Upon hearing this, Ye Mohan loosened his grip, and his expression gradually revealed joy and happiness.
In her mind, her status had been elevated, which was a good start!
Upon hearing Jian Yixue's words, Youju pouted, her expression somewhat conflicted.
Seeing this, Youluo spoke up, "Alright, then we'll head back first; it's getting late."
Jane nodded.
Afterwards, Youluo and the others got into the car Lin Yi had driven and left.
After watching Youluo and the others leave, Jian Yixue looked up at Ye Mohan beside her and asked, "Where do we go next?"
"Let's go back to the castle and take you to see the back mountain."
After listening, Jian Yixue was somewhat confused.
Although she lived in the castle for six years in her previous life, she never went to the back mountain.
Hearing Ye Mohan say this, she was also curious about what was special about the back mountain, and nodded to Ye Mohan.
Ye Mohan pulled her to the passenger side of the Bentley, opened the door, and helped her into the car while holding onto the door frame.
He thoughtfully fastened her seatbelt, and as he passed her alluring lips, he couldn't resist stealing a kiss before getting up and leaving.
Upon seeing this, Jian Yixue blushed, but she was overjoyed.
Then her gaze was fixed on Ye Mohan, whose tall and handsome figure passed by the car, making her even more enamored with him.
Ye Mohan sat in the driver's seat and glanced at Jian Yixue.
"They've left?"
Jian Yixue nodded, and then Ye Mohan started the car and left Xiangyue Building.
——
Castle, Back Hill
Looking at the fireflies flying everywhere across the mountains and fields, they shone like countless stars in the sky.
Jian Yixue's eyes lit up; her beautiful, charming peach blossom eyes were filled with surprise and joy.
In her past life, she had never seen such a beautiful scene, and she never knew that fireflies under the night sky could be so beautiful.
Jian Yixue couldn't wait to open the car door and walk onto the lawn to watch the fireflies flying low. The more she looked at them, the more she liked them, and she couldn't help but reach out to touch them.
Looking at Jian Yixue's childlike side, Ye Mohan, who was in the car behind her, smiled slightly and got out of the car to walk towards her.
Before long, a lost firefly unexpectedly landed on Jane Yixue's fingertip.
Jian Yixue had seen it before and was pleasantly surprised; the fireflies were reflected in her beautiful dark eyes.
She couldn't wait to turn around and share this unexpected joy with Ye Mohan.
"Mo Han, look! The fireflies are so pretty on my hand, aren't they!"
Ye Mohan, who had just walked up to Jian Yixue's side, heard Jian Yixue's words and looked in the direction she was looking.
Then she saw a firefly emitting a faint light, which landed fearlessly on Jian Yixue's fingertip.
Ye Mohan turned to look at Jian Yixue and nodded with a gentle gaze.
"Yes, I see it. It's beautiful!"
Upon hearing this, Jian Yixue nodded in agreement without giving it much thought.
"Mmm, this place is really beautiful. How come I never knew this before? I wasted such a wonderful place."
"Mo Han, don't you think it would be a great place for us to have a picnic in the future?"
After Jian Yixue finished speaking, she looked at Ye Mohan with a questioning gaze, waiting for his reply.
Ye Mohan's tender and affectionate eyes were fixed on Jian Yixue as she spoke, taking in all her movements.
A gentle, indulgent smile graced his face.
Their eyes met, and Jian Yixue suddenly realized the flaw in her words.
Seeing that Ye Mohan didn't speak, fearing that he might overthink things, she quickly explained.
"I mean, we've been married for so long and I only just found out there's such a nice place behind the castle. Why didn't you bring me here sooner?"
His tone was slightly reproachful.
Ye Mohan smiled slightly upon hearing this, "It's my fault. I'll bring you here more often in the future."
Seeing this, Jian Yixue secretly breathed a sigh of relief and nodded in agreement.
After playing for a while, Jian Yixue got a little tired and found a flat, shallow lawn to sit down.
He turned and waved to Ye Mohan, signaling him to come and sit down as well.
Ye Mohan glanced at the lawn, then sat down, reaching out to pull Jian Yixue into his arms, resting her head on his lap. "Rest for a while."
Jian Yixue did not refuse and lay comfortably on Ye Mohan's lap, watching the fireflies in the night and the full moon hanging high in the sky, as if the stars were guarding her.
"The moon is so round. It's been so long since I've had a proper chance to admire it."
Upon hearing this, Ye Mohan looked up at the moon hanging obliquely in the sky, "It's very round, symbolizing our reunion."
Jian Yixue nodded upon hearing this.
Ye Mohan withdrew his gaze and looked at Jian Yixue lying on his lap. Under the moonlight, he reached out and smoothed her messy hair.
Jian Yixue looked up at Ye Mohan above, completely mesmerized.
Jian Yixue recalled that when Ye Mohan met You Luo and the other two, he did not show any doubt or confusion, nor did he ask her anything.
After thinking for a moment, she tentatively asked, "Don't you have anything you want to ask me?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Mohan stopped what he was doing and looked at Jian Yixue with a puzzled expression.
His eyes questioned, while his mind searched for answers.
Seeing this, Jian Yixue realized that Ye Mohan hadn't understood what she was saying, and explained, "Youluo and the others..."
As soon as Jian Yixue finished speaking, Ye Mohan understood her meaning.
A smile involuntarily crept onto his lips as his long, slender hand continued to caress Jian Yixue's soft hair, a faint smile playing on his lips.
“I believe you. If you want to tell me, I will listen attentively. If you don’t want to, I will not pry into your privacy. I also believe that one day you will tell me yourself.”
After listening, Jian Yixue was stunned. She really didn't expect Ye Mohan to be so indulgent towards her.
He never doubted her motives and chose to believe her without hesitation, even though she hadn't told him anything.
Even Zhao Heng, whom Ye Mohan met in her previous life, with his sweet words, never gave her even a tenth of his trust.
She increasingly felt that she must have been blinded by greed in her past life.
She looked at Ye Mohan with a hint of guilt in her eyes.
Ye Mohan naturally saw the guilt in Jian Yixue's eyes. He was a little confused, but he didn't ask any questions. He simply reached out and held Jian Yixue's hand.
Jian Yixue felt the warmth from her palm, which strengthened her resolve.
Now was a good time. Looking up at Ye Mohan, she said earnestly, "Mohan, let me tell you about my past."
Upon hearing this, Ye Mohan was somewhat surprised. He had read some of Jian Yixue's information and knew that she had a very unfortunate childhood.
After all, no one wants to reopen a wound that has finally healed.
He was delighted to hear that Jian Yixue was willing to open her heart to him, which meant that he had become hers.
But I also felt sorry for her; I knew how helpless she must have felt back then.
Ye Mohan's expression remained unchanged, but his deep voice, tinged with a hint of tenderness, rang out.
"Okay, go ahead and I'm listening."
