, he holds her jaw and forces her to look at him. "Little Witch, tell me where did you find the courage to do whatever you want and run away."

He is aware that he's finding faults with her. He has no right to stop her from leaving. He wants to tie her to him by any means possible. This woman won't accept a man who already has another woman in his life.

She glares at him and mutters, "Moron!"

He furrows his brows. "What did you call me?"

Nobody has ever called him an idiot before.

"Is it okay for you to bring any woman to your household?" Three deep lines form on her forehead. "It was a peck on your lips. I didn't ruin your chastity. If you are that disturbed because of a stolen kiss, just kiss me. Then, let me go."

She closes her eyes and puckers up her lips, inviting him to take a taste. Li Jun stares at her blankly. He didn't think that she would gladly offer her lips. She's always one step ahead of him.

His heart beats rapidly when she opens her one eye mischievously. Her lips curl up seductively. He didn't think that a woman could make him blush. He steps away, making a distance between them. He might give in to temptation right away.

"I don't only want that."

He wants all of her. He wants to have her by his side. He wants to see her every day. He wants to know why he feels this way. Ever since he saw her, he had an itching feeling in his heart. For more than a decade, he didn't understand why. He longed to see this witch again. He hoped that she would reappear.

When he saw her in front of the inn, something within him burst open. It was a pleasant feeling. Seeing her again made him feel happy.

Then, she was gone again. He still had a feeling that she would reappear.

When he saw her drawing circles in front of Wu Yixing, he felt hurt. Why would he feel hurt for her? Who she is? She did save him and his family on that the night of the assassination. She left quite an impression on his 10th birthday. He still carries the coin that she gave him. But, he was pained when he saw her in that state.

When she left this time, he felt like he would never see her again. He felt like he lost something invaluable.

She laughs derisively. There is hidden pain in her voice. "Li Jun, let me tell you this. If you want me as your woman, then abandon your wife and your child. I will stay with you then."

He clenches his fists. His expression turns dark. He can't change the past. He can't abandon Wu Qiuyue or go back in time to stop his marriage with his dead wife. He loves his son, Li Hua. That fact can't change either. He promised his dead wife that the position of the main wife would always belong to her and he would take care of Li Hua and Wu Qiuyue.

Even if he didn't make those promises, he couldn't abandon Wu Qiuyue or Li Hua. Both of them are his responsibility.

She smiles at him lightly. "If you can't do that, why do you selfishly ask me to abandon my beliefs and become your woman."

***

The timekeeper is afraid of Li Jun catching feelings for me. I have realized that I am also afraid of the same outcome. In the original timeline, Li Jun used his achievements to get an emperor decree to marry a woman he met on a battleground. When we met, he was already in love with me because of Kang Si An's memories.

This Li Jun doesn't know either what he feels for me. Maybe it's curiosity. He can't be in love with me yet. What reason is there for him to love me? People can't just feel undying love for others after meeting a few times.

My life is a bitter fairytale.

I feel like a sick person for asking him to abandon Wu Qiuyue and his son. I did it to make him realize what he is asking from me.

"I can't abandon them," He answers me with a calm voice.

I give him a nod. If he abandoned them, I wouldn't like him anymore. "Release me."

He stares down at me. "I can't let you go either."

Did the time-turn affect his IQ? Why can't he understand me? I can't stay.

"You are the woman I have chosen for myself." He cups my face with his large and rough hands. "I promise that you will be the only woman who will share my bed and occupy my heart from now on. You will stay with me for the rest of your life."
