“There are some things I didn’t tell you not because I didn’t want to, but because it’ll hurt you.”
“But I just want to know!” said Gu Bailu stubbornly.
She wanted to know the truth about her previous life even if it might hurt; otherwise, it was suffocating.
“Alright… alright, I’ll tell you everything, but after you know everything, you must never run away without a word again, okay?” Feng Qingtian kissed her forehead, which soothed the longing and pain he had been feeling.
Gu Bailu was happy as she hugged him. “Really? You get some rest first.”
He was her man, after all. Gu Bailu’s heart ached when she saw how thin he was.
“You care about me now?” Feng Qingtian smiled.
“I’ve always cared about you.” Gu Bailu played cute.
Watching them be lovey-dovey from the side, Lu Fenying couldn’t help but say, “Prince Zi, clean up first, or other people might think that I’m keeping a beggar in my house.”
Gu Bailu was indignant. “What do you know? Even if he’s a beggar, he’s the most handsome beggar in the world. What beggar can be as mighty as he is?”
Lu Fenying’s lips twitched before he turned around and walked away.
You do whatever you want. I’ll just go and see if Mo Qian’er is behaving.
After cleaning up in the western courtyard, Feng Qingtian’s unparalleled looks were restored. Gu Bailu threw herself into his arms. Only after not seeing him for so long did she realize that she had actually missed him the whole time.
Lu Fenying couldn’t be considered good-looking, but her man was still the most gorgeous.
Feng Qingtian furrowed his brow slightly. “Change your face back.”
“Why? You don’t like me because I’m not pretty?”
“Fine, fine, do whatever you want.” Sitting on the couch, Feng Qingtian held her in his arms. “Nothing is as important as your safety.”
Leaning against his chest, Gu Bailu listened to his heartbeat and felt particularly peaceful.
This was probably what it meant when a reunited couple were more in love than a newlywed couple.
She had previously thought that Feng Qingtian loved her more than he loved himself, so she hadn’t cared and had never worried that he would do anything bad to her. She never took it seriously.
But this time, she had felt a sense of crisis because he might be more interested in the baby than her. Being able to return to his arms now felt rare and precious.
Her happiness was beyond description.
She had thought that she would run when she saw him; instead, she found his embrace so warm that she didn’t want to let go ever again.
“Sleep first.” Gu Bailu patted his chest gently. “Be a good boy.”
“No. I was very tired but couldn’t sleep before, but now that you’re here, I’m not sleepy anymore.” Feng Qingtian kissed her lips and licked them relentlessly but gently.
Gu Bailu didn’t push him away until he was done kissing her. She gasped heavily as she said, “If you don’t need to sleep, why don’t you tell me why I killed you in my previous life? Because you used me to give you a baby?”
Feng Qingtian hesitated, but he nodded in the end. “Yes.”
Gu Bailu jolted upright. “You really used me to give you a baby?”
“No, that was your misunderstanding. Because of some other things, you clashed with me. You didn’t want to kill me; it was an accident,” Feng Qingtian hurriedly explained.
“No, it can’t be as simple as that. I want the truth.”
Feng Qingtian frowned; he was really reluctant to tell the truth.
“I can tell you, but… please don’t be upset or ignore me after you hear it.’ Feng Qingtian hugged her. “In any case, my love for you has never changed.”
