"Back then, you spared the lives of Babuba and Mengmeng, presumably because Lu Qiu begged you so much, right?"
She risked her life to protect her child.
Hua Ansu's words stirred up memories deep within Long Yuan's mind.
That woman didn't react at all for days after her husband's death. No matter what he did to her, even if he took his pleasure on her, she remained unmoved. It wasn't until he brought the two children and heard their cries that she reacted. She pleaded desperately for a long time, her tears streaming down her face. She even threatened him with her own life before he stopped strangling those two bastards...
That woman is now his wife.
Long Yuan seemed taken aback, then his eyes darkened. "You're the one who wanted the blue crystal, aren't you?"
It wasn't hard for him to guess that the appearance of Hua Ansu and A Yigu had caused Meng Keluo to act so strangely.
"Mmm."
"If I get you the blue crystal, can you guarantee that the fact that Bai Yi is Lu Qiu will remain a secret forever?"
He didn't even bother with "if".
If Hua Ansu agreed, he was determined to get it for her.
Do you really think she's lacking blue crystals?
Okay, she is lacking.
Do you think these two things are equivalent?
cannot.
In his heart, Bai Yi was more precious than anything else.
"Just tell me what you want."
If the people in the vast interstellar space heard this, especially Meng Keluo, Cassifa, and even the eldest prince, their eyes would pop out of their sockets. Could this really be something Long Yuan said?
Hua Ansu said calmly, "I want—"
"Mother and son reunited."
She clearly and explicitly rejected Long Yuan.
Long Yuan knew that Hua Ansu was determined to disrupt his and Bai Yi's happy life.
Hua Ansu also realized how deep Long Yuan's obsession with Lu Qiu was.
And then there's Lu Qiu's feelings for Long Yuan...
Longyuan returned home.
It was late at night, and unusually, Bai Yi was waiting for him.
Her health hasn't been very good these past few years, especially since she gets migraines at night, so she always goes to bed early.
She sat on the dressing table.
Long Yuan embraced her from behind, looked at her reflection in the mirror, and asked gently, "Why aren't you asleep yet? Does your head hurt today?"
Bai Yi shook her head. It wasn't that she didn't want him to worry, but that she genuinely felt no discomfort today, which was a rare occurrence.
Long Yuan kissed her forehead. "Then get some rest. Have you forgotten you can't stay up late?"
Longyuan removed the jewelry from her head.
A hand landed on his, and the owner of the hand turned around. "A-Yuan, I have something to tell you."
Long Yuan's heart skipped a beat. "...Okay, go ahead."
“A girl came to see me today. She talked to me a lot. Ah Yuan, there’s a girl who looks a lot like me. She’s younger and prettier than me. And there’s a boy… um, he’s very handsome. I feel like they…”
Long Yuan held her hand, and of all the words he heard, he only heard "He's very handsome."
So many years have passed.
After all these years, can she still not forget that man?
No, she forgot, but her instincts didn't.
Even if I lose my memories, my instincts will only ever love Bachi!
"Long Yuan, I could never love you in this lifetime!"
The woman's words from back then still seem to echo in my ears.
Long Yuan's eyes reddened, and amidst Bai Yi's gasp, he carried her to the bed.
He asked her again and again, "Yi'er, do you love me?"
The woman's eyes were pink at the corners, and she said, "Love."
She sensed his fear and hugged him tightly, saying, "A-Yuan, I love you."
That night, the dim moonlight lazily lay over the seemingly endless dense forest, unwilling to descend. The forest was like a thick ink spilled on the earth, pitch black and eerily silent, with occasional calls from unknown creatures, as if warning strangers not to approach.
