Chapter 286 Carry You Till The End Of Time
Translator:Atlas StudiosEditor:Atlas Studios
Yun Bixue was immersed in Xie Limo's refined aura, and couldn't extricate herself from him.
After saying those few words, Xie Limo's gaze zeroed in on the supplements, and he didn't dare to look at Yun Bixue. Nonetheless, he felt a searing stare on him. As he turned and looked over, he discovered his wife gawking at him, smitten.
His ear lobes grew even more red. Striding forward, he stood in front of Yun Bixue. Lowering his head, he asked, "My dear, is your husband that good-looking?"
Yun Bixue snapped out of her daze and hurriedly lowered her head. After regaining her composure, she wondered why she had lowered her head. It was her husband who had been blushing, not her. Lifting up her head, she smiled, "My husband, my hubby, your flushed complexion looks stunning."
Xie Limo looked at Yun Bixue, and reached out to bop her nose. "You're so playful. However, you should take some of these supplements." His tone was laden with endless indulgence.
Yun Bixue looked at the huge bag sitting beside the table, and her head started to throb. "There's so much. Do you think I am a pig?"
"Even if you're a pig, you're also one that I am raising. One that I am raising for my whole life."
Hearing Xie Limo's words, Yun Bixue's despondence completely dissipated. It was weird. With just one word, he could turn her mood brighter and make her feel warmer.
Suddenly, Yun Bixue recalled what Xie Limo had just said. She asked, "What did you mean by 'women have to go through that experience for several days during every month'?"
For a respectable person like Xie Limo, he truly couldn't verbalize those words for the second time. He caressed Yun Bixue's hair and answered, "If you weren't having one of those days like all women do, why did you look glum today? I can tell at one glance that you're unhappy."
Yun Bixue was surprised. She opened her mouth but didn't know how to begin. Looking at Xie Limo's gentle gaze, she burst into a sweet laughter. Her imagination had actually ran wildher husband really had no idea why she was angry.
Yun Bixue pursed her lips and murmured, "Do you still not know when I'm experiencing those days?"
Xie Limo's lips and corners of his eyes gently curved up. He looked extremely enchanting, but he merely smiled without saying a word. Caring about someone could surely make one confused. Indeed, regarding when she would experience those days, he was even clearer than her.
He didn't say anything, and simply lowered his head and lightly pecked Yun Bixue's lips. "Then why were you unhappy?"
Yun Bixue stammered. She felt rather embarrassed and didn't know how to say it. She was definitely in the wrong for letting her imagination run amok. Even she herself didn't know what had gotten into her mind.
"If you don't tell me, you'll have to receive punishment"
Seeing that dark glint in Xie Limo's eyes, Yun Bixue hurriedly surrendered. Raising her hands, she said, "Yes, yes, I'll tell you." Her husband's stamina was too outstanding. During each punishment, both her body and mind would be thrown around repeatedly.
Moreover, they would be celebrating the New Year tomorrow. She still wanted to wake up earlier.
"Yes, my dear. If you don't do a good job, you will also be punished."
Yun Bixue felt bashful for some time. She then explained everything that happened yesterday. Finally, she added, "Limo, actually, I feel very contented. The day when we grow old is still far away. Therefore, even if we're together when our hair had turned white, you definitely wouldn't be able to carry me too."
At this moment, Xie Limo finally recalled the conversation they had last night. His eyes glinted as his lips curled up into a gorgeous curve. Finally, he chuckled softly, his chest reverberating.
Yun Bixue had already been feeling abashed. Hearing Xie Limo's laughter, she stood up and said, "I knew you would laugh at me. I'm not speaking anymore. I'm going to the bedroom to sleep."
Xie Limo reached out and pulled Yun Bixue over into his embrace. Lowering his head, he gently said, "My wife is so silly, so muddle-headed. Listen carefully, I will only answer you once. Even if we are old and we can't move anymore, I would still carry you on my back. As long as I can still walk, I will carry you until the end of time."
