Konoha Aogen

Chapter 44: Malice

In the blink of an eye, more than three months have passed since the "Konoha Family" led the "Thousands of Camels and Thousands of Riders" to move the "Little Golden Mountain" back to "Kurei Castle". All the chaos and obstacles caused by the absence of the city lord have now been sorted out. "Kongrong City" is still full of life and prosperity.

Ye Xuan gambled money in the "Qianjin Pavilion" again, gambling from noon to noon. He was playing his favorite "dominoes" again. And this time, the gamblers sitting around the long table were his favorite "individuals". No business, no favors, just pure intrigue and pure gambling.

Sitting on the soft chair with one person to Ye Xuan's right hand side is a man with a slightly hunched back and messy black and white hair. This is a sign that he has entered the "aging period". The old man was in good spirits and did not show signs of weakness even after gambling for more than two hours. However, Ye Xuan couldn't tell whether the old man's radiance was an illusion, because there was a light and refreshing fragrance floating around the place, which was the fragrance of "forgettable fruit".

After a "all-in" move where big cards collided with big cards, Ye Xuan lost all the chips in his hand.

"Save a seat and make up for it." He simply said four words to the organizer. Ye Xuan stood up and walked to the window, opened the heavy wooden door, and walked to the empty and cold terrace to get some air. At the same time, he reflected on the useful hand he had just made. There is no wrong bet.

Not long after, the wooden door rang again behind him, and the old man followed in. Ye Xuan felt bored in his heart: Are you trying to get my idea by gambling again? Isn’t the city lord qualified to enjoy a pure gamble?

However, when facing people who have entered the "aging period", Ye Xuan always feels an inexplicable softness in his heart. He did not walk away, but turned around and looked at the old man shivering in the cold wind, waiting for him to speak.

"Look at this." The old man handed over a note. After Ye Xuan pinched it for a long time, he carefully released his hand, as if he was afraid that the thin piece of paper would be swept away by the cold wind.

Ye Xuan took the note and glanced at it, his pupils suddenly shrank. He didn't bother to hide the look of surprise on his face, and he couldn't hide it either. On the old and yellow note, there are six small words that are not very beautiful: You are useless, don’t read it.

"You are……"

"Do you know this handwriting? Very good, very good!" The old man's eyes flashed with tears, revealing endless warmth: "I am Lin Jue."

Ye Xuan looked at the old man in front of him, with thousands of thoughts intertwined and entangled into a mess. I wanted to say something, but nothing came out.

"Li'er, are you still there?" Lin Jue asked with a trembling voice, as if he was afraid of hearing the answer.

Ye Xuan suppressed all the inappropriate emotions and sorted out his thoughts with difficulty: "Let's find a safe place to talk. You go back to the card table first, then play with a cup of tea, and then go to the 'City Lord's Mansion' to find me, that's the one Place." Ye Xuan said and pointed to the right.

From the terrace on the third floor of the "Qianjin Pavilion", you can clearly see the large mansion where the "City Lord's Mansion" is located.

"Tell the guards at the main gate that your surname is 'Ge', and someone will lure you." Ye Xuan instructed the old man. The tone is very gentle.

"Oh... ok." Lin Jue felt that almost all his strength was gone with this sigh. He had vaguely guessed the answer. The only thing that kept him from falling was the tall man in black clothes in front of him. "It's so similar, so similar."

Ye Xuan left the "Qianjin Pavilion" and walked quickly to the "City Lord's Mansion" as quickly as possible without causing panic among passers-by.

"When an old man named Ge came to see me, I led him to the guest room and immediately reported to me in the study." After explaining to the guard on duty, he followed the bluestone-paved stairs to the second floor of the "City Lord's Mansion".

The "main building" of the "City Lord's Mansion" has only two floors in total. Ye Xuan deliberately made the nearby "Qianjin Pavilion" and "Wangyue Tower" higher than here, using this method to convey goodwill to business travelers.

There are dozens of rooms on the second floor, all of which are empty except for the "City Lord's Study Room". The rest of the people were forced to live on the first floor, or were squeezed out of the main building to run errands in other side rooms. Just because "Mu Qing'er" doesn't like that there are always people walking around on the floor where she is. Not being disturbed is Mu Qing'er's luxury.

Ye Xuan pushed the door in somewhat rudely and saw Mu Qing'er holding the "dark water" in her hand, holding a candle in the air. There was a buzzing sound, the tip of the sword trembled slightly, and the three bright candles seven steps away were instantly extinguished. The speed at which she adapted to the soft sword was far faster than Ye Xuan expected. However, at this moment, he was not in the mood to praise her.

