Xia Muqing forced a smile and said, “Who says so? I’m smiling right now.”

Ye Qingxuan commented bluntly, “Your smile is so ugly.”

Xia Muqing froze. Just as she was about to retort, he pulled her away.

She asked, “Where are you taking me?”

Ye Qingxuan smiled. “I heard you just now.”

Xia Muqing didn’t realize what he was talking about.

Ye Qingxuan had no choice but to add, “You said that I’m your man.”

Xia Muqing’s face unconsciously heated up. She explained, “I just can’t stand Xia Churan’s behavior, so I said that on purpose. But you still have to ask the emperor to annul our engagement.”

Ye Qingxuan stopped her in her tracks at that moment and said, “You just announced to everyone that I’m your man. If you want me to break off the engagement now, wouldn’t I be at a disadvantage? Who would be willing to marry me in the future? After all, I have a jealous wife stopping everyone.”

His voice was filled with amusement.

Xia Muqing was a little stunned. “Is the mighty King Zhennan still worried that no one will marry you? Isn’t Xia Churan quite willing?”

Ye Qingxuan’s expression darkened. “Don’t compare me to that kind of woman.” He spoke clearly with disdain towards Xia Churan.

With that, he didn’t bring up the topic anymore and pushed open the door to a small courtyard.

Only then did Xia Muqing realize that they had arrived at a small courtyard. She was too engrossed in their conversation to notice how they had arrived.

After entering the courtyard, the first thing she saw was an overwhelming layer of pink everywhere. When she took a closer look, she saw a peach blossom forest.

Ye Qingxuan replied, “I prepared this place for you.”

Xia Muqing was a little puzzled, but she felt that this place looked a little familiar. She walked forward and saw an ancient well in a corner. That made her widen her eyes. Why was that well here?

Xia Muqing turned around to look at him. He was standing not far away. The well and that man had both appeared after she fell into Gungun’s dreamland in the mountains. Could that little boy be…

Ye Qingxuan whispered gently, “Sister, don’t you remember me?”

She immediately understood why Ye Qingxuan had addressed her Sister.

It turned out that the boy she had met in that small mountain village really existed. Back then, the boy had been stabbed to death in order to save her, and that incident was something she couldn’t forget for a long time. Now, he was standing in front of her again, but he had become the powerful and influential King Zhennan.

Xia Muqing asked, “How could you be that boy?”

She had asked Gungun before. Gungun had clearly told her that everything that had happened in the illusion was fake or someone’s memories.

Ye Qingxuan replied, “I also had a dream. When I was young, I didn’t meet a girl who could save me. Initially, I couldn’t be sure if this dream was real or not. But when I saw you, I was certain that it was real.”

Xia Muqing was stunned. How much hardship must he have gone through when he was young? Thinking about that, she couldn’t help but feel sorry for him.

She didn’t have any feelings for Ye Qingxuan, but once she realized that he was the little boy from back then, Xia Muqing couldn’t treat him coldly anymore.

Ye Qingxuan chuckled and didn’t explain. Back then, he had killed everyone in the village and that family. However, there was no need for him to tell her that. It felt good to be cared for for the first time.

After returning to the Xia residence, Xia Muqing’s expression was still a little complicated. She hugged Gungun and asked, “Gungun, why did I enter Ye Qingxuan’s childhood through your dream?”

Gungun shook its head. “That’s impossible. To enter my dream, the person with the memories must also enter.”

Xia Muqing was stunned. The person’s memories meant that Ye Qingxuan had to be present at that time.. But only Jin Chao was with her.
