The Phoenix is Back - Chapter 85

Chapter 085 Affection
The night was already dark, and a bright moon was hanging in the sky. A cold silver light gently scattered down, reflecting the snow that had not completely melted on the ground. It was as if a silver light from a star was jumping on the ground.

Although the scenery was good, Xiao Xiwei did not have the mood to appreciate it at this moment. After being pulled out by Chu Xizhi, the girl beside him did not follow him at all. Her cloak was still in Zi Yan’s hands. From the beginning to the end, she only felt one thing, and that was, it was cold.

“Madam, please get on the horse.” Chu Xizhi led Xiao Xiwei to a Ferghana BMW and made a’please ‘gesture.

Xiao Xiwei frowned, “It’s so late, where are you taking me?”

The corner of Chu Xizhi’s lips curved into a mysterious smile, “You’ll know in a moment.” Xiao Xiwei frowned slightly. She crossed her arms and was about to refuse when her body suddenly soared into the air. Her broad skirt drew an extremely beautiful arc in the air like butterfly wings. When she regained her senses, she had already sat on her horse. Immediately after, Chu Xizhi also jumped onto the horse’s back. Immediately after, a warm black cloak suddenly wrapped around her. A pair of large hands crossed her clothes and wrapped around her waist. Her cold back suddenly touched someone’s boiling hot chest. At the same time, a deep and sexy voice slowly rang in her ears. “Now, isn’t it cold?”

A warm aura sprayed onto her neck. Xiao Xiwei subconsciously dodged to the side. Her snow-white face was dyed red. “You, let go of me first. I didn’t say I was cold.”

Chu Xizhi chuckled, “Yes, Madam didn’t say it was cold, but I was afraid that Madam would feel heartache from being frozen.”

Chu Xi spoke of a madam, and Xiao Xiwei’s face, which was so thin that it felt as if it had been burned by fire, said, “If you continue to fool around, I’ll go back.”

“Alright, madam, if you don’t want me to say it, then I won’t say it.” Chu Xizhi endured his laughter, raised his hand, swung the reins, and urged the horse to rush out.

The cold wind whistled past his ears, but Sihao did not feel cold because he was hugged tightly by the people behind him. Finally, the horse stopped. What appeared in front of Xiao Xiwei was a small stream that looked like a jade belt. The moonlight danced in the stream, sparkling with ripples.

“If spring comes, there will be wild flowers of all colors on the bank. Perhaps we can catch some fish and roast them in the river.” Chu Xizhi sighed, “Do you want to go down for a walk?”

Xiao Xiwei nodded.

Half of her body was about to go numb from being hugged by Chu Xi Yilu like this.

After getting off the horse, Chu Xizhi untied his cloak and tied it for Xiao Xiwei. He naturally held her hand and slowly walked towards the shore.

Along the way, Xiao Xiwei did not say anything.

In the cold silver light, beside the shadows of the trees, the pair of jade figures walking together seemed to have walked out of the painting.

“Xiwei, do you still blame me in your heart?”

Xiao Xi stopped slightly. Her slender eyelashes trembled slightly and her voice whispered, “Why does Your Highness ask this?”

“Your Highness … look, you even called me Your Highness and asked me why?” Chu Xizhi sighed. He let go of Xiao Xiwei’s hand and his deep eyes gradually became serious. “Wei’er, why did you agree to me at that time?”

Xiao Xiwei frowned and looked up at Chu Xizhi without saying anything.

Chu Xizhi’s bright black eyes moved, and a bitter smile flashed across his lips. “I understand.” After saying that, he stiffly turned his face away and said, “It’s getting late. I’ll send you back.” After saying that, he raised his foot and strode over in front of Xiao Xiwei, bringing along a cold wind that blew towards Xiao Xiwei.

“Why do you think I agreed to it?” Xiao Xiwei did not turn around. She quietly looked at the stream bathed in silver light and her voice sounded cold.

Chu Xizhi stopped and stood still.

Anyone in this world could suspect her, but he was the only one who could not.

She didn’t believe in anyone else but him in her life of resurrection.

A faint mist gradually rose in her eyes. Xiao Xi raised her head slightly. She was afraid that the moment she lowered her head, tears would fall out of her eyes. “You once said that one day I would regret my decision. I also know that I would regret it, but so what?” “Is a daughter of the first wife qualified to choose if her reputation is ruined, her character is ruined, and she is not favored?”

