She held her breath, trying to maintain a steady pace so as not to appear flustered.
"one"
"two"
"three"
I counted in my mind, and finally, I managed to pass by it.
Just as she breathed a sigh of relief, with only half a step left to go downstairs, and was about to quicken her pace...
"etc……"
Finally, that familiar voice rang in my ears.
My heart skipped a beat.
Then, Yi Shangyun's steps paused almost instinctively.
Then, she pretended that the voice was not directed at her.
He took another step without hesitation and quickly went downstairs.
The two stood back to back.
Xuan Yuanhan turned slightly to the side and glanced at the scene. He saw that although the person had clearly heard his words of warning, the person not only did not stop, but instead quickened their pace and ran downstairs.
Then, with a sudden turn, he grabbed her arm and pulled her tightly in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, in this situation.
Yi Shangyun felt so nervous that she felt as if she was about to stop breathing.
At this moment, Xuanyuan Han suddenly asked, "Still trying to escape?"
Because it happened so suddenly, I was caught off guard and grabbed without any warning, and I was also very nervous.
At that moment, she lost her footing and was about to fall heavily down the building.
"ah!"
With a scream, Yi Shangyun tightly closed her eyes in fear.
"careful!"
But Xuan Yuanhan swiftly approached again, and the hand that had been binding her landed on her slender waist.
With his other hand, he quickly reached out and instantly pulled her into a tight embrace around her waist.
Yi Shangyun was still in shock and didn't even have time to think about how she landed steadily on the ground floor.
In an instant, their eyes met.
The scene before my eyes.
For Xuanyuan Han, he had waited for far too long, as if it were a lifetime ago.
How many times?
How many mornings and evenings, how many days and nights?
He thought he had truly lost her for the rest of his life.
He even hated her to the core.
We promised to hold hands and grow old together.
Why is she always so cold and heartless to him?
How much longing?
In the darkness of night, when there was no news from her, he was almost swallowed up inch by inch.
What exactly was this woman thinking at this moment?
...
This time, I had never seen his face so closely.
Yi Shangyun was astonished to find that the man in front of her really looked exactly like Wei Mingxuan: "How...how could they be like this?"
But in an instant, he soberly reminded himself: "No, he just looks a lot like Wei Mingxuan, but he is not Wei Mingxuan! I must stay clear-headed and absolutely cannot continue to be entangled with him in this space."
Just then, Xuanyuan Han finally spoke first, saying, "So, you really are still alive?!"
"I……"
Just as Yi Shangyun was about to speak, Xuan Yuanhan suddenly hugged her tightly with a look of anxiety and heartache.
He leaned on her shoulder and whispered, "Thank God, Yun'er, you're still alive! That's wonderful! Do you know how scared and worried I've been about you these past few days?"
As he spoke, he couldn't help but hug Yi Shangyun even tighter in his arms.
In just a short while, Yi Shangyun felt as if she could hardly breathe, so she kept patting his back and begging him.
"open!"
"Let me go."
"You're hugging me too tightly!"
"I can't breathe."
Hearing her intermittent, weak voice, Xuan Yuanhan suddenly came to his senses and realized his mistake. He immediately loosened his grip and apologized to her repeatedly.
"sorry!"
"sorry!"
"I did not mean to."
"I'm just too happy!"
"I am so happy!"
Just then, Yi Shangyun forcefully pushed Xuan Yuanhan away from her embrace.
He then took two steps back, placed one hand on the wall, and took a few deep breaths.
Like a frightened bird, he huddled in the corner under the stairs, repeatedly denying it.
What are you saying?
"Who are you?"
"Yun'er?"
"What cloud?"
"I'm not!"
Are you sure you haven't mistaken me for someone else?
Seeing Yi Shangyun denying everything about herself, a scene so familiar, Xuan Yuanhan paused for a moment, then decided not to pay any attention.
Suddenly, out of the blue, she asked, "Are you feeling any better?"
Yi Shangyun was clearly taken aback by this nonsensical question: "What?"
Xuan Yuanhan smiled and strode forward to hug her tightly once again.
Yi Shangyun was shocked: "What are you going to do?"
Xuanyuan Han ignored her struggles and pulled her into his arms: "Be good, stop making a fuss. I am your husband. You need to know that, accept it, and get used to it. No matter what happens, I should and will face it with you. You can't keep refusing me and pushing me away!"
Hiding in such a large and warm embrace, feeling his heartbeat, and listening to such tender words of love, who could resist?
At this moment, Xuan Yuanhan no longer intended to let go. The scent on her body always calmed him down inexplicably.
