After waiting for a long time, he heard a soft voice in his arms, "What would you do if I said it wasn't you?"
Chu Mubai's eyes darkened slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "Mubai will not let go either. If you dare to run, I will imprison you. If he dares to come, I will kill him. Are you scary?"
"You won't." Xia Yexin looked up and saw the man's surprise, which he couldn't hide in time. She poked his chest with her finger and said, word by word, "You can't bear to see me sad, Chu Mubai, you can't bear to."
She knew him better than he knew himself.
Chu Mubai was first shocked, then sighed with relief, but the warmth that suddenly pressed against his lips turned into a raging storm.
Xia Yixin clung to his shoulders and gently kissed his lips. Her breath filled his nostrils with her comforting, cool fragrance. She saw the man freeze, then smiled and said, "The person I love is you. From beginning to end, it has always been you."
His soul, the core of his being.
Chu Mubai smiled and murmured, "My lady, I have calculated the thoughts of others all my life, but I could never figure out your shrewdness. My lady, I am willing to give my heart to you."
The man's deep eyes were filled with affection.
Xia Yixin couldn't help but smile and murmur, "Holding your hand, I will never let you down in this life."
Her words were cut off by the man's lips as they covered hers.
Once the knot in their hearts was untied and their feelings were expressed, even a simple kiss carried endless sweetness.
Outside, the noise was deafening; one could even hear the sounds of people clinking glasses next door. Yet, at this moment, the two embraced, utterly at peace.
The only sounds were their breathing and heartbeats.
Chu Mubai was naturally dissatisfied, but the time and place were not suitable.
Moreover, doing so would damage her reputation, even though they are a legitimate married couple.
Xia Yixin actually hoped something would happen tonight, but at the same time, she was also afraid that if something really happened, she would be even more reluctant to leave him and make him forget her.
She didn't know if the Heartbreak Pill would work, but she didn't want him to experience the despair of the first plane.
"Is Chu Mubai worth it?"
It's still the same problem.
Chu Mubai didn't know why she suddenly asked that, but looking at the woman in his arms, he said seriously, "It's worth it. You saved me from despair. For my lady, even if I have to go through hell, I am willing."
The same answer as the previous plane.
Xia Yixin's eyes instantly reddened. She wanted to call him an idiot, but she also felt a surge of warmth and wanted to cry.
Her tears startled him.
He gently kissed away her tears, his heart aching and his voice filled with anxiety. "What's wrong?"
"No..." Xia Yixin wiped away her tears, shook her head, buried her head in his chest, and said in a muffled voice, "I just can't bear to leave you."
She was referring to a true farewell, a never-to-be-seen-again, or perhaps if they met again, they would be strangers.
He thought she was referring to the plans for the future, so he patted her back reassuringly and coaxed her, "Don't worry, it will only be a week at most. After you complete the assassination mission, I will come to find you."
Xia Yixin didn't speak, but buried her head in his chest, listening to his steady and powerful heartbeat.
Chu Mubai was still talking about his future plans.
"...After Zi Linglong ascends the throne, shall I take you away? I built a house in a secluded paradise a few years ago. We can live there in seclusion, have children, and if it's a boy, he can study literature and martial arts to protect you. If it's a girl, she can choose whether she likes literature or martial arts. Perhaps we can raise a female champion?"
Xia Yixin was amused by his words, but also noticed the clue in them. She looked up with a questioning look on her face and said, "Oh, it sounds like Lord Chu prefers daughters?"
Chu Mubai was speechless at the question, but he did secretly prefer his daughter, since his son would "steal his woman".
However, it is absolutely unacceptable to admit it at this time.
Lord Chu said in a serious tone, "I love any child you give birth to."
Xia Yixin blushed at his burning gaze and the expectation hidden in his words, and huffed arrogantly, "I haven't even agreed to have your baby yet, hmph."
Chu Mubai looked at her with a smile.
Suddenly, the crackling of firecrackers and the banging of fireworks rang out outside the window.
Zi Linglong used to enjoy having fun, and she had already created things like fireworks.
For a moment, outside the window, the night sky was ablaze with colorful lights, each one dazzling yet fleeting.
Chu Mubai stared wide-eyed at the dazzling woman. Her clear black and white pupils reflected the beautiful scenery outside the window, but in his eyes, there was only her.
"So beautiful..." Xia Yixin couldn't help but exclaim. The fireworks, the starry sky, and the lanterns forming a magnificent light like a giant dragon, along with the bustling voices and laughter of the people, seemed to have completely dispelled the shadow of war.
Chu Mubai smiled and said, "Yes, truly beautiful."
He gently brushed aside the wind-blown hair from her cheek, his eyes full of affection.
The thought that her heart belonged to him and that she would belong to him completely in the future filled his heart with warmth, as if he had finally found peace.
If it weren't for time constraints and other commitments, he would have loved to marry her again tomorrow.
He asked softly, "Mu Bai wants to hold a wedding ceremony for Madam after the war is over before we consummate our marriage. Is that alright?"
Xia Yixin instantly understood what had happened with the matchmaker earlier.
It turns out it was all about their marriage!
This guy is cunning.
But she sensed his appreciation and love, and also knew that this promise might not be kept, so her eyes dimmed slightly.
"Okay." She lowered her eyes, hiding her gloom, and took the initiative to tilt her head up and kiss his lips.
Their lips intertwined, sharing a tender moment, devoid of any lust, but overflowing with love.
Chu Mubai calmed down for a while before leading Xia Yixin away. The festival gradually came to an end, and the moonlight returned the silence to the earth.
Tonight, Chu Mubai naturally refused to sleep alone.
Xia Yixin didn't want to either.
The two lay on the bed. Chu Mubai gazed greedily at the woman in his arms, never tiring of her. Their breaths mingled, their cold fragrance and sweet scent seemingly perfectly matched. He felt an unprecedented sense of peace, as if he had finally found something he had been searching for for a long time.
She closed her eyes, nestled in his arms, listening to his strong heartbeat, and suddenly wished time would slow down, just a little bit more...
Chu Mubai thought he wouldn't fall asleep, but unexpectedly, a dark nightmare suddenly grabbed him and pulled him into a dream.
Meanwhile, Xia Yixin only took out a pill from her storage ring and put it into the man's mouth when his breathing became deep.
Her hand slid across his cheek. Even though his appearance had changed, she knew he was Lu Yan.
As she looked at him, she could no longer hold back, and tears began to fall.
Xia Yixin quietly left before dawn.
The Heartbreak Pill takes three days to take effect.
He will remain asleep for the next three days.
Xia Yixin changed back to Yan Jiu's appearance and lied that Chu Mubai had taken medicine given to him to treat his body and needed to integrate his internal energy. He would not wake up for three days. In any case, it would not be noticeable from his pulse. She could even fool Shen Chen, let alone Leng Zhan and the others.
