Han Mo retracted his hand and placed it in his windbreaker pocket. "Perhaps I haven't rested well these past few days. It's nothing important."
Bai Xi looked at Han Mo with a hint of scrutiny in her eyes. "Is that so?"
Han Mo smiled. "I am a doctor, so I would naturally know."
Only then did Bai Xi let it go.
Yes, Han Mo was a doctor, arguably the best doctor she had ever met. If there was any problem, he himself would know. If he couldn't solve it, she didn't know who else she could turn to.
"The day after tomorrow is our wedding day. You must adjust your state properly."
Han Mo smiled. "Don't worry, I will."
Bai Xi raised an eyebrow. "Alright, I'm going to bed then. You should get some rest too."
With that, she turned to leave.
Han Mo stepped forward directly, scooped Bai Xi up in his arms, and carried her into the room.
Bai Xi's face flushed slightly. "What are you doing?"
Han Mo chuckled. "Didn't Xi'er say I should get plenty of rest for our upcoming wedding? I'm taking my sleep aid artifact to rest now."
Bai Xi: "..."
When did she become a sleep aid artifact!
As the night deepened, Han Mo's phone screen lit up.
Han Mo opened his eyes and looked at the display on his phone.
It was a text message: Can we talk? - Bai Han.
Han Mo looked at the red butterfly fluttering its wings in the room.
As if receiving an order, the red butterfly slowly flew over, its wings fluttering. It circled Bai Xi, who was asleep, three times. Some barely visible shimmering powder gently fell, and Bai Xi's breathing deepened.
Seeing that Bai Xi's breathing had become more even, Han Mo slightly raised his hand and gently stroked the hair on Bai Xi's head. His fingers traced along the strands of hair, slowly moving to her cheek, lingering and reluctant to leave.
Just then, the phone screen lit up again, causing him to frown slightly. He could only slowly withdraw his hand, plant a kiss on her smooth forehead, and then get up.
Opening the room door, Bai Han was already standing outside.
He was holding two glasses of whiskey, each with two large ice balls. Seeing Han Mo emerge, he handed one of the glasses to him.
Han Mo took it casually and downed the drink in the glass, leaving only the large ice ball.
Bai Han frowned slightly. "That's not how you drink whiskey."
Han Mo said indifferently, "I've had enough to drink in the past three hundred years. I don't need you to teach me."
During those three hundred years of waiting and searching, he had countless times wanted to numb himself with alcohol. But the happier he was when drunk, the more painful it was when he sobered up. Gradually, his tolerance for alcohol grew, and he could no longer get drunk. It seemed no amount of alcohol could numb him anymore.
The only one who could get him drunk was his Xi'er.
Hearing this, Bai Han didn't say anything more about the alcohol and said lightly, "Let's go talk over there."
He gestured towards the balcony not far away, below which was a swimming pool.
After speaking, he walked towards that direction on his own.
Han Mo followed without a word. However, as he walked, he unconsciously held the wine glass, gently swirling it, the large ice ball rolling inside the cup, making a crisp sound.
A night breeze blew across the balcony, seeming to instantly dissipate the alcohol he had just drunk, making him feel clear-headed.
Han Mo looked at the moon rippling in the swimming pool and said faintly, "Are you here to ask about the Han family?"
Seeing Han Rui arrive today, his expression had changed upon seeing that ring. Since he suddenly sought him out, the only reason he could think of was that he wished to understand matters concerning the Han family.
Bai Han shook his head slightly. "Times have changed, and there's no need to discuss it further."
His past obsession had already caused him to lose too much. Now, that thing held little significance for him, even feeling like a mockery.
Han Mo: "Then what do you want to talk about?"
Bai Han said seriously, "About you!"
Han Mo frowned slightly. "About me?"
Bai Han nodded earnestly. "I said before that if you changed your mind, you could come find me anytime. Remember?"
The wine glass in Han Mo's hand paused slightly, the large spherical ice block thus stopping in the center of the cup. "I didn't come to you."
To be honest, he couldn't bear to.
But if it came to that, it would be pushing Xi'er into an abyss of eternal damnation.
He didn't care about the lives of others, but he absolutely could not bear to see Xi'er suffer a lifetime. Therefore, the only one he could sacrifice was himself.
In fact, he should be content. After all, all he had wanted before was to watch her from afar.
And now, he had possessed her and received her love. How could he continue to be greedy?
Thinking of this, he tightly closed his eyes.
Seeing him like this, Bai Han raised his wine glass and downed the drink inside. "I'm not here to make you reconsider, but to tell you that I'm retracting my previous words."
As he said this, Han Mo opened his eyes and looked at him with some confusion. "What do you mean?"
Bai Han directly raised the wine glass in his hand and threw it into the swimming pool before him, shattering the moonlit ripples that swayed with the water. "What happened three hundred years ago might repeat itself. Therefore, you must die in two days, die completely!"
Han Mo's pupils shifted slightly, instantly becoming silent.
Two days later, at the Lijing Furui Resort in City M.
The resort was not large, but it was a relatively classical architectural style resort in City M. At this moment, it had been decorated to resemble an ancient, elegant street, adorned with red embellishments and radiating festive joy.
This wedding was not initially planned to have many guests, but word spread, and many people ended up attending, even though Bai Xi had intended to keep it quiet.
Han Rui, Xuan Feng, Lin Xin, Lin Qi, Tong Yao, Tong Hua, even You Si and Zheng Qian, whom Bai Xi had helped before... were all among them.
And many people invited by Lin Yun and Lin Feng. The number of people present was far greater than Bai Xi had imagined.
However, upon seeing the betrothal gifts sent by Han Mo, Bai Xi no longer insisted on a simple wedding.
She also truly needed to give Han Mo the proper recognition. It was just that her subordinates from the Shadow Department... except for Shen Mingxun and Xuan Feng, she hadn't notified anyone else.
If too many people from the Shadow Department were present, and if they all came to celebrate her wedding, bringing their families along, the grandest hall might not be enough to accommodate them.
She had already decided to send wedding candy and three days of paid leave to all members of the Shadow Department after the wedding.
Her subordinates had already been released today. Those remaining to oversee the wedding arrangements were mostly the people who had delivered Han Mo's betrothal gifts. Otherwise, there truly wouldn't be enough space.
Furthermore, if ordinary guests saw those well-trained members of the Shadow Department, they might feel intimidated and unable to enjoy the wedding banquet properly.
