Mu Yan glanced at him and instructed, "Take good care of Wu’an City. If the pirates co again, I don’t want Lan’er to take risks."
Bai Chen held his head with both hands, muttering internally: Brother, you really don’t know the hunger of a starved man when you’re full.
He declared confidently, "The pirates can’t possibly co again. With such a small place, where would they get enough troops to co again? If they do co again, they won’t return!"
Zhan Lan laughed and said, "In that case, since the pirates won’t co again, let Li Sui go ho and get married!"
"Sister-in-law, you can’t be serious! Liu Xi has waited for for three years!" Bai Chen said, feeling aggrieved, then curiously asked, "Does Li Sui have soone he fancies?"
Zhan Lan raised an eyebrow, "Precisely because he doesn’t, he should hurry back!"
Bai Chen stood there, defeated like a losing rooster, his spirits dampened.
Zhan Lan and Mu Yan exchanged glances and smiled knowingly.
Bai Chen suddenly realized, these two were just teasing him!
"You’re ssing with , aren’t you..."
Zhan Lan and Mu Yan ignored him and left the military camp.
Afterwards, Bai Chen looked up at the starry sky and sighed, it seed Liu Xi would have to keep waiting.
As he was about to turn around, suddenly his hand softened, and Bai Chen instinctively wanted to throw whoever it was over his shoulder.
But the sensation was too soft, there were no won in the camp, and it couldn’t be an assassin. He turned around abruptly, his eyes filled with surprise.
Because Liu Xi was looking at him.
Bai Chen’s heart started to race slowly, three years, he finally saw Liu Xi.
He embraced Liu Xi, who could hear his strong heartbeat, and Bai Chen whispered in her ear, "In the past three years, whenever I had a mont to spare, you would enter my dreams."
Liu Xi’s brows and eyes were gentle, her hand lightly resting on his back, "The sa for ."
Bai Chen was overjoyed by her words. He suddenly rembered he had been so busy lately he hadn’t even shaved, and embarrassedly asked Liu Xi, "When did you arrive?"
Liu Xi’s eyes were deep, and she looked at Bai Chen with tears in her eyes, making Bai Chen panic imdiately.
"What’s wrong? Don’t cry."
Liu Xi smiled and said, "I’m just happy you’re still alive."
"I won’t die, don’t worry!"
Liu Xi lowered her gaze, "I was afraid I wouldn’t see you again, so I begged Her Majesty the Empress to bring here."
Bai Chen felt a wave of emotion in his heart. Liu Xi was a reserved person, for her to actively co looking for him was such a rare and precious thing.
"It’s cold out here, let’s go to my place and talk slowly." Bai Chen clasped Liu Xi’s hand and returned to his tent.
Inside the tent, Bai Chen held Liu Xi tightly in his arms, planting a kiss on her forehead.
"Liu Xi, His Majesty and Her Majesty the Empress will surely approve of our marriage. I will find a way to get them to grant us marriage."
Liu Xi was held so tightly she found it hard to breathe, Bai Chen released her with an apologetic smile, "Sorry, I was too excited, you have no idea how much I’ve missed you."
Suddenly, he felt a softness on his cheek, Liu Xi had stood on tiptoe to kiss his cheek.
Bai Chen was stunned, Liu Xi had kissed him proactively.
Liu Xi’s cheeks turned crimson, her eyes sparkling as she dared not et Bai Chen’s ardent gaze.
Bai Chen’s heart beat wildly, and suddenly he felt a lightness beneath his feet as Bai Chen carried Liu Xi to the bed, gently placing her onto it.
Bai Chen’s kiss was passionate and wild, and after a mont, he released the dazed Liu Xi, breathing heavily.
Bai Chen restrained the beast within himself with great effort. He got up from the bed, "Liu Xi, wait for ."
Liu Xi got up from the bed and tidied her ssy clothes, watching Bai Chen as he walked out of the tent.
The cold wind woke Bai Chen up completely.
He heard Liu Xi’s voice from inside, "Bai Chen, after tonight, I will leave."
Bai Chen’s heart was in turmoil, he couldn’t take Liu Xi’s body like this.
They didn’t have a marriage agreent yet.
After calming his breath, he went inside and saw Liu Xi still sitting by the bed.
He didn’t dare to et Liu Xi’s gaze, lowered his eyes and said, "I’ll take you to the hostel."
Not far from the military camp was a hostel where His Majesty and Her Majesty the Empress would stay when they ca to inspect the camp previously.
Liu Xi looked directly into his eyes, asking once more, "Are you sure you don’t want to stay tonight?"
This sentence seed to cast a spell on Bai Chen, and he hurried to Liu Xi’s side, his eyes blazing, and held Liu Xi’s shoulders, his voice hoarse, "I want to, want to go crazy."
Liu Xi’s face blushed under his intense gaze. She asked, "Then why not let stay?"
Bai Chen’s mind was a ss. In the candlelight, he looked into Liu Xi’s gentle eyes, her slightly disheveled clothes revealing her fair shoulder, and the usually reserved and calm Liu Xi appeared more alluring in that mont.
Bai Chen’s chest heaved up and down, he wanted Liu Xi to stay.
Really wanted to.
But he couldn’t.
Bai Chen pinched his own thigh and said with difficulty, "I don’t want to take you rashly here, I want to marry you properly into my ho. Let’s save that for our wedding night, alright."
He wondered if Liu Xi would be disappointed by his words, after all, he could see that Liu Xi wanted to stay.
Suddenly, Liu Xi buried her face in the quilt and laughed, this was all a test for Bai Chen.
Bai Chen was surprised, "Why are you laughing, I... I... I’m not avoiding you tonight because I’m incapable, ah..."
Liu Xi curbed her laughter and scolded, "Nonsense."
Then, she took out an item from under the quilt.
Bai Chen took the bright yellow imperial decree and opened it, his eyes gradually brightening.
He looked at Liu Xi, his voice rising, "So, Brother and Sister-in-law have already granted us marriage!"
Liu Xi smiled, "So, now we’re official."
Bai Chen lightly flicked Liu Xi’s forehead with a laugh, "Oh, so you were all teasing together!"
The two of them imdiately started playfully tussling, and after a mont, Bai Chen held her in his arms, kissing her hair, "Let’s go, I’ll take you to the hostel."
"Okay." Liu Xi smiled, getting up from the bed. Bai Chen used his fingers to straighten her slightly disheveled hair, and together they left the military camp.
...
In the hostel, after Zhan Lan had fallen asleep, Mu Yan listened to the Hidden Guard recount the grievances Zhan Lan had endured for the sake of this plan.
During these past days of their covert actions, rumors had spread among the people, things which were unplanned by them.
Mu Yan’s eyes grew colder bit by bit.
Although he and Zhan Lan were putting on a play to resist the pirates, making people think he had disappeared, rumors about Zhan Lan wanting to kill her husband and beco a female emperor were not spread by him.
Who exactly doesn’t want his Lan’er to have a good life? That person should not expect to have a good ti either!
Even though Zhan Lan was broad-minded and didn’t care, he couldn’t bear it!
