CHAPTER 594: 0348 IT TURNS OUT THAT IT’S NOT THE END OF THE NIGHT, BUT DAWN (2-IN-1)_2

So he pretended not to hear, a hint of helplessness adding to his expression: "Are these words also about the fate you cared about just now?"

"Fate? That’s right." Yun Qian gently held Xu Chang’an’s hand: "Where I live now, what’s it called?"

"?" Xu Chang’an had a question mark above his head: "Celestial Bright Peak, why?"

"Seeing Miss Zhu this time, is it to mention... the matter of me entering the place where you live?" Yun Qian asked.

"Of course." Xu Chang’an nodded earnestly: "I’ve already told you early on, the Celestial Bright Peak now is struck by lightning, catching the eyes of big figures from all over. It’s not safe here; it’s better to follow me to Muyu Peak early on."

"Mm." Yun Qian then smiled.

That silly smile of hers made Xu Chang’an feel both dazed and touched.

——

Yun Qian smiled.

Indeed.

This is the world where she interacts with her husband.

Every name, every place carries its own significance.

Muyu Peak, derived from Morning Clouds and Evening Rain, ensures a place where he and Miss Yun can be close, a justifiable reason to openly tease.

Muyu Peak is like this. When Miss Yun first arrived at the Immortal Sect, the first place she settled was Celestial Bright Peak. How can so-called Celestial Bright simply be a name one can overlook and forget?

It must share the same, or even greater significance as Muyu.

Yun Qian thought it wasn’t the sun and the burgeoning stirs of spring, nor the ending night of Celestial Bright.

She initially believed this so-called Celestial Bright Peak was a place for her to stay when he wasn’t too dazzling yet, allowing her to gaze directly.

Now she realizes maybe it isn’t Celestial Bright predetermined.

It is fate predetermined.

She entered fate, while he must reach out to drag her out, compelling her to his side, perhaps truly arranged by destiny.

But what made Yun Qian helpless.

To alter her fate, the identity of this "destiny" can only be this young man in front of her.

So there will be no leeway for mystery.

Yun Qian nodded slightly, meeting Xu Chang’an’s clear gaze.

Mm.

After all, these were just Yun Qian’s speculations.

She couldn’t confirm whether her husband summoned her or she emerged unable to bear it, with the discerning "Heavenly Dao" actively bringing him to her side.

Summon or invader.

For Miss Yun, as long as Xu Chang’an doesn’t take the initiative to speak to her, she will never know the truth.

So, this unexpected thought won’t change anything between her and Xu Chang’an.

If it has to be said there is...

Perhaps it’s just that for the first time in the main wife candidates, Miss Yun added "Yun Qian," herself.

In the future, she can occasionally contemplate whether she is indeed the destiny-arranged, sole main wife.

At this time, the speed of the carriage visibly slowed, it was leaving the official road, about to reach the entrance to the lake selected by Zhu Pingniang.

"Miss, if you’re tired, take a nap. In a while... I’ll carry you there." Xu Chang’an looked at the smile on Yun Qian’s lips, helpless, having no other choice but to sigh: "Anyway, when we get to the painted boat, I have to cook, and you need to rest."

"I was just thinking, so I’m indeed a bit tired." Yun Qian admitted.

"If you’re sleepy, just sleep, it might be rude... but it’s better than speaking nonsense." Xu Chang’an shook his head, feeling now that Miss Yun’s eyes seemed on the verge of sleep.

But what suddenly stunned Xu Chang’an—

The carriage crossed a bridge, and the compartment shook slightly.

Just as Miss Yun bent her body forward a little, like a dragonfly skimming the water, her face paused for a moment at the corner of his lips before she raised her head.

Xu Chang’an: "..."

?

What happened?

Was I... kissed by the lady?

What’s the reason?

Xu Chang’an looked at Yun Qian and saw an ordinary expression.

