Hearing Yun Bixue’s words, Xie Limo tightened his embrace around her.

Yun Bixue gently pushed Xie Limo away. “I’m not talking about myself. Don’t think too deep into it.”

Xie Limo lowered his head to peck Yun Bixue’s forehead before asking gently, “Before you met me, did you have moments where you couldn’t go on anymore and contemplated silly things as well?”

Yun Bixue paused before widening her eyes at Xie Limo. She lowered her head and bit her lips silently.

She couldn’t lie to him. Thinking about her past, there were times when she entertained those silly ideas, but she was glad that she overcame it.

She realized afterwards that no matter how painful things were, one has to face it with determination and try your best at life. When you walk out from that time and look back, you will realize that the past was nothing but a mist, and by then, you would have already been surrounded by happiness.

When she came to this realization, she hoped that Bai Yaoyao could also walk out of the shadows to welcome a better life. Every time her best friend revealed an unhappy expression, she would worry.

Yun Bixue’s silence was enough of an answer for Xie Limo. He knew that she had once thought about ending her life when she was at her lowest. He also thought of the words Bai Yaoyao said before she left, causing his heart to ache further.

He did not understand women. Xue’s thoughts were something he did not completely understand either.

He would work hard to become a good husband for Xue. He felt that what he had done in the past for her was still far from enough.

After a long while of silence, Yun Bixue recovered from her trance and smiled at Xie Limo. Hooking her arms around his neck, she kissed him and lightly bit his lip. “Those are all things from the past. Let’s not talk about it, okay? I’ve been very happy ever since I met you.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Xie Limo felt a sting from the nibble, but he was happy. He leaned his forehead on Yun Bixue’s and locked their gazes. “Okay, as long as you’re happy. You must be hungry after napping the afternoon away. What do you want to eat for dinner?”

Yun Bixue caressed her stomach. “I’m not hungry yet.”

Xie Limo placed his hand above Yun Bixue’s and said gently, “You might not be hungry, but he might be.”

Yun Bixue knew that Xie Limo was referring to the child, so she smiled and said, “Alright then. I’ll eat whatever you think is good!”

Xie Limo’s change of topic went unnoticed. It allowed Yun Bixue to stop worrying about Bai Yaoyao.

After that, the two of them spent the next few days together happily, and soon, the Lantern Festival came.

In the evening, Xie Limo took Yun Bixue out to look at the lanterns. He arranged for around a hundred guards to protect her.

Xie Limo’s order was to prioritize Young Madam’s safety above all. No matter what the danger was, they were to protect Young Madam first.

In other words, they were to ignore him and prioritize Yun Bixue if such a danger occurs.

Actually, Xie Limo did not want to take Bixue out since he felt that being in a crowd was unsafe. However, staying cooped up at home all day was bad for her as well, so he promised to take her out for a walk.

The festival was bustling with activities, and Yun Bixue revealed a radiant smile throughout the entire night. When she was walking to a pavilion, a kid almost knocked into her.

Xie Limo carried this five to six-year-old child up with a single hand. “Which family’s child are you? Why are you running around carelessly?”

Yun Bixue saw the tear stains on the child’s face, so she asked softly, “What’s your name? Why are you crying?”
