Su Yun sighed; clearly, she neither believed nor disbelieved Ye Xiao's words. The only thing she could do now was to let things take their own course.

"Ye Xiao!" Suddenly Su Yun spoke.

Ye Xiao immediately looked at Su Yun and said, "What's the matter?"

"Did you come here today because my father let you, or did you come alone?" Su Yun looked at Ye Xiao and asked.

Ye Xiao replied, "I sneaked in quietly."

"I knew it!" Su Yun said, "So how many of you came?"

"In Han City, all my brothers have come."

Upon hearing this, Su Yun looked at Ye Xiao seriously and said, "Ye Xiao, do you trust my father's words that much? Aren't you afraid he'll harm you?"

"I've thought about it, but I think your father should understand that if he gets support from Yan Country, the Su family will only grow stronger in the future," Ye Xiao replied.

Su Yun said, "But I no longer trust him as a person."

Ye Xiao suddenly laughed.

Su Yun looked at Ye Xiao and asked, "Why are you laughing?"

"Nothing much, I just think your father is a tragic figure," Ye Xiao said. "In front of you, he's your father, but in the Su family, he's the head of the family and has to think about the family's future. Have you heard of Emperor Xinkun from the Wen Dynasty?"

Su Yun found Ye Xiao's words strange and asked, "What does this have to do with Emperor Xinkun?"

"It's not directly related, but there's a similarity. Emperor Xinkun had a favorite daughter named Lan Qier; Princess Lanqi was his darling. But in that era, if he wanted to be a great ruler, he had to prioritize the country. So, he married his darling daughter to the rebel Dalgo from Manna. In the words of the royal reign, it was called marrying down or a political marriage. Later, Emperor Xinkun personally led a campaign against Eganju and destroyed Dalgo, which caused his most beloved daughter to be heartbroken. But this resulted in nearly all of Manna submitting and led the Wen Dynasty to a peak of prosperity." Ye Xiao looked seriously at Su Yun and continued, "Your father is not Xinkun, and the Huo family is not the Eganju Khanate. But if you marry into the Huo family, the Su family will indeed gain many benefits. From the Su family's interest perspective, marrying Huo Wensong is correct."

Su Yun listened to Ye Xiao's words, her brows furrowing, clearly not understanding what Ye Xiao meant at this moment.

Ye Xiao also realized Su Yun's confusion, so he paused for a moment, then explained again, "From this, you can see that your father—oh, I mean—the head of the Su family doesn't value who you marry, but rather who you marry that can bring prosperity to the Su family. Before, your father could undoubtedly trust the Huo family, trust the Linghuo Sect. But from now on, the situation is different because your father understands that relying on a sect is not as good as relying on a country. Don't hate your father because, for a head of the family, many times they are also helpless. Nobody wants to exchange their own daughter for temporary peace unless forced to do so."

Su Yun looked at Ye Xiao and asked, "Don't you hate my father?"

Ye Xiao sighed lightly and said, "To be honest, I do hate him, but he's your father, and besides, he is also helpless."

Su Yun never expected Ye Xiao to have such an understanding.

Su Yun had imagined many ends for herself, once thinking that if Ye Xiao won, got her, she should definitely persuade Ye Xiao not to become enemies with the Su family.

After all, Ye Xiao is someone who always repays grievances.

However, she never thought Ye Xiao would come to enlighten her.

"Really... didn't expect it!" Su Yun looked at Ye Xiao, her nose slightly sour.

Ye Xiao heard this, smiled lightly, and said, "What's wrong? In your eyes, am I someone who won't spare even my father-in-law?"

Su Yun's tears flowed once more, and then she fell directly into Ye Xiao's arms.

Ye Xiao hugged Su Yun in his embrace with a slight sigh.

However, while Ye Xiao held Su Yun and vowed never to let her be wronged again, Su Yun suddenly raised her head and looked seriously at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao looked at Su Yun at this moment, feeling strange, smiling, and asking, "What's the matter?"

Su Yun suddenly said, "Ye Xiao, I want to become your woman."

"Ah?" Ye Xiao was indeed a bit caught off guard.

Ye Xiao is not a saint, and likewise, he is a very healthy man.

Although he very much wants to have Su Yun entirely, he never thought it would be at this moment.

"You must be joking," Ye Xiao looked at Su Yun, somewhat unbelievingly said.

"No, I am sure, you are the only man in this world worthy of my love," Su Yun looked at Ye Xiao and actually hugged him directly. Ye Xiao is an extraordinary man and also someone who often manipulates the situation; however, at this moment, he was completely stunned.

This guy doesn't know with how many women he's had passionate nights, but they were almost never passive.

Yet, at this moment, Ye Xiao was being passive.

Ye Xiao is not a saint, and by chance, this guy is also not someone who can endure patience, so he didn't struggle and just accepted it.

Until the end!

Ye Xiao was still a bit slow to react!

"You're a true heroine!" Ye Xiao looked at Su Yun in his arms and couldn't help saying.

Su Yun's face was slightly red, resting on Ye Xiao's chest, and said, "Ye Xiao, will you love me all your life?"

"Of course I will, why would you ask such a question?"

Su Yun said, "I'm just asking."

"I will definitely love you all my life," Ye Xiao said with a smile. "Otherwise, I wouldn't risk coming to the Northern Territory. Although there are enemies in the Northern Territory, I could find a place elsewhere to cultivate Inner Strength, and I'd have a better chance."

Su Yun naturally believed Ye Xiao's words, so she continued, "Then if anything happens in the future, will you always trust me?"

"As long as you say it, as long as you do it, I will trust everything," said Ye Xiao.

"Good!" said Su Yun.

Once Su Yun finished this sentence, she suddenly sat up and then dressed properly!

"Ye Xiao, you should go back," Su Yun looked at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao was even more caught off guard this time; he had just been embraced passionately by a fierce woman, yet now suddenly she wanted him to leave? The red blossoms on the sofa were still there, but this girl Su Yun could change her mind as quickly as flipping a book.

Ye Xiao did not say much more.

Because Ye Xiao had just said that no matter what Su Yun said or did, he would unwaveringly believe, clearly, if Su Yun let him go, naturally, he would go.
