Hearing this, Yun Bixue understood. Xiajun Yanwu must be the one instigating those two people.
However, she had long expected it, so there was no need for Xie Limo to feel troubled over such a trivial matter.
Yun Bixue leaned against Xie Limo's shoulder as she said, “Since they've resigned, it has nothing to do with you.”
Xie Limo glanced sideways and rubbed Yun Bixue's nose. “You're suddenly in such a splendid mood?”
Yun Bixue kicked her legs. “Of course. Because you'll be keeping me company at home tomorrow. You said it yourself, don't go back on your word.”
These few days, Xie Limo had been busy with work. Aside from worrying that he would encounter danger, she also missed him dearly. Also, she had felt very bored.
Xie Limo chuckled. “Didn't you want me to go to work previously?”
“I was afraid you would hold up many matters by constantly keeping me company.”
Xie Limo's eyes lit up, and a doting look appeared in his gaze. “Then aren't you afraid I'll hold up matters tomorrow?”
“I've looked at the weather forecast. There will be a heavy rainstorm tomorrow. Plus, look at the heavy rain outside now. I bet the imperial capital's traffic is congested. If you go out, I would worry about you!”
Xie Limo continued, “Your heart will be put to ease with me at home?”
“Yes, I can see you all the time, so naturally, my heart will be put to ease.”
Xie Limo laughed out loud as he gazed at the occasionally childish Yun Bixue. Only she would be able to make him so happy.
“I'll stay at home and keep you company all day tomorrow.”
Yun Bixue took the initiative to kiss Xie Limo. “Limo, you're wonderful.”
Xie Limo knew that every time Yun Bixue felt touched or excited, she would say this, so he could sense her cheerful mood at this moment.
Seeing that Yun Bixue was in such a splendid mood, Xie Limo didn't mention An Yexuan's matter.
He thought that his Ah Xue's heart only contained him now, so he shouldn't take the initiative to mention others' matters!
But even though Xie Limo didn't ask, Yun Bixue took the initiative to talk about what happened that day.
Every day when he returned home, she liked to share with him everything that had happened that day—even things like what she ate or drank. She felt that this was a form of sharing, and after she was done talking, her mood would be wonderful too.
Xie Limo was quiet for a moment before asking, “He said sorry to you?”
“Yeah, it feels weird. He's not as aggressive like before. I feel that he's become normal, which kind of reminds me of our first year in university. He was like this back then, very aboveboard and gives off a suns.h.i.+ne vibe. He's not as dark and sinister as what he became afterward.”
Xie Limo stroked Yun Bixue's head. “Since you put it this way, that means he's become good again.”
“I feel curious, though. How did he become good again?”
Seeing Yun Bixue's confused look, Xie Limo slowly explained, “If Chu Fei'er was the one who used witchcraft on him, and she was inflicted with great harm or if her life was in danger, the spell might have turned against her. Naturally, the enchantment on An Yexuan would disappear.”
“Only this possibility?”
“There's another possibility. It could be that the change manifested from An Yexuan himself. After Xie s.h.i.+liu started impersonating as Chu Fei'er, she had used all sorts of torture on An Yexuan. He had hovered between life and death many times, and ultimately survived. Moreover, he was beaten up so badly by Qin Huailing. It could be that he recovered after going through all those ordeals.”
Yun Bixue was both shocked and astonished. She pursed her lips and said, “Does it work this way? According to what you said, not only did we torture An Yexuan, but we helped him as well?”