“During the days you were away, I stayed in Yunshui Pavilion every day. The scent on you is exactly the same as the scent you left in Yunshui Pavilion. It’s all my fault for overlooking this before.”
"Actually, I should have known long ago that you were not dead, but I failed to recognize you."
"Outside Yongning Palace, that night I encountered a lost palace maid."
"And the guard who delivered the secret letter to me on that stormy night;"
"I'm sorry, but I will never forget this taste for the rest of my life."
"But... will Mo Yan not remember me from now on?"
"I know you've suffered too much these past few days..."
Such a deep and gentle voice was too much for Yi Shangyun to bear; she feared that if she continued, she would gradually succumb to its charm.
So she broke free from his embrace once more, feigning sudden realization, and said, "So it's... Your Highness, the Prince of Qin!"
She then quickly took two steps back and curtsied to him, saying, "This humble woman greets Your Highness Prince Qin. I thank Your Highness for saving me."
At that moment, all she wanted was to escape, so she said, "I have urgent business to attend to today, so I'll be leaving now!"
Just as he got up and was about to turn towards the door, Xuan Yuanhan reached out and pulled him back again.
This time, he pressed her whole body against his, holding her waist firmly with one hand.
His deep eyes questioned her: "Trying to use the same trick again, feigning amnesia? Thinking you can escape me with this tactic? Am I to you a flood, or a ferocious beast? That you dare not approach me?"
The trick had obviously been exposed. Yi Shangyun was taken aback for a moment, but her eyes darted away. She had no choice but to insist: "What old trick? This commoner doesn't know what Your Highness is talking about."
Suddenly, several passersby turned their gazes toward the two of them.
Yi Shangyun struggled and said, "You are the most noble Prince of Qin of the Western Qin Kingdom. How can you be so improper as to pull and tug at a strange woman like this? Please let go, Your Highness! Please have some self-respect!"
Unexpectedly, Xuanyuan Han did not loosen his grip on the half-handed part at all. Instead, he said, "You are my lawfully wedded queen, whom I personally welcomed into the family. Your name is still on the jade tablets of the ancestral temple. I do not understand why I should show any respect to my queen?"
No sooner had she finished speaking than Yi Shangyun firmly denied it: "I am not."
Seeing her repeatedly deny it, Xuan Yuanhan glared at her angrily.
In a moment of desperation, Yi Shangyun had a flash of inspiration and said, "Your Highness, have you forgotten that the royal family has already announced to the world that Princess Qin has passed away? Moreover, in a few days, Your Highness will be welcoming a new princess into the family. If someone sees us struggling like this today, it will damage Your Highness's reputation!"
As expected, Xuan Yuanhan was finally moved by these words and thought to himself, "It seems that this woman already knows everything, but I cannot tell her about it now and make her worry."
Suddenly realizing what was happening, how could Xuanyuan Han possibly let go again?
Instead, he moved even closer to her nose, his gaze fixed intently on her flustered eyes with an inexplicable intensity: "If you say that, I'll think you're jealous."
Just as Yi Shangyun was at a loss as he faced his approaching figure, Tuoba Ze and Mei Xiyuan finished their conversation, and Tuoba Ze was leading his men downstairs.
At this moment, Yi Shangyun was tightly cornered against the wall by Xuan Yuanhan and could not move at all.
Seeing Tuoba Ze come down the stairs, Yi Shangyun was extremely anxious.
"Let me go!"
"Let go right now!"
I'm begging you.
Just as Tuoba Ze was about to see Yi Shangyun's face, Yi Shangyun's eyes widened in shock.
Just as he was about to be exposed, Xuan Yuanhan suddenly bent down and used his entire body to cover the clouds on his clothes.
In an instant, a strong masculine aura enveloped her.
Immediately afterwards, Xuan Yuanhan went down and sealed his lips with a kiss.
At this moment, Tuoba Ze looked around and saw such a scene.
Then he gave a mocking smile to his retreating figure, and left by himself.
Soon, Yi Shangyun felt as if she was about to suffocate from the sudden deep kiss, so she used all her strength to push him away forcefully.
Immediately afterwards, there was a loud "snap".
A particularly loud slap landed on Xuan Yuanhan's face in an instant.
Yi Shangyun said angrily, "What are you doing? Why are you forcing me?"
When he slapped her, Xuan Yuanhan didn't care about the pain he felt, but then he noticed that there was a large burn on her hand.
So he hurriedly pulled her hand up again and asked with concern, "How did you burn your hand?"
Yi Shangyun was furious and felt extremely wronged, so she almost yelled at him, "Mind your own business..."
After saying that, she quickly pulled her hand back, and while crying, she ran out the door like a whirlwind.
