Now, Jun Wuhen was obviously in a good mood. Bai Aoxue knew Dark King, which was beyond his expectations. It would do good to his plan. How could he not be happy?
Now, he needed to control Bai Aoxue completely even he needed to sacrifice Bai Qiwei who was almost valueless! In this way, all the problems could be solved easily.
Bai Qiwei, who had left, did not know that in Jun Wuhen’s eyes, he already became a chess piece that could be abandoned at any time. Compared with his daughter whom he looked down upon, he was even more worthless.
Now, Bai Aoxue, the most valuable chess piece, was being wined and dined by Jun Yeyan.
“Xue, these are all tonic treasures. Now you are weak, so you need build up your health!” Jun Yeyan arranged meals for Bai Aoxue personally.
Looking at Jun Yeyan who took care of her like this, there were some unnamable feelings in Bai Aoxue’s heart.
Jun Yeyan put a delicate little table on Bai Aoxue’s bead carefully then added a few cushions meticulously behind her back before he helped her up.
Obviously, Jun Yeyan completed this series of actions naturally without a trace of inappropriateness, as if he was supposed to do so.
Zhao’s endurance was enhanced. He was not petrified as he was before.
Bai Aoxue controlled her emotions and said huskily: “Thank you.”
Jun Yeyan did not speak. He put plates of exquisite meals on a small table. Although Bai Aoxue was injured, she could still eat by herself.
However, it was clear that Jun Yeyan, who held a bowl of hot millet porridge, did not think so.
“Xue, what kind of food do you want to eat first?” Jun Yeyan held a millet porridge and asked. He blinked with his charming phoenix-like eyes.
When Bai Aoxue looked at Jun Yeyan’s behaviors, she knew that he did not intend to let her use chopsticks.
“Jun Yeyan, I can eat on my own.” Bai Aoxue turned her head unnaturally.
When Jun Yeyan heard Bai Aoxue’s words, he shook his head in disapproval: “Xue, I just want to take care of you.”
All of a sudden, Bai Aoxue seemed to hear her rapid heartbeats in a cheerful rhythm. “Pit-a-pat, pit-a-pat.”
In her two lives, she never heard anyone say “I just want to take care of you” to her.
Those partners who trained together with her in the organization, the wanderers that she knew when she was traveling leisurely and the instructor who was cold by nature all told her that she should take care of herself, but no one said that “I will take care of you”.
At that time, she never had too much expectations. Most of these people were passers-by in her life. Perhaps they would impress her, but they still drifted apart as time went on.
Now, there was a person who said those words to her. She even felt warmth was within reach.
Jun Yeyan didn’t know that his words opened Bai Aoxue’s heart that was tightly closed.
“Take care of yourself first.” Although Bai Aoxue was moved, she still didn’t allow herself to be outdone.
Bai Aoxue also hated herself who always said something different from what she thought, but this was her instinct. She rarely communicated with people in preceding world, so she didn’t know how to get along with others.
In this world, she met a lot of people who let her feel warm, and she also did everything according to her own will, because she knew that these people would not leave her. So, allow her to be willful.
Jun Yeyan obviously found that Bai Aoxue intended to be haughty to cover up her shyness. He said with love: “Come on, the food is going to be cold.”
After that, he put the spoon near Bai Aoxue’s mouth. That firm expression evoked laughter from Bai Aoxue.
Bai Aoxue didn’t reject him this time. Her cheeks were rosy. She slightly opened her extremely beautiful mouth and then ate the millet porridge in the spoon carefully.
“Physician said that your abdomen is injured, so you can’t eat rice or other food right now. I let them prepare millet porridge for you, so you can swallow it smoothly.” Jun Yeyan was afraid that Bai Aoxue didn’t like millet porridge. He explained to Bai Aoxue and fed her at the same time.
But in fact, his handsome face under the mask was already red as blood, so was Bai Aoxue’s face.
This was the first time in twenty years that he had been feeding people, and this woman was exactly whom he loved.
This kind of feeling and atmosphere made Jun Yeyan feel satisfied without reason.
“Hum…” Bai Aoxue swallowed the millet porridge. Before she had time to reply, the second spoon of porridge approached her lips.
And Zhao, a human being, was forgotten by them who were happy and sweet.
Even if they had remembered him, he was invisible to them.
Zhao also performed his duties as a shadow guard. He was excellent at hiding.
After a meal, Bai Aoxue finally felt that she was getting back her strength, but it would take some time for the wound at her abdomen to recover.
Jun Yeyan let Zhao to tidy up the table.
Today, he was already very satisfied since he could get along with Bai Aoxue for so long. It seemed that they were a family. He was her husband, and she was his wife.
Bai Aoxue closed her eyes and rested for a while. After that, Jun Yeyan walked in.
“Is everything settled?” Bai Aoxue opened her beautiful and glistening eyes then said slightly.
“Yes.” Jun Yeyan walked to Bai Aoxue. He slightly bent down, which he wouldn’t do even if the sky fell down, and gently held Bai Aoxue in his arms.
Bai Aoxue did not struggle. This was not the time to show off her abilities.
