Anjing also noticed that Li Wuyu had been staring straight at Wang Youbao since he approached them, which instantly reminded her of the time she too had stared at her own husband with the same intensity.
This made Anjing feel a stronger affinity for Li Wuyu. A kindred spirit, so to speak.
As soon as Wang Youbao asked, she introduced her, "This is Li Wuyu, a person from the Imperial Capital who came to tour our county. I met her in town a few days ago. We had a pleasant chat. She’s here to visit me today, and it just so happened that you ran into us."
It was then that Wang Youbao greeted Li Wuyu with polite courtesy, "Miss Li, I am Wang Youbao."
Li Wuyu immediately called out with sparkling eyes, "Youbao."
Unable to hold back, Anjing burst into laughter. It seemed Li Wuyu truly had her eyes on Wang Youbao. It was love at first sight.
Wang Youbao looked at Anjing with pleading eyes. What was this girl doing...
But before Anjing could say anything, Li Wuyu excitedly interjected, "Youbao, you don’t need to address me as Miss Li, just call me Wuyu."
Wang Youbao smiled awkwardly. Could you not call me Youbao... We’re not that close, young lady... and besides, even my father has never called me that...
At this moment, Anjing finally believed that Li Wuyu truly had an unconventional personality.
But she didn’t help Youbao out; instead, she watched Xiao Changyi, whose expression was still flat. Her husband must have experienced love at first sight with her.
Love was indeed strange and inexplicable.
Sometimes, it only took one glance to pledge steadfast loyalty; from then on, they were inseparable, in life and death.
Changyi was also watching her, always watching her. When he saw her looking over, the fingers clasped with hers immediately tightened.
Before he met her, his life had always been shrouded in darkness. He had never seen light; he was like a lifeless shell, alive yet as if dead, better off dead.
He had often sought death on the battlefield but never succeeded. Instead, his valor grew, even protecting the Xiyun Kingdom from foreign invasion and safeguarding the vast lands of the Su Family.
He was considered a harbinger of death, and many wished for his demise. He himself sought it, yet he continued to live, ultimately being crowned as a king, revered by thousands. How ironic was that?
Later, he decided to leave his fate to the heavens. Since fate would not let him die, he would live until the day came when he was meant to.
To him, everything was immaterial; life went on.
But he never expected to meet her.
At the time, she stood in a pit, and though she shared the looks of Lin Anjing, her spirit was vastly different from that of the self-deprecating Lin Anjing. He had never seen such a spirit in any woman.
She was so confident, so composed, so unwilling to accept defeat, so not ready to be subjugated, with a hint of roguish charm; she was like a glowing entity, deeply attracting his gaze, making it impossible for him to look away.
And he didn’t intend to.
He would always watch her . She was the only beam of light in his life, not only illuminating his dark existence but also warming his cold heart. Furthermore, her kindness towards him was unparalleled.
If anyone dared to harm her, he would kill them! Even if it meant opposing the entire world! Even if it meant battling against the sun and the moon!
At this thought, Changyi’s eyes suddenly turned cold, filled with murderous intent.
Anjing, somewhat confused as to why Changyi was suddenly emanating such an aura of bloodlust, tightened her grip on his hand.
As soon as Changyi felt the pressure she applied to his hand, the murderous spirit instantly dissipated. Gazing at her, his once cold eyes now held nothing but tenderness.
