Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Duan Yanhao could sense the sincerity and worry in Bai Yaoyao’s words and expression.
A wave of emotions surged in his heart. He almost drowned in happiness. “Don’t worry. It’s been so many years. I have already gotten used to it. They won’t dare to make things hard for you either. I won’t let you suffer.”
“You don’t need to care actually. I will be able to handle them, no matter how strong they are.” Bai Yaoyao struck a few poses, which made even Duan Yanhao stunned.
“Weren’t you worried just now?”
“Didn’t you say just now not to worry? I feel assured with your words now.”
Seeing Bai Yaoyao’s clear, beautiful eyes, Duan Yanhao’s heart skipped a beat. He suddenly came to a realization and burst out laughing. So it was because she had his support, that’s why she felt like she could do anything fearlessly now.
“Don’t worry, even if you caused trouble, I will also help you clean up.”
“Okay.”
The feeling of being trusted and indulged in by him was really nice. She really could not wait to go to the Duan family to try her hand at a family fight.
Of course, this family fighting was referring to Duan Yanhao’s uncles and the uncles’ relatives.
“If I become too insolent, will it affect you?”
“It won’t. Just do whatever you want. No one can stop you. I will back you up.”
As if he sensed the ambiguity in his words, Duan Yanhao added, “Of course, you must be by my side and in my line of sight. You cannot leave me and can only like me.”
Bai Yaoyao’s eyes curved into crescents as she replied good-naturedly, “Okay.”
Seeing Bai Yaoyao’s complexion regain its color, Duan Yanhao could finally feel at ease. “It’s the rainy season now. Do your wounds still hurt? Why don’t you let me take a look?”
Bai Yaoyao’s face flushed as she turned away. “You can’t look.”
Duan Yanhao realized what was going on and said, “Yaoyao, you will be mine next time. You won’t need to avoid me by then.”
Bai Yaoyao’s face changed immediately. She did not let him see because she did not want his heart to ache badly every time he saw her wounds.
“I’m really fine. Look at how nervous you are.”
“Yaoyao, Country X will be united now, so there will be no more wars after this. There’s a hot spring valley in the South. It’s as warm as springtime throughout the year there. Whenever the weather is bad in the North, I will take you there for a holiday.”
Seeing how seriously Duan Yanhao said that, Bai Yaoyao’s heart trembled. Why did she feel like she was an ancient concubine being pampered specially by the emperor?
“Duan Yanhao, you will spoil me like this.”
“I will gladly do it.”
Bai Yaoyao was elated, but it did not show on her face. Even if he only said a few words like these to her, she would feel really sweet in her heart as well.
She never imagined that she would be treated so well like this.
“If you are the emperor in ancient times, I will be your evil concubine.”
“You’re not my evil concubine. You are my wife, the only one I will have.”
These words might sound mushy to others, but to Bai Yaoyao, these were words she had not heard in a long time. They sounded so pleasing to the ears and warmed her heart.
Even though her body was covered with wounds and hurt everywhere, she still felt warm. That warmth he gave her enveloped her whole body.
“Why are you so serious? I’m just kidding. But even if we’re in ancient times and you’re the emperor, you can only have me, okay?”
Duan Yanhao’s gaze trembled slightly. This was the first time Bai Yaoyao said such words to him. Her words were possessive, and it made him overjoyed. This showed that she cared about him.
Duan Yanhao replied seriously, “Okay.”
Bai Yaoyao giggled. However, when she did that, she started to cough again. This time, she could not stop coughing. Her whole body trembled while her face started to turn pale.
Seeing Bai Yaoyao like this drained all the color from Duan Yanhao’s face. He immediately carried her up in his arms to bring her to the military doctor.
