Chapter 25 Chapter 25 I don’t like you.
"I'm sorry to have made you worry." Han Yinfeng nodded slightly and was about to take the tea egg from Mu Xi's hand.
"No, I can do it myself."
"Don't dirty my hands."
Han Yinfeng lowered his eyelashes slightly, concentrating on the movements of his hands.
Mu Xixin calmed herself down and said softly, "It's all the same..."
Han Yinfeng simply raised his head and smiled at her. Mu Xi said, "You haven't had breakfast yet, right? What do you want to eat?"
"I will eat whatever my wife eats." His voice and tone were very gentle.
Mu Xi ordered another portion for him according to what she ordered.
Han Yinfeng ate very slowly. Even after Mu Xi was full, he was still chewing slowly. Mu Xi realized it later and asked, "What's wrong? Is things not going well?"
"Not really, just a little setback." Han Yinfeng looked at Mu Xi and said, "But let's leave here today."
Mu Xi naturally had no objection, but simply asked him, "Still no direction?"
Han Yinfeng looked at her, was silent for a moment, and said, "There is a place I want to take my wife to. It should be safe."
Mu Xi nodded, and Han Yinfeng asked, "My lady, why don't you ask me where I'm going?"
“…”
She thought for a moment and said, "Even if you tell me in detail, I still don't know where it is. It all depends on you to arrange it."
Han Yinfeng's lips curled up, but Mu Xi felt that he was not actually happy. He had been away for a few days this time, and when he came back, he gave her a different feeling than before.
It seems that things are really not going well, Mu Xi thought. She was afraid of causing her panic, so she didn't plan to tell her.
Mu Xi jokingly said to Han Yinfeng, "Even if you want to break up with me now and leave me in this inn, it's not impossible."
Han Yinfeng was silent for a moment, then laughed with an ambiguous smile.
"I heard that there's a young man who's quite fond of you, but you've never been interested in him. Could it be that he's faking it? Is he actually having the same feelings for him? Do you want to use this as an excuse to leave me and be with him?"
Mu Xi opened her eyes slightly, "I... of course not!" She frowned and looked at Han Yinfeng, asking, "When did you come back?"
Han Yinfeng smiled and said nothing.
Mu Xi curled her lips, feeling that the other party was teasing her.
That's all.
Mu Xi told the truth in a joking way. From her own perspective, she certainly wanted to survive, not to mention that someone was willing to protect her.
But she also knew very well that the other party helped her because of the original owner, and she was not the original owner.
If the other party can let her survive without any difficulty, she is willing to rely on him, but if it requires the other party to pay a great price, she can completely understand Han Yinfeng's desire to give up halfway.
Since she was reborn in the original owner's body, she can accept any ending.
She thought about it a little over the past few days and came to this simple conclusion.
Han Yinfeng was using the name of the original owner's fiancé to protect a soul that actually had nothing to do with him. No one would blame him even if he gave up.
...It's not objective to say that. They still had a little relationship five years ago.
If he wanted to do so, Mu Xi planned to tell him the story of the spirit possession.
Han Yinfeng said, "The road ahead won't be easy for a long time after we leave here, so we need to buy some things in advance and put them in the carriage as a backup."
Mingyu Yingzhang got up soon, and after a simple meal, the four of them went out together.
Han Yinfeng obviously knew what to buy and arranged everything in an orderly manner.
The three of them were martial artists and were stronger than the average man. Mu Xi didn't need to move things by himself. Mu Xi felt like he was a human pendant, serving a decorative purpose.
Suddenly it occurred to her that she could still pay.
Although that was also the money given by Han Yinfeng.
Han Yinfeng refused, "Madam, why don't you have some silver on you? I still have some. You can keep these for yourself."
During the time she and he had been away from Luan County, Mu Xi had been keeping accounts. When she finished shopping and got into the carriage, she simply spoke out.
Han Yinfeng was surprised, his eyes suddenly becoming lonely, "How come my wife can calculate everything so clearly for me?"
Mu Xi waved her hand. "I'm just not used to owing others too much. Now I already owe you a lot. You've paid so much, so at least take some money back."
Han Yinfeng didn't say anything. Mu Xi laughed and said helplessly, "However, I have noted the account, but I can't say when I can return it to you."
Mu Xi thought about it and realized that the worst outcome this time would be to die outside, by someone's sword, or by a hidden weapon, or by poison.
She said, "If I... die, I'll tell you where I left the money, and you can go back and get it when you get the chance."
Han Yinfeng opened his lips slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but the emotion that was about to burst out in his eyes was forcibly suppressed.
He turned away and said coldly, "My lady, stop imagining things." After a pause, he said, "With me here, how could anything happen to you?"
Mu Xi didn't say anything and just looked at him quietly.
