Beichen acknowledged!
Then, Whitesnow also left!
Although there were many red lanterns on the long dark path, it still gave off a strange feeling. Bai Qian wrapped his clothes around himself as he listened to the palace maids and eunuchs respectfully bow to her, one voice after another. The feeling seemed to come from above, from the ancient and ancient place, but it was also extremely bustling.
In the end, he was the arrogant one in the mortal world!
Suddenly, Bai Qian stopped in his tracks and turned around to look. In the middle of the wooden door, Bei Chen Han's frowning face, which had always been expressionless, was clearly visible. Even from a distance, it was clear that all his expressions were frozen in place!
Just like that, an idea stabbed into his mind without any warning.
Bai Qian's entire body froze. Could it be, could it be, actually, that …
The wooden door was completely closed, and even Bei Chen Han could not see it!
Actually, Bei Chen Han's love for Ning'er was — love?
As this thought appeared in her mind, her eyes widened as if she had seen a ghost. She found it hard to believe.
Bei Chen Han's love — her Na'er!
This thought slowly froze in his mind. Then — Rooting, sprouting!
Bei Chen Han really loved Na'er.
At this moment, Bai Qian was completely sure. As he looked at the tightly shut wooden door, his eyes were filled with complex emotions.
Otherwise, how could she explain the things that had happened in the past few days? Why would Beichen definitely not let his Na'er kill the Third Marquis, why would he imprison Na'er in the Imperial Palace so that no one would be able to have any contact with her, even as an older sister, she would not know. Also, when she miscarried, shouldn't this man who loved her run away to stay by her side, instead of being like what he said, being a mere female slave and an outsider?
However, this man who loved him so much that he could not extricate himself had no idea about it! A sneer suddenly appeared on his pale face, and it was also true that he had previously been humiliated to the point of surviving because of his embarrassing status. But now, since he was standing at the highest position, obtaining everything he wanted, erasing his shameful past, how could he so easily let a person completely overturn the concept of growing in his flesh and blood, rooted in his bone marrow, and that was simply slapping himself in the mouth!
The corners of his mouth curled up even more. His cold smile was even colder than the snow in winter. It was as if he was a completely different person compared to the white snow on the street back then!
Time had allowed her to grow in the blink of an eye, and the unprepared truth and injuries had forced her to face reality, completely putting away her gentleness and kindness. Because, she was the older sister, the older sister of Na'er, then, she would fulfill her duty as a younger sister and properly protect her younger sister!
Yes!
The first time she met Beichen, she had to admit that there was a kind of heartbeat, a familiar feeling, the most primitive throbbing of the heart.
She had no choice but to deny it, when Bei Chen Han hugged her and told her about their past, she also had a strong hope that God would appear and remind her of that period of time, that way she could at least comfort this man who had suffered so much.
However, no matter what, she had never thought that at that time, when the two of them were tightly hugging each other, the story of the past had turned out to be the only thing in her possession that could be used now!
No matter how much he subconsciously loved him, he wouldn't break that deep-rooted belief to admit that he loved him. He didn't just treat him like a pet or a slave.
He could only make use of it. The deep injuries that he had been hurt by had been carved into his heart one by one. No matter how much he loved someone, he was still obstinately unwilling to give up!
It could only be this way!
Her fair eyes instantly lit up with a resolute light!
Because this was the only thing she could use, she had to use it!
He was now regretting his decision to agree to Qian'Er's request. Just thinking about it, if he were to continue staying by Xi Ling's side for a long time, then it would be very uncomfortable for him.
Thinking up to here, the Duke of Beichen became even more agitated and restless. This was a little thing that he had raised with his own hands, a little thing that he had personally taught her, there was nothing to say about it. No matter what she wanted him to do, she could always do it perfectly, she could not find anything inappropriate about it.
If he couldn't bear to have such a good little thing, then the others must want it too, just like that damned Duke Bei Chen! At the thought of the Duke of Beichen, Beichen's anger immediately surged. He actually dared to have thoughts on his son, that was courting death. He did not have any regrets towards killing the Duke of Beichen, and he regretted not causing him any more pain in death.
Stealing from him? He was simply too impatient, too ignorant!
Just when he was wondering why did he agree to Bai Qian, when he saw this scene, his heart was finally at ease.
"Damn. You damned ugly thing, did you do that on purpose? You want to wipe something off? Even the dust is on it? What are you wiping?" Xi Ling pointed at the railing and scolded Su Nuo, "Look, look. It's still here. You ugly bastard can't think that I let you come here to eat and drink, right?"
Su Nuo held the rag in one hand and then looked up at Xi Ling. Her face did not change much, just like a child's parents.
When Bai Qian followed Bei Chen Han here and saw this scene, his eyebrows creased for a moment. However, he did not show any obvious reaction. He only called out softly, "Nore."
