Lin Yun was slightly taken aback, but quickly understood Han Mo's meaning: his thoughts were the same as hers, hoping Bai Xi would be safe and happy. His thinking and acting this way was enough; the rest was up to fate. "Then you two sit here for a while, I'll go ask Sisi to bring over the warmed-up food."
Han Mo nodded obediently, "Mm."
Lin Yun walked away, leaving only Han Mo and Bai Xi.
Bai Xi looked at Han Mo and raised an eyebrow slightly, "Although my memory is fragmented, I vaguely recall a few snippets. Ah Mo didn't seem to talk much before. If I had to describe it in one word, it would be 'a love that speaks of death'!"
Not only did he speak little, but once he did, love was gone.
Han Mo reached out again, gently flicking her nose, "There's no other way. Because in the previous life, you didn't choose me, and I thought my previous self was very annoying to you, so I started learning slowly, learning how to speak, how to make you like me."
Bai Xi raised an eyebrow, "So, the six years you were away from me, you went to learn these things?"
Han Mo shook his head, "Six years isn't enough to learn it all."
He had been learning for three hundred years.
Yes, although he had always felt guilt in his heart, always thinking that if Xi'er were reborn, he would have no right to approach her and could only guard her silently, yet... he continued to learn silently, learning how to be a man she would like.
This hidden desire had always been there; he had just been deceiving himself.
Therefore, the moment Bai Xi kissed him, the love and longing within him, like a fierce beast, were ignited, and he could no longer bear to leave even half a step.
Bai Xi raised an eyebrow, "So, you still haven't told me, since your memory is intact and you say you like me, why did you leave six years ago after saving me?"
Han Mo pondered for a moment and said, "Just some concerns..."
Concerns about whether he was qualified, concerns that Xi'er might dislike him, or even hate him.
Bai Xi was stunned for a moment, then slowly understood.
It was probably because Han Mo thought she liked the man from her memories, and thus didn't want to be a third party. It made sense, just as she had thought before.
"Forget it, I'll let you off the hook. I won't discuss this meaningless topic with you." The past is gone. Instead of dwelling on the past and regretting the missed opportunities, it's better to cherish the present and not feel ashamed and regretful like today. "As long as you don't arbitrarily leave me from now on, that's fine."
Han Mo reached out and took her hand, their fingers interlaced, and said gently, "Never."
He had waited for over three hundred years for her to return. How could he bear to leave?
Just then, Lin Yun and Feng Sisi returned. Feng Sisi was pushing a trolley with a dining cart laden with various dishes. Lin Yun looked at Han Mo and Bai Xi's clasped hands with a smile, "What are you two chatting about? You seem so happy?"
Han Mo said, "I promised Xi'er that I would never leave her."
Lin Yun smiled even more brightly, "That's good, that's good."
Feng Sisi placed the dishes on the dining table, and Bai Xi and Han Mo naturally took their seats. They both had good dining etiquette, eating quietly without speaking.
Lin Yun looked at the increasingly well-matched couple, her smile beaming. After a while, she said, "Since you two are so sweet, why not have the wedding next month?"
At these words, Bai Xi almost spat out the chicken soup she had just taken into her mouth.
The third day of next month? Today was already the twenty-sixth!
"Mom, isn't that a bit too soon?"
Feng Sisi looked at Bai Xi's instantly changed expression and quickly said, "Yes, Madam, this is a bit too rushed, it's not easy to arrange!"
Lin Yun looked at Bai Xi, "But, there's only the third day of next month suitable for marriage this year. If you want to pick another auspicious day, it will have to wait until next spring."
Feng Sisi said, "Spring is good. With flowers blooming and a hundred schools of thought contending, it's suitable for marriage."
Lin Yun looked at Han Mo, "Mo'er, which date do you think is suitable?"
Han Mo said, "The third day of next month. I will prepare the betrothal gifts in advance."
Lin Yun quickly waved her hand, "No need, no need. Didn't you say you wanted to live with us? According to tradition, we should prepare some things for you. However, I know you are doing this because you love Xi'er, not for other reasons, so preparing those things... might give you other ideas. But I assure you, after you and Xi'er get married, Xi'er's will be yours. If she dares to bully you, I will stand up for you."
Bai Xi frowned.
She bullies him?
His skills were definitely not inferior to hers. If they fought to the death, it was uncertain who would come out on top.
Her mother actually thought she could bully him, which only proved that Han Mo's persona as a kind and harmless pure white moonlight was incredibly successful.
However, she believed him.
This wasn't right either. In her previous life, her combat power was clearly higher than his. How could they be about the same now? Could it be... she had regressed in this life?
Han Mo met Bai Xi's gaze without reservation and said, "Mom, the betrothal gifts are my gesture of sincerity, and I must give them to Xi'er. As for other things, Xi'er and I are together because we love each other, so we will definitely understand each other, accommodate each other, and support each other in the future. However, thank you, Mom."
Bai Xi: "..."
So, Han Mo, thinking she didn't like his past self, had cultivated himself into a "green tea man"?
Lin Yun looked at Han Mo before her, her satisfaction growing with every glance, "This child is so good."
Bai Xi: "..."
Indeed, people like to hear nice words, especially women.
Lin Yun began to fantasize about Han Mo and Bai Xi's married life, "Once you're married, Xi'er can take Mo'er with her to work. Wherever she goes, she'll have someone to look after her, and I'll be relieved. Moreover, you can consider having a child early. The family is large enough that neither of you needs to raise them alone. With two more children, it will be livelier..."
Bai Xi watched Lin Yun's thoughts drift further and further away, truly not wanting to disrupt her reverie.
Honestly, whether she married Han Mo sooner or later, she didn't care.
They had missed each other in the previous life, and now that they were finally together, she was very happy to make Han Mo her husband. However, the timing was indeed not ideal.
Bai Xi reached up and pressed her temples, "The third day of next month is indeed a bit tight. I have a business trip to make later."
Lin Yun finally stopped fantasizing, her brow furrowing slightly, her eyes filled with deep worry, "Another business trip? Where are you going this time? What are you doing?"
Bai Xi looked at Lin Yun's worried gaze, a slight ripple passing through her heart.
Ever since her brother mentioned that incident, her mother would surely worry more about her safety. This was probably one of the reasons Lin Yun was eager for her to get married soon. It was as if once she was married, she would have a stable home and wouldn't leave easily.
