Inside the sleeping chamber.
The temperature has cooled.
Xiao Jinxing leaves the bed.
His clothes have beco disheveled, and he is tidying up bit by bit.
Therefore, he didn’t leave imdiately.
Perhaps also allowing his body to cool down.
The relationship between the two might have worsened more than before.
After tidying up his clothes, Xiao Jinxing said, "You should sleep here tonight, don’t delay your departure tomorrow."
He dropped a sentence.
And left without looking back.
Ye Qichi watched his retreating figure.
She thought, perhaps, Xiao Jinxing would never climb into her bed again.
She sighed in relief.
For Xiao Jinxing, and for herself.
She stood up and swiftly tidied up her clothes as well.
Then she left.
Xiao Jinxing asking her to sleep here, she didn’t mind.
But she felt Bai Mowan would mind.
Without even thinking, Bai Mowan would definitely co back to find Xiao Jinxing.
How could she tolerate Xiao Jinxing being alone with her?
Actually, she understood.
If it was Fu Xingyi, she wouldn’t tolerate any woman by his side either.
She walked out of the grand hall.
Right away, she ran into Bai Mowan.
Luckily.
She wasn’t caught "cheating in bed."
Otherwise, even jumping into the Yellow River wouldn’t wash it clean.
Bai Mowan looked at Ye Qichi, her face undisguisedly ugly.
She just returned from the palace with Gu Xingchuan.
Out of good intentions, she advised Gu Xingchuan, knowing his feelings for Ye Qichi, encouraging him to seize the opportunity.
Unexpectedly, Gu Xingchuan flatly refused.
Saying that whoever Ye Qichi likes and chooses, he will respect.
He would not, like so people, interfere with other couples’ matters.
Bai Mowan was harshly ridiculed by Gu Xingchuan.
She had never been spoken to like this in her life.
And during this period, her own jealousy made her feel speechless.
Even if she could deceive others, she couldn’t deceive herself.
Indeed, she wished Ye Qichi would leave Xiao Jinxing and never see him again.
She just couldn’t stand to see any bit of goodness in Ye Qichi.
After talking with Gu Xingchuan.
Bai Mowan entered Xiao Jinxing’s palace, furious.
Then she saw Ye Qichi, so nonchalantly inside Xiao Jinxing’s palace.
The fury in her heart made her really want to fight Ye Qichi.
Yet she didn’t want her inner darkness and rage to burst out either.
So she could only glare at her fiercely.
Suddenly seeing a distinct purple-red mark on Ye Qichi’s neck.
This mont felt like a thunderous shock on a clear day.
Her gaze was sharp as a knife, filled with raging fury.
Ye Qichi could feel Bai Mowan’s emotions.
"Looking for Xiao Jinxing?" Ye Qichi said, "He’s not here."
One reason was not wanting to bear Bai Mowan’s wrath.
Tonight, no matter what, Bai Mowan would be angry, but making Bai Mowan feel better wasn’t her responsibility, so she wasn’t so kind-hearted.
The second reason was, she didn’t want Bai Mowan to misunderstand her relationship with Xiao Jinxing.
She also didn’t have a masochistic streak, intentionally letting Bai Mowan target her.
"Did you sleep with him?" Bai Mowan seed not to hear what Ye Qichi was saying, she asked her piercingly cold.
Ye Qichi clenched her eyes tightly.
Clearly, Bai Mowan was extrely angry at the mont.
"No," Ye Qichi stated directly.
"Did all that today, danced provocatively in public, just to sleep with Xiao Jinxing?" Bai Mowan’s uncontrollable rage was filled with scorn.
"I said no!" Ye Qichi grew angry too.
Bai Mowan’s aggressiveness wasn’t sothing she would passively accept.
"Did everything and still don’t admit it?! Everyone saw your shaless behavior, what are you still pretending for?!" Bai Mowan’s suppressed anger ca out gritting, "Xiao Jinxing slept with you, just because you’re too promiscuous!"
"So, are you jealous?" Ye Qichi decided not to explain any further.
An explanation would just be a waste of words.
"Jealous? With such indecent behavior, I would feel disgusted..."
"Yes, I slept with Xiao Jinxing," Ye Qichi admitted.
Originally, I thought.
There was no need to tell Bai Mowan about this kind of thing.
No woman could accept it.
Just consider it a white lie.
Ye Qichi directly lifted his sleeve, revealing his fair and tender arm.
"See? The virginity mark is gone." Ye Qichi made it clear for Bai Mowan to see.
Bai Mowan’s eyes reddened in an instant.
Guessing and actually seeing are completely different impacts.
In the previous life.
Xiao Jinxing had always kept himself pure for her.
In the previous life, until the mont of his death, Xiao Jinxing had never touched any other woman.
But.
He had touched Ye Qichi.
Indeed, he had shared a room with Ye Qichi.
Her body trembled slightly.
As if she had suffered a trendous blow.
She couldn’t even speak at the mont.
Tears fell crazily, heartbroken.
Ye Qichi just coldly watched Bai Mowan’s appearance.
She slowly lowered her sleeve, saying, "I do not provoke others unless provoked, but if provoked, I will retaliate without rcy!"
Leaving behind those words.
Ye Qichi left.
So imperious.
Bai Mowan, restraining her body.
Finally, she couldn’t hold back and scread out loud in breakdown.
No!
She absolutely wouldn’t let Ye Qichi take Xiao Jinxing away from her.
Even if she had to resort to any ans necessary, she would be with Xiao Jinxing.
She wanted to beco Xiao Jinxing’s Empress.
She wanted to beco the Empress of Daxuan Kingdom.
No one can stop her!
Bai Mowan was utterly devastated.
She collapsed on the floor of the grand hall, her tears flowing wildly.
But she didn’t allow herself to cry for too long.
Her pride and dignity wouldn’t allow her to remain in such a disheveled state.
Wouldn’t allow herself to be overshadowed by Ye Qichi, such an insignificant woman.
She stood up.
Wiped her tears clean.
As if nothing had ever happened.
She was still that heroic and valiant, Bai Family’s general, Bai Mowan.
She walked out of the great hall.
To find Xiao Jinxing.
She wanted to et Xiao Jinxing in her most perfect state.
Bai Mowan found him in the cold palace.
She clearly knew that before leaving the palace, Xiao Jinxing would definitely co to bid farewell to his royal mother.
As a boy, Xiao Jinxing often ca here too.
Many tis, she was there with him.
She knew all the pains in his heart.
She was the woman who understood Xiao Jinxing the most, the most suited for him.
Ye Qichi was nothing in comparison.
She walked in.
Xiao Jinxing heard the sound.
But he didn’t turn around.
"Brother Xiao." Bai Mowan had regained her composure.
Her voice was filled with heartache and even tenderness.
Xiao Jinxing’s Adam’s apple moved slightly.
He couldn’t expect Ye Qichi to co looking for him.
He didn’t even know if he was hoping that Ye Qichi would co.
Perhaps it would be better if she didn’t.
Bai Mowan received no response from Xiao Jinxing.
She clenched her teeth, mustered her courage, and hugged Xiao Jinxing tightly from behind.
Xiao Jinxing’s heart fluttered slightly.
The guilt he felt towards Bai Mowan seed even deeper.
"I will always be by your side," Bai Mowan said. "I will love you just like your mother loved you."
These were the words that Bai Mowan, who had been by his side during his visits to the cold palace as a child missed his mother, had told him then.
Still, the mory is fresh.
