Translator: Dragon Boat Translation | Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“You wish to meet Miss Xiao Ying?”
Yang Ruxue found it strange. Could it be that her daughter was giving Xiao
Ying something alone? She asked the servants to bring him in.
“Let him in!”
Xiao Lanxin’s heart skipped a beat. Although she was prepared, she felt a sharp pain in her heart, as if someone had stabbed her with a knife.
She pursed her hair and pulled the wrinkles on her clothes, not wanting to look too embarrassed.
Very soon, the servant brought the guest over. As a male, he could not be brought into the inner residence. She invited the guest to the reception room while Xiao Lanxin went to see him.
Yang Ruxue asked her with concern, “Auntie, will you go with you?”
“Aunt, there’s no need. There are some things I want to say alone.”
Xiao Lanxin refused. Although she knew that her aunt was doing this for her good, she couldn’t say what she wanted to say with outsiders present.
“Alright, if there’s anything, send someone to call me.”
Yang Ruxue gave in to her insistence, but she still reminded her with concern,
“I’ll be right behind you if you need me.”
“Thank you, Auntie.” Xiao Lanxin was touched.
Xiao Lanxin came to the reception room. Just as she had expected, the person who had come was Yelu Chun. He was dressed in Han Chinese attire, wearing a purple cotton robe, a black mink hat, and sheepskin cotton boots. Although he was dressed in ordinary clothes, it was difficult to hide his aristocratic aura.
Xiao Lanxin leaned against the door and looked at him with hesitation. Her eyes were filled with deep love and nostalgia for Yelu Chun.
Yelu Chun felt her gaze on him, and Xiao Lanxin lowered her eyes to hide her expression.
“Xiao Ying.”
Yelu Chun quickly walked to the door and reached his hand to Xiao Lanxin. He looked at his beloved girl with burning eyes.
Xiao Lanxin looked at the hand in front of her. His fingers were slender, and his skin was fair. She knew how warm his palm was and missed it. However, at this moment, she suppressed the longing in her heart and the excitement of throwing herself into his arms. She said calmly,
“There’s something I want to tell you.”
Yelu Chun’s hand was stretched out in the air. Seeing that Xiao Ying was distancing herself from him and not willing to put her hand in his, his yellowish-brown eyes dimmed for a moment but immediately regained their brilliance as he looked at Xiao Lanxin and asked,
“Xiao Ying, I miss you. Did you miss me?”
“… I did.”
Xiao Lanxin hesitated for a moment before speaking her mind. She missed him, and her dreams were filled with images of him saving her and his affectionate gaze.
“Ha, I know you miss me, so I came to see you.”
When he heard Xiao Lanxin say she missed him, the smile on Yelu Chun’s face became even brighter. He was as happy as a child. He kept looking at Xiao Ying in a daze. She was even more beautiful. Other than her spiritual aura, there was also a touch of gentleness. She was as fresh and beautiful as a lily.
When Xiao Lanxin heard Yelu Chun’s words, it was as if someone had bumped into her heart. Her heart thumped non-stop. She looked at him in a daze. The love in his eyes was like a flood. Her’s was the same. If it weren’t for those rumors, she would also reveal a bright smile and not hide her love for him.
But now, she had to make it clear!
“Brother Yelu, I have something to tell you.”
Xiao Lanxin took a deep breath. To hide her uneasiness, she walked to the square table and poured tea for Yelu Chun.
Yelu Chun could tell that something was wrong with Xiao Lanxin’s mood. He tilted his head to look at her and saw her eyes lowered, and her eyelashes were trembling. He knew that she was having an intense mental struggle.
Yelu Chun walked over without batting an eyelid and hugged her shoulders from behind, giving her the strongest comfort.
Xiao Lanxin felt his warm embrace and strong hands. Her body trembled. She squeezed the handle of the pot tightly. She wanted to let it go. She wanted to let it go and keep it a secret.
“Drink some water!”
Xiao Lanxin tried her best to calm herself down. She picked up the teacup and handed it to Yelu Chun. However, when she turned around, she met a pair of eyes as deep as the sea. In his eyes, there was only her and no one else. He was smiling at her, and his smile was as gentle as the spring breeze.
Xiao Lanxin looked at his smile greedily. Seeing the love in his eyes, she decided to let this moment stay for a while longer so that she could remember this moment, remember his face, and live the rest of her life with this memory. Seeing the sadness in Xiao Ying’s eyes, as if she was about to part with him in life and death, her eyes were filled with tears, making her look so pitiful that it made one’s heart ache.
Yelu Chun decided not to wait for her to speak and personally expressed his stance. He really couldn’t bear to see Xiao Ying suffer. He held Xiao Lanxin’s frail shoulders with both hands and looked into her eyes as he said to her with a severe expression,
“I know why you’re sad. Ignore those rumors. I don’t care about anything that happens. I only care about you.”
Xiao Lanxin looked at Yelu Chun in surprise. Did he already know? He didn’t care, even if he knew. Did he still want to marry her? However, she still had to make it clear to him.
“The news of me being kidnapped has already spread like wildfire. You are a prince, and the royal family cannot tolerate this.
” Our Tartan Kingdom doesn’t have any grudges in this regard. You don’t have to take it to heart. This matter will not affect our marriage in any way. I’ve already investigated it thoroughly. It’s Chu Jingfeng’s remnant who hated me for destroying their country, so they spread rumors. I’m sorry for making you suffer. Don’t worry; I’ve killed all those who dared to spread rumors. If anyone dares to talk about you again, I’ll kill them until they’re afraid.
Yelu Chun was only gentle when he was with Xiao Lanxin. He was also decisive in politics. From the moment he heard the rumors, he had launched a thunderous attack. He had chopped off the heads of more than ten people who spread the rumors, creating an excellent deterrent force. No one in Tartan dared to mention this matter again.
Xiao Lanxin didn’t expect Yelu Chun to trust her so much and did so much for her. She finally couldn’t hold back her tears. This time, they were tears of joy. “Don’t cry, don’t cry. I’ll take you out to relax. I’ll accompany you wherever you want to go.”
Yelu Chun’s heart ached when he saw her cry. He liked her smile, and when he saw Xiao Ying’s smile, he had no worries. He didn’t want her to cry. A man who made his woman cry was useless!
“I miss my sister-in-law and want to go to Luo City.
Hearing Yelu Chun mention it, Xiao Lanxin remembered that she had decided to visit her sister-in-law. She still wanted to go now. If she stayed here, she would still hear those annoying words. Only by staying by her sister-in-law s side could she indeed be carefree.
“Alright, I’m going there too to help your brother build his empire.
Yelu Chun took out a towel and wiped Xiao Lanxin’s tears. He initially went to Luo City to help his future brother-in-law in his conquest. He heard some bad news about the Xiao Family Army and was afraid that Xiao Zeyu would suffer.
It was only because he was worried about Xiao Ying that he came to Jingshi Dao first. Even if Xiao Ying did not ask to go to Luo City, he would have taken her with him.
Yang Ruxue was relieved to have Yelu Chun, her fiance, escort Xiao Lanxin. The Third Prince had to be warmly received on his first visit. Yelu Chun stayed at the Su residence for a night and left for Luo City with Xiao Ying the next day. The battle was imminent and could not be delayed for even a day..
