As Qi Haoran closed his eyes and kissed her, a hot tear landed on Mu Yangling’s face. Only then did Mu Yangling realize that his eyes were also wet with tears.

Mu Yangling’s heart ached as she touched his face and hugged his neck. Qi Haoran could not help but get stirred. He lowered his head and kissed her lips…

When Mu Yangling woke up, the sky was already bright outside. She sat under the blanket and laughed at herself. She was too anxious yesterday. It seemed that Jinhua had indeed gotten to her, although she was very confident at that time.

When Qi Haoran saw her at the door, he hesitated for a moment before turning around to bring her a bowl of porridge. Mu Yangling shook her head slightly. “I haven’t rinsed my mouth yet. I’m not eating.”

Mu Yangling grabbed his hand and said, “Come up. Let’s talk.”

Qi Haoran immediately took off his shoes and climbed onto bed. As he tentatively hugged his wife, Mu Yangling found a comfortable position in his arms and lay down. The two of them leaned closely against each other.

Qi Haoran hugged her and turned over. Lying on his side, he looked at his wife and said in a low voice, “Ah Ling, it was my fault yesterday. I was angry when I heard you so easily speak of separating from me. That’s why I spoke without thinking.”

Mu Yangling also turned to face him and asked in a low voice, “Haoran, tell me honestly, did you have lustful thoughts about another woman?” Seeing his hesitation, she hurriedly said, “Tell me honestly. No matter what, I won’t blame you.”

“You won’t settle scores with me in the future either?”

Mu Yangling nodded. “I won’t. Let’s have an honest talk. Once we get out of this bed, we won’t harp on the things said.”

Qi Haoran looked at Mu Yangling seriously, as if assessing if she was telling the truth. After a while, he said, “I haven’t had lustful thoughts towards other women. It’s just that when everyone drinks together, it’s inevitable that we’ll have to hire female entertainers to accompany us. There’s no lack of beautiful and exquisite women among them, but I didn’t do anything to them.” Qi Haoran hurriedly clarified. Seeing that Mu Yangling nodded without any anger on her face, he said even more carefully, “But I’m always worried that one day, when I’m drunk, someone might set me up with one of those women. What if I make a mistake while intoxicated?”

Qi Haoran said in a low mood, “Those women are just objects. But if I hurt your heart because of this, will you leave me because of this?”

Mu Yangling touched his face and asked, “So you’re worried that you don’t have enough self-control and I’ll leave you, right?”

Qi Haoran thought for a moment and said, “This is only one of my concerns. I want to know more if I’m so unimportant to you that I can’t make a single mistake. Ah Ling, I keep feeling that your heart is too fleeting. Sometimes, I keep feeling that you’ll fly away if you just slip from my grasp…”

Mu Yangling was stunned for a moment before she smiled bitterly. “Why would you think you’re unimportant to me?” Mu Yangling grabbed his hand and placed it on her chest. She muttered softly, “You’re the person who understands me the most in this world. You occupy most of my heart…”

Tears welled up in Qi Haoran’s eyes, but his mouth was wide open. He felt that these were the most touching words of romance he had ever heard.

Mu Yangling was silent for a long time before sighing. “Haoran, I’ve always felt that the mind and body should be the same. If one day you develop desires for a woman other than me, does that mean that you like her a little more and like me a little less?”

Qi Haoran hurriedly shook his head. “How can I like you less?” He hugged Mu Yangling and said, “Ah Ling, don’t think about it anymore. I was overthinking previously. I won’t think that way again.”

“You won’t be lustful anymore?”

Qi Haoran shook his head. “No.”

Mu Yangling said, “It’s fine even if you do. It’s just that if you really sleep with another woman, although I might not be willing to leave you, I’ll definitely be hurt. If I’m hurt enough times, I’ll give up on you. In that case, it doesn’t matter if we’re together or not.”

Qi Haoran tightened his grip on Mu Yangling, recalling Mu Yangling’s bitter cries last night. At that time, his heart felt like it was being stabbed by a knife. He silently vowed never to make her cry again in this lifetime.

Mu Yangling moved her head and lay quietly against Qi Haoran’s chest. She felt that this would be it for now. She couldn’t bear to part with Qi Haoran, nor could she bear to part with this family. Qi Haoran didn’t really do anything wrong either, so she would just live like this for now.

She knew that she was kind of being an ostrich, but she did not want to probe further at this moment.

Qi Haoran hugged Mu Yangling, suddenly feeling a little uneasy. “I’ve said my piece. It’s your turn.”

“To say what?”

Qi Haoran asked carefully, “What kind of man do you like?”

Mu Yangling couldn’t help but laugh. “I like someone like you. Someone handsome, majestic, and straightforward. Don’t I like you now?”

The corners of Qi Haoran’s lips curled up. He placed his chin on the top of Mu Yangling’s head and placed her hand on his stomach with his right hand. He promised in a low voice, “Ah Ling, let’s grow old together.”

A tear silently fell from Mu Yangling’s eyes as she clenched her fists tightly.

When the two of them came out of the room, they looked much better. Seeing this, the servants heaved a sigh of relief.

Yesterday, they had been sent away from afar, but the commotion in the room was not small. Although they could not hear the details, they still knew that the couple had quarreled.

Today, seeing that Qi Haoran’s expression was dark again, the servants could not help but feel anxious. Now that they saw that the couple had reconciled, they heaved a sigh of relief.

Qi Haoran was a little careful with Mu Yangling. From time to time, he would look up at her expression. When Mu Yangling met his eyes, she would always smile. Although her attitude was gentle, Qi Haoran still realized that she was in a daze from time to time.

Feeling a little uneasy, Qi Haoran looked at Mu Yangling even more closely.

Little Madam Xia noticed that there was something amiss between the two of them. When she returned home, she asked worriedly, “Husband, is Sister-in-law angry with His Highness because of Jinhua?”

“What’s there to be angry about?” Fan Zijin said nonchalantly. “Haoran doesn’t have any feelings for that Jinhua woman.”

“That’s true, but…”

“Alright.” Fan Zijin stood up and said, “They’ll just quarrel and make up again.”

After two to three days, seeing that there was still no joy on Qi Haoran’s face, Fan Zijin found an opportunity when Qi Haoran was not around to look for Mu Yangling. He went straight to the point and asked, “What exactly are you guys fighting about?”

“It’s nothing.” Mu Yangling said weakly, “I’ll be fine after I get over this.”

Fan Zijin was angry. “By the time you recover, Haoran would’ve died from anxiety. I really don’t know what the two of you are doing. Why do you have to think so much? Isn’t Haoran good to you? Look outside and see who treats you like he does.”

“I treasure him too…”

“Only he cares.” Fan Zijin interrupted her and said, “There are many people in this world who are willing to treat him as well as you do. If you continue to be so stubborn, I’ll find him two girls who are more sensible, gentle, and considerate than you.”

Mu Yangling looked at Fan Zijin speechlessly. “Are you here to mediate or to persuade us to fight?”

Fan Zijin looked at Mu Yangling persistently. Mu Yangling said, “It’s useless even if you find him those girls. They’re not me. Haoran won’t like them.”

“Since you know, what’s there to be conflicted about? He’s in your hands now, and you won’t be separated anymore…”

That’s right, what was she conflicted about?

Mu Yangling perked up and looked at him with bright eyes. “You’re right. He’s still in my hands.” If even then she couldn’t even keep him, that would simply mean that she was incapable.
