Chapter 18 Chapter 18 My wife, believe me.
"What are you... talking about?" Mu Xi's face was full of confusion and surprise. Han Yinfeng took her hand again and said, "My lady, get in the carriage first. I will explain everything to you in detail."
Mu Xi lowered her head and thought for a moment, then looked up at him and said, "I have to go back."
"Madam, do you want to get something?"
What to take? Mu Xi actually didn't have anything to take.
She was faced with such a chaotic situation for a moment, and subconsciously wanted to go back, close the door and stay alone. It seemed that after this, all the injustices would be over. If they were not over, it meant that time had not passed long enough.
Han Yinfeng looked at her without saying anything, and something in his heart moved. He wondered if she was going back to get something he needed?
"My lady, it's alright. Let's go first. We really can't go back now. Once those people have calmed down, I'll send someone to get whatever you want for you."
Mu Xi frowned slightly. "Those people?" she asked. "Which people?"
Han Yinfeng raised his arm in the direction of the carriage, his meaning clear.
Mu Xi pursed her lips. She really didn't want to just leave like that, but Han Yinfeng seemed really anxious. If it was an act, could his acting skills improve so quickly?
"We have to say goodbye." Mu Xi took a step back.
"I wrote a letter for you and left it at home. Madam Qin and the others will see it if they come looking for you." Han Yinfeng continued to persuade her, "The most urgent thing is to leave here. If you insist on staying, you might really get them into trouble." He held Mu Xi's hand tightly, "Madam, trust me."
Mu Xi never thought that the plot she had seen in the movie would happen to her one day.
But then again, she has traveled through time, so what could she not encounter?
Perhaps it was a delusion for a time traveler to live an ordinary life. Even if she stayed in the same place for decades without moving, stories and accidents would automatically come to her.
Mu Xi sat in the shaking carriage, looking at the person beside her who brought stories and accidents.
"Can you tell me now?"
Han Yinfeng was a little surprised and looked at her.
Mu Xi's voice sounded a little cold. He didn't know if it was an illusion or something. When he looked over, he found that her eyes were the same, full of strong defensiveness. He knew that the feeling given to him by the tone just now was not an illusion.
Han Yinfeng clenched his fingers in his sleeves and spoke softly, telling the "whole truth".
After listening to this, Mu Xi did not speak for a long time.
Han Yinfeng didn't know how much she listened to and how much she believed.
"My wife." He called Mu Xi softly, "Can you please say something?"
Mu Xi looked at him, "You mean... ten years ago, my family was almost wiped out, and now I'm the only one left?"
"Yes." Han Yinfeng nodded.
"You're saying... you and I were betrothed because our mothers had a good relationship. Back then, you were young and powerless, unable to make decisions. You couldn't save me or my family, and now..."
"Yes." Han Yinfeng held her hand and looked into her eyes. "My dear, I was wrong in every way in the past. I will make amends to you in the future. I will do my best to compensate you."
Mu Xi was silent for a while, then pulled her hand back. "You mean... all those people who died recently were assassins sent by An Ren because he knew I was still alive, and you guys took care of them?"
Han Yinfeng lowered his head and kept looking at Mu Xi's hand.
He said, "The two outside, one named Mingyu and the other named Yingzhang, are my subordinates. They took care of everything. They will also be responsible for protecting you from now on."
"Then why do you want to leave now?"
Hearing this question, Han Yinfeng looked up at her again, "I thought things were simple, thinking that I could be alright if I just stopped those who came to try their luck."
Han Yinfeng paused, then suddenly leaned forward and hugged Mu Xi, just like when he first met her. He lowered his head and buried his face in Mu Xi's neck, took a deep sniff, and felt Mu Xi's body suddenly become stiff.
"I don't want to lose you again, so we have to go." He sniffed and whispered, "I know my wife just wants to live a peaceful and stable life, so I didn't say anything before. But now the situation is different. If my wife doesn't know anything, if one day she encounters a bad guy alone... I don't know what to do."
He let go of Mu Xi and felt her relax in an instant. "So even if I don't want to say it, I have to say it." His tone was full of worry and grievance.
Mu Xi digested it for a while, nodded slightly, and didn't express anything else.
Han Yinfeng watched her move back a little, as if he felt the distance between them was too close. His eyes dimmed slightly and he turned away.
At first, when he knew that the woman he met five years ago was the person he was looking for, he thought it would be easy to accomplish.
Based on past experience, he could easily conquer the other party with just a flick of his finger, and the other party would be willing to submit to him.
But the reality was not like that. When he arrived, he found that Mu Xi was very difficult to deal with. The other party was always on guard against him, and his words and actions were all sarcastic and tempting. He endured all of that for the sake of his ultimate goal, but in the eyes of the other party, it made him more certain that he was a bad person.
