When she saw the girl on the bed had opened her eyes and was awake, a look of intense joy quickly spread across his handsome face as he exclaimed in surprise.
“Xin'er, you’re finally awake!? Hahaha, that’s wonderful!”
“Xuan!?”
Upon seeing the man sitting by the bed, Xin'er was momentarily stunned. Then, as if recalling something, her small mouth pouted, and with a sudden "wow," she burst into tears.
At that moment, Xin'er cried like a child, her tears flowing like a flood that could not be stopped.
Leng Yixuan looked at her and immediately panicked.
“Xin'er, are you feeling unwell!? Someone call the Imperial Physician, hurry…”
Seeing the girl cry so pitifully, Leng Yixuan had completely lost his usual composure.
After all, in this world, the only one who could tug at his heartstrings like this was this one pitiful girl.
However, just moments ago, Xin'er had been crying sorrowfully. Upon seeing Leng Yixuan's alarmed expression, she suddenly stopped crying and spoke to him.
“Xuan, no, I’m fine…”
“You’re fine? Then why are you crying so sadly!? Don’t lie to me; if you really feel unwell, you must tell me, do you understand!?”
Leng Yixuan furrowed his brow, unable to hide his concern.
Hearing this, Xin'er nodded in response.
"Xuan, I'm just scared..."
Xin'er said, her voice choked with emotion.
After all, having experienced life and death, feeling herself continuously falling into that bottomless pit, the suffocating chill still haunted her whenever she thought back to it.
Her body trembled immediately.
Noticing Xin'er's trembling form, Leng Yixuan's face filled with concern.
He reached out his arms and pulled Xin'er tightly into his embrace, speaking softly.
"Xin'er, don't be afraid. It's all over now; I'm right here with you!"
"Woo, Xuan, I'm really so scared. At that moment, I truly thought I was going to die. I was so afraid I would never see you again."
Held tightly in the man's arms, Xin'er felt even more aggrieved. Tears streamed down her face as she poured out all her fears and grievances.
Seeing Xin'er cry like a rain-soaked pear blossom, Leng Yixuan felt a pang of heartache. His eyes grew warm and red, but he continued to hold Xin'er close, gently comforting her.
"Fool, look at you now; you're perfectly fine! Xin'er, please don't cry. It breaks my heart to see you like this."
As he spoke, Leng Yixuan felt a tightness in his chest, his voice wavering slightly.
Perhaps sensing the emotion in his voice, Xin'er looked up with tear-filled eyes at the man whose eyes were red. She knew that her tears were causing him pain as well.
Thinking of this, Xin'er couldn't help but sniffle, her red nose still wet from crying as she spoke.
"Xuan, I won't cry anymore. You shouldn't be sad either."
Xin'er's voice was soft and sweet, tinged with a noticeable nasal tone that warmed the heart of anyone who heard it.
Leng Yixuan nodded in response.
"Alright, then you shouldn't cry anymore."
"Mm."
Upon hearing this, Xin'er nodded again, not waiting for her to say anything more.
Suddenly, a palace maid walked in, bowing respectfully to Leng Yixuan as she spoke.
"Reporting to Young Master, the Snow Princess from Spirit Heart Palace has learned that Miss Xin'er was startled after falling into the water and has sent a century-old sea cucumber. Furthermore, she has invited Miss Xin'er and Young Master to a light dinner at Spirit Heart Palace tonight to catch up."
Upon hearing the maid's words, Leng Yixuan's elegant brows furrowed slightly, and he replied to the maid without hesitation.
"Send back what the Snow Princess has sent."
Leng Yixuan spoke bluntly. After all, he had been in business for many years and had seen countless people.
This time, the Snow Princess was up to no good, like a weasel wishing a chicken a happy new year.
Thus, Leng Yixuan refused without hesitation.
Upon hearing this, the palace maid was about to retreat when Xin'er suddenly spoke up.
"Wait."
Xin'er exclaimed and then turned to Leng Yixuan, saying, "Xuan, this isn't right! After all, this is the Snow Princess's sincere gesture, and she's still a princess! If we do this, it would be a direct slap in her face. Isn't that inappropriate?"
"Xin'er, you're just too naive. That woman is cunning and treacherous, um..."
Leng Yixuan's words were cut short as Xin'er covered her mouth with one hand.
"Xuan, there are others here. How can you say that? If it gets out..."
Xin'er whispered urgently in Leng Yixuan's ear while covering her mouth.
Hearing this, Leng Yixuan couldn't help but chuckle. She then pulled Xin'er's small hand down and said, "Alright, I won't say anything more. But promise me you won't have much contact with that woman."
Leng Yixuan spoke earnestly.
After all, he had been feeling a sense of unease lately, fearing that the innocent Xin'er might encounter some danger.
