Chapter 156 It turns out that I have never been abandoned
"Yaoyao...my Yaoyao...you accept me, right?"
Listening to his sobs, Yao Jia gently stroked his trembling body.
"Well, I accept you, Xiu Lan."
Nangong Xiu Lan buried his head in Yao Jia's neck, not wanting to miss any scent from her.
This moment seemed like something I had waited for thousands of years.
Yao Jia felt the crook of her neck gradually getting wet, and she slowly raised her hands and wrapped them around his waist.
After Nangong Xiu Lan calmed down, Yao Jia asked a question that had been bothering her for a long time.
"Lanlan, when did you fall in love with me?"
Nangong Xiu Lan withdrew from her arms and stared at her with a pair of red willow-leaf eyes.
Tears were on his compassionate face, looking pitiful and aggrieved.
Yao Jia's heart was filled with ripples and guilt. She stood on tiptoe and kissed the tears on his face.
Nangong Xiu Lan chuckled and looked down at the woman in his arms.
"Just like when we were kids, he always used this trick to coax me."
Yao Jia was stunned. She was already a young girl when she returned to Kyoto. At that time, Nangong Xiu Lan was serious and cold. When had she dared to treat him like this?
Is it when you have hysteria?
Seeing the confused look on the woman's face, Nangong Xiu Lan smiled and said, "Of course you can't remember. You were still a baby at that time, how could you possibly remember?"
Yao Jia didn't settle down in Jiangnan with Bai Zi'an until she was three years old. Before that, she was hidden in a villa by Nangong Wanning.
Hearing him say this, Yao Jia suddenly became interested and pestered him to tell her about her childhood.
Nangong Xiu Lan brought her to the yard.
Only then did Yao Jia realize that there was a swing in his yard that could accommodate two people.
The two of them sat down, Yao Jia leaned in Nangong Xiu Lan's arms, listening to him talk about his life before he was three years old.
"When you were in Master's belly, I began to look forward to your birth. When I first saw you, you were just one year old. I was attracted by your cute appearance at that time. You were as delicate as a piece of jade, wearing a red New Year's dress. You were held in Master's arms, and your pair of big, sparkling eyes were very cute."
Yao Jia's eyes flickered, "Lan Lan is so shameless, I was so young, and you had evil intentions."
Nangong Xiu Lan held her in his arms and looked down at her.
"Yes, some people can tell a thousand years from their past at first sight. Practicing the secrets of the Tianxing Pavilion with my master is really hard. I am not very smart, and I often feel distressed because I cannot keep up with my master's pace. I would hide in the dark and secretly wipe away my tears."
Yao Jia cursed: "Are you calling me stupid as a pig in a new way?"
Nangong Xiulan smiled and scratched her nose, "How dare you? My Yaoyao is the smartest woman in the world."
It took him nearly ten years to comprehend the Star Secret, while Yao Jia only took three years.
Yao Jia was amused by him and continued to listen to him.
"Once, my master asked me to recite the Star Code, but I made a mistake. I felt so depressed that I hid behind a rockery and cried. It was then that my little Yaoyao found me with her short legs."
Nangong Xiu Lan looked at her, his eyes full of nostalgia.
"You wiped my tears, kissed my eyes, coaxed me not to cry, and told me not to recite it if I couldn't."
Although Yao Jia was surprised, she felt that the words "If you can't recite it, don't recite it" did sound like what she said.
"What happened next? I encouraged you to work hard and then you memorized the Star Formula?"
Nangong Xiu Lan shook his head.
"Later, you fell ill. Even though Master Su took great pains to treat you, your health was still worse than before and you were afraid of the cold. Therefore, Lord Bai took you away. Shuanghua should have told you what happened afterwards."
Yao Jia nodded, knowing that she was not sick when she was three years old, but was poisoned. Since then, she has been weak and was taken back to Jiangnan by her father. Fearing that she would die young, her father found two brothers, Shuanghua and Huahua, to bring her back.
"So what's the story about the life extension and the heart-eating poison?"
