Chapter 516 Really Love Me So Much

Jacob brought Emily back to the house. Without saying anything, he decocted the medicine and then
fed her spoon after spoon quietly.

Emily felt as though there was something clearly wrong with Jacob. "What's wrong with you?"

After a long silence, Jacob said, "That man just now, who is he?"

Emily was at a loss. She then burst out into laughter. "You are telling me that you are jealous?"

"No, I am not." Not knowing why, Jacob did not want to admit it, but his ears had turned red. He looked
at Emily and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

"Okay, I won't laugh." Emily refrained from laughing and leaned forward to pinch his earlobes. "Look at
your ears. See how red they are? You are still lying."

"I just want to know who that man is," Jacob persisted, still unwilling to admit the truth.

"Then why didn't you just ask him that. Why are you asking me? You can only be so childish and
unreasonable in front of me."

"It's not like that. I am not."

"Isn't it true?" Emily observed his face carefully. Suddenly, mischief popped in her eyes like two tiny
light bulbs. "Since you really want to know, I will tell you. That man is a friend of yours, and mine too.
We are on good terms..."

"Stop saying that," said Jacob. Jacob embraced her, but was careful not to hold her too tight. He gently
pressed his chin to her neck and said, "I'm jealous. I don't want to hear it any more." His voice was like
a dog that had lost its bone.



Emily hugged him as well. She didn't want him to feel upset, so she explained, "Sorry, I am just lying to
you. We are just ordinary friends. To tell you the truth, he is actually your friend."

"But he loves you." Jacob's voice was sullen.

Emily was surprised by the fact that Jacob had caught on to that. Were all men in love particularly
sensitive?

"But I don't like him. I only love you, forever and ever."

In the blink of an eye, Jacob's mood changed. He kissed Emily in the earlobe, and whispered, "Me
too."

...

Magee and his men's arrival aroused a lot of discussion in the village. Since it was rare for so many
people to show up at the village all at once, the villagers were worried about what they were going to
do.

Since Magee's men had to wait for a long time, they decided to camp out in the village, as if they had
settled there after being lost in the mountains.

In the mean time, Cherry, frequently ran up to Magee's side.

"Mr. Lin, would you like to have some water?"

"Mr. Lin, would you like to eat this?"

Mr. Lin, your clothes are torn. Let me mend them for you!"

"Mr. Lin..."



Cherry's attitude toward Magee was extremely hospitable. However, her mind could be read at a
glance by a person with good sense. Magee felt as though she was like a fly that could not be driven
away easily.

"You, hasn't your family taught you to be reserved, and not to throw yourself at men's feet all the time?"

Cherry's face turned red with shame, but she persisted, "Mr. Lin, you are different..."

Magee had always been distant towards her and this time was of no exception. "How am I different?"

Cherry bit her lip, and looked at his beautiful face. Her face turned redder, "Mr. Lin, you saved my life. If
it weren't for you, I am afraid I would still be hanging there on that cliff. Or worse, dead..."

The memory of that day gave her shivers. "You know, it was Bear who did that to me. You must avenge
me, Mr. Lin!"

"Avenge?" Magee sneered as if he had heard some kind of joke. "Why should I do you a favor by
turning against my friend?"

Cherry widened her eyes in shock. All this time, she thought that Magee was just an acquaintance of
Emily. She thought he came here to look for Emily. She wasn't aware of the fact that he knew Jacob
too!

What she had said just now must have sounded very ridiculous to him!

"No, I was just joking. I didn't mean any of that..." Cherry tried to say something to control the damage.
"Anyway, Mr. Lin you've been very kind to me. I really have nothing to give to you in return..."

"But to give yourself to me?" said Magee mockingly, with a faint smile on his face.

Cherry lowered her head, overwhelmed by her shyness. "Hmm..."



Sadly, Magee extinguished her fantasy ruthlessly. "It wasn't me who saved you that day. It was one of
my men. If you like, I can ask him to come here and you can give yourself to him?"

Cherry's face contorted. "No, don't do that... If It had not been for your order, would he have saved
me?"

One was the master, the other was the subordinate, even a fool knew which to choose.

"Oh!" said Magee, "So you just want to give yourself to me?"

Cherry restrained her shyness and said boldly, "Yes, I would like to marry you if you will have me!"

As soon as the words left her mouth, everyone around roared, laughing hysterically. Everyone except,
Magee.

Puzzled, Cherry did not know why they were laughing, so she asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Magee eyed at her from top to bottom, as if he were looking at a commodity. "There are too many
women who want to marry me. What's so good about you?"

Magee's men also thought that it was indeed quite ambitious and wishful of her to think that a country
girl like her could marry their boss.

"I..." Cherry thought hard for a long time then finally came out with the words. "The fortune-teller said
that I would have a son. I could give you a son!"

This time the laughter from the crowd was almost as loud as an explosion. Even Magee couldn't help
laughing at her. "What do I need a son for? I have no imperial throne to pass down, neither do I want a
child."



"I don't believe it!" Cherry sensed that the people around her were ridiculing her. Unfortunately, even a
girl as cheeky as her could not stay and be mocked so she stamped her foot in frustration and ran off.

Finally, Magee could enjoy some silence. Little did he expect that Cherry was so persistent, she
sneaked into his tent at night, naked, and tried to take off his clothes.

Cherry was a simple-minded person. She firmly believed that if she had slept with Magee, she would
become his woman, and then Magee would have no choice but to marry her.

However, when she entered his tent, Magee wasn't asleep yet. He felt a pair of hands groping on him
and immediately, he grabbed her hands and pushed her aside. "I think you are seeking death tonight,
aren't you?" His eyes were burning with anger.

His icy cold voice made Cherry shiver. Out of desperation, she threw herself at him again and kissed
him all over. "Mr. Lin, I want to be your woman..."

"Do you really love me so much?" Magee asked her in the darkness.

Suddenly, Cherry stopped moving, she rest her head on his firm chest and said, "Yes, I love you very
much. I loved you from the moment I saw you..."

When she was hanging from the edge of the cliff, she had lost all hope. With each passing second she
could feel the rope weakening, as if the next second would be her last. At her most desperate and
helpless moment, her hero came and saved her.

"There's a woman tied down here, Mr. Lin. Shall we save her or not?" a man asked his master.

Cherry clearly remembered Magee say, "Save her."

Perhaps, it was her desperation that drove her to think that his voice came from the Heavens. It
sounded so beautiful in her head that she failed to notice everything else he said afterwards.



Magee's original words were, "Save her. She's still a human being. Maybe we can ask her the way."

Since then, Cherry deluded herself into believing that their encounter was arranged by God, himself.
