As Su Xuerong spoke, she reached out and gently traced the outline of his cheek: "Why didn't you come to marry me back then?"
Xiao Yuan was startled and suddenly sat up: "You...you know?"
Seeing his nervous expression, Su Xuerong couldn't help but laugh: "I always thought you were only attracted to my good looks, but later I felt like I'd known you for a long time..."
At this point, she couldn't help but reach out and pinch his cheek: "Why didn't you let me see your true face back then?"
Xiao Yuan grabbed her hand tightly, his face full of guilt, and said, "I originally planned to tell you my true identity before I left, but that day Ming Shu brought people to the cave, and I waited for you until sunset. Our enemies had already caught up with us, so I had no choice but to leave..."
He didn't even have time to propose to her before leaving, and could only depart with regret.
Su Xuerong blinked at him and asked, "Then why didn't you tell me later that the person I saved back then was you?"
Seeing her uneasy expression, Xiao Yuan hurriedly said, "I didn't mean to hide it from you. I was just worried that you would think I was scheming..."
Su Xuerong glanced at him: "Aren't you one?"
Xiao Yuan's cheek twitched slightly.
Indeed, he did many things behind her back...
She traced the outline of his thinner eyebrows and eyes with her hand, then suddenly smiled: "But I like it..."
Upon reflection, after he met her again, wasn't everything he did secretly for her own good?
Xiao Yuan's heart immediately settled back into his stomach. Looking at the woman's smiling face, a warm feeling welled up in his heart, and he couldn't help but hug her tightly.
"Sometimes I regret that I didn't marry you without any hesitation back then. We wouldn't have had so many ups and downs, and you wouldn't be..."
Xiao Yuan had always felt regret.
I regret the choice I made back then.
"Looking back now, I realize that my marriage to you didn't necessarily bring me much benefit. Instead, you became a cancer in my life..." Xiao Yuan said with a guilty look. "If only I had been able to set aside all worldly views and marry you back then, how wonderful that would have been?"
In the end, after going around in circles, the two of them ended up back at the same place.
But during this time, Ah Rong suffered countless hardships.
Su Xuerong looked at his guilty face and smiled gently: "Do you know that after I fell into a coma, I had a long dream, and in the dream... I saw you from the past..."
The bright red "double happiness" candles in the bridal chamber flickered softly, and Su Xuerong's melodious voice quietly recounted the dream.
"...Then I lifted my hood and saw you!"
Su Xuerong looked at him with a radiant smile, her eyes sparkling with captivating light.
Something was slowly sprouting in Xiao Yuan's heart. The deepest ice in his heart melted in that instant, revealing the softest part.
This is his biggest regret.
Unexpectedly, in Arong's dream, they filled this void.
Seeing the suppressed emotions in his eyes, Su Xuerong said softly, "Let's forget the past and live a good life from now on."
The fact that she had been married before could not be changed, and God could not grant her wish to return to three years ago, so she could only look forward.
Xiao Yuan suddenly reached out and grabbed the back of her head, his thin lips pressing tightly against her slightly parted red lips...
Yes, it's all in the past, why is he still dwelling on Ah Rong's past?
Since he had already married her in her dreams, what regrets could he possibly have?
Live a good life from now on...
Immediately, Xiao Yuan's mind conjured up an image of the two of them holding hands like an ordinary couple.
He suddenly became excited, hugged Su Xuerong tightly in his arms, and deepened the kiss.
But the person in his arms started breathing rapidly and even punched him a few times.
Once Xiao Yuan regained his senses, he immediately released her, his face full of worry: "Are you alright?"
Su Xuerong's face was flushed, her lips were moist and swollen, and her eyes were brimming with tears. She glared at him reproachfully, "I can't breathe..."
Xiao Yuan quickly helped her lie down and covered her with the blanket: "Then, then you should rest well..."
He regretted his recklessness.
Ah Rong has only just woken up. If anything goes wrong again, he will regret it for the rest of his life.
Seeing his nervous expression, Su Xuerong couldn't help but laugh: "Don't worry, I'll be fine after a few days of rest..."
After lying in bed for more than a month, it's no wonder she had no strength.
After making a fuss for a while, Su Xuerong felt sleepy and gently rested her head on Xiao Yuan's shoulder before falling into a deep sleep.
Xiao Yuan turned his head to look at her beautiful profile and reached out to stroke her delicate cheek.
He would wipe her body every day during those days, exploring every inch of her skin, but at that time he had no desire to desecrate her.
But today...
Xiao Yuan regretted lying next to her, but a surge of emotion welled up inside him, so intense that he could hardly control it.
Su Xuerong fell asleep, but he felt the burning sensation getting stronger and stronger. Finally, he couldn't bear it any longer and quietly got up and went outside. He took a deep bath with the icy well water to calm down.
The next morning, after Su Xuerong woke up, she nervously observed everything around her. She then gently pinched her thigh and felt a sharp pain before letting out a long sigh of relief.
Xiao Yuan turned to look at her: "You think you're still dreaming?"
Su Xuerong said somewhat embarrassedly, "I...I'm just worried..."
Xiao Yuan gently pulled her into his arms and kissed her forehead: "Silly girl, why bother?"
It pains me to see him like this.
Su Xuerong smelled the familiar ambergris scent emanating from him, feeling satisfied and happy.
