Chapter 208 You’re Most Important
After several hours have passed, Feng Xia Qi woke up and found himself stark naked, while sleeping beside him was Yue Bai Lian who fainted from being tormented by him.
Feng Xia Qi entire body gave off a murderous air. He didn’t expect to be caught in a woman’s scheme. This Qiao Yan Ran deserved to die! Feng Xia Qi gently picked up Yue Bai Lian and helped put on her clothes. This matter today took Feng Xia Qi by surprise. For many years, besides touching that tongfang* maid that one time, he didn’t touch another woman. Today was the first time touching a woman in many years. Feng Yi Xuan’s heart filled with guilt towards Yue Bai Lian.
(T/N: tongfang maid is a maid specifically reserved for a man to learn bed matters with)
Feng Xia Qi held Yue Bai Lian in his arms, sitting motionlessly as he waited. After some time has passed, Yue Bai Lian finally woke up.
As Yue Bai Lian stirred, she felt an intense pain in her body. It wasn’t that Feng Xia Qi didn’t know to have a tender heart for women, but because Feng Yi Xuan was under the control of the aphrodisiac, he couldn’t control himself so he relentlessly tormented Yue Bai Lian, making her faint.
Yue Bai Lian opened her eyes to an attractive face. That pair of fox-like eyes were filled with guilt and regret as they gazed at her. Yue Bai Lian shifted her body, noticing she was being held in Feng Xia Qi’s arms. She knew she couldn’t move so she didn’t act bashful.
“You’re awake?” Feng Xia Qi carried a cup of already cold tea to Yue Bai Lian’s lips and watched as she finished before saying, “Bai Lian, sorry!” Feng Xia Qi had never apologized to a woman before. Towards Yue Bai Lian, he was filled with apology.
Yue Bai Lian smiled. Actually, the moment when Feng Xia Qi took her, she cried, not only because of her pain but also because of her hopeless love. But now looking at Feng Xia Qi, Yue Bai Lian didn’t feel like it was so hard to accept.
“I’m fine!” Yue Bai Lian cracked a smile and pulled on Feng Xia Qi’s hand, saying, “We’re bound to have to pass this stage. This is good; otherwise, without today, who knows when we will step out of this. Xia Qi, you don’t need to feel guilty or ill at ease, neither of us does. We already talked it over didn’t we?”
Feng Xia Qi hugged Yue Bai Lian. Though he didn’t feel love for her, she gave him a feeling of family. Such a woman was difficult not to like. If he didn’t meet Lan You Nian, Feng Xia Qi felt he would fall in love with Yue Bai Lian. But there wasn’t “what if” in this world. He still doesn’t love Yue Bai Lian. Perhaps in this life he won’t fall in love with Yue Bai Lian, just like Yue Bai Lian won’t fall in love with him. But he was certain his feelings for Yue Bai Lian was much more intimate than friends, more like a family.
“Bai Lian, from now on, you’re my, Feng Yi Xuan’s, wife!” Feng Xia Qi said seriously, “There isn’t any consorts in fourth wangye manor, neither will there be in the future. This is my respect for you, not because of guilt, but because I can’t give you love, nor can you give me love. We will mutually respect and care for one another. That way, we can mutually support one another till the end of our lives!”
Yue Bai Lian was a little shocked by Feng Xia Qi’s words. She already prepared for the appearance of a lot of women in the manor after she married Feng Xia Qi. Because it wasn’t love, she could accept it. But hearing Feng Xia Qi’s vow, it meant they were family, family that cared for each other, partners who stood side by side-this was very good.
“I, Yue Bai Lian, will become you, Feng Yi Xuan’s, main consort. We will finish walking this lifetime. We will protect the one we want to protect!” For the first time, Yue Bai Lian’s smile was without any pressure, like a blooming white lotus, unusually beautiful and charming.
“Since I compromised you today, let’s have our wedding much earlier!” Feng Xia Qi set Yue Bai Lian who was feeling much better on the soft couch. After all, he’s possessed Yue Bai Lian’s body before marriage, so the vermillion virginity mark was now gone. If they didn’t marry early and someone was to know of it, who knows how they will slander Yue Bai Lian.
“Alright, we’ll just have simple wedding!” Yue Bai Lian said. It’s not because she didn’t value this marriage but that she really didn’t like such spectacles. For Yue Bai Lian, marriage was only a formality. She nor Feng Xia Qi cared for these meaningless things.
“Alright!”
This “alright” became an affection in history which people praised, an emperor and an empress’s sincere affection…

Under the reluctant gaze of Lan Jian Jun and others, Lan You Nian mounted Ming wang manor’s carriage that was heading out to Jiangnan. Though this carriage belonged to Ming wang manor, it didn’t have Ming wang manor’s insignia. Feng Yi Xuan had it made last month, just so he could go out with Nian Nian without exposing their identities, when they had time on their hands.
There weren’t many people in the entourage heading for Jiangnan. Lan You Nian brought Lan Qu and Lan Wu. Much earlier, Lan Ren and Lan Feng already departed for Jiangnan to search for the specific whereabouts of Heaven’s Tears Heart. As for Feng Yi Xuan, he only brought An Yi and An Si. But this was only on the surface. Feng Yi Xuan’s forces were immense, so there was nothing to worry about.
