Chapter 46: Love Token?

Xie Xingyun wanted to say something but hesitated. “…Were you talking about this earlier?”
Bai Xianyu was very comfortable now, and her words were soft and delicate. “What else?”
“…Nothing.”
He looked down and stared at her hands on his Adam’s apple. Without batting an eyelid, he looked away. “Hold on tight.”
The moon gradually rose.
Bai Xianyu’s eyelids were fluttering. A strong sense of sleepiness came over her. Perhaps it was because she was too familiar with the warmth of the person beside her, she actually fell asleep.
Her hands lost their strength and gently slid down.
They were caught by the man in midair.
He grabbed her soft hands and lightly blew a few mouthfuls of hot air.
In the dense night.
Xie Xingyun stopped every once in a while to warm her hands. Along the way, Bai Xianyu’s color looked good. Her red lips were slightly open, and she looked like she was sleeping soundly.
When she touched the pillow, Bai Xianyu regained some consciousness.
Her eyes were blurry, and she felt like she was dreaming.
In her dream, Xie Xingyun rode to the competition ground again.
She wanted to go too, but he refused to bring her along.
He had been out all day and only returned now. Was he tired of her?
“…Husband.”
Her voice was as soft as a mosquito’s whisper. It was more like she was talking in her sleep and could not be heard clearly.
Xie Xingyun’s pupils constricted. “What did you say?”
Bai Xianyu frowned in her dream. “Have I…”
He bent over, wanting to hear what she was saying, but he heard the beautiful girl in front of him say aggrievedly,
“… become ugly?”
Xie Xingyun,”…”
Then, she turned over and threw an arm at the man’s chest. Xie Xingyun did not feel any pain, but Bai Xianyu curled up in pain and did not open her eyes. She said more clearly, “…Bastard, Xie Xingyun.”
Xie Xingyun,”…”
Did she still remember in her dream that she had hurt her face when he brought her out today?
“…It’s just a light injury. Is it worth remembering it in your dreams?”
The side of the bed sank slightly. He held Bai Xianyu’s arm and used his internal energy to relieve some of the pain for her. Then, he tucked her in.
Once Bai Xianyu fell asleep, it was impossible to move her. Her stunningly beautiful face was as smooth as cream.
How could such a face have anything to do with being ugly?
He took out a jade bottle from his sleeve and carefully applied the medicine for her again.
Immediately, Xie Xingyun stood up and placed the packet of medicine in a conspicuous place so that she could see it when she woke up.
Xie Xingyun walked out of the courtyard and a majestic peregrine falcon flew over from somewhere. It spread its strong wings and stood in front of him.
The little peregrine falcon held a bamboo tube in its mouth as if it was seeking credit, raising its neck and flapping its wings.
He frowned slightly and hesitated.
Seeing its master take away the bamboo tube, the little peregrine falcon happily circled around him.
The bamboo tube was very narrow in diameter and could barely hold a letter.
Xie Xingyun unfolded it, and Xiao Zheng’s handwriting appeared under the moonlight.
“Young Master, I’ve sent people to investigate the entire silk cloth shop. Everyone’s reply is the same as what Fifth Miss Bai had said. It’s the same for the servants of the General’s Manor. Therefore, Fifth Miss Bai did learn needlework from Madam Qin a year ago.”
The man’s face was calm as he finished reading, but there was a small line of words at the end.
“However, when I was investigating, I unintentionally heard something… Young Marquis Lin of the Marquis of Dingyuan’s Manor said that he sent his personal guard to deliver a gift to Fifth Miss Bai this morning.”
When Xie Xingyun saw this, he frowned.
He thought about how she had said yesterday that she was willing to marry Lin Xingjian.. This gift… could it be a love token?
