Chapter 33 - My Condolences
Xue Jingyu was absentminded for a short while, but after a bit, he noticed that Li Moyun had an abnormally black expression on his face.
Thinking about what he had just said, he made a guess, "you look so upset, is your wife not treating you well?"
"She is hunting rabbits," Li Moyun said, annoyed. It was true that he had complicated feelings right now. He felt slightly guilty for not reuniting Xue Jingyu with Bai Rouyun, but at the same time, he did not want his wife to have excessive communication with any males other than him.
Also, this guy was so worried about her, how could he claim that there was no love between them?
The more he thought of this, the more upset he became, and the uglier his expression became.
Just as he was about to say something, the door to the study opened, and a beauty ran in. "Li Moyun, you didn't wake me up! Why did you let me sleep this long? I need to learn how to concoct pills!"
The voice filled with grievances made both Li Moyun and Xue Jingyu stunned.
Li Moyun quickly regained his senses, and he went to the door from where Bai Rouyun entered. One of her hands was rubbing her eye, making her seem as if she was still half asleep.
She looked around and saw that Li Moyun was talking with someone in the communication basin, and her curiosity got the better of her.
She strolled towards them, completely ignoring the ugly face of Li Moyun. He half-heartedly tried to block her, but she easily bypassed him.
"Brother..." Just as she was about to call out Brother Rabbit, Li Moyun domineeringly clasped his hand on her waist and brought her to his embrace.
"My dear wife, don't look at other men when I am present." He was domineering, and he did not allow her to resist at all. His eyes were glaring at Xue Jingyu, who was shocked as he looked at Li Moyun's wife.
There was a bit of recognition within his eyes; those beautiful eyes reminded him so much of Bai Rouyun.
"This is your wife?" Xue Jingyu asked with narrowed eyes, and when he saw how possessive Li Moyun was, he knew the question was already answered, but he still asked it.
"Yes."
"What is her name?"
"Bai Rouyun."
"Bai Rouyun?"
"Is there a problem?" Li Moyun growled, his mood was horrible. He had planned not to let the two of them recognize each other, but it seemed that even his plans had been destroyed.
"Let me see her." Xue Jingyu was stubborn, but so was Li Moyun. "She is my wife," he grumbled. Bai Rouyun, who was within his embrace, was also complaining; her small fists were continually hammering his chest, her mouth was cursing at him.
Seeing that both of them were so anxious, Li Moyun gritted his teeth and released Bai Rouyun.
"Brother Rabbit!" she cried out, stunning Xue Jingyu so much that his eyes were widening in shock, and his hands started to tremble.
"Sister Fox?" he asked hesitatingly. Although he was sure that it was her, he was not able to tell how or why she had suddenly appeared in his life again.
"Brother Rabbit, it's me!" she said happily as she moved to the basin. "I haven't seen your stinky face for so long, have you already forgotten about me?"
"Why are you looking like that?" Xue Jingyu could not help but ask. Although she had been attractive before, it was a far cry from how she looked now. She was simply a breathtakingly beautiful woman now; even he felt his heart stir until he remembered who she was, then it returned to normal in an instant.
"Bad man!" Bai Rouyun was angered, "are you saying I am not pretty? Am I not nice?"
"Very nice," he answered dryly, so dry that one would instantly doubt his words.
"You don't mean it!" Bai Rouyun's cheeks were puffed up, her eyes glistening with anger, but both Li Moyun and Xue Jingyu felt that she was merely looking like a cute little pet. There was no threat from her at all.
"Come here," Li Moyun raised his hand and gestured for Bai Rouyun to return to his side.
Knowing that she had interrupted their conversation, she scratched her head embarrassedly and obediently walked to Li Moyun's side.
Seeing his friend, who was usually as disobedient and loud as a tyrannosaurus, be obedient and cute, Xue Jingyu was deep in thought.
Then it suddenly hit his mind. "You two are married?!"
"Yes," Li Moyun answered elegantly, the corners of his lips rose slightly as he gently and affectionately rubbed Bai Rouyun's head.
Bai Rouyun's lips twitched. They were married yes, but they hadn't done anything a married couple would do. Still, the ceremony was real, and thus, she could not deny it.
Seeing that Bai Rouyun did not deny the statement, Xue Jingyu's eyes widened in shock, and then they landed on Li Moyun. "You have my condolences," he said gravely.
"What do you mean?!" This time Bai Rouyun was so angry that her eyes were ablaze.
"Marrying me is a fortune; I am a treasure! You make it sound as if he had died! You bad man, I don't remember my innocent Brother Rabbit having such a poisonous tongue!"
"Ah, it is indeed Sister Fox. Your temper is the same as always. How can anyone live with it?"
Bai Rouyun said nothing, she just began sulking, when she suddenly felt an arm reach out and embrace her waist, dragging her into the warm embrace of Li Moyun.
"Don't insult my wife," he said dotingly. "She is the cutest and most outstanding woman in the world. No one can compare to her."
