Chapter 45 Is he dead?

Qiao Su Luo looked up at Que Hong Jin, met his bright and smiling eyes, and saw clearly the emotions in them, which made her heart skip a beat.

At this moment, her heart was in a mess and she didn't know how to answer Que Hongjin.

Seeing her silence, Que Hongjin sighed inwardly, "My wife is unwilling to accept me?"

"Whatever my wife doesn't like, I will change it."

"I will try my best to please my wife."

When Que Hongjin said this, the smile in his eyes gradually disappeared and he seemed to be nervous.

Qiao Su Luo's eyelashes trembled slightly. She knew she couldn't bear to see his sad look, so she whispered, "No."

"You're fine, don't think too much."

"It was just too sudden. I was a little confused and not mentally prepared."

Hearing this, Que Hongjin finally breathed a sigh of relief. He gently stroked her hair and said softly, "It's my fault for not telling my wife in advance."

"Then I'll take it as my wife's agreement, but I'll give her a few days to prepare herself mentally."

"OK?"

Que Hongjin's voice was mellow and pleasant, like a gurgling stream, flowing into her heart. His warm breath brushed against her red earlobes, making her mouth even drier.

Her head was buzzing and she nodded uncontrollably, "Okay."

Seeing her nod, Que Hongjin seemed very happy, with a charming smile on his face. He hugged her, lowered his head and kissed her forehead, murmuring, "My wife is so kind. I will love her well in a few days."

Qiao Suluo's heart beat rapidly. She felt that she couldn't even look at Que Hongjin like this. Her heartstrings were deeply plucked by him.

Qiao Su Luo turned her head slightly and saw the props on the table. She came back to her senses and asked in confusion, "Why?"

"I wasn't nice to you before and even abused you."

If Que Hongjin is not a person who judges by appearance, then he will not be moved by her when he thinks about what she did to him in the past.

If she put herself in her shoes, she would only hate her. How could she possibly have any feelings for her?

Besides, even if she changed, they wouldn't believe her based on their experience.

Que Hongjin looked at Qiao Su Luo's puzzled expression and found it somewhat amusing. He lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "Because she is not my wife."

When Que Hongjin said this, he used an affirmative tone rather than a question or even a rhetorical question.

At this moment, his voice was so low and hoarse that it seemed as if his fingertips were brushing across his heart, causing a trembling arc.

Qiao Su Luo was shocked and looked at Que Hongjin in disbelief with wide eyes.

“You…you…”

Qiao Su Luo wanted to say something, but found that she couldn't say it.

She was shocked as to how he could have discovered this in such a short time.

Que Hongjin looked at her innocent reaction and whispered, "My Peacock Family's pure bloodline has unique abilities. I can see things that others can't see, and I can also judge them."

For example, her soul body is so beautiful and charming.

"So from the beginning I only wanted to be your beastly husband, not hers."

At this moment, Que Hongjin's picturesque eyes were filled with moonlight, her eyebrows and eyes were reflected in his pupils, and there was a tender luster burning in his eyes, as if he wanted to melt her into it.

These words were like a stone thrown into the lake of her heart, creating thousands of ripples in her heart and spreading a sweet feeling belatedly.

A hint of warmth suddenly welled up in Qiao Su Luo's eyes, her nose felt a little sour, and a layer of mist suddenly welled up in her eyes uncontrollably. The uneasiness and confusion in her heart were all supported by him at this moment.

"So you knew."

Qiao Su Luo's voice was slightly choked at this moment.

The unfamiliarity and uneasiness of this world seemed to relax my tense spirit.

Finally, someone could understand her, knew that she was not herself, and didn't have to bear everything of her previous life.

Que Hongjin looked at the mist in her eyes, and his heart suddenly felt as if pricked by a needle. He stretched out his slender jade-like fingers and gently wiped away the mist for her.

But the mist still remained, so he sighed softly, lowered his head and kissed away the mist from the corners of her eyes.

"Yes, I know. I will always be here. Don't be afraid."

Don't be afraid of the unfamiliar world.

He would stay by her side and protect her.

Soothed by Que Hongjin's gentle breath, Qiao Suluo gradually relaxed and allowed herself to lean in his arms.

Que Hongjin could feel her trust and dependence at this moment, so he held her even more carefully, as if she were a treasure.

"I always thought you hated me."

Que Hongjin sighed softly and said, "How can I bear to do that?"

How could I bear to hate her.

"You're not her either."

"My wife could have told me from the beginning."

Qiao Su Luo shook her head and said, "I can't say."

The system doesn't allow her to speak, and if she doesn't listen to the system and speaks directly, she will be automatically banned.

But if they found out, it wouldn't matter, she could just admit it.

Que Hongjin understood in an instant that there might be some restrictions for her to come here.

But as if he thought of something, a trace of uneasiness surged in Que Hongjin's heart, "Will my wife leave again?"

As he said this, Que Hongjin tightened his arms and hugged her tightly, as if that would prevent her from leaving.

Qiao Su Luo leaned in his arms and said, "Probably not."

"Is she...still there?"

When talking about her, there was a dangerous glimmer in Que Hongjin's eyes.

That "she" naturally refers to the predecessor.

Qiao Su Luo shook her head and said, "He's gone. He was struck by lightning that day and his soul was shattered."

Que Hongjin slowly breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."

"Don't be afraid, my dear wife. I won't let anyone hurt you. Whatever you want to do, I will be with you."

Qiao Su Luo nodded. After opening her heart at this moment, she felt at ease and had an indescribable trust in Que Hong Jin.

She was finally not alone in this world anymore.

…

At night, Qiao Su Luo dreamed of Yue Hanzheng again, and it was the same dream as last time.

This made Qiao Su Luo feel very uneasy.

So the next morning, Qiao Suluo didn't bother to set up the stall, and directly rented an ox cart with Que Hongjin and Bai Qianluo to go to Yaowang Valley.

It takes about two hours, or four hours, to get from their village to Yaowang Valley by ox cart.

It was already noon when they arrived at the outskirts of Yaowang Valley.

Yaowang Valley occupies a huge valley, like a manor, with mechanical formations blocking the periphery.

Qiao Su Luo came to the outskirts according to the memory of her previous life and asked the gatekeeper to help find the manager Wai Gulin.

The gatekeeper went in to report, and Qiao Su Luo stood outside waiting.

Standing here, she could smell the rich aroma of medicinal herbs.

After a while, the guard came out and said, "Manager Lin lets you in."

Qiao Su Luo, Que Hong Jin and Bai Qian Luo went in together.

They arrived outside Manager Lin's small house.

Manager Lin saw Qiao Suluo coming and said calmly, "You've come at the right time. Yue Hanzheng's health is failing. You should take him back and take care of his funeral."

The reason why Manager Lin was willing to let Qiao Su Luo and the others take the person back was that he felt that Yue Hanzheng was once a member of the Duke Dingguo Mansion. If the people of the Duke Dingguo Mansion remembered him in the future, it would not be worth it to find them for him.

It would be better to let Qiao Su Luo take her back, so that when the Duke Dingguo's Mansion seeks revenge in the future, it will be Qiao Su Luo.

"What?"

When Qiao Suluo heard this, her face changed drastically.

Her fingers trembled. Could it be that the scene in her dream was really like this? Would he be dead?
