THE USELESS MIRACLE DOCTOR CONSORT IS SPOILED ROTTEN BY THE PRINCE!

Chapter 1228: Chapter 1224: Hug Yue Lian

Zi Wei had just undergone surgery, and although it was only on her face, it had involved cutting into flesh and bone and required medication, so she feared that something else might happen to him.

However, as long as she followed Su Yingxue, incidents were inevitable.

She could only advise him in this way.

Zi Wei sat at the table, motionless.

His fierce gaze swept over Liu Yi, who was particularly cowardly and shuddered slightly, silently poking at the rice in his bowl.

Only after Zi Wei had left did she take a deep breath, “Oh my God! Oh my God! That scared the life out of me! This man is so terrifying…”

She turned her head, looking puzzled at Yue Lian, “How could you fall for him? And to love him so deeply?”

If it were her, she’d have been scared to death by this man in no more than a couple of days!

People kill with knives, but Yue Lian’s hubby, his glance alone could kill, couldn’t it?

Yue Lian nodded with a light chuckle, her eyes filled with love, “My hubby has always been like this. Back in the Silver Moon Pavilion, he never interacted with others, and he lived such a life on the edge, it’s normal to be scary, but he has never hurt me.”

“He’s never hurt you?” Liu Yi’s eyes widened after hearing this, “He married you, doesn’t love you, hasn’t treated you well a single day, and you… what are you thinking?”

She had seen modern girls brainwashed by PUA, deluding themselves.

In ancient times… could there be PUA too?

Yue Lian seemed heavily PUA-induced.

A touch of sorrow crossed Yue Lian’s delicate face, yet she still stubbornly supported herself, “Not all love gets reciprocated, but what he has given me… I am already satisfied.”

“What has he given you?” Liu Yi couldn’t help but be curious, from the story Yue Lian told and what she had heard from the old steward, this man named Zi Wei, apart from ignoring her and not loving her, had only given her a bottle of medicine.

How could that satisfy her?

“He gave me a child.” Every time Yue Lian thought of it, her heart was filled with warmth.

Zi Wei still didn’t know that they had a child, a particularly cute baby girl.

“A child?!” This really shocked Liu Yi.

Yue Lian had already satisfied Liu Yi’s curiosity, writing down all the stories she wanted to know, and as Liu Yi was an outsider, she would not spread their stories everywhere.

She would only go in search of her next story.

After ensuring that everything regarding Zi Wei was well taken care of, Yue Lian summoned the old steward and asked him, “Is Xin’er still in Shaoshan?”

The steward nodded, “The young miss is there, but she hasn’t seen you for a long time. She has sent letters via flying crane, all expressing her longing for you.”

Yue Lian took the few pieces of paper from the steward’s hands, all scribbled and doodled upon, some with Yue Xin’s palm prints and her randomly drawn stick figures.

Yue Lian looked at the drawings of the mother she made, extremely ugly, also with a long beard and full of wrinkles.

She burst out laughing, “Xin’er isn’t like her daddy, so lively, which is very good!”

“This is probably the only consoling thing,” the steward’s voice, seldom not lamenting, carried a hint of joy.

Three years ago, after Zi Wei returned to the mansion dejectedly, Yue Lian spent a night with him, but after that, Zi Wei never touched her again nor spoke to her.

Yue Lian didn’t want the child to be born unloved by her father, so she determinedly decided to leave Lingnan and gave birth hundreds of miles away in Shaoshan.

The child was not in Yue Mansion but not far from her; sometimes she would spend her days at Yue Mansion working on equipment and could visit Shaoshan to be with Yue Xin at night.

Zi Wei… still did not know that their child was already over a year old.

Zi Wei left before dawn. He had already investigated Su Yingxue’s itinerary and scouted the road she would take. Any danger Su Yingxue might encounter, he would eliminate one by one.

Originally, he could have left without any worries.

But remembering the face that was altered, he went to Yue Lian’s room.

The exchange between day and night was still gradually taking place, the light of dawn bloomed slowly. Zi Wei stood in front of Yue Lian’s door like a statue, pursing his lips before turning to leave.

“Is that my husband outside the door?”

Yue Lian dressed hastily and rushed out.

As expected, she saw Zi Wei.

Zi Wei carried no traveling gear; he traveled light, carrying only his sword.

Zi Wei turned and walked up to her, his eyes slightly somber, “Why did you wake up?”

His movements were very light, such that no one would notice.

But the moment he approached her door, she miraculously woke up!

On Yue Lian’s delicate face was a trace of lingering fatigue, “I felt, it felt like you were coming to see me, so I woke up immediately.”

Expressing this, Zi Wei probably wouldn’t believe her.

She had such a strong intuition towards him.

It came from an instinct of the body.

Zi Wei’s lips tightened, the sharpness and guard in his eyes suddenly dissolved, and he opened his arms and embraced Yue Lian.

The intense scent of the man overwhelmed her, engulfing Yue Lian, her face instantly lost its expression, leaving only astonishment.

The embrace wasn’t short, Zi Wei even told her, “You needn’t worry about me.”

He wouldn’t die.

Yue Lian felt the warmth from his body; he truly gave her an embrace, not one she begged for but initiated by him.

Yue Lian hugged him tightly, desperately drawing the warmth from his body, her cheek lovingly pressed against his chest, unwilling to leave, “You must… be careful.”

She was especially afraid of him getting hurt, terrified that he would risk his life for Su Yingxue.

“Hmm.” Zi Wei responded coldly.

As if he was still that emotionless machine, yet, there seemed to be a slight change.

Yue Lian reluctantly let go, her eyes reddening as she watched him leave.

It felt as though his warmth still lingered on her hands.

She didn’t know why Zi Wei had embraced her, but that one hug was enough to sustain her feelings for him for a long, long time, until he returned.

Zi Wei also couldn’t forget that embrace; he had never held a woman before and didn’t realize how soft, delicate, and boneless a woman’s body could be.

He remembered seeing his master embracing Chu Yihan, and even her sister, not understanding, he asked, “Why embrace?”

Su Yingxue answered him with a helpless smile, “You don’t understand? Embracing someone makes them feel secure!”

He wanted to make Yue Lian feel secure.

She was kind to him, yet he didn’t know how to repay her; if this was the way, then he would give her an embrace to make her feel secure.

So she needn’t worry incessantly about him anymore.

——————

Fifty miles outside Yangzhou City.

The carriage of Su Yingxue and Chu Yihan had been traveling for a day, all was calm, not a single suspicious person along the way, even the Shadow Guards sensed no danger. However, when Chu Yihan dismounted to inspect the ground, he discovered bloodstains that hadn’t dried yet.

After examining these signs of a battle, he returned to the carriage, held Chu Heng, and said to Su Yingxue, “There might be fierce battles ahead, you and Heng’er, do not leave the carriage.”
