Chapter 309 Rescue Began, Finally Met Again

The warm yellow candlelight illuminated the spacious room. By the light, he looked at the person on the bed. Looking at the increasingly thin face, he felt a severe pain in his heart.

He knew that she was too weak to stand the hardships of the journey, but he didn’t expect that after such a short time the pearl in his palm would be thin like that.

Approaching her slowly, he was reluctant to wake her up.

He slowly reached out his hand, carefully touching her cheeks. Her soft cheeks in his memory at the moment were so fleshless that he could feel the bones.

His cold eyes flashed soft light like autumn water, sparkling and warm.

However, Bai Aoxue, who was asleep at this moment, couldn’t see that the person around her was exactly the one she missed day and night.

Jun Yeyan knelt on one knee, held Bai Aoxue’s hand out of the quilt and put it to his lips, gently taking a breath out.

The warm yellow candlelight reflected the bright light on his back, which made him seem more tenacious and trustworthy.

Jun Yeyan softly put Bai Aoxue’s hand into the quilt until her palm was warmed. Watching Bai Aoxue’s slightly bulging belly, Jun Yeyan tentatively stretched out his hand, wanting to touch it, but he flinched.

After several times, his face, which was as handsome as a god, showed some tangles and confusion but more eagerness and excitement as a father.

Finally, he was still unable to resist the temptation in the heart. He carefully placed his palm on Bai Aoxue’s abdomen, lying down sideways with his head propped by an arm, looking at Bai Aoxue’s sleeping face.

Although he had endured so many days of the hardships of a long journey, the fatigue and tiredness seemed to have disappeared at this moment and he was refreshed again.

The warm current across his heart reinvigorated him.

“Baby… I’m your father….” he said softly, caressing Bai Aoxue’s belly eagerly and carefully as if he was a nervous boy.

If someone was around, he would be surprised that Jun Yeyan was like a naive kid, looking so cute and pitiful.

The little baby in Bai Aoxue’s belly seemed to be conscious that when he heard Jun Yeyan’s words, he moved a bit. Jun Yeyan was so surprised that he forgot to move his hands, his thin lips keeping open because of surprise.

After a long time, that handsome and fascinating face finally had a glorious smile.

Holding the quilt for Bai Aoxue, Jun Yeyan leaned down slightly and put a kiss on Bai Aoxue’s forehead.

“Have a good rest, and I’ll pick you up to go home tomorrow.” His hoarse voice was magnetic.

After saying, he disappeared.

The next morning, Bai Aoxue was awakened by a loud noise, and her head was groggy and unconscious.

She felt that someone was by her side last night and guarded her.

But she was certain that the person was not Qi Liange because she would never sleep soundly when someone was around. Even if she was so sleepy at that moment, she would persist to be clear to the end.

But last night she was so easy to let herself fall asleep and there was only one person in the world who could make her like that! Only when that person was around, she would trust him wholeheartedly, giving all her trust.

Thinking of that, Bai Aoxue slightly shocked. Had Jun Yeyan come?

Or did she had the illusion because she was too tired after taking the antidote last night?

At this moment, Bai Aoxue had detoxified the poison, but she still pretended to be weak in order not to be suspected, cleverly avoiding the maidservant to help her.

Now, she couldn’t take a wrong step or say anything wrong.

Putting the doubts aside, Bai Aoxue thought that in any case, she must leave the Nanyue Dynasty today!

“His Majesty arrives!” When thinking, the eunuch’s sharp voice outside the door interrupted Bai Aoxue’s thoughts.

Hearing that Qi Liange was coming, Bai Aoxue’s eyes narrowed slightly and her lips were slightly curled.

She had already guessed that Qi Liange would definitely come again in the morning, and now it seemed that she really did not guess wrong.

Qi Liange was suspicious by nature so he would definitely come here to take a look again before leaving.

Bai Aoxue was dressed by several maidservants. She looked Qi Liange stepping into the house slowly through the bronze mirror but did not speak to him.

Qi Liange looked at Bai Aoxue. Her black hair had already been very long. Now sitting on a soft chair, her black hair can be spread on the ground. If it had not been the maiden’s careful holding, it would have been stained by the dust.

Qi Liange walked slowly, took the comb in the maid’s hand and combed the hair for Bai Aoxue.

“Your hair is so long. Such beautiful hair should be carefully cherished,” Qi Liange sighed as he combed Bai Aoxue’s hair.

“I really want to cut it,” Bai Aoxue looked at Qi Liange in the bronze mirror, slightly saying.

Qi Liange paused combing the hair and asked confusedly, “Why?”

“Because hair can absorb nutrients, but the child in my body needs nutrition right now. If the hair stays so long, it will grab the nutrition of baby,” Bai Aoxue held a strand of hair and said blandly.

When Qi Liange heard Bai Aoxue ‘s words, he paused slightly and then felt relieved, “Yeah, now I’m afraid that in your eyes nothing is more important than the baby.”

Bai Aoxue nodded slightly, saying with a chuckle, “No. The father of the baby is just as important.”

