Reborn: Revenge of the Concubine's Daughter

Chapter 307 Whispers of love

Meng Xuan comforted her, “Don’t be afraid, it is just a little injury. I was going to change my robe, but I didn’t want to delay it for even one second. I have a feeling that I won’t see you again if I don’t do it now.”

“Let me go first.” He Danggui got out of his arms and said anxiously, “I need to check your wound.” She pushed Meng Xuan to the bed and undressed him to examine the injury on his left arm. That was a deep sword cut and was bloody red. Then, He Danggui brought warm water, bandages, and medicine to clean up the wound.

After confirming He Dangguiwas fine, Meng Xuan gradually calmed down. Yes, dreams were not reality and nothing happened to her. No one could harm this smart and powerful girl. She would always be fine and warm. A drop of water was still on her eyelashes. Living in this garden full of peach blossoms, spending her days peacefully and counting the colorful falling flowers, she must be happy… However, when would she like to live in his house?

He Danggui’s movements were gentle for fear of hurting him. The cautious expression had touched Meng Xuan very much, “It turns out that Xiaoyi also will worry about someone. If you can take care of me like this for more times, I am willing to be injured every day.”

“Stop it!” He Danggui reprimanded him. She then asked, “Who can hurt you? You are powerful.” Meng Xuan was strong enough three years ago. Although she hadn’t seen him show his skills, she could tell from some details. At least, Meng Xuan was at the same level as Gao Jue. Plus, Meng Xuan was a Kungfu junkie. With the experience from his previous life, he must be at an unimaginable level.

Meng Xuan smiled, “I am powerful, but I am not invincible. I can be hurt and I do bleed. Is it disappointing?” He couldn’t help raising his hand to brush her eyelashes, worrying that the drop of water on them would fall down and get into her eye.

He Danggui sighed softly and said in a persuasive tone, “You are right. You are also a human being. You should take care of yourself! Meng Xuan, I feel that you are a totally different person now, and I don’t know what you are busy with. I understand that men have their ambitions. With the advantage of the memories of previous life, you surely want to do something. However, if you lose your life this time, you may never come back.”

When she helped him change his clothes after she bandaged the wound, Meng Xuan smelled her fragrance. Meng Xuan didn’t want the fragrance to escape, so he hugged her around her waist and begged, “Stay here, just for a while.” Meng Xuan became a different man because of He Danggui. Her indifference and ruthlessness three years ago made him feel inferior and let him yearn for power. He thought that he could have He Danggui forever if he had power. However, when he saw her, he couldn’t bear to play tricks on her. He wished that he could tell his girl these feelings.

He Danggui snuggled obediently on his chest and continued to say, “Aren’t you a filial son? In your mother’s eyes, no merit or wealth is as important as her son’s health. If she knows that you are injured, she will be sad very much. Even for her, you should be more careful in the future. Try your best not to get hurt.”

“I promise.” Meng Xuan agreed casually and tightened his arms. “If you don’t want me to be injured, then I won’t dare to get myself hurt forever.” In fact, it was just a minor injury for him. Only his Xiaoyi could really get him hurt.

He Danggui lightly punched his chest in disapproval. That was not a proper attitude for a promise. He surely would forget it soon. Relying on his good Kungfu, he always took the risk. What dangerous business was he doing? Killing, robbing, or human trafficking? But these things didn’t match his character… However, the killing intent on him could not be concealed, which showed that he might have killed a lot of people. She had experienced this feeling from several men, including Zhu Quan, Chang Nuo, Gao Jue, and that masked assassin.

She sighed silently. Meng Xuan! Meng Xuan! Seeing that he was bleeding, she immediately reminded herself of the seriously injured and dying Meng Xuan in the Fantasy Dream. That Meng Xuan was almost a dead person, but he kept expressing his love to her. What an idiot!

A burst of sorrow suddenly appeared in her heart. Leaning against his chest, she asked softly, “Meng Xuan, do you love me? How much do you love me?” The future Meng Xuan said that he had fallen in love with her six years ago. He even stole her things for collection.

In other words, the current Meng Xuan had a strand of her hair and the over-sweet Hawthorn tea she made three years ago. Besides, he slept every night with the waist protector and the leg protector that she made for her mother. He had done so many things for her, but she didn’t know what exactly was the point of attracting him.

When they met each other for the first time, they both disguised themselves. He concealed his talents and even wanted to rob her Zhenqi to increase his strength to assassinate someone. Later, he came to return it, teaching her Kungfu. When did he start to have this thought? He also followed her and secretly spied on her words and deeds with other men, such as Duan Xiaolou, Gao Jue, Bai Yangbai, and even Peng Jian. Until now, she couldn’t believe that Meng Xuan, who didn’t care about anything, actually did those things.

