Xie Limo's eyes clouded over, as if immersed in a memory.

 After a while, seeing the lack of response from Xie Limo, Yun Bixue waved her hands in front of his eyes. She blinked as she asked, “Limo? What's the matter? What are you thinking about?”

 Xie Limo did not reply to Yun Bixue's question and instead asked, “Xue, did you meet that Ye person today?”

 Under Xie Limo's piercing gaze, Yun Bixue couldn't hide anything from him. She recounted the entire conversation she had with Miao Zifu to him.

 Even after speaking, Xie Limo kept quiet as his gaze chilled.

 “Limo, is something wrong?”

 Xie Limo's expression further darkened before it s.h.i.+fted. He held onto Yun Bixue's hand and said sternly, “Xue, don't interfere with the matters of Country F. Arrange for all your people to return and leave this to me.”

 With this, Yun Bixue could tell that the origins of that man was not simple. Perhaps he had a history with the Xie family.

 “Limo, you have to at least give me a reason!”

 Xie Limo's grip on Yun Bixue's hand tightened. “Xue, don't come into contact with the Ye family. If I'm correct, he has a feud with the Xie family. Arrange for your people to return! Listen to me.”

 “But, they still have to investigate that man and Qiao Muwan's whereabouts.”

 “Bring your men out and subst.i.tute them with Xie family's people.”

 Yun Bixue was not used to seeing this expression on Xie Limo. “Isn't using the Yun family's and Xie family's men of sacrifice the same?”

 Xie Limo loosened his grip on Yun Bixue's hand and held onto her shoulders instead. He looked at her in the eyes seriously and articulated clearly, “Xue, don't be like this. This is related to Xie family's past. I cannot drag you into this and risk any danger upon you. Do you understand?”

 Yun Bixue became upset when she heard that. “Limo, I am your wife, so there's no way I can cut off my link to the Xie family. We are connected. Even if I were to remove my people and let you arrange for the Xie family's men of sacrifice to go there, does it actually mean that whatever you do cannot be linked to me?”

Xie Limo fell silent.

 “Limo, if you want me to remove all my people, you have to at least provide me with a reason, a reason to do it your way.”

 Xie Limo's expression was mild, seemingly a little fatigued. He closed his eyes and said, “Xue, don't force me.”

 “Limo, weren't we going to trust each other? I'm not forcing you. Not telling me shows your care for my safety, but it also shows that you don't trust me, not daring to take the leap with me. We are a married couple, one single ent.i.ty, together in both life and death. We will always handle things together whatever comes at us.”

 After calming her emotions, Yun Bixue continued, “Limo, just like what happened today. I always choose to tell you everything, but you're always choosing to hide things from me.”

 “Xue, I…” Xie Limo didn't expect his words to cause such a big reaction in Yun Bixue.

 “Limo, I know you're thinking for my well-being, but even if I'm pregnant, I can still help a little. I don't want you to keep everything and shoulder everything yourself.”

 Yun Bixue was afraid that if this kept going on, Xie Limo would overtire himself. She wanted to know more and help carry this burden together.

 Xie Limo's gaze was mild with a tinge of hurt. “Xue, back then, the person who my younger sister fell in love with had Ye as his surname.”
