Chapter 800: Chapter 788

When Lu Jinxuan arrived, it was already late.

Though he had already given instructions, he was still worried... Taotao is smart and sensitive; what has she discovered?

Entering the master bedroom, the lighting was dim and soft.

"You’re here."

Lu Jinxuan was about to look around for Yu Sangwan and then heard her voice.

Looking over, Yu Sangwan was leaning on the sofa.

"Taotao." Lu Jinxuan walked over, feeling a bit guilty, "It’s so late, why aren’t you sleeping on the bed?"

"Mm." Yu Sangwan propped herself up with her arm; she wasn’t wearing pajamas, but everyday clothes.

She shook her head, "I was originally going to greet you when you got back... and then go home, but I fell asleep."

Go home... Lu Jinxuan was stunned and inevitably anxious, "Didn’t we agree you’d stay here?"

"Stay here?" Yu Sangwan looked at him leisurely, "Honestly, are you asking me to live here or imprisoning me here?"

Lu Jinxuan furrowed his brows, "Imprison? Taotao, you..."

He paused, not daring to continue.

"Speak!" Yu Sangwan said emotionlessly, "Continue what you were saying."

From her tone, Lu Jinxuan was sure she already knew.

After a moment of thought, he suddenly stood up, "You know everything."

Yu Sangwan looked at him and nodded, "Mm."

Lu Jinxuan extended his long arms, his gaze resolute, "I also know this can’t be hidden... But, now that you know, I plan to do this anyway! I can keep you in the Holy City, and I can keep you by my side too!"

"Wait." Yu Sangwan frowned, "Keep me in the Holy City?"

She remembered something and couldn’t help but laugh, "So, the Fu Family’s civil dispute, was it stirred up by you? The purpose was to prevent me from leaving the country?"

Lu Jinxuan was taken aback; he’d inadvertently slipped up! He had always prided himself on being calm and rational, but in front of his beloved, he made such a blunder.

With that question, Lu Jinxuan was lost for words, "Taotao, I..."

"Haha." Yu Sangwan shook her head and laughed, "You really are..."

Lu Jinxuan’s mouth felt dry; he was actually afraid... what he feared most was her getting angry.

But, Yu Sangwan continued, "You haven’t changed a bit!"

"Taotao!" Lu Jinxuan was eager to explain, "I..."

"What, you?" Yu Sangwan suppressed a laugh, walked up to him, and laid her hand on his neck. She tugged with her fingers, loosening his tie for him.

Lu Jinxuan was stunned, what was going on?

"Did I say something wrong?" Yu Sangwan bowed her head, pulled off the tie, then took off his coat.

"Six years ago, it was like this; six years later, it’s still the same... You know, you’ll be like this for life! Always carrying the weight alone in whatever you do. Why do you assume I’m so weak?"

Lu Jinxuan: "..."

"Lift your arms!" Yu Sangwan yelled, looking up at him, "How am I supposed to get the clothes off if you don’t move?"

"...Oh."

His face was blank, and Yu Sangwan couldn’t help but laugh, "You’re really silly like this."

Lu Jinxuan’s Adam’s apple bobbed, "Taotao, you’re... laughing."

"Yes!" Yu Sangwan pursed her lips, "Should I be crying instead?"

"Taotao." Lu Jinxuan was becoming more bewildered; hadn’t she already figured it all out? Why was she reacting this way?

"Hey." Yu Sangwan sighed lightly, leaning against his chest, wrapping her arms around his waist. "I know, I know everything. You’re afraid I won’t be able to handle it, so you want to ’lock me up’ like before, right?"

Lu Jinxuan stalled, then nodded slightly, "Mm."

"So, hadn’t I told you earlier?" Yu Sangwan nudged him, "Just tell me if something’s up. I know... you don’t like Qin Mengshu."

Lu Jinxuan’s body tensed slightly, his hand rising to hold her, "Taotao, you..."

Yu Sangwan looked up at him, "We can’t really get married."

"Mm!" Lu Jinxuan nodded repeatedly, his expression tense, "Of course not!"

"Tsk." Yu Sangwan laughed, "See, isn’t it better to tell me directly?"

"I..." Lu Jinxuan faltered, "Was afraid you’d be angry."

"Of course, I’m angry." Yu Sangwan said seriously, "Promise me you’ll be straightforward with things like this in the future. We’ve come this far, I have faith in you... don’t you have it in me?"

Lu Jinxuan’s heart was warm and moist, beyond control as he lowered his head to kiss her.

"It’s my fault, it’s my mistake."

"It’s too late today." Yu Sangwan hugged his coat, "Send me home tomorrow!"

Lu Jinxuan remained still, staring at her, "You’re not pretending to be fine now... and then running off tomorrow, right?"

"Ha?" Yu Sangwan was amused and annoyed, raising her hands to pinch his cheeks.

"Ah!" Lu Jinxuan cried out, "It hurts!"

"You say you’re smart, but where’s the smart?" Yu Sangwan teased, "You hide me here and keep sneaking around; aren’t you afraid people will find out?"

Lu Jinxuan said nothing; of course, he was afraid... but he feared losing her more, feared not seeing her.

"Hey." Yu Sangwan sighed and shook her head, "I don’t want to be a burden to you; if what you’re doing ends up ruined because of me... I’d feel guilty for life. Does that not matter?"

"Taotao." Lu Jinxuan held her hand; facing such a wife, all words seemed hollow.

Yu Sangwan smiled, "I know you’re not the Jinxuan of the past... you’re Helian Si, the most honorable person in this country, every word and action carries great weight. I can’t help, but I’ll wait for you, I’ll understand you, okay?"

Lu Jinxuan lowered his head, touching her forehead, whisper hoarse, "Mm."

The two embraced quietly, relying on each other.

Outside, peach blossoms flew everywhere.

Yu Sangwan suddenly thought of a question, "By the way, is there really a Helian Si?"

Lu Jinxuan nodded, "Yes."

"Really?" Yu Sangwan was quite surprised, "I thought it was something Aunt made up so you could take over, so..."

"How can that be?" Lu Jinxuan chuckled, ruffling her hair, "Do you think waving off Guan Chao and the Cabinet would be that easy? I do have an uncle named Helian Si. Moreover, I do look a lot like him."

"Ah..." Yu Sangwan’s lips parted slightly. "It’s actually true!"

Lu Jinxuan nodded, "But he’s no longer here."

"Not here anymore?" Yu Sangwan was startled, "How did he pass away?"

"He was a soldier," Lu Jinxuan’s eyes filled with admiration, "Naturally, he passed away in the most honorable way a soldier could."

Yu Sangwan nodded, "So..."

"Yes." Lu Jinxuan nodded, "Replacing my uncle as Helian Si wasn’t solely my mother’s decision. If my uncle hadn’t had that incident... none of this would have happened."

Yu Sangwan didn’t say anything more; a family’s preservation of its power is no place for outsiders to interfere.

Since she’s in it, she can only comply.