Therefore, he had to protect this little woman well.
As for those with ill intentions, he needed to keep them completely away from Xin'er.
Leng Yixuan thought to himself, but when Xin'er heard his words, she furrowed her brows and spoke up.
"I agree with everything else, but this time, the Snow Princess specifically sent such precious herbs and prepared a banquet inviting us. If we don’t go, it would be quite inconsiderate, wouldn’t it? How about this time, we just go? After all, you’ll be there, right?"
Xin'er said with certainty, trusting Leng Yixuan immensely.
Upon hearing this, Leng Yixuan felt quite pleased. He raised an eyebrow and gently brushed his fingers against Xin'er’s delicate nose as he spoke.
"Do you trust me that much?"
"Hehe, in this world, if I don't trust you, who else can I trust?"
Hearing Leng Yixuan's words, Xin'er smiled. In response, Leng Yixuan swiftly planted a kiss on her lips.
Although the kiss was light and had already left before Xin'er could fully process it, it still sweetened her heart…
As the sun finally set in the west, night descended at last.
As the evening breeze gently swept through, the first lights began to glow.
Above the endless dark sky, the bright moon hung high, and countless stars sparkled like beautiful diamonds scattered across the horizon, making the night seem so enchanting.
In contrast to the captivating sky, within the Celestial Origin Palace, the lights were just coming on. Every five steps, a lamp illuminated the surroundings with a warm yellow glow, brightening the palace.
Compared to the grandeur of daytime, the palace at night was filled with corridors and pavilions, adorned with rockeries and flowing water, showcasing a unique charm.
After a whole day of rest, Xin'er was now free of any fatigue.
At this moment, she was being attended to by a Palace Maid and had dressed up beautifully.
Draped in a snow-white palace gown, the hem and collar were embroidered with delicate little flowers. The well-tailored outfit accentuated her graceful figure.
Her long black hair was styled into an elegant bun, adorned with magnolia hairpins that made her look even more charming.
Her lovely face bore no trace of makeup but radiated an innate elegance. Her skin was as fair as snow, resembling a fairy who had accidentally fallen into the mortal realm. Leng Yixuan, freshly bathed, gazed at her with deep admiration.
"Xin'er, you are truly beautiful."
Leng Yixuan spoke from the heart. His gaze towards Xin'er was filled with unmistakable affection.
Upon hearing this, Xin'er's cheeks flushed with shyness. She lowered her head slightly and softly replied to Leng Yixuan, "You look great too!"
Xin'er spoke the truth.
After all, the man before her was exceptionally handsome, a rare sight in the world.
At this moment, he wore a purple Dragon Robe, with a red Gem Belt around his waist and Auspicious Clouds shoes on his feet. This luxurious attire accentuated his noble demeanor, exuding an air of grandeur.
His enchanting face, with features as exquisite as finely carved jade, captivated her every time she looked at him. No matter how many times she gazed upon his striking visage, she found herself deeply mesmerized by his handsome looks.
However, what moved her most was the man's tenderness, which was solely for her...
Thinking of this, Xin'er felt a sweet warmth in her heart. Leng Yixuan noticed her expression soften and then extended his clearly defined hand towards her.
Seeing this, Xin'er was momentarily taken aback but quickly understood his intention. She slowly offered her small hand, allowing him to envelop it gently with his warm grasp.
They then walked out of the Morning Glow Palace together, heading towards the Spirit Heart Palace.
The Spirit Heart Palace was not far from the Morning Glow Palace. Leng Yixuan had initially wanted Xin'er to be carried there in a sedan chair due to concerns for her health, but she had declined.
Having lain down all day, her bones felt stiff, so she wanted to take a walk.
Naturally, Leng Yixuan would not refuse her request. Thus, he held onto Xin'er's small hand tightly as they made their way to the Spirit Heart Palace.
Along the way, they encountered several palace maids and beautiful ladies.
Upon seeing such a handsome man tenderly caring for the delicate Young Lady like precious jade, everyone felt an overwhelming sense of envy.
Xin'er felt a sweet warmth in her heart as she faced the envious and intense gazes of those around her.
After all, she knew how well Xuan treated her.
So, she loved Xuan wholeheartedly.
Because apart from this, she truly didn't know how to express her gratitude for all that he had done for her.
Thinking of this, Xin'er turned her head and looked at the handsome profile of the man beside her, a sweet smile spreading across her lips.
That smile belonged to a woman who was immersed in happiness.
The sweet smile, along with her sparkling eyes, radiated joy, making anyone who saw it unable to resist smiling back.
However, what Xin'er didn't know was that at that very moment, not far from them, a tall and imposing man named Renli stood quietly.
He held a wine jug in one hand, his gaze filled with sorrow as it fixated on the petite figure before him...