"Lin Jue is here." Ye Xuan said to Mu Qing'er anxiously.

Mu Qing'er's back seemed to be burned by something. She immediately put away her sword and turned around. She looked at Ye Xuan and asked in surprise: "Where is it?"

"I'll be there later. I met him at the 'Qianjin Pavilion' and didn't dare to come with him." Ye Xuan whispered hastily: "We don't have much time, we need to put together a good excuse. Just say that she died when she gave birth to me. You guys. There is no need to lie to him about the period between escaping from the 'Lin Mansion' and entering the 'Xuanqing Valley'. But the specific location and escape route must be concealed, and do not mention 'Konoha Castle'."

"Well, okay." Mu Qing'er sorted out her memory uneasily. "Why is he here?"

"I guess it was because of this trip to the south that your detailed description was known to more people and reached his ears." Ye Xuan blamed himself. He believed that not considering this in advance was a very serious oversight. .

Light gray eyes are not uncommon among people from the Western Regions. Based on this alone, Lin Jue could not have guessed that Mu Qing'er was "Xiao Wei", otherwise he would not have waited until today.

"Is there any danger?" Of course Mu Qing'er knew that Lin Jue knew some very troublesome things. Today, no one knows the past of Ye Xuan and Mu Qing'er; in the Lin Mansion back then, no one knew the whereabouts of "Ge Li" and "Xiao Wei".

"Yes. We need to find out how dangerous it is." The conversation with Mu Qing'er made Ye Xuan slowly regain his calm.

"Yeah." Mu Qing'er then remembered to sheath "Dark Water".

"The way he looked at me... was a little strange, maybe he thought I was his son." Ye Xuan said with sadness.

A rare look of contempt appeared on Mu Qing'er's face, which surprised Ye Xuan. They rarely talked about this person, and Mu Qing'er seemed reluctant to mention the past events of the "Lin Mansion".

Ye Xuan confirmed some details of the year with Mu Qing'er. Without saying a few words, the rope bell rang softly, and the guard reported that the old man named Ge had arrived. Lin Jue obviously did not follow Ye Xuan's words and continue to play with a cup of tea.

Ye Xuan didn't let him wait any longer. He immediately went down to the guest room on the first floor and personally welcomed Lin Jue up.

"Xiaowei, how long have we not seen each other? Two hundred years?" Lin Jue looked at Mu Qing'er, who was dressed in plain white clothes and standing indifferently in the room, his voice trembling.

"No." Mu Qing'er said coldly.

"Mr. Lin, sit down and talk." Ye Xuan said, leading Lin Jue to sit in a soft chair by the fireplace, and poured him tea with his own hands. Ever since they first met on the terrace of "Qianjin Pavilion", Ye Xuan had been in a dilemma. He didn't know what to call Lin Jue, so he had to call him "Mr. Lin" for the time being.

Mu Qing'er, holding a long sword, also came over and sat down in front of Lin Jue. After Mu Qing'er got the "dark water", she almost never left her body. Lin Jue looked at it and felt very uncomfortable. Ye Xuan sat next to Mu Qing'er and deliberately turned the soft chair sideways to avoid the embarrassment of sitting directly opposite Lin Jue. He also used this gesture to briefly show his goodwill.

"The 'Hang Gang' has power all over the South. If anyone knows our origins... I'm worried that Hu Kang's remnants will cause trouble for you." After sitting down, Ye Xuan didn't wait for Lin Jue to ask about "Li'er" , cautiously probed.

Hearing Ye Xuan's concern for him, Lin Jue felt warm in his heart and comforted him: "Don't worry, no one knows. Before I met you, even I wasn't sure, so how could I dare to go around saying 'Kurong City Lord' to others?" Where is my son?"

"Young Master is not your son." Mu Qing'er's cold voice was filled with dissatisfaction and disgust.

"Why not! Even though his facial features are not like mine, they are exactly the same as my father...that is, your grandfather!" Lin Juechu glared at Mu Qing'er at first, and after saying the second half of the sentence, he turned to Ye Ye with great affection. mysterious.

"Is she...not gone anymore?" Lin Jue finally plucked up the courage and asked the question tremblingly again. Ye Xuan felt a twinge of pain in his heart. It was a bit cruel to ask him twice.

"Yes. He was gone the night he gave birth to me." Ye Xuan used a heavy voice to suppress and hide his emotions.

