Chapter 42 Lin Ruoxi felt so guilty
🕑 Added 2025-03-08 10:01:14 +0000 UTC“Why?”
After a long period of silence, with a poker face, Lin Ruoxi finally spouts out this word.
“Why what?”
Yang Chen asked back.
Lin Ruoxi showed the coat in her hand to Yang Chen.
“Why didn’t you wake me up?"
“I saw that you sleep so soundly, so I didn't want to wake you up.”
Yang Chen said it with a smile. He didn't know what he did wrong for her to act like this.
Lin Ruoxi raises her eyebrows, murmuring in her heart why this man could be so caring. He didn't act like he did when they first met.
Lin Ruoxi didn't know how to express herself, so what came out of her mouth was.
“Without my permission, you’re not allowed to enter my study and bedroom; otherwise, I will have you move out.”
Yang Chen was surprised a little bit, then sighed and nodded.
"I understand; I won't go inside your room without your permission again."
She saw the bitter face that Yang Chen showed. Lin Ruoxi's heart hurt. She didn't mean to say it like that.
"I—I didn't mean to say it like that."
"It's okay, I understand you. I promise, I won't do anything that you don't like."
Lin Ruoxi wanted to say something again, but she was afraid that it might make things worse, so she could only lower her head and go toward her room. He just cared about her health, but she just had to say something so hurtful to him.
But when she was about to reach her room, she heard him whisper to her from a distance.
"Don't forget to eat your meal. It won't be cold because I use my Qi to make it always warm."
Lin Ruoxi was surprised at first, but she remembered that he could do something miraculous with his Qi, so she nodded. She felt even more guilty.
…
It was late into the night, and now Yang Chen had gone to sleep, and then he woke up again.
When Yang Chen woke up, it was already dawn. Nestled against his chest, Xiao Lingxi was still sleeping soundly, her sleeping posture charmingly sweet, if one ignored the large glob of saliva on his chest.
His fogged mind gradually cleared up, and bit by bit, last night’s scene replayed in Yang Chen’s head. Though his shoulder was numb and sore after an entire night, he didn’t move, even a little, so as not to disturb Xiao Lingxi’s peaceful sleep. It was also at this time that he suddenly discovered the crimson blanket covering his body.
"So Qingyue woke up in the middle of the night, and then he brought the blanket to cover us. What a wonderful wife."
Yang Chen nodded in appreciation of Qingyue's thoughtfulness. As he gently brushed a strand of hair away from Xiao Lingxi's face, he couldn't help but feel guilty about yesterday.
He shook his head. There's nothing he could do, as he's already done it. He should be a man and take responsibility for his actions.
'Incest isn't something that can be easily brushed aside,'
He thought to himself. He knew he had to confront the situation and find a way to make things right, no matter how difficult they may be.
…
It was early in the morning. The sky had barely begun to brighten when the master of the Xiao Clan, Xiao Yunhai, was woken from his deep sleep by the sound of an urgent knock on his door.
“Clan master! Clan master, are you awake?”
Xiao Yunhai opened his eyes, took a glance at the light outside, and then asked, with a frown,
“This early in the morning, what happened?”
“It’s... it’s the Xiao... Xiao Sect! A letter from the Xiao Sect!”
From outside the door came this excited, trembling voice.
“What? The Xiao Sect?!”
This master of the Xiao Clan, one of the most powerful people in Floating Cloud City, sprung up from his bed as if stabbed by a dagger on the buttocks. He haphazardly threw on his clothes and, not even bothering to straighten his hair, threw open the door hastily, grabbing the Xiao Clan disciple that was outside. He bellowed with wide eyes.
“You said the Xiao Sect? The Xiao Sect?!”
“Yes! It’s definitely the Xiao Sect!”
That Xiao Clan disciple swallowed with great difficulty, nodded with all his strength, and then presented the letter in his hand to Xiao Yunhai.
“This letter has the eagle seal of the Xiao Sect! In this Blue Wind Empire, no one would dare to forge the Xiao Sect’s insignia.”
As soon as he saw the skyhawk seal on the letter, Xiao Yunhai’s entire body shook. He fiercely grabbed the letter, then, with violently shaking hands, quickly but carefully tore it open to reveal the paper within.
Although the Xiao Sect’s name had only one word of difference if compared to his Xiao Clan, that one word was like the difference between the clouds and mud! The Xiao Clan barely counted as the leading presence in Floating Cloud City, but on the Profound Sky Continent as a whole, it was simply a nameless existence.
However, the Xiao Sect is one of the four strongest sects in the Blue Wind Empire! They have the same level of prestige as the Heavenly Sword Villa, Frozen Cloud Asgard, and the Burning Heaven Clan. They were an existence that the Xiao Clan could not even hope to look up to.
However, today, the Xiao Sect took the initiative to send a letter! This couldn’t fail to send Xiao Yunhai into joyful hysteria, the excitement making him feel as if he were in a dream.
After reading the letter’s contents word for word, Xiao Yunhai’s face was completely red, and his breathing was erratic. He pointed a trembling finger outside, hoarsely saying,
“Quickly... quickly inform the elders to immediately gather at the main hall! Tell them we need to discuss big news concerning the future of our Xiao Clan. Go quick!”
