"Ying'er, you're finally awake. You have no idea how worried I was. It's already broad daylight. We're leaving tomorrow. We can't sleep like this tomorrow morning, or Yu'er will be unhappy."
"I'll take you somewhere tonight, and we'll explore the capital properly. I'll bring you back next year."
"By the way, the exiled princess who was bothering us yesterday has been betrothed to a minister. I heard that the minister dislikes her very much, but he doesn't dare to defy imperial authority."
"Also, let me give you a good massage. From now on, we won't talk to the Second Prince anymore. He's just a person who doesn't know his place."
I had just woken up to Xie Yuancheng's arguing. I rested my head against the headboard, glancing at him every now and then. What kind of person was I in my past life? How much does Xie Yuancheng know? If I asked, I wonder if he would lie to me.
"Ying'er~ Look at me." Xie Yuancheng had a fawning expression on his face. I stepped back as soon as he came closer, and fear appeared between his brows. "We are husband and wife, and we have been married for four years. You are not allowed to abandon me."
I turned around with my eyes closed, intending to tease him and maybe get some information out of him. Xie Yuancheng reached out, but I slapped his hand away. Before I could even open my eyes, he pulled me into a tight embrace.
"Ying'er, say something. I... I won't take you to those strange places anymore."
Xie Yuancheng lay against me, his fingertips holding my hand tightly. I smelled his familiar scent. The grudges of the previous life were long gone. If it weren't for the Second Prince's scheme, how would I know about these things?
"I'm hungry, I want to eat!" I hugged Xie Yuancheng back. He was exceptionally good to me, better than anyone else. Sometimes he could be a little mean, but he never did anything bad to me.
"Yuancheng, do you remember anything from your past life?" I asked as I turned to look at him as he was about to get out of bed.
"I don't remember! So what if I do remember? Do you expect me to go back to my past life? There's no such thing as a free lunch!"
"But aren't you curious about who you were in your past life? What were you like?" I pushed back the covers and got up, determined to get some information out of Xie Yuancheng.
“Ying’er~ We must have been husband and wife in our past life, and in this life, the next life, and every life to come, we will be husband and wife. Humph! I don’t care about destiny. Master said that we are bound together for all eternity.”
“He also told me that we were enemies before, not husband and wife. Moreover, we only have a three-life bond.”
"No matter how many lifetimes we go through, I will always be with you. If we are ever to be separated, I will perish with you. We will be buried together, and we will disappear together. Wherever you go, I will follow."
"Stop using those cheesy words, they make me feel sick first thing in the morning!"
"Where does it hurt? Let me rub it for you, it will definitely make you feel better." Xie Yuancheng tried to come closer, but I quickly used a pillow to block him. "Come here, you always bully me, this time I won't let you get up."
"No way! You clearly know some things, why didn't you tell me?"
"Why do you know so much? With such petty cleverness, you always get tricked by me. Who knows what will happen if you go out? It's better for you to stay with me. The Second Prince is just a little confused, don't pay him any mind."
The Second Prince's mansion has dozens of beautiful concubines, and each has a principal wife. Don't go with him. Look, in our mansion, it's just the two of us and three children. Whether it's the joy of family life or our marital relationship, Ying'er has never been disappointed."
I was so angry I wanted to bury my face in the blanket. Arguing with him would be stupid. "Okay, go get me some water. I want you to bring it in yourself. And make me breakfast. You have to cook it yourself!"
"In my past life, I've just let go of you. I'll definitely make Xie Yuancheng suffer a lot." I smiled as I looked at him, thinking he would refuse. He nodded and went to get me some water.
"I'll do it myself. It's already bad enough that you're carrying the water." I was still very reluctant. Why should I make my husband do things for me? All the grudges from our past lives have long been forgotten.
"Ying'er, you said you wanted me to wash you up myself, but I don't care, I'm going to do it myself." Xie Yuancheng wiped my face, and I closed my eyes to avoid looking at him. All the things for cleaning my teeth were prepared; he always brings them with him wherever we go.
"Let's go to the kitchen, I want to make something!"
"What is it? I'll make it for you. Ying'er, don't go into the kitchen. If you burn down the Ninth Prince's kitchen, I'll talk bad about you if I dream about my parents."
"I'm not that bad. I just want to go. If you won't let me go, it means you don't like me anymore. Sigh, when you married me, you said such nice things, saying that you would put me first in everything."
"Ying'er~ I promise you, I won't move around." He spoils me too much, he'll grant even the most outrageous requests. I clung to his shoulders and wouldn't let go, I just stuck with him, that's why I like someone else.
"Yuancheng~ I like you so much~ I don't want anyone else." I was just about to prop myself up a little when he leaned in and kissed me, "You're going to bite me again."
"I'm going to bite you. Don't scare me next time. You have no idea how worried I was this morning." It's rare to see Xie Yuancheng worry. He must know something. I quickly went to ask him.
"What's there to worry about? If I were to rekindle our past relationship, who knows?"
"How dare you! We were lovers in our past life. I... I made a mistake, but I've been too good to Ying'er in this life. If you abandon me, the children will cry themselves to death. I even committed suicide for you. The night before I died, we promised each other that we would be together in the next life."
"How would I know if you made it up or not? I think you definitely made it up." I cleared my throat deliberately as I spoke. "The more I think about it, the more curious I get. I'd better go ask the Second Prince. He must know the answer."
"No!" Xie Yuancheng put me down on the ground and hugged me in his arms. I felt like my back was about to break. "What's there to ask? I won't let you go. If you want to know something, I'll go ask Master. He'll definitely know."
"Hehe~" I laughed and pinched his arm. "Just kidding. You don't know anything at all, and you still have the nerve to call yourself a knowledgeable marquis? There are some things you don't know~"
"Ying'er~" Xie Yuancheng spun me around in the snow, my skirt was flying, and I was so dizzy that Xie Yuancheng could hardly stand. "Look, we're just human, how could we know everything?"
"Okay, you don't need to prove it too clearly, I'm so dizzy." I saw Xie Yuancheng rubbing his head in discomfort, still feeling dizzy, so I picked him up and carried him away, and the two of us almost bumped into a tree.
"How was it? A bowl of noodles for breakfast is pretty good, isn't it?" Xie Yuancheng boasted to me again. This breakfast was alright; although it was simple, it tasted quite good.
"It's delicious, but a bit too plain. If you added some beef broth or pork bone broth, it would be even more delicious."