"Alas..." Lin Jue sighed deeply, without crying or collapsing. He was prepared for such an answer. When Ye Xuan refused to answer on the terrace, he was already prepared.

(This chapter is not over, please turn the page)

In other words, he was already prepared when he found out that there was no woman with brown eyes among the people in the "Konoha Family".

"Some of the people in 'Yanbo City' are famous doctors and some are mothers-in-law. If she had stayed at home for a long time, how could she have died? How could she have died..." The heart-gnawing sorrow turned into deep-seated resentment, and his anger was directed towards Mu Qing'er. on the body.

Mu Qing'er stared at Lin Jue in her chair, silently. It seems that he is also reminiscing about the past.

"Are you still living in Yanbo City?" Ye Xuan was very concerned about Lin Jue's situation, but he never dared to investigate. He couldn't let anyone know that he cared about this person; he couldn't let anyone know that Mu Qing'er was the maid "Xiao Wei" in the Lin Mansion.

"No, we have moved to Quanyang City a long time ago. After my grandmother passed away, Yanbo City was not peaceful for a long time. No...no, you haven't seen her, why can you recognize her handwriting?" Lin Jue Thinking of what Ye Xuan just said, I felt suspicious.

"Before I was born, she wrote me a long letter with a wooden pen. I read it all day long..." Ye Xuan had already thought of his words. He told lies, but revealed his true feelings. Lin Jue looked at his melancholy look, heartbroken and convinced.

"Xuan'er...can you let me take a look at that letter?" Lin Jue had been worried about not knowing what to do with Ye Xuan, and he couldn't care much about it at this time.

"Young master is not your child!" That call with deep affection made Mu Qing'er extremely angry.

"It's not mine, but whose is it? Tell me, whose it is!" Lin Jue shouted angrily at Mu Qing'er.

"I don't know whose it belongs to, but it's definitely not yours." Mu Qing'er said decisively.

"You cheap maid, you..." Mu Qing'er's words made Lin Jue furious. At the same time, in Lin Jue's view, this was undoubtedly an outrageous and rogue act of a shrew. It only made him more convinced that Ye Xuan was his heir.

Ye Xuan looked at Lin Jue dissatisfied, and was about to ask him to be more respectful, but found that Lin Jue pointed at Mu Qing'er's arm that couldn't help but tremble, with an expression of extreme pain. It was not a tremor caused by pure rage, Ye Xuan had seen such a scene before.

Sure enough, Lin Jue immediately touched his waist, and there were three exquisite small wooden gourds hanging there. Ye Xuan immediately stood up and went over. He opened the three small gourds one after another and smelled them. He took the one with the aroma of "Wangyou Fruit" and also confirmed that the other two gourds contained "Snow Ginseng" and "Dream Mushroom". ".

Lin Jue not only took "Wangyou Fruit", but also ate "Dream Mushroom".

Ye Xuan poured the contents of the small gourd in his hand into Lin Jue's tea cup. Not pulp, but fruit powder! This shows that Lin Jue has been using this thing for at least decades, if not more than a hundred years. This also explains another question in Ye Xuan's mind: why Lin Jue's aging period came so early.

With Ye Xuan's help, Lin Juezhan drank the tea mixed with "Wangyou Fruit Powder" lightly. If someone hadn't fed him, half the cup would have spilled on him. After handing the small gourd back to Lin Jue, Ye Xuan sat back in the chair and gently stroked Mu Qing'er's left shoulder with his right hand to express comfort.

After Lin Jue's breathing subsided, Ye Xuan said in a low voice with a trace of apology: "Mr. Lin, I am very grateful for everything you did back then. But I am not your child."

"Then whose child are you? Your surname is not really Ye, is it?" Since Lin Jue knew that Mu Qing'er was a pseudonym, he naturally did not believe that Ye Xuan's surname was real.

"The name was chosen at random. Qing'er didn't lie to you, I really don't know who my biological father is." Ye Xuan said lonely.

Lin Jue looked at Mu Qing'er in disbelief, and finally looked at Ye Xuan: "What on earth is going on?"

"The day I was born is not the same as the last time you saw her. After she left the Lin Mansion, she worked as a... prostitute for a period of time." Ye Xuan himself is not ashamed of this, but in order to take into account Lin Jue's Emotionally, when he said those two words, he still kept his voice very low.

