"Actually, it's nothing much. I'm just a bit curious, heh heh..."
Le Yao Yao chuckled awkwardly, and heaven knows how fake her smile was. She couldn't tell if the man in front of her had noticed any flaws in her demeanor.
So while Le Yao Yao was laughing, her gaze never left the man's face for a moment.
She saw the man, who had initially looked puzzled, slightly stunned after hearing her words. Then, with a charming smile that could captivate nations, he seemed to have an epiphany.
"I see. Well then, let me take you to that secret passage right now."
"Really?"
Upon hearing his words, Le Yao Yao felt a surge of joy in her heart, and a delighted smile blossomed on her face as if she had just discovered gold.
Seeing this, Simu Han's eyes softened with affection as he smiled.
"Of course it's true. I would never lie to you."
With that, Simu Han reached out once more to take Le Yao Yao's hand.
At that moment, Le Yao Yao was lost in her happiness, thinking that knowing where the secret passage was would greatly aid her escape plan. Thus, she didn't notice Simu Han's intentions.
By the time she realized what was happening, her small hand had already been firmly grasped by his long and warm fingers.
Initially, Le Yao Yao tensed up and tried to pull her hand back.
However, seeing Simu Han's Phoenix Eyes filled with hopeful pleading, she felt a twinge of compassion.
Thinking that this man was actually a pitiful person, and knowing that she would soon be leaving anyway, she decided to let it be.
After coming to this realization, Le Yao Yao stopped resisting and allowed the man to hold her hand as they walked forward.
Noticing that Le Yao Yao no longer struggled but instead let him hold her tightly, the man's beautiful Phoenix Eyes flickered for a moment, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled upward.
That joyful and blissful smile was so enchanting that it seemed to overshadow even the sun and moon.
Moreover, the expression in his eyes was one of complete satisfaction, devoid of any malice, so clear and pure.
Combined with the smile on his lips, he perfectly embodied the phrase "stunningly beautiful."
Yet this seemingly flawless man was a Dark Overlord who could kill without blinking, which made one feel a sense of regret just thinking about it.
Le Yao Yao thought to herself as her gaze fell upon the large hand that held her small one.
It was an exceptionally beautiful hand, with skin as white as snow, smooth and translucent. His long fingers resembled bamboo shoots, and his nails were long and glossy, looking quite tempting.
It was like a piece of art displayed in a gallery—truly stunning!
However, for some reason, as she looked at this excessively beautiful hand, Le Yao Yao couldn't help but think of another long and strong hand.
Before the day before yesterday, there was a man who held her small hand tightly, filling her heart with a profound sense of safety and happiness.
She once thought that she would spend the rest of her life with the person who held her hand, living a simple yet incredibly happy life.
However, now such a thing has happened.
She didn't know if she would ever see that man who once held her hand again in this lifetime, nor did she know how he was doing now.
Thinking of this, Le Yao Yao felt as if someone was tightly squeezing her heart, causing a faint pain within her.
Yu, I really... miss you so much...
...
Letting Simu Han hold her hand as they walked forward, even though the path was winding and curved, Le Yao Yao still earnestly memorized the route, so she wouldn't get lost when she needed to escape in the future.
Finally, after walking for about half an hour, they stopped in a courtyard.
In this courtyard stood only a simple Tile House; aside from a stone table and a few stone stools, there was nothing else.
Seeing this, Le Yao Yao blinked her Beautiful Eyes and turned to look at Simu Han with a puzzled expression.
"Is this the place?"
"Where is the secret passage?" Le Yao Yao asked, her curiosity piqued.
"Mm," Simu Han replied, merely nodding as he took her hand and led her into the Tile House.
As Simu Han pushed open the Carved Wooden Door, Le Yao Yao's beautiful eyes immediately began to survey the interior.
It was an ordinary Tile House, much like those where common folk lived.
Inside, there was a wooden table and several wooden stools, with a kettle and a few teacups placed on top. It felt quite homely.