"To extend your life, in fact, Master used the secret method of the stars to find a person who matches your fate. When you turn eighteen, you can have a union with him and your life can be extended. Now it seems that you have... This can be considered a success."
Yao Jia pursed her lips and continued asking.
"Since you can prolong your life by combining with me, why do I need you to take the Heart-Eroding Gu just to restrain you?"
"Yes, since I am your husband, I must be loyal to you. Master has given us status, wealth, and abilities, so naturally we have to pay a price. But this price is not bitter, but sweet."
Nangong Xiulan kissed Yaojia on the forehead, "I am happy with this, because you are in my heart."
Yao Jia thought of what happened when Ye Sinan was poisoned, and held Nangong Xiu Lan's hand tightly.
"Then, have you ever had an attack of the poison?"
"If Lanlan's appearance is not counted, there has been no real outbreak. Why do you suddenly ask this? Do you want to cure me?"
Yao Jia curled his lips, he indeed knew that the medicine was used to remove poison.
"I'm not trying to cure it for you. I want to cure it for Ye Sinan. He has been poisoned three times and has someone he likes. I want Mingjue to help him make the antidote."
Upon hearing this, Nangong Xiu Lan's face suddenly darkened and a fierce look flashed across his eyes.
Yao Jia's heart skipped a beat and she rose from his arms.
Nangong Xiu Lan immediately returned to his previous gentle state and took Yao Jia back into his arms.
"My lady has a kind heart, but he is in charge of Lingyun Palace after all. If he is not restrained and develops disloyalty, it may be detrimental to the Nangong family."
When Yao Jia heard him say this, her heart calmed down.
"I believe that with Huahua here, Ye Sinan wouldn't dare."
"But Bai Huahua doesn't have the Heart-Eroding Gu."
Nangong Xiu Lan frowned. He didn't dare to joke about Yao Jia's life.
"Lanlan, you don't believe me?"
Yao Jia believed that Bai Huahua would never have any second thoughts about her. She didn't want to use the heart-eating poison to restrain them and force them to love her and be loyal to her.
She wants total devotion.
Nangong Xiu Lan looked into Yao Jia's eyes, finally compromised, and held the person tightly in his arms.
"I believe it, but if those two have any other intentions, I will kill them myself, and then I will personally choose someone to prolong your life. Is that okay?"
Suddenly, my mind was startled.
Nangong Xiu Lan obviously did not trust Bai and Ye enough.
In her previous life, she was so unbearable, but he and Shuanghua still remained loyal to her.
Then after we had sex, he disappeared. Could it be that he was looking for someone to extend his life?
Yao Jia wrapped her arms around his waist, pressed her face against his chest, listened to his strong heartbeat, and raised the corners of her mouth.
If that were the case, then it would all explain it.
It turns out that she was never abandoned.
…………
In a blink of an eye, it was Yaojia’s birthday.
The whole house was bustling with activity.
The busiest one is Bai Huahua.
A few days ago, Yao Jia mentioned to Lin Congmo that Bai Huahua should try to learn how to be a housekeeper.
Lin Congmo agreed and asked him to host the birthday party with him first to test the waters.
Bai Huahua was extremely alert and conducted an in-depth investigation of the people on the banquet list in advance.
Get to know each other’s temperament, preferences, and personal connections.
Arrange seats, prepare dishes, and plan the banquet program...
Let Lin Congmo take a look at them one by one.
Lin Congmo watched and praised, "Not bad, not bad, it's a waste of talent to let your housekeeper have such a talent."
He now admires Bai Zian from the bottom of his heart, and every one of his disciples is a talented person.
He handed the account flow to Bai Huahua and said with a smile, "Just follow your idea. I'll ask Ah Zhong to give you the key to the storeroom in a while. You will be in charge of all the household affairs in the future. If you don't understand something, just come to me."
"Yes, daddy."
Lin Congmo was even more pleased with the call of "Daddy". After Bai Huahua left, he and Ye Zhongzhi praised this cute child for his ability to handle things.