"You cheap maid!" Lin Jue stood up suddenly, threw the teacup with residual water in his hand towards Mu Qing'er. Mu Qing'er sat upright in the chair, not blocking or avoiding. Let the juice and tea leaves spill on yourself. There was an almost indiscernible hint of sarcasm in his pale gray eyes.

"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha..." Lin Jue suddenly let out a blood-curdling laugh that lasted for a long time. So much so that Ye Xuan thought he was a lunatic who fell from the "Dream Mushroom". However, later on, Lin Jue's laughter gradually became more joyful and enlightened, and it didn't look like he was "sick".

"I understand, I understand everything! Xuan'er, you let this bitch deceive you, you let this bitch deceive you!"

Ye Xuan stared at Lin Jue dumbfounded, and could no longer care about the rudeness in his words: "What?"

Lin Jue stared at Mu Qing'er fiercely: "Do you think I can't see it? You hate me in your heart, do you think I can't see it? No, you don't hate me, what you hate is that I am close to Li'er. You You hate me for being in love with her, you hate me for getting married with her, it would be the same for anyone, right! You pretended to kneel on the ground, pretending to be a slave, but in fact you wanted to dominate her, occupy her, and imprison her Hold on to her so that she can only be with you forever, right! I only realized it today, it turns out...it turns out that Li'er was abducted by you!"

"Didn't you see the note?" Mu Qing'er said coldly.

"She wrote the note, but you forced her to write it! I don't know how you forced her, whether you tortured her, or used my safety to threaten her. In short, at that time, you had actually developed your true Angry, am I right?

You had planned to kidnap her, sooner or later. As for why I chose that time... what triggered your fire was that Li'er was pregnant with my child! You can't stop her from wanting to have a child, but you can't accept that she has a husband, you can't accept that her child has a father, and you can't accept that she has a complete family. Because in that case...you will become a real slave! Lin Jue was thinking as he spoke. The more he spoke, the angrier he became, and his tone was almost crazy.

"Nonsense, the princess asked me to take her away!" Mu Qing'er retorted angrily. This was the first time Ye Xuan saw Mu Qing'er arguing with someone.

"Take her away? Take her away? Listen to what you said, Xuan'er, listen to what she said! You are just a lowly slave. If Li'er really wanted to leave, why didn't you 'follow' She left, but 'took' her away? Who are you? What qualifications do you have to 'take' her away!

Xuan'er, don't let her deceive you again. How could you possibly know your birthday? That's all she told you, right? Li'er...she is a princess, how could she be a prostitute? How could she be a prostitute! Only a lowly maid could make up such ridiculous lies! "

Lin Jue's throat has become hoarse from roaring: "Xuan'er, if you don't believe me... let me tell you, I can guess one more thing. You don't have children, right? You are almost two hundred years old. , why don’t you have children? Because you have been practicing Qi since you were very young. You didn’t have to practice it yourself, she forced you to practice it, am I right!”

"Shut up!" With a click, the armrest of Mu Qing'er's chair was crushed to pieces.

Lin Jue did not flinch: "Haha, why are you angry? If I am talking nonsense, why are you angry! Xuan'er, have you seen it? She is such a person. If Li'er is tricked to death by her, she will Her perverted desires have moved onto you! She is this kind of person, pretending to be humble and kneeling at your feet, and then leading you and controlling you! In order to satisfy herself, she will not hesitate to let you... cut off your descendants! "

In the blink of an eye, the "Yin Wind Finger" hit Mu Qing'er's side of the neck. Mu Qing'er felt dizzy before her eyes, and her body suddenly collapsed in the chair. He was almost unconscious, and even his breathing was stagnant. His throat struggled to squeeze out two words silently: "Young Master..."

Ye Xuan hurriedly stood up, gently lifted up the limp Mu Qing'er, slowly opened the sealed acupuncture points on her neck, put his body between her and Lin Jue, and said in an extremely gentle tone. : "If I don't move, you will kill him, right?"

Mu Qing'er looked at Ye Xuan with eyes filled with despair and pleading for mercy. She couldn't deny that as long as Ye Xuan slowed down for even a moment, Lin Jue's head would be shattered, or maybe his chest. She had never thought about it or planned what method she would use, but she knew very well that she wanted to kill someone.

"I'll send him out. You wait for me here. Don't be afraid." Ye Xuan's tone was still gentle, and there was no hint of resentment or blame. This only made Mu Qing'er more uneasy. She didn't understand why he wasn't angry. Could it be... could it be... that he wanted to say goodbye?

