Chapter 444: Chapter 445: What are you thinking about, smiling so wickedly?

Qi Yue quickly collected her thoughts and smiled as she walked over and sat down opposite Zhao Xiyan.

“Of course, I came to see my dear husband!”

Zhao Xiyan smiled as well.

“I thought you were going to deny it again…”

“Why would I deny looking at you,” Qi Yue stretched her face with one arm, continuing to stare at him, “You are my man, for my eyes only… Tell me, have you been wearing a mask while I was gone recently?”

“What do you think?” Zhao Xiyan looked at her amusingly, placing the brewed tea in front of her.

“How would I know? If you were out flirting with others, I also…”

Before she could finish her sentence, she felt the air around her turn cold.

Qi Yue sensed trouble and, looking up, met Zhao Xiyan’s distinctively bright and cool phoenix eyes.

“Yueyue, you really have a lively mind, it seems you have abundant energy.”

“I was wrong, I just misspoke out of habit…” Qi Yue hurriedly picked up the teacup in front of her, offering it to Zhao Xiyan in a pleasing manner, “My husband and I are of one heart, you should be able to feel my regret, right?”

Despite being pleased inside by Qi Yue’s eyebrow-wiggling and ingratiating gestures, Zhao Xiyan kept a stern face.

“Hmph, dare you do it again next time?”

“I wouldn’t dare.”

“Forgiven. Drink up, isn’t that what you wanted… Tea?”

“Oh.”

Seeing Qi Yue’s obedient demeanor, Zhao Xiyan couldn’t help but laugh.

“Yueyue, you should still come back with me. I really can’t be at ease with you here.”

Qi Yue heard the implication that there was room for negotiation in his words; she quickly put the cup aside, intending to have a serious talk with Zhao Xiyan.

“Husband, we agreed to have a good talk, don’t interrupt me again.”

Zhao Xiyan pressed his lips together, silently for a moment, before finally nodding his head.

“Alright.”

He knew Qi Yue all too well.

This woman spoke more harshly than anyone, but her heart was softer than anyone else’s.

Some things, even if she didn’t say them, he was well aware.

But having been apart for so long, only he knew how much he yearned to hear her sweet voice and to watch her delicate red lips sometimes purse, sometimes quiver slightly as she spoke.

“Husband, do you really know why I came to Nanyue?”

“Of course, to put it simply, it’s for the late Great General Qi who died, you want to find the Nanyue General who surrounded them, to put it broadly…”

Zhao Xiyan spoke, then suddenly stopped, staring straight into Qi Yue’s eyes, motionless for a long while.

Qi Yue felt somewhat unnerved by his gaze.

“Husband, why have you stopped speaking…”

Zhao Xiyan pursed his lips, “Yueyue, do you really want to take care of the people of this world? It’s not an easy task.”

Realizing her thoughts had been pinpointed, Qi Yue was momentarily stunned.

After being silent for a while, she then spoke.

“Actually, when I first left the Longnan County Government, I didn’t have such a strong intention, but…”

That day on the plane, she saw the earth shrouded in smoke and battle, the land laid to waste.

Streams of refugees, like countless homeless stray dogs, their cries and pleas for help, like crows in the winter, so helpless, so pitiful.

At that moment, a string in her heart snapped along with them.

“Seeing how hard the common people’s lives are, I thought that maybe I should do something within my power. Since fate has brought me here and let me meet you, perhaps it’s hinting at something.”

Seeing Zhao Xiyan not speak, Qi Yue continued to speak her mind.

“Actually, the world I come from has also experienced many periods of war, some of which even lasted for hundreds of years. Though for the rulers, it’s just a change of power, the victor becomes king, the loser an outlaw, willing to die, but for the common people, it’s about a peaceful and good life. Without war, their families wouldn’t die or be separated.”

“To achieve that outcome, there must be a unification of the four countries. Then, everything would be centralized under one authority, no more blockaded border towns, no trade disputes, goods circulating throughout the land, and the people living peacefully and working happily. What a golden age that would be.”

“When that time comes, I’ll spread the Qi Family’s medicine business across the world, and from everywhere, I’ll select children interested in medicine, nurture them in specialized fields, so that when people fall ill, they have someone to see, medicine to cure them, making my journey here not in vain.”

“But if no one does these things, who knows how long the conflicts will last. The longer the war, the more people die. Didn’t you also say, ‘The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.’ I came to Nanyue wanting to see if there were any opportunities to resolve issues as peacefully as possible…”

“What about me?” Zhao Xiyan suddenly interrupted her, “You came here because of me, shouldn’t you think more about me?”

Qi Yue was startled by the man’s sudden egotism, but she quickly recovered, hurriedly reaching out to hold Zhao Xiyan’s hand.

“Of course, I’ve thought about you. I’m doing all this because of you. You’re my support and my backing. Because of you, I’m not afraid of anything…”

“Alright, I know, your sweet words,” Zhao Xiyan sighed, looking at her with a helpless expression.

Qi Yue urged, “So, you won’t rush me to leave anymore?”

Zhao Xiyan’s handsome eyes flickered, “It depends, I will stay with you here for a few days.”

Hearing this, Qi Yue breathed a big sigh of relief.

As long as Zhao Xiyan gave her this concession, he wouldn’t insist on taking her away.

She wanted to ask Zhao Xiyan about changing the army’s banner and why he wanted her to become Emperor, but she still didn’t ask.

Even though she knew it was true, she really had no interest in becoming Emperor.

Her greatest wish was still in the field of medicine.

She hoped that Zhao Xiyan was just coming up with ideas on a whim!

Besides, from Zhao Tai and others, she could tell that if Zhao Xiyan really wanted to push her onto that throne, it would only bring more trouble and controversy.

Just thinking about Zhao Tai’s discussions made her head ache.

Not to mention, there were who knows how many people like Zhao Tai in the entire world.

She only wanted to quell disputes, not spark them.

If one day the world was unified and the people lived in peace, wouldn’t it be nice to just lie back and relax?

She had no desire to be an emperor, working day in and day out, rising early and retiring late; that exhausting job was better left to Zhao Xiyan!

Thinking this, a small smile couldn’t help but curve the corners of Qi Yue’s lips.

“What are you thinking about, smiling so wickedly?” Zhao Xiyan looked at her suspiciously.

Qi Yue quickly said, “Of course, I’m happy that you’re staying to accompany me.”

“You want me to accompany you? That’s simple,” Zhao Xiyan got up from across the tea table, walked behind her, and embraced her fully, “Come back to Longnan with me, and we’ll be together every day.”

The nape of her neck was warm with the man’s nudging lips, enveloping her in an instant, causing Qi Yue’s heart to beat like a drum.

This man was just like a child.

He was older than her, yet he always wanted her to pamper him.

Qi Yue turned around, caressed Zhao Xiyan’s stunning face, and gently kissed his lips.

“Once this matter is settled, we’ll be together every day.”

Seeing Zhao Xiyan’s brow furrow, an unhappy look on his face, Qi Yue quickly coaxed him, “Sit tight, I’ve just remembered something very strange, I must tell you about it.”
