Luo Jin’an raised his eyebrows and looked at Su Binglan after hearing her question. He thought she was mischievous. “Are you asking me to talk about her?”
Su Binglan lowered her head and said lowly, “l went through so much trouble to get here. 1 just wanted to ask, but you don’t want to tell me.”
Luo Jin’an knew she was feigning anger, but his heart still ached for her. “All right, I’ll tell you what you want.”
“Tell me about Lan Ruobing.”
“Do you honestly want to know?”
Su Binglan nodded. “Yes, yes!’
Luo Jin’an looked at her and said softly, “We grew up together and were childhood sweethearts, but we couldn’t stay together for long.
“l was always at the border, protecting the country and my home while she worked hard to protect the deceased royal’s mansion. We always encouraged and helped each other then. We were closer than family.”
“How did you feel about her?” Su Binglan was eager to know because she cared about Luo Jin’an.
“She was younger and didn’t consider feelings then. I think she felt the same way, right?” Luo Jin’an directed his question at Su Binglan.
Since Su Binglan listened attentively, she did not think much and instinctively nodded. However, she regained her senses and realized what she had nodded to. “Y-You tricked me into nodding!’
Luo Jin’an laughed softly, his voice moving as a clear zither. He noticed his wife was about to get angry and reached out to hug and coax her, “All right, don’t be mad. 1 didn’t try to trick you. I suspected you already knew my thoughts when you asked me.”
“What do you mean?”
Luo Jin’an tidied Su Binglan’s hair. “Your eyes say everything. You’re just short of saying what’s on your mind.”
“Really?” Su Binglan grew a little suspicious. Everyone else had told her they could never read her emotions.
However, she did not know she behaved differently in front of Luo Jin’an than others. She could not help but feel more relaxed around him. Her trust in him came from her bones; she would reveal her emotions without restrictions.
Her eyes would say it all, even if she remained quiet.
Luo Jin’an nodded. “It’s true.”
He was always in a good mood whenever he saw his wife. Only she could heal his heart. Some things could not be cured by medicine, and only Su Binglan could make him feel relaxed. Luo Jin’an felt the warmth of home wherever his wife was.
“Then, what did my eyes tell you?’
Luo Jin’an lowered his head to look at Su Binglan. His eyes were profound and charming as they locked onto Su Binglan’s. Then he slowly said, “You remembered your past and returned to yourself.”
That sentence was significant, and Su Binglan’s entire body shook when she heard it. Her eyes widened as she thought, ‘In that case, he knows everything.’
“Do you already know?”
“l guessed a little,” Luo Jin’an said calmly, “But I’m only sure now.”
Su Binglan observed his expression and knew he was serious. “You’re too smart. I can’t hide anything from you.”
Luo Jin’an tapped her head, saying, “So, did you want me to know or not?”
His question stumped Su Binglan. ‘Did 1 want him to know?’ “Of course, I wanted you to know. Do you find it strange?”
“No,” Luo Jin’an said gently, “You’re just you.”
“So you know I was once Lan Ruobing.”
Luo Jin’an’s lips turned into a mesmerizing smile. “Yes, 1 know. I’m always worried about you, especially since you weren’t in good health in the past. Still, you comforted me.
“You said your mother told you that your soul was incomplete and you would become another person one day. Only then would your soul be complete. When you built Blue Mountain Academy, 1 remember you saying it was an opportunity for us to reunite there.”
Su Binglan seemed slightly confused when she heard that. She had a vague impression of it. After all, she had only recovered half of Lan Ruobings memories, so she would not remember every detail.
When she heard what her husband said, she frowned and carefully considered it. Suddenly, she remembered saying those things to Luo Jin’an. She had once dreamed of Su Teng Village when she was Lan Ruobing.
Lan Ruobing dreamed she had changed bodies, but it was still her. She also felt her body was too weak then, and she slept for longer and longer. Hence, she built Blue Mountain Academy there.
She had secretly made many preparations and also said something to Lan Ruozhu. So, Lan Ruozhu was unsurprised when he discovered his sister had reincarnated as Su Binglan. “Do you remember what I said?”
“Of course I do.”
Wei Jin’an and Lan Ruobing were close friends who grew up together. Since they were just children, they did not think of relationships.
Lan Ruobing only developed affection toward Luo Jin’an after reincarnating as
Su Binglan. Su Binglan had fallen into a river and awakened from her
unconscious state after Luo Jin’an saved her.
She had only treated Wei Jin’an as an elder brother when she was Lan Ruobing.
‘l fell into the river, awakened, and discovered I wanted to be good to him, worry about him, and discovered he had stolen my heart.’
They no longer felt like family but a married couple. Perhaps it was because she had forgotten Lan Ruobings memories.
Lan Ruobing was already Luo Jin’an’s wife when she reincarnated as Su Binglan, so she gradually developed feelings for him. Even so, she could not explain things like relationships. Therefore, she did not need to be jealous of herself.
Luo Jin’an noticed his wife was in deep thought and hugged her. Then he whispered, “Bing, I’m thrilled we’re together now.”
Su Binglan leaned into his embrace and felt his heart beating. She took in his unique aura and said, “I’m thrilled too.”
‘Fortunately, he’s still alive.’
Luo Jin’an said, “Let me protect you this time.”
He did not want Su Binglan to suffer as Lan Ruobing did.
“All right,” Su Binglan said softly. Although she agreed, she wanted to protect him, too. She would not let anyone hurt him and help him avenge his family this time.
The couple hugged each other and shared their warmth. After a while, Luo Jin’an reluctantly let her go slightly. Then he softly asked, “Are you tired? Do you want to rest a while?”
Su Binglan shook her head. “I’m not tired. You rest while I cook something for you.”
She got out of bed and was about to busy herself when Luo Jin’an grabbed her hand and said, “Let my subordinates cook. You rest.”
“But they can’t make the food I can.” Su Binglan blinked.. “Don’t you want food from your hometown?”
