She let him hold her without any struggle, waiting for his explanation.
But he never spoke, only buried his head on her chest, motionless.
She finally couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Don't you want to say something to me?"
Zhu Yan still buried his head in her chest and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, I really don't want to leave you for even a moment, but now, Beiming Kingdom is bullying me, Xiliang. If I don't fight back, I won't let you go." If they pay the price for this, then there will be a second Beiming and a third Beiming in the future. I will never allow Xiliang to become a weak target in the eyes of neighboring countries."
Xia Yuanqiu pushed Zhu Yan away, looked at those stunned peach blossom eyes, and said coldly: "In your opinion, am I unhappy because you want to leave me to fight? In your eyes, I, Xia Yuanqiu, Are you such a ignorant woman? What makes me angry is that you made a decision in your mind but didn't tell me. Could it be that you plan to go alone? Haha -" She shook her head and turned around to get out of the car.
Zhu Yan's stunned mind finally calmed down, and she hurriedly chased the carriage. Xia Yuanqiu was walking very fast. She was upset and didn't want to argue with him anymore, which would only make things worse.
Zhu Yan kept chasing her until he reached the palace garden before catching up with her.
"Yuan Qiu, please listen to my explanation." He stopped her and looked at the cold, frost-covered face, feeling very anxious.
Xia Yuanqiu raised her eyes and looked at the tall and handsome man under the moonlight. She always thought that the person who knew her Xia Yuanqiu best in the world must be Zhu Yan, it must be him.
"Okay, I'll listen to your explanation!" She didn't dodge anymore and looked straight into those beautiful and flawless eyes without blinking.
Zhu Yan hurriedly said: "Don't be angry first, I, I-" He didn't know how to explain it. The battle had been decided in his mind early in the morning. He should have told her earlier, but he still couldn't open his mouth. , he could never forget that in the autumn of that year, he and her parted in Xiaoyuan. That parting was almost their eternal farewell. He never dreamed of experiencing such a parting again, so he could not open his mouth and wanted to find a suitable one. She had the opportunity to tell her again, but she didn't expect that today when the emperor woke up and asked about it, he blurted out, forgetting that Yuan Qiu was standing next to him.
Seeing Zhu Yan, who had always been calm and composed, become so helpless, Xia Yuanqiu's heart that had just hardened suddenly softened seven points, and her eyes when looking at him softened a bit. She said: "I know you didn't mean it. If you want to hide it from me, I don’t care, but there is one thing!”
Zhu Yan was stunned and said: "What?"
"You must never leave me and go to the battlefield alone, never." He never let her go into danger alone. He stood by her side at all times. He was her solid backing and her spiritual pillar. Now, he was going to go to war. On the battlefield, he tried to leave her behind, but there was no way.
Zhu Yan felt warm in his heart, as if just because of her words, his limbs were immediately filled with strength and warmed to the core.
He held her in his arms, gently rubbed the top of her head with his chin, and said with a smile, "I thought you would never pay attention to me again. I was really scared just now."
Xia Yuanqiu stretched out his fist and hit his chest, and said angrily: "If you dare to run away, I will never pay attention to you again."
He didn't answer directly, he just hugged her tightly as if he were the only treasure in the world, unwilling to let her go.
