Chapter 1834: Eagle
Yun Bixue closed her eyes and leaned against his shoulders, greedily sniffing in Xie Limo’s unique scent.
Only when she was in his arms would she lean with a peace of mind, and only then would her worries fade. Because she knew, with him around, he would hold up the skies even if it collapsed.
Xie Limo’s eyes reddened as he held her tightly, unable to say any words. Only heavens knew how much his heart ached.
If he hadn’t been restraining his emotions, he would have cried tears of heartache. Even then, he couldn’t stop his heart from trembling for a long time.
Seeing those collapsed soldiers in the princess’s compound, he knew that a brutal fight had taken place here. The bloody smells heightened his senses, making him incredibly worried.
To think she had to go through all these right after giving birth. He wanted to bash himself up ferociously.
Xie Limo kissed Yun Bixue’s hair and held her for a while before he managed to calm down and find back his own voice. “Ah Xue, my Ah Xue.”
Xie Limo’s voice was rather deep and raspy. When Yun Bixue heard this, her heart wavered. She returned the hug and said, “I’m fine.”
Perhaps other than that, she didn’t know what else to say.
How could she not understand how he felt? She knew how important she was to Xie Limo.
If it was an ordinary day, she would be staying at home at ease. But this was a special situation, and she could only do this.
From the start, she had said she was going to be an eagle who flew alongside him, not simply be a vine hiding behind him.
Now, sensing Xie Limo’s heavy emotions, Yun Bixue could only return the hug and say repeatedly, “Limo, I’m fine. I’m really fine…”
How could Xie Limo not know if she was fine or not?
In the car, a hidden guard had told him about confinement for women after giving birth. It was only then that he understood the importance of confinement to a woman after giving birth, for it concerned her health for the rest of her life.
Hence, when Xie Limo reached home and didn’t see Yun Bixue, his feelings were indescribable.
“Ah Xue, I…”
This was the first time Xie Limo felt lost for words. He really couldn’t bear to reprimand her, for he was the cause of all this. It was he who failed to protect her well, and it was he who made his lover go through so much suffering.
“Limo, you needn’t say anything. I understand. As long as we’re alright, our kids are by our side, and our whole family is together, everything is good.”
Yun Bixue actually didn’t feel it was tough on her. As a mother and a wife, she ought to be resilient and powerful.
Xie Limo took a deep breath, then whispered in Yun Bixue’s ear in a raspy voice, “The two children are at home. They’re both fine.”
Yun Bixue smiled, heart finally put to ease. “Limo, I knew you will get back our kids.”
Because she believed in him, she had led her men to capture Second Elder first.
Listening to Yun Bixue’s words, Xie Limo felt touched. “All three of you are my most cherished family. No one can tear us apart. All of you will remain by my side.”
Yun Bixue nodded vigorously. With him around, she felt a strong sense of security. She knew that Xie Limo would be true to his promise, that her children wouldn’t be brought back to the headquarters.
As if something suddenly came to her, Yun Bixue said worriedly, “Limo, did that Dongfang Mujin say you’d have to go to the secret hall?”
Xie Limo’s expression changed. He lowered his head and kissed Yun Bixue’s lips, stopping her from saying what she was about to say.
