Da Li Temple - Chapter 79.2
Chapter 79.2
Momentary Farewell
So he stopped wriggling, held that jade wrist, and gently kissed it over and over again to coax the crying person. When Lailuo saw the situation, she felt her teeth sour and silently turned around. Then, she suddenly remembered that now she had entered the palace, then the dog Emperor —
Between thoughts, she rolled her eyes and moved her feet slightly.
??
“Thousand Bull Guards,” Lord Su’s voice behind her, as calm as water. “Send this person back to Da Li Temple and watch her closely.”
??
Lailuo: “…… “Nothing can escape Lord Su’s eyes.
The moon was in the middle of the sky, and everything returned to peace.
??
Su Moyi took Lin Wanqing to Changxin Palace, where he lived before he was sixteen. It was still vacant, but the Empress Dowager occasionally ordered someone to clean it. It was still quite neat.
??
Lin Wanqing was cold and tired. After soaking in hot water and drinking a bowl of ginger soup to get rid of the cold, she fell asleep. This sleep went straight to the middle of the night. The earth dragon in the chamber was very hot. Lin Wanqing woke up with a thin layer of sweat on her body, eliminating all the cold from the evening.
??
The maids who stayed in the hall to take care of her saw her wake up and hurriedly served her to rinse her mouth and eat. They said that Heir Su had specially instructed her not to be disturbed when she fell asleep and that if she woke up, she should eat first.
??
Lin Wanqing was also really hungry. After drinking three bowls of porridge, she finally remembered to ask where Su Moyi was. The maid took her to another chamber right next to hers.
??
It was Su Moyi himself who opened the door. He looked like he hadn’t rested yet, and the slightly loosened lapels of a plain-colored robe revealed the beautiful lines of his collarbone and a small portion of his chest. Seeing Lin Wanqing come, he was surprised. He froze and realized that the maid traveling with her was stealing glances at himself with reddened cheeks, so he gave a sideways glance, pulled Lin Wanqing inside, and closed the door.
??
Su Moyi’s commonly used incense filled the room; the scent was fresh, like cedar mixed with green grass. However, something else that didn’t blend well seemed hidden underneath this scent.
??
Lin Wanqing frowned.
“You’re hurt?” She asked, her eyes landing on the mess of white gauze on the couch. She marched over and pulled it over with one hand. As expected, there were still scattered blood stains on it.
??
Su Moyi wanted to go and stop her but ended up reaching out too quickly and pulling on the wound, causing him to grunt out in pain. Only then did Lin Wanqing notice that under the robe, circles of gauze wrapped his waist and abdomen.
??
“How did it happen?” She reached out to lift his clothes, but Su Moyi caught her halfway.
??
“It’s fine,” He answered, “The Imperial Doctor has seen it. It’s a superficial wound.” After saying this, he wanted to embrace the person.
??
Lin Wanqing refused and broke free. She stared at him and asked again.
??
Su Moyi could only honestly explain that he got stabbed while saving the Emperor. After saying this, he didn’t give her time to react and directly snapped the person into his arms, brought her to his lap, and sat on the couch.
??
Fearing pulled open his wound, Lin Wanqing dared not resist and could only yield to him.
??
If you wish to hold a beauty, you naturally have to appreciate it. Su Moyi didn’t say anything for a long time, silently looking at her face sincerely as if he wanted to examine her heart.
??
Lin Wanqing got goosebumps from his staring. She dropped her eyes and dared not look back until she heard him say happily, “You hugged me today and cried so hard.”
??
“……” Lin Wanqing’s neck stood on end; she couldn’t help but think back to how she hugged him and cried; for a moment, she was ashamed and annoyed.
But Su Moyi was unconcerned, looking at her small, scarlet face, and continued, “When you fell asleep, you pulled my hand, not allowing me to leave. To wait for you to sleep, I almost lost blood and died.”
??
“…… ” Lin Wanqing, who had always been confident in her sleeping character, began to doubt Lord Su’s character at this moment. One must know that this person has always done anything to achieve his goal. However, Lord Su today was very unusual, from beginning to end, only stating some facts that make her blush and give her no place to hide, never revealing his fox’s tail.
??
Lin Wanqing couldn’t stand it and asked, “What do you mean?”
??
Su Moyi laughed. Under the candle flame, his eyes were crystal bright, like the roaming stars that had unintentionally fallen into the sky. “I should ask this sentence,” He said lovingly. “What does Miss Lin mean by this? Have you taken a liking to me and are ready to give your body?”
??
“Jingche ……” The woman in his arms abruptly hugged him, her face resting on the nape of his neck, her breath burning hot, “I like you.”
??
Su Moyi was stunned. This sudden confession makes him float, like falling into the clouds, without the slightest realistic feeling, but that fragrant, soft body in his arms was. At this moment, she nestled in his chest, depending on him.
??
“Then …… how much do you like me?” He asked, his voice trembling a little.
??
“Very- very much.” With a rare childishness, she said, “The kind – I like you for the rest of my life.”
??
His heart missed a beat, and Su Moyi suddenly felt his throat tighten. The person in his arms did not intend to let him off this way. Holding his hand, she continued, “So, you must honor the words you said, ‘we will never separate from each other forever and ever’ — you are not allowed to…”
??
“Qingqing,” He called her gently. “I have always been there, never left. If you need me, I will always be there.” He paused, his gaze falling onto Lin Wanqing’s slightly aggrieved face, and sighed. “Before, I was in the wrong, pushing you too hard. I forget to think from your perspective; I won’t do that in the future.” He smiled, tenderly stroking the hair at her temples, and said softly, “I will try to give you more security so that you can feel at ease and don’t have to be afraid or concerned when you’re around me.”
??
“I will become your Jingche first before a court official.” He paused and gripped her hand hard. “So, don’t avoid me.”