Beside it stood a simple wooden bed, neatly made with some bedding.
On the other side of the room were some basic household items.
Seeing this, Le Yao Yao felt even more puzzled.
"This is just someone's house; how can there be a secret passage here?!"
At her words, Simu Han flashed a sly smile. He then took her small hand and walked over to a wall. He reached out and slightly turned an oil lamp mounted on the wall to the left.
As the direction of the oil lamp changed, Le Yao Yao suddenly heard a rumbling sound beside her, and she felt a slight tremor beneath her feet.
"Eh!?"
She watched in disbelief as the empty space at the entrance suddenly split open, revealing a stone staircase. Le Yao Yao's eyes widened in astonishment.
"Wow, so this is the secret passage!"
Although she hadn’t gone down yet, looking from above, she could see bright light shining up from below. From Le Yao Yao's understanding, those must be the lights of Luminous Pearls.
After all, there were also Luminous Pearls hanging in Leng Junyu's room for illumination at night.
While Le Yao Yao was examining the secret passage, Simu Han continued speaking beside her.
"This passage leads directly to halfway up the mountain, allowing us to avoid those poisonous mists and fierce beasts."
"Oh, I see."
Upon hearing this, Le Yao Yao silently noted it down.
Then she felt Simu Han gently take her hand, as if he had thought of something, and said, "In a little while, when you feel better, I'll take you down the mountain for a walk. I know you've been feeling a bit cooped up here."
"Take me out for a walk?! Really?! When are we going down the mountain?"
Upon hearing Simu Han's words, Le Yao Yao was thrilled.
After all, if Simu Han was taking her down the mountain himself, she wouldn't have to sneak away; it was the best possible outcome.
However, when Simu Han followed up with his next statement, Le Yao Yao nearly spat blood.
"Let's wait until our child is born, and then I'll take you down the mountain together."
"Uh... we’ll only go down after the baby is born?!"
Le Yao Yao's mouth twitched at Simu Han's words.
"I'm feeling great right now. How about we go down in a few days instead?"
Le Yao Yao suggested, but Simu Han shook his head, frowning with concern.
"No, you just woke up. Your body is still weak. If we go down the mountain now, you definitely won't be able to handle it."
Simu Han was adamant that she was his wife who had come back to life after being dead for over three months, so without a second thought, he immediately rejected Le Yao Yao's request.
Le Yao Yao felt a bit anxious after hearing this.
After all, with her abilities, it would be easier for him to take her down the mountain himself than for her to escape alone. Then she could trick him into thinking they were going to the Capital City. At that point, she could sneak back to Duke Rui's Residence. As long as she returned to Duke Rui's Residence and was by Yu's side, she wouldn't fear anything.
Le Yao Yao thought to herself, and on her face, she put on a pitiful expression directed at Simu Han. In the end, she even resorted to acting cute.
"Simu Han, please take me down the mountain, okay? Please..."
She thought that as long as she acted a little spoiled, Simu Han, with his affection for his wife, would surely agree. However, after she finished speaking, Simu Han's expression froze for a moment before he immediately showed a look of heartbreak and said,
"Xiner, I am your husband!"
"Uh..."
Hearing Simu Han's words made Le Yao Yao's heart skip a beat. Looking at Simu Han's pained expression, she couldn't help but secretly bite her tongue.
In a moment of haste, she had even called him by his full name; naturally, he would feel hurt.
But calling him "Husband"? Cough, cough. She had never referred to Yu that way either. Though it was just a title, it held significant meaning for her.
Just as Le Yao Yao hesitated in her thoughts, Simu Han's sorrowful expression deepened.
His beautiful, elongated Phoenix Eyes quickly filled with tears, and the glistening droplets seemed ready to fall at any moment.
With his captivating looks, he appeared truly heart-wrenching, making one feel as if they would do anything just to cheer him up.
