Imperial Commander: His Pretty Wife Is Spoiled Rotten (Book 1)

571-575

There had been a lot of things happening recently, and the meaning of these four words to her was no longer as pure and simple as before.

Mu Feichi was right. Her hands can save or hurt people.

There was a thin line between saving and hurting people. She killed people who deserved to be killed: the sinful.

It was just that in many cases she couldn't do it with peace of mind. She wasn't as omnipotent as Mu Feichi. She couldn't help but blame herself, and she hated herself when she was hurting people.

"There are some things that you can't choose yourself, so just have to follow your own heart."

"Follow your heart...? Is following Young Marshal Mu following your heart? I know you want to be strong, but I don't want to see you suffer. It's okay for girls to be pampered."

Yun Xi smiled and shook her head. "No, I have something I want to chase after. I have to put in the effort. No pain, no gain."

Looking at her resolute expression, Chen Yichen knew that the girl in front of him was destined to be extraordinary in the future.

In the end, he didn't bother to say the words that were at the tip of his tongue, attempting to dissuade her from rash actions.

Since she was destined to be extraordinary, he knew he shouldn't stop her from growing.

As long as it was something that she thought was right, he was willing to respect her wishes.

He was a man, so he understood how men thought.

Since Young Marshal Mu was willing to let her step into such a bloody and dangerous world, it meant that he also respected her choices.

At the gates of the villa complex, Chen Yichen stopped the car and turned to look at the person in the passenger seat. "I heard that your mother is back, and your aunt from the countryside is here also?"

Yun Xi nodded. "Yes."

"You haven't suffered any grievances, have you?"

"Why? This is my house. I'm the host, and she's the guest. She better not dare to offend me." Yun Xi chuckled lightly. "Don't worry about me. She's preoccupied with my mother. I found someone to keep fighting with my mother. They're busy scheming against each other, so there's no time to deal with me."

"That's good! Be careful, and come to our home for a meal when you have time. Grandma went to Wutai Mountain, but now she's back. She said that she missed you very much."

"Okay, I'll find the time to go and chat."

After pushing the car door open, Yun Xi stood outside the door and pointed to the prescription that she had given him. "Drink plenty of water, and don't work too hard. Work is important, but your health is more important."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Holding the steering wheel, Chen Yichen was about to leave. Suddenly thinking of something, he leaned over and called out to Yun Xi.

"Huh? What's the matter?" Yun Xi stopped and turned her head.

"The Spring Festival is coming soon. What kind of New Year gift do you want?"

Yun Xi froze, then she smiled, and said, "Do I need to give gifts during the Spring Festival in Kyoto?"

"This is your first Spring Festival since you've come back to Jingdu. It's a must."

"Then...send the most traditional gift."

No matter what, when giving gifts during the Spring Festival, everyone needs to return a gift anyway, so she'll just return a gift when the time comes, lest she has to worry about owing favours.
