Yun Bixue couldn't conceal the worry and heartache in her voice.

 Xie Limo naturally knew her thoughts. He sat up as well and let her rest her head on his shoulders to comfort her. “Ah Xue, you ought to understand, although it would be harder on Hao'er, he would lead a better life, and he would be safer.”

 Yun Bixue sighed. “I know. This way, Hao'er will be able to live the way he wished to live. Majesty Kang and Majesty Huang wouldn't be able to force their will on him. Moreover, even if Hao'er comes to know the truth in the future, it wouldn't do him any harm. By then, Majesty Kang and Majesty Huang would both be his fathers—one adoptive and the other biological. They both love him, so they will a.s.sist him.”

 “Since you understand, stop feeling upset over it.”

 Yun Bixue looked up at Xie Limo and asked doubtfully, “But even if you choose Hao'er, will he successfully ascend the throne? You still have to consider the candidate His Majesty has in mind in pa.s.sing on the throne, as well as Xiajun Yanwu's ambitions to claim the throne for herself.”

 “I have made arrangements, so don't worry about it. You're suffered grievances over the news on the web today. I've gotten my men to reverse the public opinion.”

 Yun Bixue blinked in astonishment. “You acted so quickly? I was initially planning on letting her blow this matter up, so she would be even more embarra.s.sed in the end.”

 “Even so, I didn't want you to suffer.”

 Yun Bixue sighed. “Alright! She would have other plans, but I'm prepared to deal with her tricks as they come.”

 Actually, Yun Bixue was planning on doing Xiajun Yanwu in big-time, to destroy the princess for good.

 Xie Limo said, feeling guilty, “I didn't protect you well.”

 Yun Bixue laughed and cupped Xie Limo's face. “Can't help it since my Mr. Xie is so good-looking, so outstanding, and captivates hearts so easily. It's normal for me, your wife, to be the target of jealousy.”

 Xie Limo was tickled by her expression. “You have a great mentality.”

 “It's not that I have a great mentality, but because my Mr. Xie is very trustworthy. But then again, were you really unable to tell she has interest in you? That she likes you a lot?”

 Xie Limo's gaze flickered as he said in a deep voice, “At the start, I really didn't notice that. I was merely treating her as an ordinary stranger, so I didn't pay much attention to her. If you hadn't told me, I might not have realized.”

 After all, Xiajun Yanwu acted very calmly in the beginning and didn't pester him or treat him too pa.s.sionately. It was when she subsequently took the initiative many times that he discovered something was amiss.

 At that time, since Xiajun Yanwu didn't openly express her interest in him, he couldn't very well say heartless words to reject her. He could only deliberately keep a distance from her.

 Yun Bixue sputtered out a laugh.

 “Is it funny?”

 “No, but if Xiajun Yanwu comes to know of this, she will definitely be upset. She thinks of you all the time, yet you didn't even pay any attention to her.”

 Xie Limo shook his head and looked lovingly at Yun Bixue. “My attention is on you. You are all I need. With you, I already have enough to worry about.”

 Yun Bixue made a 'hmph' sound and said, “You find me worrisome.”

 “What are you talking about? Surely you know my feelings.”

 Yun Bixue revealed a vibrant smile at Xie Limo, as if something suddenly came to her. “Limo, I want to see Hao'er. Even if we've chosen him, we need to ask the kid for his opinion. If he's unwilling, we can't impose on him this responsibility.”

 To Yun Bixue, Hao'er was like her child. Hao'er was so sensible and made her heart ache, so she hoped to hear the child's opinion about this.
