Xie Yuancheng is the kind of person who will praise me anytime, anywhere. After listening to him praise me for so long, I've learned not to pity the enemy.
"That's right, I'm your only woman. Even if I dress up as a man and play your man, it's still a position that many people can only admire but never reach."
"She really knows how to brag, but I just love Ying'er like that, I adore her!"
I asked him to come closer so that we could both stay warm wrapped in blankets. It was so cold outside, and the ground was icy. It would probably take half an hour to get to the Ji residence.
"Tell me when we get to the manor, or I'll find out your dirty secrets!" I mumbled to Xie Yuancheng in my dazed state, insisting that I must be allowed inside the house at least once!
"Ying'er, you're confused again. We're meeting outside the city, why would we go to the Ji residence?"
"What?!" I woke up immediately, and just as I was about to sit up, Xie Yuancheng picked me up and carried me over. "Explain yourself. Weren't you going to the Ji residence?"
"Of course not. We only meet in places where people are watching. The Ji residence is where we're happiest together. Why would we meet there and ruin our memories?"
"Sigh~ It's all because of those ridiculous rules and suspicions, sigh~"
This is not something Xie Yuancheng can control; otherwise, he would be the emperor. However, I don't want him to be emperor. The harem of beauties cannot be dismissed with just a word; the court officials would be the first to disagree.
“We don’t want to think about these unhappy things anymore. This is good. Going to Linyang will save us a lot of trouble. Don’t worry, once we’re in Linyang, we can do whatever we want without getting too involved with the capital.”
I looked at him and nodded. This was already very good; I wouldn't ask for more. Xie Yuancheng held me in his arms and said a lot to me. I almost laughed out loud. He was so good at praising me.
"I like you so much!" I stared at Xie Yuancheng, wanting him to praise me more. At this moment, it would be best to hear him give me all sorts of compliments.
"Ying'er~ I'll whisper sweet nothings to you for the rest of my life and make you laugh every day. You have to stay by my side and never run away."
"Of course! Where else can you find a man like you who dotes on and loves me so much? And you're so good-looking, both handsome and beautiful. You even wear women's clothes to make me happy."
"Yes, Ying'er was so enthusiastic back then, I liked her even more~" Xie Yuancheng even gave me flirty glances, my eyes widened, and I hugged his neck and kissed him.
I didn't dare look into his eyes; they must have been bulging with laughter. After I kissed him, I lay still in his arms, pretending I didn't know anything. Anyway, he had plenty of opportunities to steal kisses from me.
"My Ying'er, you kissed me yourself just now, so don't blame me for teasing you~"
"He's mine, you can't look at anyone else, he can only be mine!" I'm going to be domineering and make Xie Yuancheng unable to move. Although he could break free, he won't.
"Ying'er~ Of course I'm yours." Xie Yuancheng added a soft pillow for me, and after I got over my mental hurdle, I went to talk to him. We were having a good time when the carriage stopped.
"Why did you stop so quickly? Is the city gate that close?" I tried to get up, but Xie Yuancheng wouldn't let go. Only then did I look at him. "You are a marquis, aren't you going to take a look?"
"It's the Second Prince. He's here to see you again. How annoying!"
"Yes, I don't like him either. Even if we had conflicts in our past lives, they're all long gone. I only want you, and I don't want to see him again."
"A past life?" I almost covered my mouth. Xie Yuancheng didn't know about this. I slowly turned to look at him. "Ying'er, did you know each other in a past life?"
"And what about the three lifetimes of fate you mentioned? Are you planning to push me away and run off with someone else in the fourth life?"
"Stop pretending to be gentle with me. You must know something. Call your kingfisher out to confront me. Don't try to fool me!"
Why is he angry? I'm the one who should be angry! But Xie Yuancheng's eyes were blazing with anger, so I quickly called out the kingfisher, afraid that he was in a bad mood.
"My lord, the Second Prince sent a gift and then left."
"Leave it for now and keep going!"
"Yes!" Couldn't the people outside say a few more words? It was very warm inside the carriage, but Xie Yuancheng was surrounded by a cold wind.
The carriage left again, and I could clearly sense that the Second Prince was nearby. "Little Bird, has he left?" My mind was racing. When Xie Yuancheng was angry, I had better not disobey him.
"Of course they didn't leave. They were just temporarily blinded, and it's all thanks to me. You should all stay together. Why worry about others? If you worry about the Second Prince, you'll be letting down the Marquis."
"Who cares about him? If it weren't for that red outfit, I wouldn't even remember!"
"I told you to tell the Marquis that you only have a three-lifetime connection. This is something that needs to be cultivated. You don't even know that your master is just fooling you. No wonder the Marquis always says that you're not very bright."
I was so embarrassed that I threw myself into Xie Yuancheng's arms. "Yuancheng~ just ask me anything, I'll tell you everything I know." To ease his anger, I hugged him really tightly.
"Let's start with the predestined relationship across three lifetimes. Who told you, where, and where?" That voice was so cold; I felt Xie Yuancheng's body grow cold.
"You were injured back then, and it was the shopkeeper who helped save you." I told Xie Yuancheng about the bottle of pills and what the shopkeeper had told me in the carriage.
The kingfisher laughed from the side, "Master is just afraid that you will bully his disciple too much. He just wants you to cherish what you have now, lest you be seduced by some wild man and the Marquis will cry himself to death."
"What is it saying? If it dares to lie to me, I'll make sure you don't see your father-in-law, mother-in-law, and Yu'er today."
I had to close my eyes completely, so I repeated to him word for word what the kingfisher had said. Xie Yuancheng is such a fickle person; he was just saying I was wrong, and now he's laughing.
"Ying'er~ Master is really so prescient. Luckily I take you with me wherever I go, otherwise the backyard would be on fire."
"No way! Look, the first time we separated, I wasn't like that."
"What do you mean no! You turned around and started flirting with that brat Lu Fengjun. If I hadn't shown up and taken you away, would you have stayed overnight at his mansion?"
This is so old news, why bother looking at it again? The kingfisher is laughing on the side, I'm about to faint.
"That matter is over. The second thing is, how did you two know each other in your past life?" Xie Yuancheng definitely knew something about it; the shopkeeper should have mentioned it!
With my wrist gripped by him, I had no choice but to tell him everything I had said to the kingfisher and everything I remembered. Xie Yuancheng began to ponder, wondering if he was angry or regretting what he had done in his past life.
"Ying'er~ I must not have known you well in my past life. I was born for you in this life. We have an eternal destiny. I want to spoil you and stop thinking about unnecessary things."