Chapter 287 Worn Out Heart

Xie Limo wasn't adept at whispering sweet nothings. In the past, he had always been respectable and elegant. Someone had even likened him to a celestial being. He was gorgeous, luxurious, and ethereal.
He would only reveal his warm side with his family. In particular, he showed an additional side in front of Yun Bixue. He could be indulgent towards her, or dominate over her. He could also do things for her carefully, and sweet-talk her.
Even though he didn't feel the need to verbalize many things, he was still willing to do so, to make his wife feel at ease.
As Yun Bixue listened, she smiled sweetly. She looked just like a young lady who was experiencing love for the first time. In a hazy, careful manner, a young lady would fret over every word her lover said. She would also be in great spirits over his every utterances.
She rested her head on Xie Limo's shoulder and deeply inhaled the elegant fragrance emanating from his body. She clung on, reluctant to part with the smell. She also indulged in the aroma.
Watching how Yun Bixue was leaning adorably against his body, Xie Limo's heart turned incredibly soft. With a swift movement, he carried Yun Bixue in his arms and walked into the bedroom to turn in for the night.
On the other hand, the atmosphere in the Su family was horrid. Meng Xinyan took advantage of her pregnancy, and threw her weight around. Mother Su could only endure it and serve her calmly.
In spite of that, Mother Su was boiling with anger inside. Meng Xinyan was an eyesore. She could understand why her son had not returned home.
Sigh, why did their Su family take a liking to such a pretentious person like Meng Xinyan in the first place? Even Meng Xintong was better than her.
She simply couldn't take it anymore. At night, Mother Su nagged incessantly at Father Su. The latter grew sick of listening, and yelled at her, "Isn't it because you've spoiled her? Moreover, we did desert the Yun family and chose the Meng family instead. We have to own up to our decisions. Don't you repeat those words to outsiders, especially to those sisters of yours. They are also not easy to deal with. If this matter gets out, my Su family will completely lose face."
Mother Su muttered, "Does the Su family still has any esteem?"
Father Su raged. "What did you say?"
"I didn't say anything. Go to sleep."
However, she couldn't fall asleep no matter how hard she tried. When Mother Su woke up, she realized it was already after midnight. Her son had not returned. She grew rather worried and called Su Lenghan.
After settling his work, Su Lenghan immediately searched for a five-star suite nearby and slept. He had initially planned to rest in the tatami at his office, but he recalled that it was where Meng Xinyan and him had slept together for the first time. His mood turned irritable, and he then decided to sleep at the five-star suite.
Receiving his mother's call, Su Lenghan felt rather exhausted. He listened to his mother's whining over the phoneit was entirely about Meng Xinyan's flaws. As her son, he was caught between them and was in a difficult spot.
"Mum, it's been hard on you."
Hearing those words, Mother Su's heart turned bitter. Tears almost welled out of her eyes. "Lenghan, it hadn't been hard on me. I have lived my entire life for you. However, I feel sorry for you. You will have to spend your life with someone like that. What will you do?"
"Mum, Xinyan might change for the better." Su Lenghan was also trying to comfort himself.
"Lenghan, it's New Year's Eve tomorrow. Come home with your younger sister. Didn't our family use to be harmonious too?"
Su Lenghan heard the misery in his mother's words. His heart felt tender, and he was full of self-reproach. If it weren't for him, his mother wouldn't have to suffer such grievances. "Mum, I will go home to celebrate the New Year tomorrow. I will accompany you and Father. I will also fetch Younger Sister home."
"Yes, yes." Mother Su finally felt some consolation in her heart.
After ending the call, Su Lenghan thought about the past unwillingly. Back then, Yun Bixue was very respectful to his mother. When the two of them went out, Yun Bixue would always buy gifts and food for Su Lenghan to bring back to his mother. Mother Su hadn't given it much thought at that time. She thought that it was only natural for Yun Bixue to do all that.

