Quick Transmigration Sweet Story, The White Moonlight Rescue Plan
Chapter 145 The Charming and Gentle Prince and His Substitute Beauty Wife (26)
After a long time,
Just when Xiaoxiao thought that Yaoyao might have malfunctioned again and located the wrong person.
Li Zixuan stepped out from behind the screen.
Under the bright moon and sparse stars, Li Zixuan, dressed in a perfectly tailored, moon-white brocade robe, stood tall and slender. In the candlelight, he resembled a jade tree orchid, radiant and elegant, exuding indescribable nobility and grace, like a poem or a painting.
Just like when we first met.
[The good looks of these scumbags are truly undeniable!]
[Yaoyao: Pay attention to your character!]
Xiao Xiao immediately put on a cold face and said seriously, "Lord Li, your presence here is already against the rules. There is no one here now, so please leave immediately to avoid the prince misunderstanding."
Li Zixuan didn't move. "You care about him?"
Xiao Xiao thought about Han Chaoning's wealthy and powerful appearance and realized he was a very good investor, so she nodded.
"what about me?"
Xiaoxiao? ??
"I know you're back, so why won't you acknowledge me? We're clearly husband and wife." Li Zixuan looked at the indifferent Xiaoxiao and couldn't help but take a few steps forward.
After Li Zixuan's probing over the past few days, he was certain that Xiaoxiao still remembered him and their past.
I treated her so well and spoiled her so much, why did she still fall in love with someone else?
"What do I know about you? Your indecisiveness? Your bias towards others in front of your wife and children? Or watching you mimic others in front of me?" Xiao Xiao laughed in anger. This Li Zixuan really has no shame.
“But I have never broken my promise or abandoned you. I have given you everything you wanted.” Li Zixuan grabbed Xiaoxiao’s shoulders, somewhat losing control.
He couldn't imagine Xiaoxiao marrying someone else; he couldn't accept it, and he was unwilling to accept it.
That's why he disregarded all propriety and broke into the bridal chamber at night, intending to take the person away.
He didn't believe that Xiaoxiao didn't have feelings for him...
"Have you ever asked me what I truly like? What you're giving me is just what you want to give me, not what I want. It's just your wishful thinking."
Xiao Xiao stared coldly at Li Zixuan, whose face was ashen.
Li Zixuan pulled Xiaoxiao and prepared to leave. "I can give you anything you want, whether it's a title, love, or a child. Let's leave here and go to the countryside you want to go, and stop caring about worldly affairs."
Xiao Xiao shook off Li Zixuan's hand. "If you can let go of power and retire with me, then who will take over the revitalization of your Li family?"
The Li family had declined somewhat by the time of Li Zixuan, and Qin was counting on Li Zixuan to revive the family business.
Seeing the silent Li Zixuan, Xiaoxiao walked around him, sat down, and took a sip of wine.
"When you want to have one thing, you have to give up another. I think Lord Li understands the principle of not being able to have both fish and bear's paw better than I do."
"You can only choose one: me and Qin Xueyan, or fame and fortune."
"Besides, I want to continue brewing wine."
"Once I've achieved success in my career, you won't need to show your face in public anymore." Li Zixuan looked at Xiaoxiao stiffly, his tone pleading.
"But I really want to brew wine, what can I do?" Xiaoxiao persisted.
“I’ll buy the ingredients, you can brew it at home,” Li Zixuan compromised. “It’s not appropriate for a woman to always be out in the world.”
“Lord Li, I am not your caged canary. I want my own world. I want to go out and see the world. I don’t want to be trapped in the little plot of land you’ve given me, wallowing in self-pity.”
"I..." Li Zixuan wanted to say more, but was interrupted by Xiaoxiao.
"Lord Li, it's getting late. You have to attend court tomorrow. Please go back."
Xiao Xiao's decisive refusal gave Li Zixuan no chance to object.
Li Zixuan looked at Xiao Xiao, who was cold and aloof, with a chaotic mind.
It wasn't Xiaoxiao's fault; he had broken her heart, but he still wanted to struggle a little longer.
"Are you really not coming with me?"
Xiaoxiao silently opened the window, her refusal evident in her words.
Li Zixuan took a deep look at the person he had been longing for day and night these past few days, and slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.
That's it. Some people, once missed, are simply missed.
"Take care!"
After saying that, he disappeared into the night.
Before Xiaoxiao could turn around, she heard the creak of the door opening.
Han Chaoning stood at the door, the moonlight shining on her red brocade robe, softening her entire face.
"Xiao'er, I'm back."
Han Chaoning knew as soon as Li Zixuan arrived.
Han Chaoning remained hidden outside the door, too terrified to go in.
Han Chaoning had mocked her own incompetence, saying that she was just a woman, and that after caring for her for so long, it was time to let go.
Otherwise, she would just ride roughshod over him, but he chickened out.
He was afraid that Xiaoxiao would really leave with Li Zixuan.
After all, with such an excellent ex, her current partner, who has a notorious womanizing reputation, is somewhat inadequate.