Su Nuo turned her head and saw Whitesnow standing there. A smile immediately appeared on her small face and she ran towards Whitesnow with a cloth in her hand. She happily hugged Whitesnow and shouted, "Sister, sister!"
Bai Qian also put her arm around her and gently caressed her hair. The smile on her face was very gentle. Bei Chen Han stood there and looked at Su Nuo. When he saw Su Nuo's brilliant smile, he was stunned. It was as though he had seen a thing that should not exist in this world, but was actually in front of him.
That kind of smile was completely clean. As long as he appeared, he would reveal that smile. In fact, as long as he extended his hand, he would be able to touch that smile. However, now …
Bei Chenghan's expression did not look good. Even now, his Nono did not even look at him directly. It was as if he had never even noticed his arrival, just like the air.
Su Nuo had hugged enough, so she let go of Bai Qian and was about to walk inside while holding her hand. This time, Bei Chen Han's face was completely black. Seeing that Su Nuo was about to leave, he coughed loudly.
Upon hearing the voice, Su Nuo turned around, and Bai Qian and Xi Ling also looked over. However, when Su Nuo saw that it was Bei Chen Han, a look of displeasure appeared in her eyes that was originally smiling, but she only shot him a glance.
A wave of anger surged up, accompanied by an inexplicable sense of discomfort. Bei Chen Han took a step forward unconsciously, and yelled with displeasure: "Xiao'er!"
Su Nuo was happily chatting with Bai Qian and did not intentionally ignore him. Bei Chen Han saw that Su Nuo was ignoring him, and his anger started rising, "Xiao'er, where are you going?"
Such a high-pitched voice was very abrupt, but Bei Chen Han himself did not realize it. Su Nuo heard him and turned around. Seeing that it was Bei Chen Han calling her, her eyebrows creased and she replied impatiently, "Why is it you again? Do I know you? Who allowed you to call me by my name?"
When these words were spoken, the originally quiet space suddenly became even quieter. Xi Ling turned his head to look at Su Nuo with a hint of surprise in his beautiful eyes. Right, whoever saw Su Nuo's face would feel uncomfortable.
Her white eyes drooped slightly, and the light in them became somewhat complex. Then, she lifted her head and carefully looked at Su Nuo's eyes from the corner of her eyes. It was just that apart from pure displeasure and dislike, she really didn't notice any other emotions. In fact, even if it was Bai Qian, she would more or less think about whether her Nuo'er's memory loss was real or fake. After all, no one would be so strange to lose their memories, and if it was her memory loss, then they would either simply forget everything, or forget the painful memory of her life. However, just like her Nuo'er, even though she forgot something, she actually forgot a part of it.
To marry the Third Marquis, to live a good life with him, or perhaps, in this life, the person he fell in love with was the Third Marquis, not Bei Chen Han, but her family's Na'er's greatest hope.
Love, either love or — No love!
However, once she loved, she would never be able to come out again. Therefore, Nuo'er hoped that she had never loved before, that she had never fallen in love with someone who had not only hurt her entire body, but also tortured the person who loved her the most. Such a person, such a love, no one wanted it!
"What did you say?" Bei Chen Han walked in front of Su Nuo. His face was a little scary, and his eyes were staring at Su Nuo as if he had been stepped on to a sore spot.
Su Nuo curled her lips, straightening her back, and was just about to retort to Bei Chen Han when Bai Qian suddenly grabbed onto Su Nuo's hand, pulled her close to his side without batting an eyelid, and said with a smile on her face: "Xiao'er, don't be rude, Han is your brother-in-law." As she said that, she smiled and looked at Bei Chen Han.
Su Nuo was very surprised by Bai Qian's words. She didn't even have time to take back the expression on her face. She asked in a daze, "Big sister, when did you get married? How come I didn't know?"
Bei Chenghan's eyebrows creased slightly. He clearly understood that what he said was the truth, but he suddenly felt uncomfortable. Moreover, he had the impulse to deny this fact.
Bai Qian took Bei Chen Han's expression for real and turned his head with a smile, saying to Su Nuo, "It was when Xiao'er was sick that big sister wanted to make you a wedding, so you little girl, do you know that you have to be a little courteous to your brother-in-law?" As if intentionally or unintentionally, Bai Qian emphasized the word 'brother-in-law' even more.
Su Nuo curled her lips and raised her head to look at Bei Chen Han. There was still a hint of displeasure in her eyes, but that look was very clean, like a pool of water. Black was black, white was white.
"I got it, sister." Su Nuo said unwillingly.
"Then why aren't you calling me brother-in-law?" Bai Qian said.
Su Nuo curled her lips and called out to Beichen's unwillingness, "Brother-in-law."