When Qi Liange heard Bai Aoxue’s words, he immediately paused.

“Aoxue… if I trapped you here for a hundred years, would you be flipped for me for a moment?” Qi Liange asked softly when caressing Bai Aoxue’s hair slowly.

His words had a tone of supplication.

Hearing that, Bai Aoxue was touched for a while, but she knew that she must cut the knot as soon as possible!

“No, Qi Liange,” Bai Aoxue slightly opened her red lips and told him the cruel truth.

“Is it because that he met you earlier than me? What if you met me first? Would the outcome be different?” Qi Liange asked with some excitement.

Bai Aoxue looked at Qi Liange’s face reflected through the bronze mirror, asking softly, “Why are you so attached to it? Even if you trapped me, wouldn’t Jun Yeyan come to find me? I need a family, which only can be given by Jun Yeyan. And my child needs a father, who can be no one else but Jun Yeyan. Don’t you understand that it is not a matter of time? I’ve met him and fell in love with him until now. We have experienced life and death together, so how can we easily give up each other?”

Hearing Bai Aoxue’s words, Qi Liange was speechless for a moment.

“You imprison me like this, neither of us will be happy. Aren’t you clear of it than anyone?” Bai Aoxue turned around slowly, looked at Qi Liange and said softly.

She knew what she said was very cruel for Qi Liange, but after all, there was no fairness in love.

She acknowledged that she was selfish from beginning to end. She fell in love with Jun Yeyan and she would do anything possible to occupy Jun Yeyan. The love she wanted was the purest, to live or die with each other.

She and Jun Yeyan were the same, and they both understood their feelings, so they could sacrifice anything for their love!

Qi Liange combed the hair for Bai Aoxue silently, and then he stepped back, looked at Bai Aoxue and said with a smile, “Anyway, I want to stand on the high platform with you, even once it deserves. So, Aoxue, I can’t let you go.”

After saying, he turned around and left quickly.

Only he knew the words remained to be said.

“So, Aoxue… even if I were to be on the high platform with you only once in my life, I would be willing to give it all away.”

He knew that as long as having such an experience, he could spend the declining life alone with memories.

Bai Aoxue turned to look at Qi Liange’s direction of departure. Her mouth moved a bit but said nothing.

It was a rare sunny day in the Nanyue Dynasty which was cold with a trace of warmth.

Those maids still dressed for Bai Aoxue carefully, for whom to fulfill the monarch’s order was the priority.

After Qi Liange left for a long time, Bai Aoxue felt that the time came, so she said blandly, “You all quit. I’m going to change my clothes.”

The maids hesitated for a while, but still retreated for fear of Bai Aoxue’s dignified manner.

After the maids retreated, Bai Aoxue quickly changed the maid’s clothes that she had prepared and waited for Ju Xiao to come.

A little while, as the eaves had a slight sound, Bai Aoxue grasped her fists nervously. Two figures quietly appeared before her.

Looking at the familiar figure in front of her, Bai Aoxue suddenly shed tears. The grievances and missing that were kept for so many days broke out like flooding.

It was said that the mood of pregnant women changed greatly, and now Bai Aoxue felt it.

Looking at Bai Aoxue shedding tears, Jun Yeyan felt painful in the heart as if his heart was stuck by a needle.

He didn’t need many words at all, he just quickly stepped forward and gently held Bai Aoxue in his arms.

“Don’t cry. Xue, don’t cry. I feel heartache when you cry. As long as you cry, I will be anguished and want to kill.” The soft voice sounded pitiful only for Bai Aoxue.

Hearing Jun Yeyan ‘s words, Bai Aoxue struggle to wipe out her tears, saying gently, “I thought you were picking concubines and would leave me here alone.”

Hearing Bai Aoxue’s sour words, Jun Yeyan was filled with happiness in the heart, which was like a pot full of water that was seething and going to overflow.

“How could I choose other women? Since you fell off the cliff last time, I have sworn that I would live or die with you in this life, and no matter where you would go, you can’t leave me alone!”

Looking up at Jun Yeyan’s earnest eyes, Bai Aoxue knew he didn’t lie at all.

“I believe you,” Bai Aoxue nodded and answered Jun Yeyan.

He raised his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of Bai Aoxue’s eyes, watching Bai Aoxue turn her tears into laughter. Jun Yeyan held Bai Aoxue tightly in his arms, laughing like a child happily.

“See, I’m here to pick you up. I’ll take you home right away.” His smiling eyes were curled like crescents that anyone could feel his happiness.

After a while, Jun Yeyan pulled Bai Aoxue away and looked at Bai Aoxue carefully.

“What?” Bai Aoxue looked at Jun Yeyan confusedly and asked.

“I’m checking whether my Xue has been abused by Qi Liange!” Jun Yeyan looked at Bai Aoxue carefully, not letting go of any corner.

Hearing Jun Yeyan’s words, Bai Aoxue grinned. As soon as she wanted to speak, the maidservant outside the door made a voice.

“Is Miss Bai ready? I’m coming in.”
