Yes, Wen Yuan was about to say that, she finally asked this question.
From the first time she met Gao Yan, Wen Yuan had been deliberately avoiding this question. She was playing charades with Gao Yan through a layer of window paper. They were both adults, pretending to be important, fooling each other and themselves.
Now, Wen Yuan suddenly realized that this couldn't go on.
Now that Gao Yan was here, she should have understood that things between them couldn't just go their separate ways as she had imagined. The bridge was the bridge, the road was the road. Their bond could not be broken.
After all, they had been married for eight years.
If Gao Yan had not come to this world, Wen Yuan could persuade himself to treat the eight years as a dream, but he came, and that time was destined not to be erased from his memory.
Gao Yan kept looking at her, his tone calm, "You asked me before if I was bound to the system, and my answer was: No. I guess that you and Xingyao must have bound to the system before going to the Taifeng Dynasty. So, your system mission at that time was to capture me and Ah Heng?"
He first heard the word "strategy" from Wen Yuan.
He specifically tried to understand what time travel, systems, and strategies were.
Two parallel worlds coexist, why are Wen Yuan and Ji Xingyao bound by the system and sent to another world?
As Wen Yuan and Ji Xingyao's biggest secret, they were afraid of exposing their identities when they were in the Taifeng Dynasty, and they didn't even dare to mention the word "system" in their dreams.
Now, after so many things have happened, everything that has happened can be laid out on the table without any concealment.
Wen Yuan said, "Back then, Xingyao and I were watching a meteor in the mountains behind the school. We were hit by a meteorite and died in the real world. At that time, the system appeared and assigned us a task."
Gao Yan nodded, as if everything was expected. He asked, "So, Ah Heng and I are your mission."
"Correct."
"I see." Gao Yan smiled bitterly and clenched his fists. "No wonder everyone avoided us like the plague back then. Only you and Xingyao ignored your family's opposition and insisted on marrying me and Ah Heng."
His voice remained calm: "What reward will you get after completing the mission?"
"Rebirth, and endless money."
Gao Yan's flawless shell finally showed a crack, and his fingertips trembled slightly: "Why didn't you leave after completing the mission?"
He swallowed imperceptibly, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
[Because you love me, you stayed. Please, Ayuan, answer me like this, okay?]
"Because Xingyao wanted to stay, I decided to accompany her."
Bang, bang, bang.
The huge invisible iron hammer mercilessly bombarded Gao Yan's heart.
"You, have never loved me?" Gao Yan felt a bloody smell rising from his mouth. He tried his best to suppress it and looked at Wen Yuan with hope and pain.
Wen Yuan opened his mouth and asked, "Love, is there?"
she does not know.
She is not Ji Xingyao. Ji Xingyao truly loved Li Heng, so she was willing to give up the reward that was within her reach and stay in the Taifeng Dynasty.
If he were to be honest, Wen Yuan had never thought of staying for Li Zhao.
Li Zhao is the object of her mission. Her body is in Taifeng, but her soul is always in this world.
The Taifeng Dynasty bound her body but could not bind her soul.
"No."
The cold words turned into sharp arrows that pierced Gao Yan's heart.
The blood clot in my heart finally couldn't be controlled and gushed out.
"What's wrong with you?" Wen Yuan stood up suddenly.
"Don't come over here, don't get your clothes dirty." Gao Yan took out a tissue from the table and wiped his mouth in embarrassment.
There were spots of blood on the carpet. He said apologetically, "I'm sorry for staining your carpet. I'll find someone to clean it up."
He leaned on the edge of the table to steady himself.
"I feel a little uncomfortable. That's all for today's conversation."
The tall figure left the meeting room in a dejected manner. He left in such a hurry that he even forgot to take his laptop and his pair of plain glasses.
"Hey, Mr. Gao, have you finished talking with President Wen?"
The secretary ran into him and asked enthusiastically.
Gao Yan turned a deaf ear and walked quickly without looking around. When the two passed by each other, the secretary felt a cool breeze.
"Hmm?" The secretary looked at his back in confusion. "Did you have a quarrel with President Wen?"
Gao Yan was unconscious as he got back to the car. He closed his eyes and leaned back in the chair.
The car was very quiet and dark, with almost no sense of human presence.
After a long time, a tear fell from the corner of his eye.
Five years ago——
Wen Yuan was pushed into a pool by people from southern Xinjiang, causing her miscarriage. She died after giving birth to Crown Prince Li Jingchuan.
After Wen Yuan died, Li Zhao was in so much pain that his meridians were almost broken and his bones felt like they were being smashed one by one.
He wanted to follow Wen Yuan, but was stopped by Li Heng.
"The Emperor's sister-in-law, like Xingyao, comes from another world."
Holding this fantastic hope, Li Zhao stayed in the tomb all the time after Wen Yuan was buried.
In the fifth and sixth months of the lunar calendar, Wen Yuan's body remained unchanged for many days, without any smell of corruption.
She lay quietly in the coffin, as if asleep.
Li Zhao's unattainable wish seemed to be about to come true.
A month later, Wen Yuan, whose body remained intact, vanished into thin air. Li Zhao, suffering in purgatory, finally grasped at a lifeline.
"Ayuan, she's still alive. She's alive. She must have gone back. I can find her back. Find her back."
Li Zhao was like a madman, crying and laughing at the same time. As the king of a country, he made himself look like a madman.
"Master Huang, please quickly summon Master Huang."
Li Zhao ordered Eunuch Zhou to rush to the observatory immediately to invite Master Huang back.
"Your Majesty, the Empress's body has disappeared? Did you see it with your own eyes?" Master Huang's eyes lit up and he was extremely excited.
"I saw it with my own eyes. Ayuan is not dead. She is still alive." Li Zhao said affirmatively. He held the wooden wall of the coffin and looked inside habitually. It seemed that Wen Yuan was still sleeping inside.
Master Huang nodded and said, "Yes, the Empress is definitely not dead. My magic has improved a lot recently. For a moment last night, I was able to connect with another world!"
Huang Dashi wanted to keep this matter secret, but he couldn't keep secrets, and when he got excited, he blurted out everything.
The reason for keeping it secret is that King Ruiping has gone astray. He is determined to go to another world and is willing to try any extreme means.
However, Master Huang's power is limited, and the bridge between the two lives he can build is extremely fragile. If it breaks during the transmission, there is a high possibility of life-threatening danger.
Once King Ruiping gets to know about this, he will definitely risk his life.
Master Huang wanted them to wait a while, and it would not be too late to go when everything was stable.
Moreover, connecting to another world requires a fuse, and it is best if the fuse is something from the opposite world.
When Master Huang raised this question, Li Zhao and Li Heng said in unison.
"bracelet!"
When Ji Xingyao and Wen Yuan disappeared, they both took away the bracelets given to them by Concubine Gao.