Su Lenghan knew that his mother was a loving parent. Yet, she was overly astute in some regards.
However, he was her son, and couldn't refuse his mother. After all, she truly loved her son.
After Mother Su ended the call, she sighed. Sitting quietly in the living room, she thought about Yun Bixue. In the past, Yun Bixue would always bring her gifts. Back then, she put on a stance of a mother-in-law. She felt that Yun Bixue had to curry favor with her future mother-in-law in order to enter the Su family. She thought that everything was merely necessary and natural.
However, she supported her son in choosing the Meng family later on. She then grew to look down on Yun Bixue.
Thinking back, she kicked herself over her regrets. There was truly no way in which Meng Xinyan could be compared to Yun Bixueno way at all. She didn't realize Yun Bixue's wholesomeness back then, and it was too late now. If Yun Bixue had really ended up as her daughter-in-law, she would thank the heavens sincerely.
Nonetheless, these 'ifs' would simply remain as 'ifs'. Since Yun Bixue had a more brilliant person by her side now, her son could only be stuck together with Meng Xinyan. Even though they were unhappy, they still had to spend each day together.
Mother Su breathed out a long sigh as she rose to walk towards the bedroom. Her back was no longer as upright as it used to beit was loaded with a hint of sorrow and fatigue.
At the Meng family, Meng Xintong used this trying period of time to put on her best performance. Father Meng had finally acknowledged his daughter. Nonetheless, he was still evaluating his eldest daughter's worth for the sake of his youngest son.
Meng Xintong wasn't bothered by this. She wanted to see how her biased father would react after she exposed the information she had grasped in her hands.
Faraway in Country E, Noel Harlem University was rehearsing for the New Year's Party. Huang Yize led the members of the student union, personally observing and guiding them.
Before the sun rose the next day, the entire city began echoing with sounds of firecrackers being set off. 'Crackle, crackle!' The noises of the firecrackers were endless, and the whole city was engulfed in a festive atmosphere.
Yun Bixue and her family also woke up early.
Xie Limo looked at Yun Bixue's energetic expression and gently laughed, "Why aren't you sleeping a little longer?"
Yun Bixue lifted the blankets and started to prepare. "Today is New Year's Eve, and also the day that I have looked forward to the most. I am so excited. I can't just continue sleeping after hearing the sounds of the firecrackers." It had been more than a decade since she had experienced the celebratory feeling of the New Year. This year, she had him, a family, and an anticipation for the new year.
Xie Limo watched Yun Bixue in such a jubilant mood and was infected by her cheerfulness. He never thought that he would look forward to celebrating the new year.
Moreover, he had his parents and wife by his side this year. Without those annoying elders from the Xie family, his mood was rather pleasant.
Since morning, the whole family began to prepare their meals. The servants were mostly from the Xie family, and were all celebrating the new year in another living room in the villa.
"Elder Sister, I heard that the rice and vegetables that Brother-in-law had requested his subordinates to send over are all organic and grown in unpolluted lands." Yun Bilu merrily plucked at the vegetables as she washed them.
"I can do this on my own. Accompany Grandfather instead. You haven't returned home for so many years, " Yun Bixue said as she gently shoved her younger sister.
"Aiya, Elder Sister, Grandfather is currently having a chat with Uncle Xie. He wanted me to help you out too."
Yun Bixue stretched her head and peeked. Indeed, her grandfather and Xie YaocangXie Limo's fatherwere sitting in front of the table and playing chess. She didn't know what they were talking about, but they looked amicable. Despite being a distance away, she could still hear her grandfather's hearty laughter.
Seeing her grandfather in great spirits, Yun Bixue felt truly grateful towards Xie Limo. If it weren't for him, she wondered what kind of plight their family would be in this year.
Ji Qiongxin, Xie Limo, and Mummy Lu were cooking in the kitchen.