After watching for a while, she found that he seemed to be a stubborn person. After she said all these words, he seemed to have no intention of giving up on her and was very determined.
She smiled and said softly, "Birth, aging, sickness and death are common to all human beings. I was afraid at first, but now I've let it go. Even if that day really comes, you shouldn't take it too seriously."
Han Yinfeng looked at her, frowning slightly, "I don't understand..."
Mu Xi asked, "What don't you understand?"
"Ten years ago, my wife barely escaped death from that catastrophe, yet now she doesn't value her own life at all."
Mu Xi took a deep breath. This matter would be difficult to understand if she didn't start from the beginning.
She thought for a moment and said, "I don't like you."
Han Yinfeng froze suddenly, and after a moment's reaction, he felt that her words were even more bizarre. He frowned and looked at her, his anger no longer concealed. He sneered, "Madam, why are you suddenly talking about this?"
Mu Xi anticipated his reaction and she remained surprisingly calm.
"Actually... I also think this arranged marriage is a bit absurd and meaningless. Don't people have any autonomy in their lives? When you were still in your father's womb, your parents told you to marry someone, so you should devote your whole life to that person from then on? Is that really right? I don't like you. Even if you risked your life to save me, I would be grateful to you and remember your kindness forever, but... a relationship between husband and wife is fine for others to see, but I'd rather not do it for myself."
After listening to this, Han Yinfeng's expression suddenly softened a little.
"You really think so?"
"What?" Mu Xi didn't understand the specific meaning of his question.
"A marriage arranged at birth, do you really think that's outrageous? Do you think it's... meaningless?"
Mu Xi suddenly felt a little respect for Han Yinfeng. The fact that he could ask such a question with such a tone and expression proved that he actually still had a certain degree of autonomy.
"Yes." Mu Xi nodded. "Put yourself in my shoes. If I were you, I definitely wouldn't do what you've done. You've already given a lot to me, so I can totally understand you wanting to leave now."
Having said this, there is no need for further explanation, Han Yinfeng will definitely understand.
so……
Mu Xi thought that she had already made her position clear.
If even so, Han Yinfeng is still obsessed with love and feudal ideas, and wants to continue to protect her wholeheartedly and let her live, then she will not be polite.
Han Yinfeng didn't speak for a while, then he seemed to be thinking of something, and the smile on his face was as gentle as ever.
"My lady, you shouldn't think like that. You should think more about yourself."
Mu Xi could understand why he gave up, but she actually couldn't quite understand why he was still so persistent at this time.
He has a family, subordinates, and an organization. I don’t know how many people he has to manage. Is it really okay to be so loyal?
Mu Xi felt a little sympathetic towards his men, currently only the two outside the carriage.
but……
She thought, it's not her fault, she had already made it clear to him to give up.
She silently said sorry in her heart. She didn't want to take advantage of others, but she also really wanted to live.
and……
She has made her words clear, and the other party is still eager to help and protect her, isn't it?
No matter how much conscience she has, she can't be so obsessed with wanting to die.
There was no need to unload the things they bought. After returning to the inn, Mu Xi and Han Yinfeng went in together and planned to check out with the innkeeper.
As soon as I entered the door, I heard Kang Jie's voice.
Mu Xi's forehead twitched. He woke up...
They thought they could leave quietly without having to say goodbye in person, but it seems they missed the best opportunity to leave.
Han Yinfeng raised his eyebrows, moved slightly closer to Mu Xi, and asked, "Is this the man who is pestering my wife?"
Mu Xi pondered for a moment and said, "It's not that he's clingy, he's just a little noisy."
Han Yinfeng smiled without saying anything, his expression somewhat unpredictable.
"Madam Mu, where have you been?"
As soon as Kang Jie approached, he naturally noticed Han Yinfeng standing next to Mu Xi.
Han Yinfeng had a veil on his face, but his features could still be seen slightly.
A beauty with extraordinary temperament.
Kang Jie just thought of this, and then thought disdainfully, so what, there are so many beauties in the world, who can be more interesting than him and win the hearts of women?
Maybe it's just a fancy but useless decoration.
He glanced at her, then looked at Mu Xi, and said hesitantly, "I've been looking for my wife. I want to apologize to her. I was too rude last night..."
"It's okay." Mu Xi didn't know what shocking words he could say, so she quickly raised her hand to stop him. "My dear, you were drunk last night. Didn't your servants tell you? As soon as you passed out, they took you back to your room."
Kang Jie smiled and said, "Thank you for taking care of me, madam. Is this your husband? How about I host you today and invite you and your husband to do me a favor?"
Mu Xi shook her head. "You're welcome. We'll leave right away."
Kang Jie's smile froze on his face. "My lady, you're leaving? So suddenly?"
Mu Xi was about to speak when Han Yinfeng stopped her.
