Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Ye Siming narrowed his eyes and stood on the high platform, looking at the soldiers training below.
They were filled with vigor and their shouts shook the heavens.
The way the youth lowered his eyes made him look like a king looking down on everyone.
However, after hearing Bai Yi’s words, Ye Siming raised his head slightly and looked into the sky.
The sky was bright and large white clouds hung in the azure sky, making people feel comfortable.
Ye Siming couldn’t help but think of Gu Nuo’er.
What was the little thing doing now?
Ye Siming asked Bai Yi, “What did Madam Bai like about you back then that made her willing to marry you?”
Bai Yi stopped drinking.
His eyes widened. “What do you mean by that? I’m tall and mighty. Isn’t that enough?”
Ye Siming sneered. “In terms of skills, Madam Bai isn’t inferior to you. Don’t use this self-praising excuse to fool me.”
This brat!
Bai Yi held onto the railing. “What else could there be? Of course, it’s because we respect each other and love each other as if we love ourselves.” Ye Siming raised his eyebrows. “How do you explain this?”
“Madam has suffered a lot since she was a very young age. You’ve seen her father’s state. She doesn’t have a warm family to rely on at all and was even chased out of the house.
“We met when she was very young. Back then, my father hadn’t passed away yet. My wife and I could be considered childhood sweethearts.”
“She’s very good at enduring hardships. When she was in the military camp, in order not to be chased away, she often carried water with the young lads. There was once when I saw her secretly applying medicine to herself. The flesh on her shoulder was all scraped.”
“But she never cried in pain. In my impression, she didn’t cry much and had always been very strong. At that time, I made up my mind that I had to protect her like an older brother.”
“Later on, when we encountered difficulties, we comforted each other. When I went to war everywhere, she accompanied me without abandoning me. As time passed and we reached the marriageable age, I naturally asked for her hand in marriage.”
As Bai Yi spoke, he looked at the sky and smiled.
His facial features, which had been put through wind and frost, also revealed a hint of youthfulness when he thought of his beloved.
“Although I was already a general back then, I hadn’t saved up much money.
The betrothal gift for Madam’s marriage was only a pair of gold bangles.”
“However, she agreed to marry me without hesitation and even confiscated that pair of bangles. She said that since she had decided on me, she was willing to marry me even if I didn’t have money.”
“On the night of our marriage, I swore to her and my parents’ memorial tablets that I would only love her in this life and that there would be no other woman in the manor.”
Bai Yi looked at Ye Siming, his gaze filled with fatherly love, and he also used a teaching tone. “So do you understand, Siming? Neither love nor loyalty can be lacking.”
“A lady has handed her life to you, so you have to be responsible for doting on her for the rest of her life. That’s a real man!”
The youth was deep in thought.
A moment later, he suddenly said, “The wolf race is the same. They only have one spouse in their lives. We happen to agree on this point.”
Bai Yi took a sip of wine and nodded first. Then, he was stunned right on the heels of that.
Wolf race?
What did what he had just said have to do with the wolf tribe?
Bai Yi turned around and was about to ask carefully when Ye Siming was already prepared to walk down the observation deck.
“By the way, Old Bai, I forgot to tell you that Madam Bai doesn’t allow you to drink, but you drank a lot just now. When we get home later, I’ll tell her.” Bai Yi was shocked and looked down at the wine pouch in his hand.
A miscalculation!
He immediately strode after Ye Siming. “Brat! Why did you plot against me again?!”
The more Ye Siming did this, the more Madam Bai felt that he was reliable.
Now, she had even started to let Ye Siming keep an eye on Bai Yi. She didn’t want him to always act like an old child..
