In Chu Mubai's eyes, this was almost the ultimate beautiful scenery.

The woman before him was the image he had etched countless times in his dreams and memories.

His gaze was so intense that Xia Yixin's heart nearly jumped out of her chest.

Seemingly sensing her shyness, the man smiled and said, "After leaving the capital, Madam has been traveling as Yan Jiu. The harsh words you said in the county office that day were you angry that I didn't take care of my health?"

"Hmph." She turned her head away in a huff, trying to avoid him.

His smile deepened. "You've always been by my side, Madam. You've saved me more than once. And you have me in your heart, don't you?"

She pushed him frantically, saying, "Go back to your side..." After saying that, she turned her back to him and shrank back, as if she could avoid something, but she couldn't ignore the man's pleasant laughter.

I don't know how much time has passed.

After holding it in for a long time, she finally couldn't help but turn around and ask, "What exactly happened that night?"

Chu Mubai knew there was no need to hide it anymore, so he told her about what happened that night.

Xia Yixin's lips twitched. "So, that night you knew Madam Murong wanted her daughter to seduce me, and you saved me?"

He calmly recounted what happened that night, explaining that she had simply been confused and had said some things that he overheard.

Xia Yixin's eyes widened slightly in surprise. Was she that amazing...? But wait a minute.

"You're bluffing me!" He said he had checked her that day.

"That was just a ruse. I already knew your identity long ago. If I didn't force you, when would Madam reveal her true form?"

"Chu Mubai, you're really something!" She glared at him angrily. "I shouldn't have believed your nonsense, you scumbag, going to a brothel!"

She's settling scores later.

Chu Mubai sincerely apologized, "Mubai knows he was wrong. He knows he was in the wrong first, and it is right for Madam to punish him. During this time, even though I knew you were so close, I couldn't touch you. You avoided me and were afraid of me. I thought about you all the time, Madam, and worried that everything was wrong. Even when I went to the brothel, it was to investigate the disguise. If I hadn't forced you today, I don't know when I would have been able to see you again..."

"Madam, I will never let go again. Please forgive me."

Who in the world could resist this man's gentle and magnetic voice? Especially one that contained love and pleading.

Anyway, she couldn't handle it.

"It depends on how you do." She said, bluffing, her tone already incredibly soft.

Chu Mubai's smile deepened, knowing that he had found his treasure again.

She had expected to be nervous, but the familiar cool fragrance lulled her to sleep in no time.

I can sleep soundly until I naturally wake up.

The feeling of mutual affection is truly wonderful.

That day, the soldiers noticed that Lord Chu and General Yan seemed to have reconciled. Moreover, Lord Chu seemed to be following "him" under various pretexts.

The soldiers were puzzled and confused. On the way back to Mengcheng, someone spread a shocking piece of news... about the true relationship between the two people.

The soldiers' whispers and ambiguous glances did not escape Xia Yixin's notice. So when she picked up a soldier and found out that it was one of the soldiers talking in his sleep, her face darkened.

Although the soldier who was talking in his sleep insisted that he was just imagining things, no one believed him.

So that night, Chu Mubai was kicked out of the tent again, and Xia Yixin even said it was because she was "snoring and afraid of disturbing Lord Chu".

This is simply a cover-up.

The soldiers felt more and more as if they had discovered a huge secret. Chu Mubai patted the shoulder of the soldier who had "accidentally" spoken out of his sleep, and the soldier returned a knowing smile.

The soldiers, who had been holding back all the way back to Mengcheng, finally couldn't hold it in any longer.

As a result, the entire city of Montreal seemed to have learned some earth-shattering news!

Good heavens, think about it carefully. The adjectives General Yan used to describe the person he liked—wise, calm, and good-looking—are all Chu Mubai, aren't they?

Some believed it, some were shocked, some calmly accepted it, and some even refused to believe it was a rumor... all sorts of voices, and there was much discussion.

When Xia Yixin learned of this rumor, it was too late to stop it. Surprisingly, the public was quite accepting of it, which surprised her as a modern person.

Even more unexpectedly, when Zi Linglong blushed and asked her to confirm the rumor, before she could even think of how to explain, she inexplicably heard a system notification: "Ding! Congratulations to the host for gaining 100% favorability from the female lead and receiving 100 points! Current total points: 300!"

EXM?

She was a little flustered, but then she met Zi Linglong's slightly gleaming eyes, and it seemed she knew something she shouldn't know...