“Xiner, is it really that hard for you to call me Husband?”
“Uh, well…”
Le Yao Yao stammered at Simu Han's words, especially in front of that beautiful face. She felt an overwhelming pressure, her scalp tingling.
However, in the end, to avoid hurting this man’s feelings—because if she did, he might not let her leave the mountain—she had to weigh her options carefully.
After some internal deliberation, Le Yao Yao gritted her teeth and finally spoke up.
“Um, Husband…”
Her words came out stuttered and reluctant, sounding quite unpleasant.
Yet, upon hearing Le Yao Yao address him this way, Simu Han broke into a smile.
His eyes sparkled with joy, and his cherry blossom-like lips quickly curved into a breathtaking smile.
His voice was filled with delight and happiness, like a child who had just received candy—truly endearing.
“Ha ha, Xiner finally called me Husband! I’m so happy…”
Simu Han chuckled joyfully, his laughter pure and innocent, as if he had just gained the whole world.
Seeing this, Le Yao Yao couldn't help but feel a twinge of emotion.
This man, after all, didn't ask for much; all he wanted was a gentle call from his wife.
But unfortunately, his wife would never return, and so he chose to deceive himself.
After reflecting on this, Le Yao Yao noticed that Simu Han was in a good mood and decided to seize the moment to speak up.
"Then, can we go down the mountain now?"
Having called him Husband and made him happy, this request shouldn't be too much to ask, right?
However, to her surprise, Simu Han, still lost in his joy, immediately rejected her without a second thought.
"Not yet!"
"What!? You, you..."
Hearing Simu Han's words, Le Yao Yao was so furious that she puffed up her cheeks and glared at him.
Damn it, this man really...
But seeing that Simu Han was determined not to take her down the mountain, Le Yao Yao decided not to dwell on the issue any longer.
Because if she continued to linger, it would be bad if he noticed something.
However, Le Yao Yao was still very angry, so without a second thought, she shook off Simu Han's large hand and stormed out of the Tile House alone.
Outside, the world was covered in ice and snow, a silver landscape that seemed endless.
The surroundings felt just as unfamiliar; walking on the ground felt like there was no place for her in this vast world.
Despite her anger, Le Yao Yao continued to walk forward blindly, not wanting to acknowledge that damned man behind her.
At that moment, she suddenly sensed that someone seemed to be watching her. The gaze was sharp, like a knife!
Realizing this, Le Yao Yao was startled and quickly lifted her Beautiful Eyes to scan her surroundings.
She found herself in front of a forest, with a series of houses behind her, yet there was not a single person in sight.
Could it be that she was mistaken!?
Just as Le Yao Yao pondered this in confusion, suddenly, not far ahead in the forest, a fluffy creature sprang out.
At first glance, Le Yao Yao thought she had misseen it and rubbed her eyes before looking again.
Just then, the fluffy creature seemed unaware of her presence and kept running forward.
When Le Yao Yao looked at the fluffy ball of fur and realized it was a fox, her eyes instantly lit up.
After all, she had loved animals since childhood. She had seen plenty of kittens and puppies, but this was her first time seeing a fox!
She wondered how fun it would be to hold that fluffy little creature.
Just as Le Yao Yao was lost in thought, suddenly, a red figure darted past her like lightning. Before she could react, the fluffy thing was already placed in her arms.
"Uh?"
Feeling a slight squirm in her embrace, Le Yao Yao slowly came to her senses and immediately met a pair of black, fearful eyes filled with trepidation.
"Wow, so cute!"
Upon seeing the small, snow-white fox in her arms, Le Yao Yao couldn't help but exclaim in delight.
The little fox seemed to have just been born; it was tiny with incredibly smooth fur. Its small mouth was pointed, its ears were sharp, and its large, round eyes were glistening—truly adorable.
Le Yao Yao loved small animals, so the moment she laid eyes on this little fox, she instantly fell in love.