The moment Xiaoxiao saw Han Chaoning, tears streamed down her face again.
"Oh my god, that drink was really spicy, it burned my throat."
When Han Chaoning saw Xiaoxiao suddenly cry, he was at a loss. He wanted to hug Xiaoxiao with his big hands, but he didn't know where to hug her. His heart sank.
Is she still heartbroken over that person? Then... how long will it take for her to truly let go of the past and accept me?
Looking at Han Chaoning's dejected appearance, like a cicada about to shed tears at any moment, Xiao Xiao smiled mischievously, "Your Highness, I'm tired, why don't you rest early!"
Upon hearing this, Han Chaoning gained confidence, realizing that he might not be as good as Li Zixuan in other aspects.
What a joke! I haven't been looking at those sketchbooks for nothing these past few days!
It seems he needs to perform well; he can't afford to lose.
One person's effort brings happiness to two; men have many ways to win a woman's heart.
Han Chaoning is a man of action, the kind who puts his words into practice.
*
Princess Chen Ying knew that Xiao Xiao must have been exhausted that night. Since Han Chaoning had always been energetic, she exempted Xiao Xiao from the gift-giving ceremony.
The next time I saw Chen Ying was at the celebration banquet a few days later.
King Wu of Hanchen defeated the Southern Frontier and recovered lost territory. He was overjoyed and celebrated for three days, exempting the region from taxes for a year.
At the celebration banquet, laughter and cheers filled the air as people clinked glasses.
Just as the emperor was about to bestow rewards, Han Chen recommended Li Zixuan, saying, "Your Majesty's great victory this time is largely thanks to Minister Li. It was he who risked his life to deliver the topographical map, which made my success possible."
"Is it the one from Li Sheng's family?" The emperor became interested upon hearing Han Chen's recommendation. "The Li family has been loyal and virtuous for generations, but they are a bit pedantic. I didn't expect that such a bold person would emerge in recent years. Haha, good, reward him as well."
With a single word from the emperor, Li Zixuan was promoted directly from a third-rank official to a first-rank official.
His reputation spread like wildfire, and the once deserted Li residence was bustling with activity once again.
Some women, seeing Li Zixuan's talent and potential, wanted to arrange marriages with him, but Li Zixuan politely declined them all.
He said he had a young daughter at home and his heart remained with his deceased wife, so he would not remarry for the time being.
Many years have passed.
Han Chaoning accompanied Xiaoxiao, who was heavily pregnant and still looking for a restaurant, when they ran into Qin Xueyan and Xiaoxiao, who were shopping together.
Xiao Xiao has grown up a lot. When she sees Xiao Xiao, she wants to let go of Qin Xueyan's hand and run to Xiao Xiao, but her hand is being pulled so hard by Qin Xueyan that it hurts, and she can't let go.
She could only look on with a pained expression, looking pitiful.
Qin Xueyan suppressed her anger as she looked at the two people in front of her who were so inseparable, and greeted them respectfully.
"I've met the prince."
Han Chaoning gave a perfunctory "hmm" and then helped Xiaoxiao prepare to leave.
Unfortunately, a little kid rushed out of the alley and almost bumped into Xiaoxiao. Luckily, Han Chaoning reacted quickly, otherwise they would have really collided.
Han Chaoning hugged Xiaoxiao with lingering fear, "I told you not to come, not to come. Luckily I'm with you today, otherwise something bad would have happened."
The hateful look Qin Xueyan had given her just now made Xiaoxiao thoughtful.
[Yaoyao, who did Qin Xueyan marry in the end in the original story?]
[Yaoyao: ...Han Chaoning]
【I understand】
[Yaoyao: Logically speaking, Qin Xueyan shouldn't hold such a grudge against you. In the original story, although she married Han Chaoning, she never had a peaceful day; she was constantly catching him cheating. Weren't you helping him escape his misery?]
Qin Xueyan is the kind of person who's always looking for something better, always comparing herself to others and feeling envious! Otherwise, why do you think she didn't marry Li Zixuan in her past life?
【Yaoyao: Why?】
[Isn't this a clear indication that she looked down on Li Zixuan's status at the time? Otherwise, why would she keep contacting him afterward? Wasn't it because Li Zixuan had become successful? Qin Xueyan thought having such a backup plan wasn't bad.]
[Yaoyao: The original female lead was somewhat of a morally questionable character.]
[You think just anyone can be the most beautiful woman? You need some tricks up your sleeve. There are plenty of women prettier than her.]
Li Zixuan caught up and, seeing the scene before him, felt a little relieved. He simply bowed to Han Chaoning and silently left with Xiao Xiao.
Seeing that Li Zixuan didn't even look at her, Qin Xueyan panicked and quickly followed him.
"Cousin, wait for me..."
[Yaoyao: That's strange, why doesn't Li Zixuan marry Qin Xueyan in this life?]
The reason is simple: she discovered that the person she liked wasn't so great after all. Qin Xueyan has been peaceful for so long; nothing good can happen. We still need to be careful.
