He smiled gently, holding her hand and brought it to his lips for a quick peck, then said, "I just want to know if Jin Wuji has mistreated you, and on your way escaping from the Northern Land, if you encountered any other dangers."
As for Lu Ziyuan?
That man, though arrogant, was genuine in his love for her.
He would not harm her.
In other words, during the ti she was with Lu Ziyuan, she was properly protected and he had no worries.
As for... the rest.
Everything beca insignificant after she experienced the impact of her death.
Xie Wanqing understood what he ant.
But she couldn’t stand it.
Compared to his gentle care and patient comfort.
She would rather he berate her once, it would feel better than this.
Xie Wanqing held back her tears, recounting in detail her experiences over the past few months.
Having cried for so long, she couldn’t utter a few sentences without quietly sobbing a bit.
Pei Yuqing listened intently but didn’t forget to gently pat her shoulder and carefully wiped her tears with a cloth.
After quietly listening to everything, he breathed a sigh, saying, "Wanwan has an auspicious aura, whatever she encounters, she can turn misfortune into fortune."
Saying this, seeing her about to weep again, he couldn’t help but chuckle, "... You’re going to be a mother soon, why are you still acting like a little girl."
"... You, you..." Xie Wanqing sniffed, moved a little away from him, wiped her face indiscriminately, and said, "Pei Changqing, I’m no longer your wife, don’t be so good to anymore."
"Is that so..." Pei Yuqing, still squatting, looking at her tear-stained face, suddenly said, "Do you know what I was thinking about during those days when you had the accident?"
Xie Wanqing was stunned, looking into his eyes, her heart suddenly tightened, and inexplicably couldn’t ask, "What."
Pei Yuqing smiled slightly at her, "The feeling of losing the one you love is truly worse than death; I’d rather have followed you."
!!!
Xie Wanqing’s pupils suddenly enlarged, shocked, she instinctively wanted to stand up, but her wrist was tightly grasped by the squatting man.
"Listen to ," he spoke with rare assertiveness, "Wanwan, listen to !"
"No, no..." Xie Wanqing stared at him blankly, "You’re much older than , peaceful in temperant, steady-minded, always thinking three steps ahead, never acting impulsively, how could such thoughts arise."
"Except for being much older than you, which cannot be changed, what does the rest matter..." Pei Yuqing chuckled, "Wanwan, it’s my first ti loving too; losing you would also bring unbearable pain."
Nearing his thirties, eleven years her senior, he naturally appeared peaceful and steady in front of her.
After marrying her, he ought to treasure and protect her.
Even when being ravaged distractingly by Lu Ziyuan like a mad dog, he couldn’t reveal it in front of her.
Even if driven mad by jealousy, he must feign a calm deanor, not making things difficult for her.
He indeed could endure, but that didn’t an he could endure losing her.
Especially in such a tragic manner.
Fleeing Lu Ziyuan’s side to escape for him, only to encounter villains and be forced to jump into the lake...
Pei Yuqing’s breath trembled, his usually gentle expression since their reunion finally cracked, showing signs of panic.
"Wanwan," he opened his lips, "had it not been for discovering the chains under the window, hinting at your slight chance of survival, I’d probably have followed you."
All this ti, he reminded himself about his age difference with her.
All frustrations, jealousy, and feelings of loss were silently swallowed.
For the first ti, he completely exposed his vulnerability in front of her.