Later, Mu Xi tried to speak frankly with him, but he didn't tell the truth. It can be seen from the conversation between Mu Xi and Qin Xing'er that -
She had no romantic feelings for him at all.
After she had even considered it cleverly for him, she came up with the idea of helping him to find a match, as if she was more certain than he was that there would be no future between the two of them.
Later, Han Yinfeng repeatedly lowered his limits, from simply lying to deceiving her, to explicitly expressing his love, to occasional physical contact...
From then until now, his life and death can almost be said to be in Mu Xi's hands.
It doesn't matter whether she really knows nothing or has been lying to him.
Chastity, which other men regard as their life, is nothing important to him. If Mu Xi wants it from him, he will just give it to her.
But she didn't want this, nor did she say she wanted anything else.
Han Yinfeng thought, if this woman fell in love with me, she would definitely not want me to die.
Things have come to this point, and there is nothing that cannot be sacrificed.
Thinking of this, Han Yinfeng heard Mu Xi ask him: "Besides five years ago, have we met again?"
Han Yinfeng shook his head, "No."
"So five years ago you didn't know who I was."
Han Yinfeng nodded, "Yes."
Mu Xi suddenly laughed, and Han Yinfeng's face changed suddenly, as if facing a great enemy.
"What are you laughing at, ma'am?"
"Nothing, I'm just curious. The feeling you gave me five years ago is completely different from the feeling I had this time. Since we were engaged at birth and we only met once five years ago, and we haven't met before or since, how could you have such deep feelings for me?"
yes.
Han Yinfeng has never understood why Ji Lian has such deep feelings for a woman he has never met. He is willing to go against his parents for her and keep their old family members. Now he has traveled thousands of miles to find her after fighting wits and courage with him many times.
But Mu Xi was asking him now, so of course he had to have his own reasonable reasons.
"Five years ago, when we first met, my wife saved my life. I was very grateful at the time, but because of my special status, I was worried that getting close to my wife would cause trouble for her, so I didn't dare to have any thoughts. Later, I found out that my wife and I were already engaged. Thinking back to that day, I was shocked to realize that it was a match made in heaven, destined."
Ancient people were indeed superstitious, Mu Xi thought.
"Where are we going now?" she asked.
Han Yinfeng answered softly: "Actually, I don't know either, but it's always a good idea to conceal your identity and leave Luan County first. Those bad guys are closing in step by step, and who knows what they will do. I dare not gamble with my wife's safety." Mu Xi didn't say anything, and Han Yinfeng held her hand again.
How many times has this happened today?
Mu Xi thought that after revealing his true identity and origins, apart from anything else, this person actually became a lot more proactive.
It made her feel a little... afraid to avoid it.
"My lady, please believe me." Han Yinfeng stared at her.
Mu Xi thought, this was the second time she had heard these four words today. The fact that they were emphasized so much made her seem less trustworthy.
She sighed softly and nodded slightly, and Han Yinfeng immediately smiled. However, this smile abruptly ended when Mu Xi pulled her hand away again.
He said aggrievedly: "Madam, are you still unwilling to believe me?"
"The fact that I'm willing to come out with you says it all." Mu Xi didn't fall into the trap of proving herself, but threw Han Yinfeng's doubts back to him, letting him resolve and digest them himself.
Han Yinfeng was stunned.
During the silence, Mu Xi asked him, "Are you sure that since I'm not in Luan County, Xing'er and the others will be fine even if those enemies you mentioned come looking for us?"
Han Yinfeng asked subconsciously: "Madam, are you worried about Mr. Qin?"
As soon as the words came out, not to mention Mu Xi, Han Yinfeng himself was stunned.
Who the hell is Qin Li?
Mu Xi had already left Luan County with him, and it was basically impossible for her to return. At this time, instead of trying to comfort her with kind words, he asked such a rhetorical question to make the situation more rigid...
Han Yinfeng thought that maybe Mu Xi was originally just worried about her students, but now after he reminded her, she began to really worry about Qin Li.
madness.
Han Yinfeng smiled awkwardly and said, "I have more than just Mingyu Yingzhang by my side. I also have people who stayed in Luan County. I also left a letter, which just proves that we left without saying goodbye. No one else knows. Don't worry, my lady, they will be fine."
Mu Xi nodded slightly.
She thought, whether Han Yinfeng really didn't know where to go or didn't want to tell her, she had no way out at the moment.
If what Han Yinfeng said was false, the two men outside also looked like martial artists, and with Han Yinfeng added, she would not be able to escape.
If what Han Yinfeng said was true, if she rashly left them, she would not know which person she met in the crowd just wanted to kill her, which would easily lead to the embarrassing situation of asking for trouble.
After thinking about it, I decided to just follow them.
Take one step at a time and see how it goes.
