Chapter 440: Night Talk in the Temple
"Is there anything else?" Hu Xiner asked worriedly.
She nestled in Mu Qing's arms, looking at him with her big eyes.
Mu Qing's heart was about to melt under such gaze, but it was too embarrassing to talk about it, so he sighed and said, "It's not a big deal."
Hu Xin'er didn't believe it and urged him to explain himself clearly.
The light in the Zen room was as dim as a bean, and the dim light made Mu Qing's profile look like jade.
He tucked the corner of Hu Xin'er's quilt tightly and said silently, "We've been married for so long, but it wasn't until today that I realized that I'm not your legal husband..."
Hu Xin'er frowned: "What are you talking about?"
We're married and have a child, but my husband actually starts talking nonsense?
Mu Qing said slowly, "In terms of engagement, you are married to Lu Yunjue. In terms of fate, your true love is someone else. I am just a husband in name only."
He looked at her as if she were a heartless man.
Hu Xiner suddenly had a headache.
Oh, it seems that my jealous nature has struck again.
She shook his hand solemnly. "How can the affection between us be denied by a few words from outsiders? If you continue to talk nonsense like this, I will be very unhappy!"
Mu Qing naturally knew that he was just daydreaming, but he couldn't control his thoughts.
He said sullenly, "Maybe I'm just ignorant."
There was a sour smell in the air, which almost made Hu Xiner cough.
She quickly comforted her husband: "No, no, you are sensible. In my heart, you are the best."
Mu Qing rested his head on her neck: "Xin'er, do you know how much I'm afraid of losing you?"
Hu Xiner couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth. She was about to laugh at him for thinking too much, but she paused when she thought of what happened yesterday.
Mu Qing's fear probably didn't just come from her romantic affairs.
She even blamed herself for not protecting her as her husband.
When she jumped off the cliff, she only thought about her willingness to give and sacrifice, and only thought that her death might make the prince give up hunting down the Lu family.
But she subconsciously ignored how heartbroken Mu Qing would be as he watched her jump off the cliff.
In fact, if there had not been a tree in the cliff that acted as a buffer, and if they had not been saved by the mysterious Lingyin Temple, they would have probably died by now.
After being rescued, such things piled up in their minds one after another, making them overwhelmed.
It was not until this quiet night that the fear brought about by the various crises encountered yesterday came to my mind.
You know, in those life-and-death crises, even if they take a wrong step, they may die without a burial place.
She couldn't help but touch her lower abdomen with lingering fear. The little life there seemed to be asleep, rising and falling steadily with her breathing.
"This little girl is really broad-minded and sensible at times like this. She didn't bother you." Mu Qing looked at his wife, his brows relaxed, his long eyelashes cast a shadow, and his eyes were filled with infinite tenderness and pity.
Hu Xiner came back to her senses, gently stroked her belly and said, "Yes, if we continue to let our imagination run wild, even the baby will laugh at us for being ignorant."
Mu Qing let out an imperceptible sigh: "I just feel that I..." It's useless.
Hu Xiner blocked his lips with her fingers: "I know."
In fact, wasn't she also worried that she would become a burden to him?
The closest people are always like this, wanting to shield each other from all wind and rain, and therefore they deeply hate their own incompetence.
But human power is ultimately limited, and it may be God's will that determines whether life will be bumpy.
She looked at Mu Qing with anger, not allowing him to say anything discouraging: "No matter what fate holds, we must keep going hand in hand!"
Mu Qing held her wrist, somewhat moved: "But if I weren't there, you might have had a smoother life."
Hu Xin'er shook her head firmly: "Meeting you in this life is already my greatest luck. Now that I have decided on you in my heart, no one will ever shake your position in the future, unless you give up on me first!"
"You are such a silly girl." Mu Qing looked at her affectionately.
He seemed to understand why he had been praying to the Buddha in his previous life for the chance to meet the woman in front of him again.
No matter what the circumstances, she is always so warm and bright, able to illuminate people's hearts.
Seeing him cheer up, Hu Xin'er teased, "And no matter how you think about it, I should be the one worried. Because in the beginning, you were with me because you were my savior!"
"At that time, I was just thinking about being responsible for you." Mu Qing was a little embarrassed when talking about the past. "It was later that I was attracted to you during our interactions, so..."
"Actually, I'm just an ordinary person." Hu Xin'er leaned her head on his shoulder. "If you were to go back to my time, you'd find that even my shining points might be so insignificant among the masses."
Mu Qing held her in his arms emotionally: "Xin'er, don't underestimate yourself like this. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to survive the many crises along the way, and I might have died long ago."
Moreover, what he liked was the bright and confident Hu Xiner in front of him, not her identity as his savior.
"If it weren't for you, I would have been thrown into the lake on the first day I traveled back." Hu Xin'er couldn't help but smile sweetly. "Who cares if it's fate or not? Isn't this our unique destiny? Whether in the past life or this life, I only recognize you!"
Mu Qing was infatuated with her appearance. The cuteness and innocence in Hu Xin'er's face and eyebrows had faded, and she was more charming and graceful. When she smiled, her eyes were full of affection.
The distance between the two is getting closer.
Hu Xin'er suddenly turned her back and asked solemnly, "I have a cold now. If we come into close contact, will it be transmitted to you?"
Mu Qing was amused by her. His wife's ideas were always so wild and imaginative.
He pinched Hu Xin'er's chin, turned his head to kiss her, and said as he kissed her, "I'm not afraid."
Hu Xin'er couldn't dodge and could only close her eyes nervously: "Turn off...turn off the lights!"
With his lovely wife in front of him, how could Mu Qing have the mind to take care of the lights?
"I want to look at you." He said with a focused look and a slight smile, "Xin'er, just promise me this time, okay?"
"Okay... okay." Hu Xiner blushed. It was impossible for her not to be greedy for her husband after not seeing him for so long.
But turning on the lights was the limit of what she could accept!
She squeezed her eyes shut, her heart pounding.
When the two were in the heat of their passion, they suddenly heard a cough coming from next door.
In the Zen room next door, Jiang Yao had a cold expression on her face, but was doing something that was completely inconsistent with her cold temperament.
