Quick Wear: Oh no, the lady is running away with the ball again
Chapter 104: Femme Fatale Princess of the Lost Nation x Paranoid Madman Emperor of the Enemy Nation
The moonlight is soft, pouring into the courtyard like water.
Yun Qian was momentarily stunned by Li Xi's words. Li Xi hadn't asked why, but simply, "Do you want to?" The disbelief in her heart transformed into a furrowed brow and a look of undisguised shock. She even felt a little disorientated about the world. Had she always assumed the worst of people? She'd assumed Li Xi's pain and struggle were a prelude to handing her over... A tinge of shame for judging others by her own standards welled up within her.
Her eyes moved around, and she refused to look at the person sitting opposite her. Her dodging gaze betrayed her thoughts.
Li Xi picked and chose among the many questions he wanted to ask, and finally brought out the most valuable and most outrageous one. For some reason, he looked into Yun Qian's eyes and felt much better.
He smiled helplessly. After all, one cannot deceive himself. What he asked was what he was thinking in his heart, and every word was sincere.
With a slightly hoarse voice, he smiled bitterly and continued speaking.
"I'll help you." I can't help but help you.
If Yun Qian had been shocked just now, then the look she gave Li Xi now was filled with a hint of pity. She believed she had experienced the ups and downs of life. Indeed, she always seemed to maintain a cold and hard facade, but she also knew she hadn't lost her most basic human compassion. Everyone has a tendency to be reluctant to see others suffer, and today, she truly understood that.
Her brows were still slightly furrowed. She no longer dodged but looked straight at him, this young man with a promising career and a bright future, this kind-hearted man who was always willing to help others and give money, this official who always spoke up for the people.
"So what do you want?" What about you? What do you want? Yun Qian still refused to believe it. She wasn't a princess in a tower, someone who would come and save her if she didn't do anything. She had always believed that those who help themselves will be helped by others, and God will help them. She never waited for anyone to save her. In this world, even if it seemed like she was at a dead end, she had still completed her mission. All of this was never given to her by others... but she had earned it through her own efforts.
"Madam Yun, there's not much I can do. I'm just doing my best to buy you some time. It's nothing."
Yun Qian was almost going crazy after hearing this. Li Xi, do you know that Qi Huan can kill you with just one order? Do you understand what you are doing? As an official of the dynasty, you come to protect a "criminal" like me.
But she also believed that she understood that this had nothing to do with love between men and women... His noble character would not allow him to stand by and watch someone die, no matter how powerful the force he was fighting was.
……
In the end, all Yun Qian could do was stand up and kowtow to him.
"I will never forget your kindness, Your Excellency, but I cannot burden anyone. From today on, please do not visit the Yun Mansion again. I will take responsibility for the things I have done myself."
He stood up and saw the guest off without looking at Li Xi's complicated expression.
Li Xi was always like this. If he didn't help someone thoroughly, it would be as if he hadn't helped them at all. This was true for the people whose homes were washed away by the flood, and it was also true for Yun Qian. He understood Yun Qian's meaning. He always thought he could save people, save everyone in the world. As long as he saw it, he couldn't turn a blind eye, and he couldn't avoid it because of misfortune or fortune.
On the way home, he could only remember Yun Qian’s last words.
"Li Xi, if you live well, you can save many people."
"I don't need you to save me. I will get what I want myself."
Li Xi took it to heart and did not go to Yun Mansion again.
----
After Li Xi left, Yun Qian went to check on her two children. Yun Xun and Yun Tang were still sleeping soundly, their fair and tender little faces bringing joy to everyone's heart...
I'm sorry, Mom isn't a good mother. This is actually unfair to you... That night, she looked at Xun'er and then at Tangtang, her eyes filled with reluctance that she couldn't fake.
The system looked at the host like this, and for a moment, it didn't know how to comfort her. The host had never experienced the existence and love of a mother in her original world, but it seemed as if she had learned to love her own children without any guidance.
Finally, Yun Qian, with a face full of fatigue, was ready to fall asleep. But she knew that she was also feeling the same way. Yun Qian, didn't you know from the beginning that you couldn't let go? Why did you still think you could let go...
Last night, the moon was crescent-shaped, and Yun Qian couldn't fall asleep for a long time. With so much on her mind, how could she possibly sleep peacefully? But she knew it was time to go to bed, but even at first light, she couldn't find the answer... For a moment, she just wanted to knock herself out...
----
Yun Xun and Yun Tang are what she cherishes the most. During this period, after Yun Qian finishes her work at the private school during the day, she will come back early in the evening to accompany the two little ones... Later on, she no longer cares about the outside businesses.
The two little ones were clinging to her, and she was willing to spend more time with them. Yun Qian treated them with the utmost patience, but children their age were often mischievous. Yun Tang would always lie down on the ground, often leaving Yun Qian helpless. The two little ones could already walk independently, though they still looked a little unskilled at times. But Yun Qian, an experienced person, knew they could do it and wouldn't fall. If they did, she would hold them up.
Yun Qian is extremely lively and active, which sometimes makes her feel exhausted both physically and mentally. She is full of admiration and sympathy for kindergarten teachers in the modern world... She often likes to explore aimlessly and is never idle for a moment, as if she has endless energy.
In terms of speech, the two children were the first to learn to call "Mom." They now also know a few simple words, not many but still very interesting. Their favorite sounds are still some babbling sounds and "puppy." It all started when Miss Fu had a puppy at home, and after Tangtang petted it, she hugged Yunqian's legs and said "puppy, puppy."
Yun Qian had no choice but to bring one back the next day. She didn't dare take her child to choose, as she was afraid that the child would wave his hand and say he liked them all and wanted them all... The puppies were indeed cute.
Yun Qian had never raised an animal before, but looking into the puppy's eyes, she felt a deep, warm, sincere, and loyal sense of dependence. Initially, Yun Qian was afraid the puppy might bite, but thankfully, the person who sold her the puppy kept their word and it turned out to be a very well-behaved puppy.
At first, the two siblings were always fighting over who would hold the puppy, but later on, Tangtang's love for the puppy lasted longer.
Sometimes, watching their daughter talking to herself to her puppy, they felt a rare sense of happiness and satisfaction just by watching her.
At first, she worried that the two children might inherit their father's crazy genes, but fortunately, although Tangtang was sometimes stubborn, she would listen to her. Xun'er was even more so. Sometimes Yun Qian even wondered how such young children could be so sensible... She didn't know that Qi Huan was also so sensible and obedient when he was a child...
She didn't know how long she could live in peace like this... She also hadn't figured out what her future would be like...
But now she just wants to love these two children as much as she can.
