Xuan Yuanzhan's eyes widened suddenly as he looked incredulously at Su Xuening, who was trying to kiss him despite her shyness, with her eyes closed.
She's kissing him?!
This was the first time she had ever kissed him first!
Her proactive response when he was drunk was enough to make him ecstatic, but this time...
The tentative softness on her lips drove Xuan Yuanzhan completely mad. He wrapped one arm around her slender waist and the other hand around the back of her head, prying open her teeth as if instructing her, and thrusting in to make her dance.
His domineering and wild nature made her panic for a moment, but she quickly calmed down, reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck, trying to respond to him.
Whatever the purpose, let's consider this kiss a farewell!
In remembrance of their love, a love that could not be fulfilled!
Her rare initiative and enthusiasm drove Xuan Yuanzhan mad. He had regained his memories of the Cold Pool, and all the scenes and feelings they had shared together—how could he not be infatuated?!
He held her head tighter, deepening the kiss once more. He entwined himself with her desperately, as if trying to once again meld her into his very bones.
Today, Su Xuening was also crazy, though not as wild as him, she responded to him with the same passion.
The two kissed passionately, temporarily forgetting all the troubles and worries of the world.
Their madness also caused the Love Flower Gu within Su Xuening's body to become wildly agitated.
Su Xuening's body was quickly overwhelmed by the Love Flower Gu due to this lack of restraint, and she soon collapsed into Xuan Yuanzhan's arms.
"Ning'er~" Xuan Yuanzhan finally realized something was wrong, stopped what he was doing, and looked at her with concern.
Nestled in Xuan Yuanzhan's arms, Su Xuening gasped softly, her eyes gleaming with seductive allure, "My love flower poison has taken effect..."
The lust in Xuanyuan Zhan's eyes was instantly replaced by regret.
Damn it! How could he forget about the love potion in her body and still be pestering her like that!
Su Xuening raised her hand and rolled up her sleeve, revealing that her fair, jade-like wrist was already covered with the love flower vines.
The wrist that Xuan Yuanzhan had been wanting to see was suddenly revealed to him.
The love flower that used to grow on his wrist is now growing on her wrist. Xuan Yuanzhan felt like he wanted to beat himself to death.
Su Xuening had tried her best to hide the Love Flower Gu, but now she willingly exposed her most vulnerable side to him: "As long as I have any feelings of love, the Love Flower Gu in my body will take effect, and my wrists will be covered with these red threads. Because of the Love Flower Gu, we can't be together. If we really consummate our marriage, we will both be harmed by the Love Flower Gu. I don't want to hurt you!"
Xuan Yuanzhan almost forgot that Master Daoyi had mentioned the backlash of the Love Flower Gu, and felt even more guilty, struggling to explain something: "Ning'er, actually..."
Before he could finish speaking, Su Xuening suppressed the surging heat within her and looked at him guiltily, saying, "Xuanyuan Zhan, when I first entered the Holy King's Mansion, besides avoiding Xuanyuan Yu, it was also to provide a safe haven for the child in my womb. To protect myself, I offered to marry you to bring good luck. I also thought that if you really didn't survive, my child could rightfully inherit everything from the Holy King's Mansion. I was just that selfish, doing everything only for myself. I don't deserve your kindness at all."
Xuanyuan Zhan immediately shook his head: "You did it to protect yourself, and for... the child, and there's nothing wrong with that!"
Even now, he was still defending her and making excuses for her. Su Xuening's eyes suddenly reddened, and she couldn't help but choke up, saying, "I really didn't expect that you and the Dowager Consort would be so good to me. You respect me and care for me, and the Dowager Consort treats me like a daughter. You don't know that the better you treat me, the more uneasy I feel. I suffer from the torment of my conscience every day, but these things are so hard to talk about. I'm sorry that I'm only telling you the truth now!"
"Stop talking." Xuan Yuanzhan hugged Su Xuening tightly, his heart aching.
He's the one who should apologize, he's the one who should feel guilty, and he's the one who should beg for forgiveness!
She didn't need to apologize to him at all; she hadn't done anything wrong in any of it!
"Let me tell you!" Su Xuening looked at Xuan Yuanzhan pleadingly. She had finally mustered up the courage to tell him these things. If she didn't make things clear today, she was afraid she wouldn't have the courage to bring it up again in the future.
The love potion within her was churning wildly, nearly driving Su Xuening mad. She uncontrollably snuggled against Xuan Yuanzhan's chest: "Do you know? Because of how good you are to me, because this person is you, before this, I had thought of keeping it from you, selfishly spending my life with you. But the better you are to me, the less I can be so selfish. Later, I thought, tell you the truth, accept all your decisions. I also held onto the hope that if you can still accept me, perhaps we still have a chance to be together. And that man is just a passerby in my life; I will never look for him again."
Su Xuening's words secretly pleased Xuan Yuanzhan.
He never knew that she had thought about so many things on her own. She had considered every possibility, and she had even thought about spending her whole life with him.
Doesn't this prove that she likes him too?
“But my master said that the Love Flower Gu in my body will transfer to my child. And to remove the Love Flower Gu, I need that man’s essence and blood and the mother Gu of this Love Flower Gu. So whether it’s essence and blood or the mother Gu, I have to find that man.” Su Xuening said in a hoarse voice with dim eyes, full of helplessness and exhaustion.
She's been searching for so many days and still hasn't found the man. She doesn't know if she'll be able to find him before giving birth!
Xuan Yuanzhan panicked instantly. Could the child really have been infected with the Love Flower Gu?
So the reason she sought him out was to remove the Love Flower Curse.
He can give his blood essence, but he doesn't have the mother Gu of this Love Flower Gu!
Su Xuening suddenly looked up at Xuan Yuanzhan, her eyes filled with bitterness: "Xuan Yuanzhan, we are ultimately destined to be apart. Whether you want a divorce or to disown me, I will accept it!"
Hearing her say these words again, Xuan Yuanzhan's heart became even more chaotic. He remained silent for a moment before speaking: "Do you hate that man?"
“I don’t hate him!” Su Xuening shook her head without hesitation: “If Zui Hehuan hadn’t been cured, I would have died. Even if I hadn’t met that person, I would have met someone else. So he saved my life. I don’t hate him.”
She did harbor resentment in her past life, but in this life, she took the initiative to seek him out. She wanted her child back, so she neither hates nor resents him, and she has no regrets!
Seeing her shake her head so firmly, Xuan Yuanzhan was deeply moved.
If a woman can be so open-minded, what is there for him to be conflicted about?
Be honest with her, tell her the whole truth, and like her, let her do whatever she wants, no matter what she thinks.
There's only one thing he doesn't want: a divorce or to be divorced. He can't be separated from her. He's willing to do anything else!
After thinking it through, Xuan Yuanzhan finally mustered up his courage: "Ning'er, actually I..."
