Chapter 281 - Winning Logic (1/2)

Lei Xing rolled her eyes but begrudgingly, she had to agree that the Emperor had the right idea on the issue.

It was not like they could go catch Doctor Lou and force him to explain anything. First of all, there was no way they could easily apprehend or threaten someone who could do the things he did. Not to mention, Doctor Lou himself had even told her that ”no one in the universe” could force him to do something he did not want to.

What's more, who knows what he would do to them if they actually even attempted to torture him.

{...Not that I'm up for torture, but I doubt it would even work on him...Knowing him, he'll probably turn it into a crazy game of sorts (≖_≖ )...}

For one thing, they would have to find him first. The Emperor had once sent out an extensive search for the old man but could not even find his trail...All in all, it would be a pointless stupid effort.

Lei Xing sighed, she could kick all this under the rug as the Emperor's suggested. After all, she was never the sort to bother about things beyond her but then again, nothing had ever affected her like this so it was different. Moreover, it was different when she knew a way to possibly get answers.

Therefore, she could not just ignore it. She would still try to question Doctor Lou, who knows she might catch him in one of his sparse truthful moods. She would prefer a face to face encounter where she might be able to get him riled enough and he could not outrightly ignore with the way he did with the bracelet. So tomorrow she would check to see if he was back...Although she doubted it.

Regardless, she would still try later with the bracelet as well. For now, he was not responding and it was very late so there was nothing else to be done. Lei Xing closed her eyes and sighed.

{...What a crazy day...When I find you doc, you will have to answer some questions or else - Well, please just answer the questions! I need answers T_T)...}

Xiao Ruo eventually came over to inform the couple that dinner was ready. Apparently, knowing that Lei Xing would be hungry, the Emperor ordered the meal to be prepared earlier, to be quickly reheated as soon as Lei Xing woke up.

The couple returned to their bedroom and ate in silence, each with their own thoughts. Since this was her first meal of the day, Lei Xing happily gulped down the meal.

But obviously her mind was still bothered by their conversation earlier, because as soon as the table was cleared and the servants withdrew, she turned to the Emperor and skeptically asked, ”So you really don't have any thoughts on this issue at all? Not even on the dream and shared memory stuff? No?...”

The Emperor glanced at her and as he looked at her expectant expression, he was reminded of a certain thought, he smiled and then said, ”Well... I did have a certain thought that night about the dream -”

”What is it?” Lei Xing asked, when the Emperor suddenly stopped talking and knit his brows.

”Nothing.” The Emperor swiftly responded, smiling again.

Lei Xing frowned, ”Nothing? You were going to say something just now...Just say it, it can't be any weirder than what's already happened.”

The Emperor knit his brows in thought again and then finally said, ”Well, I thought the dream was strange, so vivid that I thought I could actually still smell the peach blossoms for a bit after waking... but I later dismissed it as nothing, I was simply hazy from the dream...”

”Hmm...” Lei Xing went and knit her brows in thought, ”It's all very strange...so we can't discount anything...”

The Emperor showed a wry smile, picked up his teacup, and sipped his tea, facing forward. Thankfully she had bought that excuse.

He could not tell her the true thoughts he had that night, the thoughts about how he had dreamt up their children. That he had thought how adorable their little Xing er' would be or that he had been wanting to know Lei Xing's thoughts on the giving them their names.

That night, he had thought he could discuss it with her in the morning. But reality proved to be very different from expectations and he had woken up to overhear her asking for birth control and to her not wanting children...for now.

Moreover, he had agreed to not pressure her and was willing to wait until her own time. Therefore, he could not tell her these thoughts.

Lei Xing obviously continued to ponder over the issue at hand, ”One you could say is a coincidence, but three, four? There's definitely something going on...And even if I can't be sure about those celestial bodies and stuff in the dream. But then what are the odds of two people having the same dream on the same night?”

The Emperor smirked at her and responded, ”Well, given the activit-”

”Don't even try to say it has something that has to do with ”love” and stuff.” Lei Xing promptly cut in, narrowing her eyes at him, ”It's not normal, even the most ”in-love” couples don't experience things like this -”

”Have you been in - Well, have you ”thought” you might have been in love with someone else before?” The Emperor asked with a raised eyebrow, still smirking.
