With a pale face, Xie Limo nodded and said, “I will do it.”
Bai Yaoyao continued, “You must do it. Only when you are well can she be well. Her personality is different from mine and Bilu’s. She tends to keep her feelings to herself, but all of us can tell that she sees you as more important than her own life.”
Xie Limo was stunned for a moment. He always thought that he loved her more than his own life, and that loving her had become the most important thing for him. He had never thought of how much she loved him.
Hearing this from Bixue’s best friend had a deep impact on him too.
Xie Limo suddenly thought of something and asked, “How did you know about Grandfather’s incident?”
Thinking of Grandfather Yun, Bai Yaoyao’s expression fell. “Last year before I returned, I called Bixue. At that time, I already asked about Grandfather Yun, but she was beating about the bush and didn’t tell me much. Being her best friend for so many years, I could tell that something must have happened. After I returned, although she explained to me that Grandfather Yun went to your Xie clan’s headquarters to rest and recuperate, I didn’t really believe it. Also, I went to Ning An City for a reason. I wanted to go and take a look, and then I found out what really happened to Grandfather Yun. I let my emotions loose for a few days till I could control my feelings before I returned.”
Xie Limo said sentimentally, “You’re really her best friend.”
Bai Yaoyao said proudly, “She is my best friend too.”
Other people did not understand her relationship with Bixue, but she knew very well that they were closer to each other than kin, even if they were not related by blood.
She had been prepared. If she laid her life down on the battlefield this time, she would not have any regrets. She felt that Bixue would live on happily for her.
Of course, she would only keep these words in her heart and would not say it out loud.
Xie Limo said resignedly, “Bai Yaoyao, you’re very important to her too. To tell the truth, none of us wants you to go back to Country X.”
“But one has to take their own paths eventually. Even if you guys don’t want me to go back, I will still go back.”
Xie Limo pondered for a moment. He could only say, “Actually, Duan Yanhao called me before. He pleaded and asked me to make you stay in Country A and prevent you from ever going back. He also asked me not to tell you about the war.”
Hearing Xie Limo’s words, Bai Yaoyao’s heart clenched in pain. Duan Yanhao was a fool. If Xie Limo did not say that, she would not have known that Duan Yanhao had always kept her on his mind.
“Will you still insist?”
Bai Yaoyao nodded resolutely. “Yes, I insist. Even if not for Duan Yanhao, it is my duty as a soldier. Also, I told you before that you should understand how women think. We will be strong for love and work hard for love.”
After a moment’s silence, Xie Limo nodded. “Alright. I will send someone to escort you back to Country X. However, you must let people protect you. To not let Bixue feel sad, you must take care of yourself and be safe.”
“Okay.”
Since they had talked things out, Xie Limo voiced his own opinions frankly. “Once the war starts in Country X this time, it won’t be a small war. Country X will undergo a round of power reshuffling. Duan Yanhao would also make sure to be fully prepared for this. By right, the Xie family should not be involved in this, but for Bixue’s sake, I still decided to lend a helping hand. If you need anything, be it military or any other material resources, the Xie family will help you with it.”
Hearing this, Bai Yaoyao smiled. “I can be assured now that Bixue has you.”
She knew that Young Master Xie was a true man. She can now go and find Duan Yanhao without any worries in her heart now.
