Chapter 556: 555 Husband, I think I’ve fallen in love with you (only one update today)

"What are we doing tonight?" Li Xianyun asked casually.

"You tell me, it’s our wedding night," Yelu Yan said, his gaze burning into her.

Li Xianyun laughed despite herself, "Even like this, you still think about that."

"How am I, wife? You’ve already felt, right? A little wound like this doesn’t matter."

This man really was shameless.

Li Xianyun looked at him helplessly and turned to arrange the medicine box without speaking.

But Yelu Yan pulled her into his arms.

"Your wound." Li Xianyun tried to avoid his wound.

Yelu Yan pulled her onto the bed and let her rest in the curve of his arm, looking down at her with a smile.

"Don’t your Han people often say there are three greatest joys in life, meeting an old friend in a foreign place, being top of the list for imperial examination, and the wedding night? How could I miss such an important joy like the wedding night?"

"Haven’t I been yours for a long time? Do you still care about these formalities?" Li Xianyun touched Yelu Yan’s handsome cheek.

"Of course I care." freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

Li Xianyun sighed softly, "Let’s talk about it tonight."

There would always be an excuse to persuade him in the evening.

She said this and struggled to get up, but Yelu Yan wouldn’t let her, "Lie with me for a while."

Li Xianyun pushed against his solid arm, "Holding me like this will hurt your wound, I’ll rest my head on the pillow."

But Yelu Yan pretended not to hear and didn’t move.

"Then I won’t lie with you, huh?" Li Xianyun threatened.

Only then did Yelu Yan lift his arm.

Li Xianyun rested her head on the pillow and wrapped her arms around his sturdy arm, lying on her side and snugly cuddling next to him.

Like a little bird relies on people, heavily impacting Yelu Yan’s heart.

The two lay close together, and Yelu Yan turned his head to kiss the smooth forehead of Li Xianyun.

"Xianxian, in the coming days, I’ll have to rest at the Hall of Diligent Governance. I need you to help me out there," Yelu Yan turned his head to speak to her.

Looking up at him, Li Xianyun knew the affairs of the court didn’t need her; Shulu Xi and Xiao Dilu were there, she just had to act distraught and heartbroken because her husband was seriously injured.

"Don’t worry, I’ll play the part well."

That statement made Yelu Yan laugh. He might not have put it explicitly, but Li Xianyun was smart and caught on instantly.

Yelu Yan looked down at Li Xianyun’s delicate lips.

Understanding the hint, Li Xianyun leaned in, kissed him briefly, then looked at him again and continued to hold onto his arm, resting her cheek against it.

Looking down at her, Yelu Yan felt a heart full of joy and satisfaction. With Li Xianyun by his side, every day was blissfully, freely delightful.

After a while, Yelu Yan noticed Li Xianyun hadn’t moved and looked down at her.

Li Xianyun was staring blankly at a corner of the bed.

Opening his mouth, Yelu Yan asked, "Xianxian, what are you thinking about, hmm?"

To his surprise, this question made Li Xianyun somewhat embarrassed.

Yelu Yan smiled brightly, "Xianxian, are you thinking about tonight?"

On hearing this, Li Xianyun glared at him.

Sure enough, the thoughts of men and women are never the same.

Men are mostly straightforward, thinking about intimate relations in a simple and crude way, mostly concerning what happens in bed with a woman they like.

Whereas women’s thoughts are much purer, focusing more on the emotional aspect.

"You think I’m like you, thinking only of those filthy things?" Li Xianyun said in a delicate voice.

Yelu Yan grinned and replied, "How is it filthy? Loving you, wanting you, is that filthy?"

Li Xianyun didn’t want to argue anymore. He had even said things like "wanting you", and who knows what more embarrassing words could follow if they continued.

"Alright, alright, you’re not filthy, you’re the most pure and incorruptible. Happy now?"

"I am naturally pure and incorruptible, taking good care of myself, undistracted, loyal, and devoted," Yelu Yan said with a laugh.

"..."

This man’s face was not only getting thicker by the day, but his words were slick and true, so she found herself unable to refute him.

"So, what were you really thinking just now? You seemed so focused."

Li Xianyun looked up at Yelu Yan intently and with great seriousness, "My lord."

Her serious expression actually startled Yelu Yan, his heart pounding nonstop, "Hmm?"

"I think I’ve fallen in love with you," Li Xianyun said earnestly.

When she had heard that Yelu Yan was attacked, it was as if her body and soul were no longer her own, as if her spirits had scattered.

All her memories with Yelu Yan surged before her eyes.

Her feelings for Yelu Yan had initially been simply gratitude, because she was solely focused on revenge and had never thought she would fall in love with a man.

Slowly, from some unknown point, that gratitude had slowly turned into love and dependence, and she found herself unable to leave him.

Before, she had never confronted her own feelings, but when she learned that Yelu Yan was severely injured and his life was in danger, she realized how much she cared for him.

Yelu Yan, upon hearing her words, was overjoyed and incredibly excited, his eyes and brows curved in smiles, his charming thin lips stretched to his ears in delight.

Ignoring Li Xianyun’s attempts to stop him, he flipped over and held her beneath him, unable to hide his excitement and joy, his shaky voice revealing his elation.

"Xianxian, you don’t know how long I’ve hoped to hear you say these words."

At first, he had hoped that Li Xianyun would fall in love with him, but later, realizing she was a reserved and rational person, decisive and not easily swept away by emotions, he gradually lost hope.

As long as Li Xianyun was willing to stay by his side, as long as she was willing to grow old with him, why should he ask for more?

One shouldn’t be too greedy in life.

Who would’ve thought that she would suddenly confess her love for him? How could he not be overjoyed?

"Xianxian, I am so happy, rest assured, in this lifetime I will take good care of you, never letting you suffer the slightest grievance."

Yelu Yan, excited, his tiger eyes bright and his face flushed, was a bit incoherent in his speech.

"I trust you," Li Xianyun smiled.

Yelu Yan had always protected and cared for her well, and she knew it.

Elated beyond measure, Yelu Yan suddenly caught Li Xianyun’s lips in his, their kiss deepening passionately.

After a long while, Li Xianyun emerged from the inner chamber of the Hall of Diligent Governance and came to the hall.

The officials bowed to Li Xianyun, "Greetings, Your Majesty the Queen."

Li Xianyun spoke, "The Khan is unharmed, you may all go rest."

But though she said this, her distraught expression and evasive eyes clearly showed she was lying, especially when she almost stumbled as she turned around.

If not for the maid by her side who quickly caught her, she would have fallen.

The ministers already had their suspicions.

Even the highly skilled Li Xianyun seemed powerless, it appeared that the Khan’s chances this time were slim.

The ministers’ expressions grew even graver, and since all the old ministers had been purged, the court and field were filled with Yelu Yan’s people.

It is said that no walls can block the wind.

The news of Yelu Yan’s grave injury spread across neighboring countries through diplomats on the very day, and even Li Xianyun’s reactions were accurately reported to their respective sovereigns by shrewd individuals.
