CHAPTER 712: CHAPTER 298: SETTING OUT, YE QICHI UTTERLY SPEECHLESS (THREE UPDATES)

Perhaps, it was the stirring of emotions.

Perhaps, it was the true entrusting of the heart.

Xiao Jinxing turned around and tightly embraced Bai Mowan in his arms.

As if he was afraid of losing her, he held her close.

Bai Mowan felt a slight movement in her chest.

She could feel Xiao Jinxing’s intense emotions towards her.

It was even somewhat out of control.

Was it because tonight, he did something to wrong her?!

Because tonight, he shared a room with Ye Qichi.

That’s why he was filled with guilt and fear of losing her.

Her eyes were moist.

She buried her head in his chest.

Listening to his rapid heartbeat.

She just knew.

Xiao Jinxing loved her.

He truly loved her.

It’s just that Ye Qichi was too cunning.

She knew how to seduce men.

She knew how to make men lose control.

Not to mention Xiao Jinxing tonight.

Even she, seeing Ye Qichi’s appearance on stage, couldn’t remain unmoved.

It was all Ye Qichi’s fault.

It had nothing to do with Xiao Jinxing.

She forgave him.

The two embraced deeply.

Unaware of anyone else’s presence.

Ye Qichi withdrew from the cold palace.

Yes.

She too came looking for Xiao Jinxing.

Upon thinking, this was the most likely place he could be.

Indeed, she found him.

Only, it was inconvenient for her to appear.

Actually, her intention in seeking Xiao Jinxing was also to tell him that Bai Mowan knew about their sharing a room.

Towards Bai Mowan, there indeed was a bit of a revengeful mindset.

But at the end of the day, she didn’t want to affect the relationship between Xiao Jinxing and Bai Mowan because of her.

So she planned to give Xiao Jinxing a heads-up, letting him think of how to appease Bai Mowan.

In fact.

Xiao Jinxing sharing a room with her was truly out of helplessness.

If explained clearly, Bai Mowan should be able to understand.

In ancient times, a man’s chastity wasn’t that critical.

Even if Bai Mowan felt somewhat displeased, she could still accept it.

It was just.

She was overthinking.

How could she possibly affect the relationship between Xiao Jinxing and Bai Mowan.

Looking at it now, not only did she not affect them, their love grew deeper instead.

That’s good.

As a sacrificial character, it was worth it.

...

The next day.

Xiao Jinxing personally led the army, setting off to the border.

The troops, as always, looked impressive and full of energy.

After addressing the salutations from the civil and military officials, Ye Qichi returned to the carriage.

Feeling sleepy.

She actually had insomnia last night.

Tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

Barely falling asleep, she dreamt of Fu Xingyi.

Dreamt that they were still in the apocalypse.

They were planning their wedding.

Dreamt that she took the initiative to seduce Fu Xingyi.

Just when the two were about to be honest with each other.

The Fu Xingyi on her suddenly turned into Xiao Jinxing.

Even though they looked exactly the same.

Yet she could still feel, the complete difference between the two.

Frightened, Ye Qichi immediately woke up.

Drenched in cold sweat.

Fortunately, it was just a dream.

Because of that dream, Ye Qichi really couldn’t fall asleep again.

She stayed awake until dawn, then followed to the deployment.

Now finally sitting in the carriage, she drowsily fell asleep.

Upon waking up.

They had already arrived at a stop.

Everyone took a short rest.

Ye Qichi also got off the carriage.

She was still feeling groggy.

She just watched as Xiao Jinxing and Bai Mowan went inside first.

Ye Qichi, taking Xie Ruotong with her, returned to the room.

As soon as she sat on the soft couch, Ye Qichi collapsed into a soft pile and slept.

"What were you doing last night?" Xie Ruotong couldn’t stand it anymore.

From meeting early in the morning, she felt that Ye Qichi wasn’t quite herself.

"Almost didn’t sleep all night," Ye Qichi replied lazily.

"All night?" Xie Ruotong exclaimed, clearly misunderstanding, her face also blushed, "Is the Prince that, that vigorous?"

Ye Qichi looked up and saw Xie Ruotong’s expression.

Instantly, she understood the colorful thoughts going on in this girl’s mind.

She said, "What are you thinking, Xiao Jinxing and I did nothing last night."

"Impossible," Xie Ruotong firmly believed, "If nothing happened, why would there be, marks on your neck?"

Ye Qichi was stunned.

What marks?!

She touched her neck with her hand.

Xie Ruotong saw that Ye Qichi clearly hadn’t noticed them.

She quickly found a copper mirror in the room and gave it to Ye Qichi.

Ye Qichi took a look in it.

Oh my goodness.

Xiao Jinxing left a kiss mark last night.

She didn’t feel any pain at all?!

And she hadn’t felt Xiao Jinxing kiss her like that either.

Perhaps.

She was distracted.

But that’s not the key point.

The key point is, she went around today with her neck exposed, meeting all the high officials and dignitaries.

Thinking about that scene...

This is terrible!

After she returned from the cold palace yesterday, she went straight to sleep after taking a bath, without looking in a mirror.

Although she didn’t sleep all night.

In the morning, because of the lack of energy, she didn’t look in the mirror either.

She felt that the palace maid attending her wanted to say something but hesitated, but because of her impatient attitude, didn’t dare to speak.

This is a time when Lu You’s goodness came into play.

If it were Lu You.

She would have been nagging non-stop long ago.

Ye Qichi really felt like banging her head to death.

She wiped it, but couldn’t wipe it off.

"Don’t be shy," Xie Ruotong also saw Ye Qichi’s unraveling, and hurriedly said, "I’ve spent many years in a brothel, heard a lot of prostitutes talk about their moments in bed, these marks are due to getting carried away with passion, it’s the Prince’s affection for you, his obsession, don’t cling to those old-fashioned thoughts..."

"Stop talking," Ye Qichi cut off Xie Ruotong.

She knew more than Xie Ruotong.

She’d never seen pigs run, but she had seen pigs walk.

The apocalypse was so advanced.

Watching one or two movies was such a simple thing.

She had even specifically learned for her and Fu Xingyi’s wedding night to make it more perfect.

Her current breakdown.

Was simply because Xiao Jinxing left marks on her.

And thinking about it carefully.

Bai Mowan’s breakdown last night must have been due to the marks on her neck.

She thought Bai Mowan suddenly went crazy.

Biting anyone she saw.

Now it’s truly like trying to wash away the Yellow River’s mud, but unable to clean it.

Most importantly.

She didn’t intentionally cover it up today.

In front of all the civil and military officials, everyone saw it.

Those who didn’t know thought she was flaunting it.

No wonder today when she was beside Xiao Jinxing, Xiao Jinxing’s face looked so awful.

Of course, Bai Mowan’s expression wasn’t any better.

Ye Qichi was completely speechless.

"If I say I only slept with Xiao Jinxing once, would you believe it?" Ye Qichi asked Xie Ruotong.

"Once... that long?" Xie Ruotong was even more surprised.

She pondered, one night, at least five or six or seven times or something...

"I mean I only slept with Xiao Jinxing a long, long time ago, because of being drugged. After that, never again, and not last night either," Ye Qichi explained.

"Then your neck, Princess..." Xie Ruotong didn’t quite believe.

So, even Xie Ruotong didn’t believe in her innocence.

Who would believe now?!

"Princess, you and the Prince are husband and wife, it’s only natural for you to engage in marital activities," Xie Ruotong consoled.

No.

You don’t understand!
