491 A Good Man (2/2)

”Silly! If that man is able to protect you this well and his identity was being protected to that extent, his identity must be precious. I am certain that that man must be a part of the royal family... As for what his title is, we need to find out first because I'm not sure about it as well --- besides, we have never try to know more about the complicated relationship in the Shu Kingdom's royalty...” Yao Ling trailed off at the last part when she saw that Yao Ying's face was getting paler. It seemed like he rejected that idea subconsciously.

She sighed because she understood her husband really well. They both yearned for a simple life but it seemed like their identities wouldn't let them ah~! In her heart, she also resisted the idea of having a relationship with the royal family. After all, she had never heard anything good about them.

They could kill each other even though they were brothers... Admitting their relationship with them would certainly make them being pulled into the intrigue in the palace. Yao Ling didn't want their child to live in that kind of environment, however, they were also helpless in this matter.

”Or... do you want to forget about your past? If you want to do that, we can just run away from here and leave somewhere else... start over a new life...?” Yao Ling tried to ease the tension by making a joke --- after all, they had reached this step and it was quite impossible to do that.

How could they abandon Wang Fu which took them in? Li Guang had already met them and they knew that he wouldn't let them go easily. They knew that storm had come to their way and needed to have a preparation for that.

Yao Ying's mouth slightly curled up when he imagined Yao Ling's words. ”Impossible! However, it's a beautiful imagination...” He knew that she tried to cheer him up. He suddenly stood up despite his weak condition and slapped his own face quite hard.

Yao Ling jumped up in surprise and asked, ”What are you doing?”

Yao Ying grinned and answered, ”Just trying to sober up! I need to be strong for the three of us...” His eyes landed on her belly. ”To create a safe environment for our child, I need to clean up my past! I don't know what kind of responsibilities that Li Guang was talking about, but I have to face it sooner or later! I don't want people to chase us and kill us once more!”

Yao Ling nodded in agreement. Somehow, his current expression made her feel deeply entranced even more. She sighed softly... thinking that Jiu Lan certainly chose a good man for her, even though they actually didn't have another choice back then.

Yao Ying hugged Yao Ling and said, ”Thank you for being here with me!”

Yao Ling hugged him back even tighter. ”We are husband and wife! Why did you thank me ah~?!” However, she could erase the smile on her lips. ”I will handle A Hundred Words' matter... You can just focus on your health first...”

Even though his life wasn't endangered just like what Li Guang said, he still needed to pay attention to his headache. Yao Ling needed to give him a constant treatment from now on, of course, with a bit of her power. However, she wouldn't tell Yao Ying about this because the latter would certainly refuse it. She needed to do it carefully so that Yao Ying wouldn't notice it --- the latter was sensitive to the fluctuation of her power.

However, she didn't know that even though Yao Ying didn't notice what she had done due to his current state of mind... someone else noticed her power...
