"I never did anything! I was just acting!" He suddenly jumped up, knelt on the bed, raised his finger to the sky and swore, "If I, Huo Jingsha, had anything to do with Liu Yuefang, may I be struck by lightning, suffer from a hundred diseases, and die a horrible death!"
Boom... Boom! A clap of thunder flashed by, making Huo Jingsha jump out of bed in anger. Why did this thunder have to strike now of all times? He couldn't explain himself no matter what. In his agitation, he got up and was about to run towards his sword. "Heavens are pulling this trick again. They did the same thing to me last time. This time, I'll prove my innocence with my death."
Seeing that he was serious, Shu Yao laughed and grabbed him, "Alright, alright, I believe you? Have you forgotten that it's the rainy season right now? It's not normal for it to be cloudy all day and then have a few claps of thunder at night?"
“Yao’er, I knew you would come to find me that day, so I deliberately withdrew all the guards and let you enter the main courtyard without any hindrance. It was all to make you give up. I deliberately staged that scene. And I dragged her to bed just before you arrived. After you left, I chased her away. I didn’t let her stay for a moment longer. Later, I was afraid you would do something rash, so I silently followed behind you. I have never had a relationship with any other woman besides my wife!”
"Okay, okay... I understand!" Recalling the past, her eyes welled up with tears again.
Huo Jingsha hugged her tightly, his expression sorrowful. "I was really scared. I was afraid that there would be more misunderstandings and estrangement between us as husband and wife. It was so hard to get to where we are today. Now we have a son and a daughter, which makes a perfect family. We can be together every day. I am content with this life. Fame, fortune, and power are not as important as our family."
"Yes!" Shu Yao nodded. He really hit the nail on the head. "I never thought you could get away from the Embroidered Uniform Guard unscathed, just like I never thought I could get away from the assassin organization. I heard that it's impossible to do it unless you die. It's really a blessing that our family of four can be reunited and happy now."
“Yes, Yao’er is right. It can only be said that misfortune turned into blessing. I thought I was going to go with you, so I made up my mind to leave the Embroidered Uniform Guard. Who would have thought that I would have this opportunity in the end?” He gently hugged her, his chin resting on the top of her head. He felt that God had finally been kind to him in this matter. “My wife, it’s so good to be able to hold you like this. The fact that you are alive, and that I can see and touch you every day, is the greatest blessing for me.”
He tightened his arms, wrapping her up tightly.
Shu Yao's eyes welled up with tears. "Speaking of all this, I have to thank that old Taoist priest."
"What are you thanking me for? If it weren't for that damned old man who played us like fools, we wouldn't have had to go through that damned 'knowing each other but not being able to stay together' situation. I would have cursed him too much."
Mentioning that old Taoist priest immediately ignited Huo Jingsha's anger, making him wish he could pluck out every single hair and beard from the old man's head to vent his fury.
"Actually, I'm very grateful to him," Shu Yao smiled. "If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have been able to gauge how much you love me. I didn't know that you loved me to the point of being willing to live and die with me. And if we hadn't gone through all these trials and tribulations, I'm afraid I would have had a hard time forgiving everything you did. So... in my eyes, the Taoist priest is my savior, not a bad person!"
“I don’t deny those things, but he made me think you were going to die for sure, and he almost killed himself with a single blow. Wasn’t that a bit too much of a joke?”
"Hey, hey, hey... The Taoist priest wasn't joking with you, and he did tell you how to fix it. It's because you didn't use your brain, okay? That's why we almost lost our lives."
“He said that as long as the Huo family has no heir, he can rekindle his relationship with you. Anyone who hears this would obviously think that he is going to kill his son,” he said through gritted teeth.
"But didn't he call Qi over in time and give his son to him to be adopted, so that he would have the surname Tao?" That was the first time she learned Qi's real surname. She thought he had given her a fake name, but it turned out to be true. The reason he deliberately hid his surname was because the combination of his given name and surname was really funny... Tao Qi, hahaha, she almost laughed out loud in that serious occasion. This name was completely inconsistent with his taciturn, cold, and unsmiling image.
"Your surname is Tao, so you'll have no offspring, which will also break the curse placed on you by the old Taoist."
Thinking back to that day, the two of them still felt lingering fear. Just when she had lost too much blood and was on the verge of death, and he was about to end his own life in despair, the contract appeared. The old Taoist immediately ordered Xu Chang to bring Xiao Bao over and perform the adoption ceremony, saving their lives. It was truly an extremely dangerous situation!
"I think that old Taoist priest is no ordinary person. Otherwise, how could he bring people back to life and also foresee many things? Perhaps... he is actually a celestial being from heaven!"
Huo Jingsha's face darkened. "My wife, you're probably mistaken. He's not an immortal; 'demon' is a more fitting description. He's a devil who takes pleasure in watching people suffer!"
Shu Yao smiled and sat up lazily. Unexpectedly, the blanket slid down a bit, revealing her fair and smooth breasts. Huo Jingsha's expression immediately changed. All his complaints and anger disappeared. He was filled with lust and pounced forward, but she pressed a small foot against his face. It didn't matter. He would still eat her!
*** ***
"Tao Qi, come here!" Huo Jingsha grabbed Qi and dragged him into a nearby alley.
"Huo Dashan, are you looking for death? Don't forget, you're my brother-in-law now." Qi slapped his hand away. He'd even given him his son, and he still dared to act so disrespectfully!
Huo Jingsha glared at him fiercely. "What, are you unhappy to see me suddenly come back? Too bad, there's nothing I can do, my wife is destined to be with me."
