Seeing that she was just in a daze, Xuanyuan Che asked her, "Why aren't you angry?" After all, last time, she slapped him and called him a lecher.
Tang Wan lowered her eyes, and crystal tears fell. She bit her lips so hard that blood oozed out of them. Xuanyuan Che couldn't bear to see her torturing herself like this, so he pinched her cheek with one hand: "Why are you crying?"
He wiped the tear marks on her face with his fingertips, and his voice softened unusually: "I won't treat you unfairly."
Tang Wan didn't say anything, just kept crying.
"Don't cry!" he said fiercely.
Tang Wan was so frightened that her body trembled and her sobbing stopped. She pursed her lips and looked at him with red eyes. Xuanyuan Che felt a little guilty when he saw her like that. He wiped her soft and fair little face with his rough fingertips, wiping away all the traces of tears.
Tang Wan's face was scratched by his fingertips, and it hurt so much that she looked at him with resentment. After all, she was not a clay figure. Even clay figures would have some temper, not to mention that she was a flesh-and-blood person. After all, who would like a hollow beauty?
Seeing her like this, Xuanyuan Che felt much better. This is how it should be. Otherwise, he would feel really uncomfortable seeing her rigid and obedient appearance every day.
"Whatever reward you want, I will grant it to you."
Xuanyuan Che was a bit arrogant. He didn't want to reward her, but he had great hope in his heart. She asked for a title, but Tang Wan just shook her head: "This servant has no other request."
Xuanyuan Che secretly sighed in his heart that she was not ambitious enough, but at the same time he felt that she was particularly different. Perhaps, she really loved me, so she did not ask for a formal status.
It's okay, he will make her beg him to give her a legitimate status.
………
Xuanyuan Che listened to Xunyi's report, his eyes filled with confusion, and his handsome eyebrows were tightly knitted together: "You mean, she cried after she went back?"
Xun Yi clasped his fists and half-knelt: "That's right, Miss Tang seems very sad."
"Do you know why she's sad?"
Xunyi: “…………” I’m not the worm in your stomachs, okay?
Of course he didn't dare to say this out loud, so he could only answer honestly: "I don't know."
Xuanyuan Che's lips curled up into a smile, looking quite complacent: "Because she likes me and can't leave me, but I didn't take the initiative to offer her a legitimate status, so she was heartbroken."
"Yes, is that so?" Xunyi was confused and itchy, as if he was going to grow a brain.
Xuanyuan Che glanced at him calmly: "Of course it's true. She has deep feelings for me and can't lie."
Xun Yi flattered without thinking: "Your Majesty is such a wise and powerful man, with a handsome appearance. Miss Tang absolutely loves Your Majesty, but she is introverted and inferior, so she dare not speak out."
Xuanyuan Che's eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously. It was obvious that Xun Yi's flattery was very effective. "Alright, go to the Dark Guard Camp to reward yourself. Go down and keep watching."
"Yes." After Xun and his group finished their ceremony, they happily prepared to receive their reward.
"If there is anything, tell me immediately."
"I will definitely live up to your Majesty's trust."
…………
"Host!! Oh my god, you are so amazing."
"It's okay, but it's too tiring to tug at Xuanyuan Che. And every time, I have to kneel down. I'm really worried that I'll get cold legs when I get old."
Under Xiaobai's influence, Tang Wan has gradually become more cheerful and would make jokes from time to time.
Xiaobai was naturally happy to see this. He wagged his big fluffy tail and said, "Don't worry, host. I'm here. Nothing will go wrong."
Tang Wan was so adorable at its stinky fart that she caught it and beat it up. As expected, no matter where humans are, their cat-loving nature will be exposed.
Xiaobai meowed a few times, and when he couldn't resist, he just lay down and let himself be touched. Forget it, as long as his host was happy.
When Tang Wan finally stopped her evil hands, Xiao Bai asked her: "Host, why don't you want any rewards? And why did you cry when you came back? I thought you were really sad..."
Tang Wan stroked its ears and said slowly, "You know, he's inherently suspicious, and his personality is unpredictable. The dream had already made him suspicious. It was all thanks to Yu'er and Ze'er that he thought it was just a coincidence and that I might be the destined one."
"But I absolutely cannot reveal my ambitions. If I had said in the hall that I wanted to be a concubine, he would have become suspicious of me. All our efforts would have been wasted. He would have suspected that someone was manipulating everything behind the scenes. I might even have died, let alone been able to continue my mission."
"Oh, it's so serious." Xiaobai showed his little tongue, licked her fingers, leaned on her wrist and acted coquettishly, his eyes full of worry.
Tang Wan scratched its nose and said, "Yeah, there's a saying that goes, 'Serving the king is like serving a tiger.' How could we two little kittens possibly defeat that ferocious tiger? Ahem."
Xiaobai shrank back, and the hair on his tail exploded in circles: "Meow!!"
"Hahahahahahahahaha, Xiaobai, you are too timid."
"Hmph, I don't want to pay any attention to you." Xiaobai wagged his big tail and turned his back.
"Be good, be good." Seeing that it was really angry, Tang Wan began to coax it patiently. Ever since she knew that Xiaobai's mental faculties were only equivalent to those of a five or six-year-old child, she treated Xiaobai as a child. After all, she was in her thirties when she died, so the age was consistent. If her child was born, it would probably be this big too.
As she thought about it, she couldn't help feeling sad. Her own baby left before he even saw this world. How could she let it go?
Xiaobai noticed that she was in a bad mood and asked, "Host, you haven't told me why you are crying."
"Do you still remember my fiancé who was engaged outside the palace?"
Xiaobai looked at her angrily. Tang Wan immediately understood what it was thinking. She chuckled, "Don't look at me like that. I won't go back to you. Besides, I wish that kind of person would go to hell."
"What do you mean?"
"Tell me, what if Xuanyuan Che knew that the woman who was deeply in love with him actually didn't like him at all, but was determined to leave the palace and marry her fiancé?"
Xiaobai was stunned, and it took him a long time to find his voice: "Given his temper, he'll be furious."
"Yes, and sometimes men are really mean. The more they can't get something, the more they want it." She looked into the distance, supporting her chin with her hand.
"When he finds out I have a lover, he'll definitely investigate. If he finds out my sister replaced me and married into their family, will he have pity on such a poor, weak woman? Besides, this weak woman still occupies a certain place in his heart."
"Host, I don't want to play with you anymore." Xiaobai was dejected, with his tail drooping.
Tang Wan was shocked: "Why?"
"I'm so stupid. If you ever sell me out, I might even count the money for you."
When Tang Wan heard this, she burst into laughter.
