Chapter 351: Early spring, your lady is so hungry!
Lan Xiyue snorted lightly, a hint of displeasure revealed between her brows: "Who do you look down on?"
Hearing this, Mo Liyuan's lips curled up into a gentle smile. He hugged Lan Xiyue and let her sit on his lap. His fingers gently brushed the tip of her nose and said lovingly, "This king doesn't look down on Yue'er. It's just that the battlefield is cruel and filled with smoke. Wouldn't it be better for Yue'er to stay in the capital and wait for this king's return?"
At this moment, the system's voice rang out: "Host, you can knock your man unconscious and throw him into the space, then pretend to be your man and lead the troops to quell the rebellion. When you return, kill the dog emperor and ascend the throne yourself. In this way, the host can complete the mission. What do you think of this method that the system has come up with for you? Don't you think it's particularly brilliant?"
Lan Xiyue's eyes suddenly lit up, but when she looked at Mo Liyuan's gentle face again, the hesitation in her heart came to her mind again.
"System, if this man finds out, do you think he will be very angry, or even ignore me?" Lan Xiyue's voice was a little uneasy. Mo Liyuan's temperament was both affectionate and strong-willed. Once he found out that she had deceived him, the consequences would be unpredictable.
The system said disapprovingly, "Host, don't worry so much. Don't you know your man's temper? At most, the host can just coax him a little more. Men are sometimes childish. As long as the host is willing to bow his head, how can he not forgive you?"
Lan Xiyue fell silent after hearing this.
System: "Host, this is the fastest way to complete the mission and avoid the lightning strike penalty. Think about it, if you miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to find such a good opportunity again."
Lan Xiyue's brow furrowed, her fingers gently stroking the corner of her clothes, looking a little uneasy. "System, I'm still a little worried that Mo Liyuan won't be able to accept my hiding this from him after he finds out." Her voice was low and hesitant, clearly her inner struggle still lingering.
The system seemed a little anxious. It persuaded again: "Host, there is still more than half a year left. Besides the idea this system has given you, do you have a better way to complete the task? Or do you plan to tell Mo Liyuan the truth? Do you think he will help you kill the emperor and ascend the throne without any scruples? Host, as a man, if you really can't do it, just find someone else. By then, you will have free points. The world is so big, why worry about not finding a better one? By then, you can host anyone you want."
Mo Liyuan's eyes were gentle and deep. He gently lifted Lan Xiyue's chin and said in a low and magnetic voice, "Yu'er, what are you thinking about?"
Lan Xiyue's eyes were dazed. She spoke slowly, a hint of hesitation in her voice, "Mo Liyuan, if, I say if, I do something big without telling you. What will happen when you find out?"
Mo Liyuan's eyes instantly grew deep, and he stared at Lan Xiyue closely. "Yuer, I hate deception. Whatever you want to do, please don't hide it from me, okay?"
Lan Xiyue's heart skipped a beat. She closed her eyes, snuggled in his arms, her thoughts surging like a tide.
Damn it! It’s not that I’m not tempted by the system’s idea, but this man in front of me… I really like him, Lan Xiyue secretly groaned in her heart.
She didn't want to hurt Mo Liyuan for the so-called mission, but the existence of the system was like a shackle, restricting her freedom and choices. She was worried that one day the evil-hearted system would suddenly change back, and all her points would be gone, and all her efforts would be in vain.
Seeing Lan Xiyue remained silent, Mo Liyuan lowered his head and kissed her forehead. "Yuer, what's wrong? Are you still angry about me making you play the flute all the time today?"
Lan Xiyue opened her eyes and said in a muffled voice, "No, no more."
Mo Liyuan scratched Lan Xiyue's nose, a gentle smile curling up at the corner of his mouth. "You lied. I did overdo it today. I apologize to you, okay? But when I think about how Yue'er and I haven't even played a single song together, and yet she's actually playing harmoniously with someone else, I can't help but feel jealous."
Lan Xiyue snuggled in Mo Liyuan's arms, feeling his body temperature and heartbeat. She remained silent, but her heart was in turmoil.
She seemed to have gotten used to Mo Liyuan's kindness to her, and was afraid that if she really did what the system said, Mo Liyuan would break up with her after knowing it, so habits were really terrible. If she had not fallen in love with this man, she would do what the system said without hesitation just for the mission and points, but now... she couldn't make up her mind for the time being. Anyway, the wedding was still a few days away, so let her think about it.
Mo Liyuan sensed that she was in a bad mood tonight and thought she was still upset about asking her to play music with him non-stop. He patted her back gently until he felt her breathing gradually stabilized. Then he carefully carried her to the bed and carefully covered her with a blanket.
Mo Liyuan sat on the edge of the bed, his eyes unwilling to leave for a long time. After a long time, he sighed helplessly and slowly stood up. His figure gradually lengthened under the pull of the moonlight until it disappeared behind the door.
Shortly after Mo Liyuan left, Lan Xiyue's eyes suddenly opened, with a flash of annoyance in them.
She stood up and rubbed her temples irritably. "Eh!" She sighed softly and lay down weakly again, muttering to herself, "I'm so annoyed..." Mo Liyuan was so good to her, and she had the heart to pretend to be him and ascend the throne. What would people say about him? But, apart from him, who else could ascend the throne so easily?
Time passed quietly, and Lan Xiyue fell into a deep sleep without knowing when.
The next morning, outside the door, Chuxia and Chuchun were talking in low voices. Chuxia looked around the room and muttered, "Strange! Miss usually wakes up at this time, but why isn't she awake today? Miss didn't have dinner last night. Isn't she hungry?"
Chuchun brought hot water, her eyes also full of concern, "Wait a minute, the young lady should be waking up soon."
Lan Xiyue was awakened by a strong feeling of hunger. She rubbed her sleepy eyes, touched her empty stomach, and couldn't help wailing in her heart: "Damn, I'm so hungry!"
She yelled at the door, "Chuchun, your young lady is so hungry!"
Outside the door, Chuxia heard the sound and hurriedly pushed the door open, followed closely by Chuchun, holding a cup of steaming hot water in her hand.
Chu Xia walked quickly to the bedside and said, "Miss, I'll bring you food right away."
Lan Xiyue hummed softly, "Go quickly, I'm starving." After that, she slowly stood up, walked to the shelf, and began to wash up.
After washing up, Lan Xiyue walked to the table and sat down. At this time, Chu Xia walked in with a plate of delicious food in her hand.
She placed the bowls of porridge, small dishes and plates of buns and snacks neatly on the table, all of which were steaming and fragrant.