She always didn’t like to smile, so she appeared like a luxurious, exquisite work of art that made one instinctively hold their breath at a glance.

Romantic?

Not at all, it brought a sense of honor instead.

"Miss, did you ambush me?" Xu Chang’an, for the sake of not making things awkward, chose to speak in a slightly teasing tone.

"Ambush? I wouldn’t do such a thing."

Miss Yun’s pale hand fell on his shoulder, eyes not blinking as she looked directly at the young man before her, seriously saying: "This is my punishment for myself."

Just like how the system beside him would self-punish when it made mistakes, Miss Yun learned the technique of self-punishment so the other wouldn’t target her.

But Xu Chang’an was uncertain whether Miss Yun’s words had any meaning at that moment; he blinked: "Punishment? What kind of punishment?"

"As I said earlier, this is the punishment for saying I’m sleepy." Yun Qian whispered.

Saying she was sleepy, Xu Chang’an would kiss her awake.

But now the lady didn’t want to suffocate, so she lightly tapped him as self-punishment.

She was always a clever woman.

"...?" Xu Chang’an understood Yun Qian’s thinking.

This is something Miss Yun would do.

Yet the reason couples are couples lies in him understanding Yun Qian the way she understands him.

"Is it only that?" Xu Chang’an sharply noticed Yun Qian was concealing something.

Just like she had insight into his thoughts previously, the reverse was also true.

"Not just that." Yun Qian nodded.

Yun Qian wouldn’t deceive because all along, as long as Xu Chang’an didn’t ask, she wouldn’t speak of it.

If he asked, she would be honest.

"So, suddenly kissing me, besides being a punishment for saying sleepy, what else?" Xu Chang’an was curious.

Yun Qian remained calm, truthfully saying: "I felt a bit moved and wanted to, so I did."

After Yun Qian had her speculation, she suddenly realized she might truly be seen by him as the main wife, realizing how much he might like her... and then she felt very happy.

Intimacy is an expression of happiness.

Xu Chang’an: "..."

Listening to Yun Qian, he instinctively placed his fingers at the corner of his lips, his eyes fixed, before exhaling deeply after a moment.

"Miss, I really... shouldn’t have asked you."

Miss Yun, not playing fair here, how does she go from talking normally to ambushing him out of the blue?

She truly learned the art of speaking sweet words by herself.

"That’s why I didn’t say it directly, you were the one who asked." Yun Qian blinked.

She knew Xu Chang’an would feel embarrassed, hence only mentioning the first reason.

This time, it really was his own doing.

This time, it truly wasn’t Miss Yun’s business anymore.

"It’s my fault." Xu Chang’an coughed, and then closed his eyes.

Miss Yun embraced.

Due to the regrets of his youth, he felt moved because of the event.

Moreover, because of affection and being moved, he chose not to open his eyes for the touch and scent.

Yet he’s also a person who moves back when struck.

Yun Qian was calm, and it would make him moved.

When Miss Yun said she was moved, he would force himself to calm down.

It wasn’t nighttime, at home, or even on the bed; among the couple, one must be normal.

So Xu Chang’an reopened his eyes and asked: "So, is our topic on fate... over?"

Mm?

Fate?

Celestial Bright?

Didn’t Miss Yun just ask...

Xu Chang’an was about to think carefully when hearing Yun Qian nod: "It’s over, I don’t want to think about fate matters anymore, because I can’t figure out the result."

"Then..."

It should be time to mention Senior Zhu.

It was you who said you were interested.

Considering this, Miss Yun’s interest was truly shallow.

Xu Chang’an was about to speak, but was stopped by Yun Qian taking his hand, placing it on the stain at her white-clad waist.

This was from Miss Yun’s rolling around in the carriage.

She wore simple clothes and looked a bit messy.

"Miss, what’s wrong?"

"I want to change my attire." Yun Qian spoke seriously.

As the main wife.

To see Miss Zhu, she wants to dress nicely.
