"Why?" However, Su Lin didn't want to continue this topic because there were some things that could only be understood and not described.
"I can't explain the reason right now, because you'll understand it for yourself in the future." Su Lin casually said, ignoring Li Ru's curious gaze.
"But then again, you've already been married for so long, and you just said that you've slept in the same bed for so long. How can you still be so pure?"
"Are you sure what you told me before is true? Nothing really happened between you and Xuanyuan Mo? "
Su Lin did not understand. Before, they had slept in separate rooms after three years, but on their first night together, she had been eaten clean. Could it be that Xuanyuan Mo was really like the rumors said, unable to do so?
Or could it be that Li Ruo's marriage was only to follow the emperor's orders, and she was only being nice to Li Ruo to comply with his orders?
In actuality, Xuanyuan Mo still liked men. Did he sleep with Liru just to complete the mission?
"Ruo Ruo, is Xuanyuan Mo abnormal?"
However, Su Lin had forgotten to lower her voice when she asked this question, so Liru was stunned. Xuanyuan Mo had just spat out the tea in his mouth, and Mo Shang's hand had been burned by the boiling water. Even Ruo Su and Cheng Ziheng, who were about to leave the house, fell on the ground at the doorstep, writhing in pain.
The calmest among them should be the guards on guard duty in the courtyard. The guards who had been keeping watch all made a unified gesture in response to his words, looking towards the sky.
It was as if there really was something that particularly attracted them that day.
Previously, he had heard that the general was over twenty years old and had never married. Rumor had it that he had been traveling back and forth in the army camp ever since he was young, so his personality had changed to that of a man.
Afterwards, after the little princess of the Li Kingdom married him, these rumors broke down by themselves, but after marrying him for two years, there was nothing to be said. Yet, the rumors were all true?
Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but stealthily look at Li Ruo'er. She was such a beautiful girl, yet she was made into a vase. The general was truly a tyrannical person.
However, due to Xuanyuan Mo's fame, everyone had stealthily shifted their gazes away. They said it was a secret, but everyone could feel such an obvious gaze. Moreover, Xuanyuan Mo was so stingy with his emotions that others would not be happy if they looked at him.
He pretended to be calm as he wiped the water droplets from the corner of his mouth and looked at the crowd coldly.
"All of you, get out!" What he meant was that all of them had to leave the courtyard. Thus, the guards quickly bowed and ran outside. Each and every one of them had a tense expression on their faces, as if they were using this expression to tell Xuanyuan Mo that they had not heard or seen anything just now.
"Su Lin, which bastard said I'm not normal?"
After the guards had all left, Xuanyuan Mo continued to sweep the area with his gaze while Ruo Su and Cheng Ziheng continued to fight on the ground. When he saw the two leaving with flushed faces and red ears, he glared at Li Ruo, shouting out Su Lin's name.
His voice was filled with rage, like a beast about to erupt from its extreme patience.
Just now, he saw that their expressions were abnormal. So they were discussing this kind of useless topic.
Whether he, Xuanyuan Mo, was normal or not, how could Li Ruo not know?
"Why are you so angry at Linlin?"
Mo Shang grabbed the terrified Su Lin, showing off his domineering attitude.
Xuanyuan Po's eyes widened. Is this still that Young Master Mo that has a name as gentle as jade?
"Mo Shang, just who is your brother?" Xuanyuan Mo was severely injured. It was one thing for his lover to help others slander him and spread rumors. But why did his own brother have to do the same to him? Was this his fault?
"Su Lin!" Only then did Li Ruo come back to his senses. He knew that Xuanyuan Mo would be furious, so he winked at Su Lin. The two of them held hands and quickly left, afraid that Xuanyuan Mo's anger would affect the two of them.
"You're my brother, but Su Lin is my wife. No one is allowed to bully her in this life, not even you!" Mo Shang's words came from afar. They seemed to have something to discuss, so they did not stop them from leaving.
It was clearly a very ordinary sentence, but for no reason, Liru heard a trace of gratitude.
Mo Shang said, 'Su Lin is my wife, no one is allowed to bully her.
Mo Shang, she thought, must have loved Suren.
Wasn't the smile on Su Lin's face due to her deep love for Mo Shang?
It was great, there really was someone in this world who could take her place and give Su Lin the happiness and tolerance she needed the most.
It was good, she thought, that Suren had never been a burden to her, and now that she finally had her own place, it was good. She should be happy for her, but when she thought of China, which she did not know where and when, she could not help but cry.
She didn't have a home. She always thought that where she had Su Lin was her home, but now, Su Lin had her own home.
Since Li Ruo Ruo should also have her own home, then that person should be Xuanyuan Mo, right?
Then, from today onwards, as long as Xuanyuan Mo existed, it would be her home.
When night fell, Su Lin had already returned to her room and was pacing back and forth in front of her own residence.
After walking in, she left. After withdrawing, she approached again. She was hesitant, unsure if she should go in. Her supple hair was squeezed into an explosion. It was clear how manic she was right now.
"How long do you want to walk outside? Aren't you afraid that you'll pass through this? " Caught off guard, Xuanyuan Mo opened the door with a dark expression on his face.
He had chatted with Mo Shang for a long time, but had yet to completely quell the anger in his heart. Therefore, when Li Ruo came back, he pretended not to know that he had been sleeping soundly, but he was still walking even after he had almost fallen asleep. The culprit, the rumored creator, was actually still so relaxed after disturbing his mind, he really wanted to pry open her heart and see if the color inside was also red.
"It's so cold outside, do you think your body is too good?"
Xuanyuan Mo roughly pulled Li Ruo over, gave her his outer garment, and then directly pulled her back into the house.
Li Ruo was like a child who had done something wrong, she kept her head down obediently and allowed him to do whatever he wanted. Although she didn't know what Xuanyuan Mo was angry at, Su Lin's words had something to do with her. After all, she had told Su Lin a lot of things about Xuanyuan Mo before.
"You."
With Li Ruo's rabbit like appearance, the fire in Xuanyuan Mo's stomach suddenly stopped burning.
Indeed, even if he was truly angry, he still couldn't bear to face Liru.
Ever since he understood the feelings between the two of them, he couldn't wait for them to stick together. Even if they didn't do anything, it would be enough.
He could listen to her talk about the progress of the case, she could help him analyze the military situation, and when he was bored, they could play a game of chess.
No matter how weak they were, they could still show off their strengths. He could kick Liru a few times if he didn't like him.
The two of them had been spending quite a bit of time together recently. Although they had seen each other often after coming here, they had been pestered by all kinds of things, and the two of them didn't even have the chance to have a proper talk, so how could he be willing to waste his time getting angry with Liruo?
"Xuanyuan Mo."
Li Ruo suddenly raised her head, tiptoed, and kissed Xuanyuan Mo. Her movements were still clumsy, and the childishness within still lingered.
This feeling was faint, but it was comforting.
This feeling was fascinating, but also refreshing. It was as if they had already settled into each other's hearts, and even the rate of their heartbeats had become consistent.
"Ruo Ruo, close your eyes."
Xuanyuan Mo tested the waters based on his royal brother's words bit by bit, slowly leading her to the corner of a wall. Worried that the wall behind Ruo Ruo was too cold, Xuanyuan Mo even pulled at the quilt to separate them.
Li Ruo's petite body leaned against the quilt, her entire body becoming soft.
He kissed her, fondly.
"Ruo Ruo."
Xuanyuan Mo kissed her eyes, as if a single voice or gaze was enough to sink in.