Her small face was hidden in Jun Yeyan’s chest. Bai Aoxue could feel the temperature of Jun Yeyan’s body and smelt a faint bamboo fragrance from him.
Suddenly, she felt peaceful.
Jun Yeyan picked up his sexy thin lips. That beautiful and perfect thin lips indicated his good mood.
Putting Bai Aoxue on the soft sedan, Jun Yeyan carefully adjusted Bai Aoxue’s sitting posture. After that, he slowly said: “Don’t walk. Remember to apply medicine in time. I will go to see you.”
Bai Aoxue listened to Jun Yeyan’s exhortation quietly. She even didn’t feel annoyed.
Looking at Bai Aoxue’s well-behaved appearance, Jun Yeyan sighed: “How good it will be if you can always be like this and don’t let yourself get hurt.”
After Bai Aoxue listened to Jun Yeyan’s words, she understood Jun Yeyan’s thoughts. However, if she was the same as Jun Yeyan said, she wouldn’t be Bai Aoxue.
“The secular bonds and shackles always trap those people who are resigned to their fates. I’m not one of them. My life should be controlled by myself. If anyone tries to control my life, I will kill that people no matter who he or she is!” Looking up at Jun Yeyan, Bai Aoxue smiled lightly.
Her smile was light like a feather, but it was very heavy in Jun Yeyan’s heart.
His Aoxue should be unyielding. Firm and unyielding were not just used to describe men.
“Go back. There is another battle waiting for us. I will come to see you.” Jun Yeyan looked at her gently. There were thick emotions in his deep eyes.
Bai Aoxue was sent back to General’s mansion by a group of people who pretended to be servants of Dark King. The process was neither flaunty nor low-key.
When Ye Zhaojue came out, Bai Aoxue just lifted the curtain.
“Aoxue, don’t move, I’m coming.” After that, he quickly walked to Bai Aoxue with big strides.
When Bai Aoxue saw this scene, she did not insist. She just sat on the soft sedan chair and waited for Ye Zhaojue.
Ye Zhaojue walked to Bai Aoxue. After checking her thoroughly and finding that there was nothing unusual, he carefully held Bai Aoxue in his arms.
“Miss Bai, my king said that he has requited your mother since she saved his life. Miss Bai, wish you have a good life. We should leave now.” One of those people who sent Bai Aoxue back said. Neither was him humble nor haughty.
After Bai Aoxue heard his words, she nodded and said: “I appreciate it. We owe each other nothing in the future!”
And Ye Zhaojue and his soldiers, who stood aside, were confused about their conversation.
After following Dark King’s subordinates with their eyes, Ye Zhaojue took Bai Aoxue back to General’s mansion.
After those eyeliners of all parties saw that Bai Aoxue, who was so weak, returned to General’s mansion, they immediately rushed back to report to their masters.
“Aoxue, how are your wounds? Did Dark King take good care of you?” Ye Zhaojue asked anxiously.
Bai Aoxue smiled and said: “Those wounds have been bandaged. Maybe the medicine that they gave me is very good. Blood has been staunched, and I don’t feel painful anymore. Fortunately, internal organs were not injured.”
When Ye Zhaojue heard that, he was relieved.
But he still felt guilty. Even if he was staying with Aoxue, he still didn’t take care of her.
“Aoxue, am I bad at being an uncle? I never took good care of you.” Ye Zhaojue said in depression.
After Bai Aoxue heard his words, she muttered: “Uncle, don’t blame yourself. It is me who didn’t take care of myself. It’s my fault. I won’t be so reckless in the future.”
Ye Zhaojue sent Bai Aoxue back to her small courtyard. Bai Aoxue told Ye Zhaojue why Dark King saved her, although she made it up.
Ye Zhaojue sighed. He felt that his sister was protecting Aoxue even if she left her.
Ye Zhaojue felt that Bai Aoxue needed more rest since she was injured, so before he left at ease, he dismissed everyone who came to visit Bai Aoxue and arranged a lot of guards at every corners of her yard.
Zhao appeared after Ye Zhaojue left for a while.
“Miss Bai, the eyeliner of Prime Minister’s mansion has already returned to report just as you expected. Bai Qiwei is now preparing something. It seems that he will coming here.” He looked at Bai Aoxue with admiration.
Bai Aoxue had already known the results of Bai Qiwei’s meeting with Jun Wuhen in palace. Once Bai Qiwei told Jun Wuhen that she was associated with Dark King, Jun Wuhen would pay more attention to her.
He also wanted to control her as a vital chess piece.
In this way, Bai Qiwei needed to sacrifice himself for Jun Wuhen’s big plan.
He needed to apologize for his mistakes, asking for Bai Aoxue’s forgiveness, which would ease the relationship between Bai Aoxue and him!
This was why Bai Aoxue let Jun Yeyan’s people pretend to be Dark King’s subordinates. Only in this way would Jun Wuhen be more certain that Dark King valued Bai Aoxue.
Then, Jun Wuhen would try to consolidate the mutual interest relationship between him and Bai Aoxue.
Now, Bai Aoxue only needed to enjoy at ease and wait for Bai Qiwei, who was not resigned and helpless, to come.
