I Love You, Monster: The Blindfolded Wife x The Masked Husband

Chapter 378 Nothing but a minor problem

While Davi was trying her best to recover from Sei’s ultra high level cuteness attack, the man remained motionless, just resting his head in the nook of Davi’s neck. No words came out of his mouth again but his grip on her hand was still tight.

Realizing that the man was still in quite an emotional state, Davi breathed in deeply and in the next moment, she suddenly kissed Sei on his head.

What she did immediately made Sei raise his face and look at her with a surprised look. His expression was again so priceless that Davi could no longer stop herself from smiling.

"Sei... you’re so cute! I want to shower you with kisses right now." Davi playfully said as she smiled, causing the man to freeze. She then raised her hand and she started ruffling Sei’s hair as if she was petting an adorable fluffy and furry little kitten while the adorable kitten just remained silent.

However, the next moment, the man leaned in and rested his forehead on hers, gazing deeply into her eyes as he spoke.

"It’d be my pleasure to receive a shower of kisses from you, but... are you sure you want to do it right now? I could order everyone to shut their eyes close right now but I think that might be too dangerous so..."

"Cough! Cough! Cough!" Davi choked with the words that left Sei’s mouth. She looked at him and he was saying those words so seriously, causing Davi to just want to faint to the ground. Sei! Please stop! This is not the right time and place... I’m already badly injured with all your relentless attacks! T^T

"A-are you alright?" Sei asked worriedly when Davi continued coughing.

"I... I’m fine... Sei... I think we better settle things here first so we can go back home. I’m missing little Shin now." Davi tried changing the topic. She couldn’t let this continue or else she would really suffer a heart attack soon. It would be fine if they were at home, where they were safe, but the situation they were in right now was not something to be taken lightly.

Gladly, Sei seemed to have finally calmed down. Davi held his hands and she was relieved to find that they have stopped trembling. However, as soon as Davi said she’s fine, Sei moved not to face the old man but checked Davi’s body once again.

"They really didn’t hurt you?" he asked as he stared at the small cuts on Davi’s knuckles and Davi shook her head hastily.

"They really didn’t hurt me. They even put me in a room that could sleep a princess! I got these small cuts on my knuckles because of my powerful punches on their noses and jaws." She answered energetically. She was trying to show him that she was completely fine.

Hearing her reassurance and seeing that she didn’t seem to have experienced any traumatic events, Sei finally felt like he could now take a breather. He raised his hand and caressed her cheek before he embraced her once again.

"I’m sorry for getting you caught up in this mess." Sei said softly near her ear and Davi pulled away from him a little to see his face.

"Uhm... Sei... do you think you can speak with Mr. Zhao? I... I know I’m not supposed to be asking this. He kidnapped me and made you worry, so much so I’m angry with him too, but maybe you can still settle this through a peaceful conversation? It might be best if you let him explain everything so that we can all move forward and not have to worry about things like this happening again in the future. It might be time for you to hear him out..." Davi stated and Sei looked at her in the eyes for a long time before he opened his mouth to speak.

"You want me to listen to him?" He asked and Davi bit her lip before she nodded.

"Mm... but I’m just suggesting. If you don’t want to or you feel like this isn’t a reasonable suggestion, then don’t do it. I will leave that decision to you." She replied and for some reason, the man’s lips curved up slightly as he lightly ruffled Davi’s hair.

"That old man kidnapped you but you already forgave him?" he asked, causing Davi to be tongue-tied for a while.

"Err... uhm... it’s... it’s not like I’m being kind or anything. It’s just that Mr. Zhao already asked for my forgiveness and this kidnapping was partly my fault. My brain was a bit messed up last night so I failed to notice the danger and I let them kidnap me." She explained and when Sei heard her say the words ’my brain was a bit messed up last night’, he suddenly remembered the scenario last night where Davi looked at him with eyes filled with pain and disbelief as soon as she heard about the news that they weren’t legally married anymore.

Remembering this made Sei fall into a depressed state again and he seemed to have forgotten about anything else. In his mind, the greatest issue at this point in time that he needed to solve first was their marriage issue and not the issue between him and the Zhao’s.

"Davi... a... about what you heard last night... I’m going to explain what happened." Sei said and Davi blinked. She looked at him and upon seeing an even more serious look in his eyes, Davi could only face palm inside her brain. She didn’t expect that Sei would completely disregard the situation they were in right now so he could immediately explain. Of course, this made Davi’s heart dance in happiness since this man always seemed to prioritize their relationship above all else, even when they were in this kind of situation. Even though she wanted to listen to his explanation as soon as possible, when she looked at the tense soldiers around them, somehow, she started to feel bad for them all and she could only give way for now. After all, it was better for this conversation to happen in private since she too had lots of things she needed to tell him.

"Darling... uhm, don’t you think you need to settle this matter first? We will talk as soon as things between you and Mr. Zhao are settled." Davi said and as expected, Sei’s expression turned gloomy and he looked a bit dejected.

Seeing this, Davi couldn’t help but pinch his cheek.

"It’s alright. After this, we can talk to our hearts content, I promise, okay?" she said but Sei remained stubbornly unwilling. He held Davi’s hand on his cheek and he gazed deeply at her.

"You... you want me to forgive him even though he did this to you?" he asked.

"Err... since he didn’t hurt me and he didn’t do this so he could harm you, I can forgive him since he already asked for forgiveness but I’m not telling you to forgive him as well. I don’t know the reason why you refused to meet him so I can’t possibly say that you should forgive him. I just feel like that he ended up resorting to this method because he was desperate. What I want is for you to at least listen to what he wants to say to you, his grandson." Davi replied and Sei again fell silent for a long while.

"You... you really want me to talk to him?" he again repeated, making sure of it for the last time.

"...Mm, if possible."

"If... if I speak with him and... if I can forgive him after hearing his reasons, will you promise me that you will forgive me too after you hear my reasons for why I said those words last night?"

Somehow, hearing that this talk ended up about the issue last night again, Davi could only fall speechless. It seemed that Sei was only concerned about what happened last night that he was trying so hard to get her to forgive him and would just do about anything she asked so long as she promised to do that. Everything else including this issue with his grandfather were now nothing but a minor problem.

Davi was about to reply when Sei beat her to it.

"Okay, I understand. I will listen to him." He said and Davi could only smile slightly.

"Mm... Should I go wait for you in the car?" she asked when Sei’s grip on her hand tightened.

"No, stay with me. I’m not going to let you leave my side anymore that I won’t even hesitate to cuff you!" He said firmly and Davi blinked before she suddenly moved and began pulling Sei.

"Okay, okay. Let’s go already and hear your grandfather out so we can finally go home!"