Seeing Le Yao Yao's joyful expression and hearing her words, Simu Han, standing in front of her, smiled and asked, "Xiner, do you like it? Isn't it adorable?"
Simu Han spoke softly, gazing at Le Yao Yao with his Phoenix Eyes, a hint of caution and anticipation in his expression.
Perhaps he knew that Le Yao Yao had been angry just moments ago, which was why he was so eager to catch this little fox to cheer her up.
When Le Yao Yao saw Simu Han's expectant Phoenix Eyes, she didn't respond verbally; instead, she lowered her head and gently reached out to stroke the little fox's fur.
Maybe this little fox had just been born and had not yet learned about good and evil from its mother. So after being suddenly caught by Simu Han and feeling frightened for a moment, it now relaxed as Le Yao Yao gently stroked its fur. The fear in its Deep Black Eyes gradually faded, replaced by a look of enjoyment as it slightly squinted, reveling in the gentle touch.
Seeing this, Simu Han felt a pang of jealousy, wishing he could be that fox, receiving such tender treatment from his 'Xiner.'
However, as these thoughts crossed his mind, he noticed that Le Yao Yao was still ignoring him. He began to feel anxious and pleaded with her pitifully.
"Xiner, please don’t be angry. I didn’t take you down the mountain because your body hasn’t fully recovered yet. I promise that once you’re better, I’ll take you down. How does that sound?"
"Hmph, I don’t want to wait until after giving birth to go down the mountain. Besides, I’m really not that unwell. I want to go down and play!"
Le Yao Yao's tone was resolute.
Upon hearing this, Simu Han's handsome face tightened in concern. But seeing Le Yao Yao’s determined expression, he sighed and said,
"Alright, if you recover fully, I’ll take you down the mountain. Is that okay?"
"Really?"
Hearing Simu Han's words, Le Yao Yao felt a surge of joy inside, though she did not show it on her face.
Simu Han was afraid of making her angry, so he immediately nodded in agreement, almost swearing an oath with three fingers raised to the sky.
Seeing this, Le Yao Yao smiled with satisfaction.
Simu Han gazed at Le Yao Yao's radiant smile, and in that moment, he became utterly entranced.
Before him stood a beauty like jade, with skin as smooth as cream, lips like cherry blossoms, and eyes like autumn waters. Her smile was enchanting, and a subtle fragrance wafted through the air…
As Simu Han beheld her, his beautiful Phoenix Eyes were filled with a deep sense of wonder and infatuation.
His red lips parted slightly as he hoarsely said, “Xiner, my Xiner, you are so beautiful…”
With that, Simu Han stepped forward. His arm reached out and tightly wrapped around Le Yao Yao's slender waist. He leaned in slowly, intending to cover her delicate lips with his own.
From the look of infatuation on Simu Han's face, Le Yao Yao naturally understood what he wanted to do.
She wanted to step back and escape, but the grip around her waist held her firmly in place.
She wished to push him away, but in her hands was the adorable little fox. It was such a cute little creature that she feared if she loosened her hold, it would run away.
However, as Simu Han's eyes began to close slightly and his Red Lips puckered up, ready to kiss her Small Mouth, Le Yao Yao felt a surge of panic. Without thinking, she immediately raised the little fox in her hands.
Thus, Simu Han finally kissed the Small Mouth, but ended up with a mouthful of fur.
He was completely stunned, his Phoenix Eyes wide open, staring into the extremely innocent, round eyes of the little fox.
In that moment, their gazes locked. Simu Han was utterly frozen, while the little fox innocently blinked its big, shiny eyes and then stuck out its tongue to lick the Small Mouth that had just been kissed. Then, the Small Mouth curved into what seemed like a smile.
With a 'chuckle,' Le Yao Yao couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Haha..."
"You!"
Seeing Le Yao Yao laughing so joyfully, Simu Han's face turned red with embarrassment as he stomped his foot in frustration.
"Wife, you are so mean!"