Lin Jue didn't hear Ye Xuan's soft whisper clearly, but he could understand what happened: "Xiaowei, I'm waiting for you to kill me." Mu Qing'er's gaffe made Lin Jue regain his senses.

(This chapter is not over, please turn the page)

wisdom. The words are full of the arrogance of the winner and the joy of revenge.

"Stop talking, let's go out." Ye Xuan led Lin Jue out of Mu Qing'er's study and randomly found an empty room on the second floor: "Tell me where you live, and I'll find you in the evening."

"Okay, okay. I live in the 'Dongli Inn', with four rooms on the third floor." Mu Qing'er was no longer in the room, and Lin Jue, who was alone with Ye Xuan, his expression and tone immediately became extremely warm.

"Yes. Please don't tell anyone else about what happened here. It's to protect you, and it's also to protect me." Ye Xuan warned softly. He thought about leaving Lin Jue in the "City Lord's Mansion", but quickly put aside this idea. It was not unusual for a man to come to the "City Lord's Mansion" to discuss matters. If you are too special to him, it will easily attract attention.

"Okay." Of course, Lin Jue couldn't understand the deeper meanings in Ye Xuan's words. He only felt that the "protection" he said still referred to the possible revenge of the "Hang Gang". "She was exposed by me today, and her evil nature has been revealed. Be careful of her harming you."

Ye Xuan smiled faintly: "Don't worry."

Lin Jue saw that he didn't take his warning to heart at all, and added anxiously: "Even if she can't kill you, we still have to prevent her from destroying you and imprisoning you. You believe me, she can do it!"

"Okay, I will be careful." Ye Xuan did not want to argue with Lin Jue about the matter, so he solemnly agreed.

Mu Qing'er sat blankly on the soft chair with a broken right armrest. Seeing Ye Xuan come back, he seemed unable to stand up, and seemed to dare not stand up. He only raised his eyes to look at him, and quickly lowered his head when his eyes touched him, as if he was as helpless as a child who had just been picked up in "The Hungry House" : "Young Master, I...I'm not...I..." Full of grief and anger, full of grievances, and full of anxiety, they all came to the throat, accumulated in the throat, and became more difficult to swallow. Mu Qing'er has never had so much to say, but she can't say a whole sentence at this moment.

"Sister, let me marry you." Ye Xuan was exceptionally calm, so calm that even he was surprised. He didn't try to comfort Mu Qing'er, or make her believe that he believed in her. He tore through the tangled web of truth and lies and told her directly - no matter what, I accept it.

Mu Qing'er stopped trying to speak or explain. He put his left arm across his nose, bit the meat into his mouth, and cried uncontrollably.

Ye Xuan did not lean over to hug her, but stood firmly beside her, placing his right hand lightly on the back of her neck, and slowly kneaded it, just like she often did to him.

Mu Qing'er cried for a long time, as if she was not just venting her grievances today. Ye Xuan stood quietly like this, telling her gently with his fingertips: I have not left, and I will not leave.

Until her throat was as hot as a charcoal fire, until her tears could no longer flow, the rise and fall of Mu Qing'er's chest finally gradually eased. Ye Xuan brought the already cold tea in the cup to her mouth and fed her to drink it. Then he took her and walked into the inner room at the back of the study that was usually used for naps.

Mu Qing'er followed Ye Xuan like a puppet, letting him play with her and sitting on the bedside, letting him take off her shoes and gently hold her ankle in his hand to play with it. It wasn't until the thin armor of her right index finger slid across the sole of her foot that she could only avoid and shrink in a way that definitely didn't belong to a puppet.

Ye Xuan stopped when he was almost unable to hold her ankle. He just wanted to wake her up and touch her, not tease her or tease her. At least not now.

"Young Master, I..." Mu Qing'er was no longer afraid, but still wanted to explain. She was grateful that Ye Xuan reached out to stop her, because she really didn't know how to explain it.

"You are confused, let me speak for you. If there is something wrong, you can correct it." Ye Xuan said gently and sympathetically.

"Hmm." Mu Qing'er really loved the feeling of just saying "hmm".

"Let's talk about the escape first. Lin Jue's inference is of course wrong. Entering and leaving the Lin Mansion was all her own decision. Lin Jue refused to accept the truth and blamed all the calculations and use of him on you. body. This way he can deceive himself and say that 'Li'er' loves him.

But he's not entirely wrong about what you're thinking. You do hate him, and you do want to possess her. Escape from Lin Mansion was not your plan, but it was something you wanted to see. "After Ye Xuan calmly expressed his thoughts, he looked at Mu Qing'er with inquiring, non-judgmental, and non-expecting eyes.