After plucking the vegetables, Yun Bixue lent a helping hand as well. Xie Limo noticed that her sleeves were soaked with water, and said, "Go change out of your clothes. They are all soaked."
Chapter 289 An Episode On New Year's Eve

Yun Bixue had not even noticed that her sleeves were soaked. She reckoned that it happened when she was shoving her younger sister away.
Ji Qiongxin was chopping up the vegetables by the side as she laughed, "Bixue, that child, Limo, loves you dearly. He's not as attentive towards his father and I." With a sigh, she added, "He spends all his efforts on his wife. He isn't even worried that his mother would be jealous." Ji Qiongxin's words were loaded with a teasing undertone.
Xie Limo scrubbed away all the fish scales and gently chuckled, "Mother, you have Father pampering you. Do you still need your son? I naturally have to indulge in my wife."
Ji Qiongxin's eyes were brimming with a radiant smile. "Yes, I know you pamper your wife. Your mother does too. "
This year was the year that she felt happiest. She had extricated herself from the many rules in the Xie family, and could relax and celebrate the New Year with her family. She was on cloud nine.
She owed it all to her daughter-in-law.
Yun Bixue didn't feel embarrassed. Instead, her heart felt warm. She went to her bedroom, then changed into a fresh set of clothes before going downstairs to resume her task.
In the afternoon, they prepared a huge tub of rice and dishes that filled the entire table. It was a sumptuous display as there were different kinds of mouthwatering food. Everyone in the family demonstrated their best capabilities and put out all their finest dishes.
Hence, the round table was completely filled. Even a hundred people wouldn't be able to finish it.
Yun Bilu was giddy with excitement as she jumped up and down. "Grandfather, Elder Sister, today's lunch is too sumptuous. I feel hungry just by looking at it!"
"You can eat soon. There's also your specialty dishes here. This time, Grandfather can try them."
"That lass, Bilu, is also a capable girl." Ji Qiongxin praised.
"Aunty Ji, you're the amazing one. You know how to cook many dishes. I've been immensely inspired by today's meal. It is also greatly beneficial to my cafe chain."
"I'm glad that I have been of help. Your Elder Sister will also feel happy for you." Ji Qiongxin was truly fond of Yun Bixue, and sincerely felt happy for her. She was fortunate to have such a lively and sensible younger daughter.
Yun Bilu hastily snapped a picture of everything, and used her phone to send them to her roommates faraway in Country E. She then put on her elegant skirt, and requested Yun Bixue to take a picture of her. Afterwards, she also forwarded her picture to her roommates.
At that moment, the entire department was gathering for a meal. Huang Yize was on the stage giving a speech.
Xiao Huan and the other two girls checked their phones and saw the picture of Yun Bilu in a skirt. The moment they saw it, they exclaimed excitedly. It seemed like they had forgotten where they were, and had thought that they were in their hostel.
"Quick, take a look! Our Little Lulu can also wear a skirt and look pretty!"
"Let me see, let me see! I'm so hungry. That table is full of food. It's working up my appetite"
Two of her roommates exclaimed continuously while the other remained composed. The latter tugged at their shirts forcefully, and quietly instructed, "Get ahold of yourselves. Take note of the setting."
The three of them were thrown into a frenzy by Yun Bilu. After Xiao Huan and Qiunuo regained their composures, their faces turned red. That photo had truly been too shocking, making them lose their self-control.
The two of them bowed apologetically to the crowd and hurriedly sat down. They stole a glance at the president of the student union, Huang Yize, as they wondered what expression he wore on his face.
After Huang Yize was interrupted, he didn't continue much longer. He simply instructed everyone to start eating before striding off.
"Young Master Huang can't be angry, can he?"
"I don't know. Those three are Yun Bilu's roommates. Did they say that the girl wearing a skirt in the photo was Yun Bilu? Could Young Master Huang be upset over this?"