The last time when she met him in Chengxu Academy, he grabbed her into the bamboo forest and her kiss first. Then, he poured out his thoughts. He did have a lot of words for her. In fact, she never gave him a chance to say, nor did she give him the courage. She didn’t have a crush on him, but she asked him for a promise of monogamy as if this guarantee could let her show her secrets. Sometimes, from a critic’s point of view, she was really a selfish woman. She couldn’t give him the perfect love, and how dared she to ask for it from someone else?

Meng Xuan hugged her tightly with the uninjured right arm and muffled, “I thought you had already known that. Xiaoyi, what do you doubt? I love you! Only you!” He spoke in a choked voice, and there was a quaver in his voice.

He Danggui raised her head in surprise and saw the two lines of tears on his face. She asked anxiously, “Why are crying? I was just wondering.” Did she make him sad?

Meng Xuan raised his injured left arm and stroked her face. He touched her eyebrows and eyelashes repeatedly, trying to find a trace of love. However, her eyes were as clear as water. Now, the girl still asked him how much he loved her.

He would lose his breath and his life would stop shining once he thought of her. It was because she had said that she didn’t have affection for him. How to measure this feeling?

Should he tell her about his affection? She loved someone else and only regarded him as a temporary safe haven. Now, he was not even the candidate for the false proposal, because he had been absent for three years.

“Damn it!”

Meng Xuan let out a low growl, and he immediately frightened He Danggui. She asked anxiously, “Do I hurt you? Put your arm down!” As she said, she drew down his left hand and pushed him into the bed, intending to let the wounded sleep on it. However, he did not loosen his right arm and brought her into the bed as well.

Surrounded by warm and soft senses, He Danggui was entangled by tiredness. She struggled against her will, “I am not sleepy, and you sleep by yourself. Let me treat your wound before you go.”

“Treat my wound?!” Meng Xuan caught her slender hand and pressed it against his chest. The action was so intense that the snow-white bandage was stained with redness. He put his forehead against her, and the big teardrops came out again, rolling off on her earlobes. He wailed and asked, “The only wound is in my heart. Doctor, are you willing to help me?”

He Danggui saw the blood on the bandage and said anxiously, “Stop it! Considering that you are wounded, I let you hug me. Why do you have to hurt yourself?”

“I just hate myself!” Meng Xuan’s tears continued to drop down, but he looked at her without blinking, “I hate myself. Why did I avoid you even if I knew my affection for you? Why didn’t I come to see you and let others take the lead? What I hate the most is that I only saw you at Chengxu Academy that day for once, but I can’t wipe you out of my mind. I’m about to make myself unable to breathe, eat, and live. Xiaoyi, why am I still living? I really want to live my life over again! I want to go back to three years ago when I saw you the first time!”

He Danggui was stunned. She suddenly remembered the conversation between her and Bai Yangbai in the previous life.

“Girl, let’s run away together after we finish this mission. Although you are Zhu Quan’s concubine, he will not blame me. I will compensate him someday. He has hundreds of women, but I only have you!” Bai Yangbai’s eyes were fixed on her.

But she didn’t believe him at all. She patted his forehead and asked with a smile, “Are you drunk? Which drama does it come from? It’s touching.”

Bai Yangbai widened his eyes, and her eyes were bloodshot. In the end, Bai Yangbai thumped the wall and cursed, “I’m a lunatic. I’m an idiot. I am the stupidest person in the word! I want to live my life over again! I want to go back to ten years ago!”

She didn’t understand the meaning of the words at that time. Now, she finally realized that Bai Yangbai loved her and was willing to pay the price of soul-vanishing for her, though he was pushed away by Zhu Quan with Love Poison. It turned out that in the previous life, Bai Yangbai loved her so much but she didn’t know it. Later, she finally understood the meaning of his words. Bai Yangbai hated himself because when he first saw her who was poisoned by Jinfeng Yulu Powder, he handed her to other men to detoxify it and then pushed her to Zhu Quan afterward. By the time Bai Yangbai fell in love with her, everything was too late.

It turned out that Meng Xuan also loved her just as Bai Yangbai did. It turned out that a man would hate himself for missing a girl. And the most undeniable thing was that what Meng Xuan said must be his heartfelt words because he not only said that but also did it. He came to see her from three years later risking his life. He begged her to marry him immediately and never leave him. She cried and agreed to him.

Was now the time to fulfill this promise? She looked up at Meng Xuan’s face.