"Yes." Mu Qing'er avoided Ye Xuan's gaze and nodded gently to admit.

"Let's talk about the prostitute. It's clearly written in the diary that it was all planned by her, and she almost got involved. Lin Jue said that only a lowly servant could think of such a thing. Hmph... He was wrong about this kind of thing. Only the princess can think of it. The date when I was born was indeed not what Lin Jue expected. As for the similarity in eyebrows and eyes he mentioned, the memory of a person who eats 'dream mushrooms' is unreliable, especially if he has obsessions. At that time. Unless..." Ye Xuan paused, and his tone became slightly deeper: "Unless you lie to me with her. 'Ouyang Tong' is withering, and 'Yanbo City' is about to change hands. She is worried about staying in What kind of trouble will the 'Lin Mansion' get involved in?"

"No, no!" Mu Qing'er's back leaning against the head of the bed suddenly leaned forward and she argued anxiously.

Ye Xuan gently waved his hand and dismissed his absurd thoughts: "It's just my wild thoughts. With her character, if she wants to plot against Lin Jue and betray Lin Jue, even if he is really my biological father, she will write it down openly. You are not afraid that I will know. It is really inappropriate and disrespectful for me to use my 'filthy deeds' to speculate on her 'pure deeds'." After Ye Xuan said this, he smiled to himself.

"Finally, let's talk about my Qi training. The first two things only slightly irritated you, but this one defeated you." Just holding Mu Qing'er's ankle, you can feel the stiffness of her body. When Ye Xuan said this, he finally stopped pretending to be relaxed.

"I know you want to distinguish this the most, but all kinds of emotions are intertwined together. This one is true, and that one is true. Even you can't sort it out. Even if you can explain it clearly, I don't want to listen. . I just want to tell you that no matter how much of the reason Lin Jue points out plays a role in this matter, I don’t blame you. No matter what you have done to me, I love you."

Mu Qing'er buried her head deeper, her right hand tightly combing the plain white cotton sheets under her body, and her red eyes filled with tears again: "Young Master, I...I deserve to die."

"Shouldn't you say at this time that you love me too? After all, I am a son and daughter of the world. If you let me say disgusting things alone, are you still loyal?" Ye Xuan complained with a serious look on his face.

A smile finally appeared on Mu Qing'er's face, and she finally raised her head and looked at Ye Xuan. But in the end, she couldn't share the joys and sorrows with him and say those embarrassing words. Of course, Ye Xuan didn't really want her to say it. If his pale gray eyes and cold face were paired with any sweet words, he would be at a loss what to do.

"I meant it when I said I would marry you." Ye Xuan said solemnly, staring into Mu Qing'er's eyes.

"Don't... I'm still used to calling you Young Master." Mu Qing'er replied in a low voice with some embarrassment.

"It's not like I have to change my words. It's not all the lady who has the final say on how to call her." He deliberately placed the emphasis on the word "ma'am". It's frivolous, it's teasing, it's also an attempt.

Mu Qing'er's face indeed showed embarrassment again, and Ye Xuan wasn't sure if there was a trace of shyness hidden behind the embarrassment. It was too faint, even he couldn't tell clearly. "Young Master, we are still... like this, it's good."

Ye Xuan still looked into Mu Qing'er's eyes, regardless of whether she looked at him or not: "Senior sister, when I say I marry you, I don't want to make a stupid ceremony for others to see. I want you to understand: in my heart, you Not a slave. Never, not even for a day.

Over the years, I have become accustomed to instructing you and ordering you, because you don't like to 'think'. I also admit that I enjoy your obedience. You are beautiful and powerful, and no one in this world will not enjoy your obedience.

But if one day, you look into my eyes and say no... I will probably get angry, quarrel, or even throw a tantrum. But I won't think you betrayed me. Not to mention she won't be like her, who despises you and doesn't like to think about it, but feels that you don't deserve to think about it.

I have never told you this before, because I know that such thoughts do not make you happy. But I always feel that there are some words that I should say to you at least once in my life. "

Mu Qing'er finally raised her head, looking deeply into each other's eyes with gray eyes: "Yes. I understand."

Ye Xuan kissed her. There was no lust at all, just a light kiss. After their lips separated, Mu Qing'er found the tranquility that made Ye Xuan feel most at ease, neither sad nor happy. However, underneath this tranquility, there are ups and downs and stormy seas.
