Chapter 81: You Still Want to Marry Me as Your Wife?

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Xie Xingyun leaned against the door and narrowed his eyes. “There’s no hurry.”

Bai Xianyu looked at him and suddenly remembered the wound on his back yesterday.

But looking at him, he should have already taken care of it.

He was the one who said to hurry, and he was also the one who said there was no need to hurry. She was still thinking of rushing to Buddha Temple to see what was so special about it.

It was a quiet rainy night. The moon hid in the dark clouds, and the wind blew the rain gently.

The house was warm and dry, like a fortified city.

Bai Xianyu had slept during the day and her mind was exceptionally clear.

She recalled many things from the past.

For example, the Buddha Temple had always been flourishing with worshippers. In the past, the Eldest Princess was anxious for them. She and Xie Xingyun had been married for a year, but she had not conceived. When the Eldest Princess heard that Buddha’s benevolence here was strong, she urged the two of them to come here and pray for a son; they ate vegetarian food and chanted Buddhist sutras for a period of time.

That period of time should have been the happiest time for her.

She was protected and innocent. She smiled brightly like a flower. Her brothers were still alive and she had even married her sweetheart. The Northern Garrison Marquis Manor and the General’s Manor were also extremely powerful. The Emperor Wu Xuan cared for her like an elder brother. Even the Empress Dowager often invited her to the palace for banquets. All the women in the capital were envious. There were even many scholars who wrote poems for her.

However, such an honor was not something the Bai family could bear.

Bai Xianyu suddenly had some questions for Xie Xingyun.

Looking at his current appearance, she could not tell that he was cold and heartless at all. If he was pretending, she would really admire his acting skills.

“Xie Xingyun,” she cleared her throat.

Xie Xingyun raised his eyebrows slightly.

“If I’m not mistaken, do you still want to marry me now?”

He looked startled and was actually a little nervous. “What do you mean?”

Bai Xianyu pursed her red lips, took a branch and swept it across the fire. “That means, if… if I marry you, will you protect our General’s Manor?”

She had never understood how he could be so cold-blooded.

However, Xie Xingyun replied unexpectedly and faster than she had expected. “Yes.”

Bai Xianyu raised her head, her watery almond eyes looking at him for a while before she lowered her head again, “Oh.”

He answered so quickly.

He said it without even thinking.

Indeed, a man’s mouth was deceitful.

It was one thing during courting, and another after marriage.

If not for the fact that she no longer had any feelings for him, she might have really been deceived by his sincere look.

The next morning.

Bai Xianyu was carried by Xie Xingyun on his back, wrapped like a dumpling in layers of robes.

She yawned on the man’s back, still wanting to sleep.

“Why are you up so early? We aren’t being pursued by any bandits…”

Xie Xingyun said, “If the meals can’t keep up, your abdomen will hurt again.”

Bai Xianyu mumbled an “oh” and fell asleep on him.

At noon, the two of them finally arrived at Buddha Temple.

Buddha Temple stood on top of a high mountain, and the room was halfway up. Xie Xingyun had already gotten someone to make arrangements in advance, so a monk led them there the moment they arrived.

Bai Xianyu saw that Xie Xingyun’s room was just next to hers and asked the little monk, “Little Master, are there any other rooms?”

The little monk smiled and said, “Benefactor, these are the last two rooms.”

Bai Xianyu resigned herself to fate and glanced at Xie Xingyun, but she saw a complex emotion on his face that she had never seen before.

Struggle, hesitation, relief… Or perhaps there was something else.

She interrupted his contemplation. “If there’s nothing else, 1’11 go in first.”

Xie Xingyun looked at the little monk. “Has Master Yu Chan arrived?”

Bai Xianyu frowned.

The little monk replied, “Master Yu Chan has been waiting for both of you for a long time..”