Because of this small episode, the students of the department began discussing about it, creating a wave of hot debate. Everyone remembered that Yun Bilu had still been around last year. Why was she missing this year?
"I heard that she returned home."

Translator:Atlas StudiosEditor:Atlas Studios
Once someone mentioned that Yun Bilu had returned home, everyone gaped in shock. "Is that true? She really went home?"
"Of course, I can't possibly lie to you. Otherwise, why haven't we seen her for so long? If she was in her room, she would surely try to woo Young Master Huang."
"No, our Country E is under strict governance now. Most people are unable to leave Country E. Why was Yun Bilu able to leave? How did she do it?"
"That's right. She's just an ordinary needy student. How could she just leave Country E? This requires high-management approval. Ahh! Could it be that she has a powerful backer?"
"She applies to be a needy student every month. All her things are shoddy. How could she possibly have a powerful backer?"
"Then why can't the children from royal families like us leave the country? Why was she able to? She definitely has a more powerful backer than us. Oh, right. Have you met her mysterious elder sister? Her clothes and accessories were beyond compare"
It had originally been a gathering for the department, but it ultimately ended up as a discussion session about Yun Bilu. Everyone came to realize that Yun Bilu's background was definitely not as simple as it seemed. She was perhaps more influential and powerful than all of them at the venue.
That realization sent shivers down their spines. If it were true, Yun Bilu had been too strange. She had kept a low profile, and had not been materialistic. It would be difficult to find this kind of lady nowadays.
On the second floor, Huang Yize could distinctively see the faces of everyone on the first floor of the luxurious hall. He could even hear the words of some people. His gaze was vague, giving an enigmatic expression.
Noel Harlem University in Country E was buzzing with discussion about the matter. On the contrary, the Xie family's villa was in a harmonious environment.
Everyone sat around the table and began eating. With Yun Biluthe life of the partyaround, the mood was lively. All of them let loose and ate with gusto.
"Mum, eat more of this. This is nourishing for your body." Yun Bixue sat beside Ji Qiongxin, constantly scooping and serving more food for her mother-in-law.
Deep down, Ji Qiongxin was extremely moved. With such a daughter-in-law, she was very contented.
In addition, after spending a long time here, she didn't want to return home anymore. She felt comfortable and at ease here, much better than being at the Xie family's. There were simply too many rules at the Xie family household.
They chatted over lunch. Finally, Xie Limo pulled Yun Bixue up, and they offered a toast to their elders. They started with Old Master Yun. "Grandfather, thank you for entrusting Bixue. Today is New Year's Eve, and a happy occasion. Together with Yun Bixue, I wish to offer Grandfather a toast. I wish you health and longevity."
Yun Bixue also felt emotional as she added, "Grandfather, it's been hard on you for the past few years."
"It's not hard, not hard An old man like me can live a happy and prosperous life because of you now."
Old Master Yun was overjoyed. Standing up, he drank the whole cup of alcohol. The rims of his eyes turned red.
Xie Limo and Yun Bixue also offered a toast to Xie Yaocang and Ji Qiongxin. His parents were thrilled. This was the only year that they felt like a family, and that they welcomed the new year together.
Following that, Yun Bilu offered a toast to her grandfather. Yun Bixue and Yun Bilu then offered one to Mummy Lu.
Overall, the lunch they enjoyed this afternoon was a joyous one.
After lunch, everyone gathered to watch the TV and play chess. They debated over the current affairs. Shortly after, they began to bustle around as they prepared the dumplings.
They chopped up the vegetables, marinated the ingredients, and cooked the noodles.
After preparing it, they placed it on a large heat board on the dining table. All the family members watched the news on the TV while wrapping the dumplings.
At that time, it was airing the politics regarding Country E. It reported that Old Marshall Ou had been demoted by the high level management in Country E. His military power had been removed, in hopes that this would appease the international Black Dragon Gang.
