Chapter IBMLS Ch.54 Remarry (4)

Okay, Mu Mingtang also thought that she was being way too obvious. She coughed awkwardly and said, “The part that goes, I’m not the fish, how would I know if the fish were happy or not? You think I’m being locked in here, so you want to help me escape, but how do you know that I’m not willing to stay here? What if, I’m not an ambitious person, so I especially enjoy this kind of life where I’m being taken care of and I don’t have to even work for it?”

Xie Xuanchen raised his eyebrows upon hearing how confident she was as she said it, Mu Mingtang adjusted the pillow for him, and said out loud: “I really like this kind of lifestyle which I don’t have to work hard for. My lord, just let me stay in the manor and eat all the delicious food I want without doing anything, the imperial court will take care of me. How great, I don’t want to go out and live on my own at all.”

Secretly changing her approach, Xie Xuanchen won’t fall for this, and said: “When I was out meeting people, you were probably just a baby. If you want to live a decent lifestyle until the day you die, you can just bring along all the gold and silver jewelries, and find yourself a place to splurge it all, why stay here and wait for death.”

“Sooner or later, I’ll spend all my money. As long as I stay in the manor, I won’t have this problem at all.”

Her reason was way too simple, and Xie Xuanchen didn’t know how to respond for a while. Mu Mingtang smiled proudly and said, “So, this is what I want. My childhood dream was to not work hard and still be taken good care of until the day I die, and now I’m finally living my dream, my lord, you can’t destroy other people’s dreams.”

Xie Xuanchen was dumbfounded, and after a while, he asked: “Why?”

“What?”

“Why are you so determined to stay here? Xie Xuanji was right, if she stayed with him, he could no longer provide her with anything.”

“It’s okay.” Mu Mingtang smiled, her eyes also curled into a smile, her pupils too reflected the fickling fire from the lamp, her eyes s.h.i.+ned as bright as the stars, “Because you’re my savior, the hero in my heart. As long as I can stay by your side , I am already very happy.”

Xie Xuanchen was stunned by such an answer. He was dazed for a moment. After he came back to his senses, he immediately sneered: “You would say this because you haven’t seen me go crazy before. Those people were all like you, they all said that they won’t ask for anything in return, they vowed to follow me, but I only reacted twice and they all had already disappeared.”

Mu Mingtang knew how determined she was, but she didn’t know how to tell Xie Xuanchen about it. She can only reiterate: “My lord, your illness can be cured. Look at you now, you’ve been gentle and easy-going for the past few days.”

Upon hearing Mu Mingtang saying such nonsense “gentle and easy-going”, Xie Xuanchen laughed out loud: “I don’t always react only when I’m awake, it’s about probability. If you really insist on staying, I’m afraid once I go crazy, you’ll be the first one to die.”

“I’m not afraid.” Mu Mingtang responded. After she finished speaking, she looked at Xie Xuanchen carefully, “That means, you allow me to stay? You won’t chase me away anymore, will you?”

Xie Xuanchen didn’t say a word, so Mu Mingtang took it as he indirectly admitted to it. Mu Mingtang stood up happily and said, “It’s late, you should go to bed first. See you tomorrow.”

After Mu Mingtang finished speaking, she then walked out with a lamp. Mu Mingtang didn’t dare to leave any open flames in Xie Xuanchen’s room, all the candles had to be put out before her eyes, only then she would leave.

Mu Mingtang blew out the lamp in his bedroom before heading east. The lights went out one by one. Outside the Yu Lin Hall, the guards on patrol saw the lights in the hall gradually go out, and they knew that night had arrived.

The lights lit by Princess Qiyang every day have become the dividing line between day and night in the manor.
