Chapter 198 My Heart Yearns for
Nanchun woke up in the middle of the night.
Woke up hungry.
Bai Xun hadn't slept yet, so as soon as Nanchun woke up, he kissed his forehead.
"Are you hungry?"
Nanchun said "hmm".
"I'll go down and get you something to eat."
Bai Xun got up, turned on the light, and went downstairs.
Ah Fu and Housekeeper Yan were worried about the Second Young Master and Second Young Mistress not having eaten, so they hadn't slept yet. Seeing Bai Xun coming down, they hurried forward to greet him.
"Second Young Master, is Second Young Madam awake?"
"Well, give me the food and I'll bring it up."
"Okay, okay, I'll go to the kitchen to get it." Butler Yan hurried to the kitchen.
When Bai Xun came up and laid out the food, Nanchun saw that they were all her favorites.
Nanchun sat on the sofa and just picked up the chopsticks when Bai Xun snatched them away.
"Your wrist is injured. I'll feed you."
Nanchun looked at the food that was brought to her mouth, her face flushed, and she said unnaturally, "I can eat it by myself."
Bai Xun seemed not to hear and continued to feed him persistently.
Nanchun couldn't persuade him, so she opened her mouth and started eating.
After dinner, Nanchun asked, "Why did you come back so soon? I thought... you would stay at the old house for a while before coming back."
"What? Don't you want me to come back soon?" Bai Xun asked.
Nanchun subconsciously retorted: "No...I don't want you to come back soon."
Bai Xun looked at him straight and asked, "Do you miss me?"
Nanchun was slightly startled, then blushed and avoided his gaze.
Bai Xun sat down beside him, took his hand, and asked again: "Do you miss me?"
Nanchun looked up at him and nodded: "You saw Aunt Han, right? Did she say anything to you? What do you think?"
Although he said that Bai Xun should take a concubine, when Aunt Han really came into the house, a thorn grew in his heart, which made him uncomfortable.
Bai Xun sighed lightly, stood up and took out a letter from the suitcase.
"Han Bailing asked me to give this to you."
Nanchun took the letter and opened it to read.
Nanchun, I'm sorry.
Marrying into the Bai family was all due to my selfish motives.
My stepmother and father intend to marry me off to Young Marshal Li of Ancheng as a concubine. Li Cheng is a ruthless, uneducated, dissolute man who spends his days in debauchery and has no sense of shame. If I marry him, I'm afraid I'll end up dead.
In my despair, I suddenly heard that the Bai family was considering taking a concubine for the second young master, and I became interested. I knew that in He'an, only the Bai family could stand up to the Li family, and I could only guarantee my safety by marrying into the Bai family. Then, I devised a plan to make this happen.
I'm sorry, Nanchun.
I used to think your marriage to the Second Young Master was a forced one, that there was no love between you two. But after I entered your house, I realized that you and he were in love. But now that things have come to this, I am powerless to change them.
I say I'm powerless to change things, but the truth is... I feel guilty, but I'm also clinging to hope. I think since you're a man, and you're disliked by the head of the family and the old lady, your relationship with the Second Young Master won't last. In the future... with time, maybe I'll have a place in the Bai family.
After the Second Young Master returned, he had a very unhappy argument with the head of the family and the old lady because of me. He told me that you were the only one in his heart and that you would always be the only one. He was even willing to give up everything and run away with you.
I have completely lost. Those shameful fantasies...are ultimately just flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water.
I am sorry for you because I made things difficult for you out of my own selfish interests.
But if I return to the Han family now, I'll inevitably marry into the Li family. Please give me some more time. During this time, I'll help you stabilize the family head and the old lady. Once everything is settled, I'll leave here and return you and the Second Young Master to your original peaceful life.
Nanchun was very surprised after reading it. He thought Han Bailing was willing to endure such a great injustice because she loved Baixun...
"I thought she liked you... because she liked you, she was willing to be a concubine. She even took advantage of your absence to enter the house in such an unjust way. She suffered so much injustice... I didn't expect that the Li family was involved in this. How could her father do this? Knowing that the Li family was a hellhole, he still sent his own daughter in there." Nanchun frowned and said.
"I have only met her a few times. What do she like about me? You should be honest with me if you have any ideas. If she doesn't come out to explain, will you always be angry with me about this?" Bai Xun said, holding his hand.
Nan Chun lowered his eyes and said nothing, his heart beating fast.
Han Bailing said in the letter that Bai Xun only has me in his heart.
is that true?
"I wanted to refuse her, but I thought I should discuss this matter with you," said Bai Xun.
Nanchun nodded and said, "Miss Han is a good person. She took a risk to help me before. I can't watch her return to the Han family and be thrown into the fire pit. If she is willing to stay in the old house, then she can stay!"
"Okay, once everything is settled, I'll send her to where she wants to go," Bai Xun said.
Nanchun felt extremely relieved at this moment. The thorn that had been bothering him for so long was finally removed.
He looked at Bai Xun and asked softly, "She said in the letter...that I'm the only one in your heart...is that true? Or are you deliberately trying to scare her?"
Bai Xun held his face and said seriously: "Nanchun, I have always loved you!"
Nanchun opened her eyes wide and her heart was beating like thunder.
"I loved you before I married you. So, marrying you wasn't something I had to do, but something I longed for."
Even if there is no marriage, you must be mine.
Bai Xun thought so.
Nanchun's cheeks were burning hot.
To be honest, he found it hard to imagine that Bai Xun had always loved him.
Because in his memory, whether in the previous life or this life, Bai Xun had always been very cold to him, always looking like he didn't want to talk to anyone.
"I thought you hated me before. Haven't you always been cold and indifferent to me?" Nan Chun couldn't believe it.
"You hate me, right? That's why I don't dare to approach you rashly. But I have always been paying attention to you, and I go to school to see you." Bai Xun said gently.
Nanchun felt a little embarrassed.
In fact, he had always known that Bai Xun had never done anything to wrong him. Instead, it was his own inferiority complex that made him do bad things to Bai Xun.
Because of his work of searching for and guarding tombs, he was despised and hated by others.
Bai Xun is the complete opposite of him. He has a good family background, good looks, and is liked by everyone.
"I don't hate you, I'm just jealous. I'm sorry..." Nanchun buried her face in Bai Xun's shoulder and said sullenly.
Bai Xun curled the corners of his lips: "Why are you jealous of me?"
"I'm jealous of everything about you. I'm jealous of you having everything you want."
Bai Xun whispered in his ear: "I only want you."
Nanchun's face turned red.
He was both happy and a little overwhelmed.
"Want a kiss?"
Nanchun pouted and moved closer to Bai Xun.
Bai Xun was slightly startled, then laughed.
She kissed him like a stamp of approval.
