Everyone advised her: "The Prince is just a bit dark-hearted, a bit perverted, and kills without remorse, but he can bring peace to the country with his pen, defend it with his sword, and his b...
Ye Junfei is definitely not the kind of good person people usually talk about. He is first-rate in both methods and scheming.
He kills people without even blinking.
But she felt that he wasn't a really bad person. He had his own standards for doing things and treated the people around him quite well.
As for her feelings for him, she felt somewhat helpless, because she knew perfectly well that her body would instinctively react with disgust whenever she got close to him.
Today, in order to deceive Yu Zhan, she couldn't control her body's reaction when she took Ye Junfei's arm.
She used a lot of strength to prevent herself from shaking off Ye Junfei on the spot.
Given their current situation, she wasn't really sure how far things would go in the future.
She smiled and said, "Of course, he is my husband, and in my heart, he is definitely the best in every way."
She raised an eyebrow slightly as she said this: "If he weren't good, why would I have married him?"
When Xu Qianting saw her bright smile, he couldn't tell whether he felt sad or happy for her.
He felt that he should still be happy for her, because only when she was happy could he feel at ease.
He lowered his gaze slightly and said, "As long as you're happy. If he treats you badly in the future, just tell me, and I'll take care of him for you."
Lin Xiuyan nodded: "Okay."
Although she felt that with Xu Qianting's abilities, he probably wouldn't be able to deal with Ye Junfei in his lifetime.
Xu Qianting added, "There's something else I wanted to tell you today: I've already signed up for the army."
"In a few days, I will be reporting to the army and will strive to become stronger."
He had told Lin Xiuyan about his plan to join the army last time.
Lin Xiuyan never expected that as soon as his injury healed, he would prepare to enlist in the army. This was something that had never happened in her previous life.
Xu Qianting may have a completely different life in the future.
She said from the bottom of her heart, "The army is full of dangers, Xu Qianting, you must take good care of yourself and live well."
“You understand me best.” Xu Qianting smiled at Daozi: “My mother started crying and making a scene at home as soon as she heard I was going to join the army.”
“My dad spoke up for me, and my mom gave him a really hard scolding.”
Lin Xiuyan knew that Madam Xu doted on Xu Qianting the most and couldn't bear to see him suffer. After this ordeal, Commander Xu had become more open-minded.
They have all grown up and must learn to face the storms of life.
She said gently, "Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, I believe you will become a better version of yourself in the future."
Xu Qianting grinned and said, "I think so too."
The warm sunlight shone on him, and Xu Qianting smiled brightly, just like the warm young man in his memory.
Lin Xiuyan was in a good mood after talking with Xu Qianting, recalling how Xu Qianting and Fan Xilou had trained at the Lin residence before.
Fan Xilou, who has already left Chongqing, is still unsure if he has returned home safely.
Fan Xilou had been home for several days. His mother wanted to eat steamed pork with rice flour today, and she was having the cook stir-fry rice flour. The air was filled with the fragrance of rice.
The aroma inexplicably reminded him of the night before he left the Lin residence, when he drank wine under the moon with everyone.
He was mild-mannered, and before going to Chongqing, his life was unremarkable and his life experiences were unremarkable.
During the time he spent with Lin Xiuyan and the others, he felt extremely dangerous and was very scared.
When he thought about these things again afterward, his state of mind changed, and he felt a sense of longing again.
When he was with them, life seemed to have a million possibilities, which he could never forget.
During dinner that evening, he said to Fan's father, "Dad, are we going to Chongqing to buy another batch of medicinal herbs? I'd like to go there myself."
Mr. and Mrs. Fan smiled at each other. Mrs. Fan said, "Ever since you came back from Chongqing, you've been talking about Chongqing and wanting to go there again."
"Tell your mother the truth, do you have a girl you like in Chongqing?"
For some reason, Fan Xilou recalled the image of Lin Xiuyan looking at him with her almond-shaped eyes and a smile, but back then, when he said he wanted to marry her, she directly refused.
His face flushed slightly: "No, that's not true. I just made a few friends in Chongqing, and they are all very interesting."
Mr. and Mrs. Fan exchanged a glance; they clearly did not believe what he said.
Mother Fan placed a piece of steamed pork on Fan Xilou's plate and said with a smile, "Your Uncle Lin's daughter, although I've heard she's a bit mischievous, is quite clever."
"If you truly love her, Mother will send a matchmaker to the Lin family to propose marriage another day. What do you think?"
Fan Xilou's face turned even redder: "This...this matter...cough, this matter is not urgent."
"I want to go to Chongqing again and ask her what she thinks."
When he left the Lin family, Lin Xiuyan and Ye Junfei were not yet married.
Although he had asked Lin Xiuyan once if she wanted to marry him, and she had refused, and with the scheming Ye Junfei by her side, he felt it was worth trying again. (cascoo.net)
If she still doesn't want to marry him, they can still be friends.
Mother Fan laughed: "Ask her what she means again? So you already asked her before?"
Fan Xilou realized he had let something slip and immediately buried his head in his food.
Mother Fan joked, "So, when you go there this time, do you want me to prepare the betrothal gifts for you in advance?"
Fan Xilou blushed and threw down his rice bowl, saying, "Father, I just remembered that the inventory at the warehouse hasn't been finished yet. I'll go take a look."
After he went outside, he could still hear Fan's mother and father laughing.
His face felt a little hot, but he still smiled.
Judging from their words, they are going to Chongqing to buy some medicinal herbs soon.
He felt a surge of excitement at the thought of going back to Chongqing.
He went to the warehouse with a smile, where there were only a few farmhands guarding it. When they saw him coming, they greeted him with smiles.
He responded with a smile and asked about the quantity of goods in the warehouse.
Actually, the inventory work in the warehouse was almost finished, and there was nothing else for him to do.
Fearing that his mother would laugh at him when he returned, he rested in a side room next to the warehouse.
The warehouse and residence of the Fan family were separate. The warehouse was located not far from the dock and three streets away from the residence for the convenience of transporting goods.
In the middle of the night, his door was banged on loudly.
He heard the farmhand's urgent voice: "Young master, something terrible has happened! The mansion is on fire!"
Fan Xilou, who was drowsy, was instantly wide awake upon hearing these words.
He hurriedly grabbed a shirt, slipped on his shoes, opened the door, and exclaimed in shock, "What did you say?"
The farmhand pointed in the direction of the Fan residence and said, "Young master, look over there! The Fan residence is on fire!"
Fan Xilou looked in the direction the farmhand pointed and saw flames filling the sky, illuminating the darkness of the city.
Fan Xilou's expression changed drastically. He quickly picked up his shoes and started dressing as he walked.
In the chaos, his clothes were haphazardly put on and buttoned up haphazardly.
When Fan Xilou rushed to the gate of the Fan residence, the fire inside was raging, and the entire mansion had become a sea of flames.
