Marlene's heart skipped a beat while a cold chill instantly runs through her spine. Her face turned pale but she slightly lowered her head to hide it.
"Things had changed. We have a son that we need to consider more than ourselves." Marlene faintly answered, yet she cannot look straight on Xiao XiRan's eyes like she was hiding her expressions.
Marlene's response makes sense, but for Xiao XiRan, he can feel that his beloved woman is hiding something from him since she can't even look straight in the eyes.
It is something that Marlene never did to Xiao XiRan when they were together; her gaze, voice, and expression when she speaks to him, it is all gone.
Xiao XiRan narrowed his eyes; he was staring intently at Marlene's beautiful face. He felt suspicious that his wife has changed into someone he cannot recognize.
'Behavior can be changed somehow, but not like this. Three years are too short to lose her usual attitude that she's been living with for a thousand of years.' Xiao XiRan said in his mind.
The idea that Marlene's attitude had changed into something else other than her usual dominant self, anger began to envelop Xiao XiRan's heart. 'Something wrong happened to her.' he said in his mind.
With his raging heart, Xiao XiRan did not ask further, there are a lot of ways for him to make Marlene speak, and that's something that he can only convince himself to calm down.
At the same moment, Xiao XiRan can't help feeling that Marlene doesn't trust or believe in him. Or maybe because she knew what he would do if he finds her being harmed?
Of course! Xiao XiRan would not think twice to punish and kill the witches who harmed his wife. He will destroy Medieval if he found out that Marlene suffered because of them.
Xiao XiRan may not able to enter Medieval before, but that was because he didn't want to add more anger on Marlene's heart if he creates another chaos on her land.
After all, Marlene mentioned that without her, Medieval will be in danger which Xiao XiRan didn't understand why. He can only wait for her to return until they ban him to take the test.
'If I wasn't banned and received your words, I would never give up getting you back to me.' Xiao XiRan claimed in his mind that made him sighed.
Marlene: "…" Why is he sighing? It's so not him…
Marlene finally turned her head to look at Xiao XiRan's scarlet eyes after she felt him sigh, but he didn't say a word. Instead, he just pulled her with him to leave the dining area.
Watching the other couple leaving; followed by Zhiyuan, Li FuJin turned YuYan to face him, staring at her adorable face; but she did not even look at him.
YuYan seemed in deep thoughts, but Li FuJin suddenly pulled her closer and holds the back of her head while he bent down to kiss her passionately.
YuYan: "…"
YuYan finally came back to her senses after being in a daze after thinking about her big brother's situation. It was like a knife that keeps on stabbing her heart.
Nevertheless, Li FuJin's gentle and passionate kiss made YuYan respond, then he slowly placed her arms around his neck and continue to kiss her until she felt dizzy for lacking out of air.
"We will find ways for them to stay with each other." Li FuJin uttered with his cold voice while he keeps on giving her small kisses. He knew that YuYan would surely think that way.
Li FuJin's words were like a spring breeze that slowly calmed her aching heart. But YuYan didn't expect for him to know what she was thinking.
Her baby big brother did not hesitate to save her from dying, despite that Xiao XiRan has a child; he sacrificed his life for YuYan to live. Then why can't she do the same for his happiness?