No one knew that when Chu Xizhi stopped her from marrying Chu Yanzhi, she was more shocked than happy. However, so what? She still wanted to marry Chu Yanzhi. Even those indescribable joys were not admitted by her. It was because she knew that she was not worthy of the seventh prince like Gao Fengji Yue, not to mention that he already had Xi Le at that time …

She tried her best to deceive herself and persistently believe that the person she loved was Chu Yanzhi. However, when the fire burned and she saw Chu Yanzhi’s cold and heartless face, her heart was filled with bullying and despair. At that moment, the only thought that flashed through her mind was that it would be great if she could see him again.

“Wei’er” Chu Xizhi turned around and looked at Xiao Xiwei’s thin back in the moonlight. His heart was filled with heartache. He walked over and hugged her tightly from behind. His chin was on top of her head, and his voice was slightly choked up. “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have suspected you. I’m sorry … I’m sorry …”

She had never said these words to him, and he knew nothing of them.

In her previous life, no matter when, she always pushed him away from her, and it was always another man who kept on talking about him. In this life, although she had agreed to her proposal, she was reborn with memories just like him. He always thought that she chose him because Chu Yanzhi’s betrayal of her back then was too cruel. She couldn’t forgive him, so she had no choice but to choose him, right? He always couldn’t believe her. He couldn’t believe that the person she … loved was him.

The sounds of apology kept ringing out above his head, and the tears he had endured for a long time finally couldn’t help but fall.

Actually, he had never let her down.

On the contrary, she was the only one who had ever let him down.

Drop after drop of tears fell down like broken beads, corroding giant holes in his heart. Chu Xizhi turned around to Xiao Xiwei with heartache. He lowered his head and continuously kissed her eyes, her face, her forehead …

Xiao Xiwei finally couldn’t help but hold Chu Xizhi in her arms and cry loudly.

The fear, sadness, and entanglement that had accumulated over the past few days had all turned into sobs and cries for the man who loved him.

“Alright, stop crying. It’s all my fault. You ignored me these days. I panicked, so I thought about saying these words. I swear, I won’t doubt you again in the future.” Chu Xizhi hugged Xiao Xiwei and felt as if a huge wound had been corroded by her tears on his chest, causing him to twitch in pain.

After a long time, Xiao Xiwei’s emotions gradually calmed down. Seeing that Chu Xizhi had been staring at him, she suddenly realized that she was crying too baffled. She hurriedly glared at him, turned her head and pulled up the handkerchief to wipe away the tears on her face.

Chu Yanzhi laughed and walked over to Xiao Xiwei and pulled on the clothes on the microphone. “Look at my clothes. You wiped away all the tears and snot on my body. You must compensate me with a new one.”

Xiao Xiwei was embarrassed and annoyed, “I’ll ask A Liang to choose ten sets of clothes for you from the Silken Workshop later.”

“That won’t do.” Chu Xizhi raised his eyebrows and said, “I want you to make it yourself.”

Last time, Zi Yan told him that Young Miss was making boots for him. He was excited for a few days, but in the end, the boots were put on Xiao Xiyang’s feet. The more he thought about it, the more frustrated he became. He thought of a way to lure the shoes over.

“Good idea.” Xiao Xiwei rolled his eyes at him.

Chu Xizhi grinned and said, “That’s not the case. When the time comes, I’ll marry you home and have three or two more babies. I’ll watch you take care of your children during the day and warm your blankets at night. Don’t you think it’s not beautiful?”

“Who said anything about giving birth to a child for you … You go find someone else!” Xiao Xiwei turned around with a red face.

This person could really say anything.

Chu Xizhi smiled again. He raised his hand and pulled Xiao Xiwei into his embrace. He lowered his head and whispered in her ear, “You don’t know me yet, I only have you in my heart. Other than you, I don’t want anyone else. If you don’t give birth to me, then I can only die …”

Inexplicably, a trace of sweetness appeared in his heart, and the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but smile, “Liar.”

“Madam, you’re wronged! I can’t lie to anyone!” Chu Xizhi raised his hand and frowned innocently.

“Then Xiao Xile?” Xiao Xi raised his eyebrows slightly.

Although she didn’t want to admit it, she had some taste when he married Xiao Xile.

Chu Xizhi laughed out loud, “What, are you jealous?”

Xiao Xiwei’s face sank as he reached out and pushed Chu Xizhi away.

Chu Xi Xin hurriedly reached out and pulled her back into her arms. “Good, good, good, I was wrong. Actually, I’m quite happy to know that you’re jealous. At least it means that you care about me!” Seeing that Xiao Xiwei’s face was still sullen, he whispered into her ear, “Actually, I have never touched her at all.”

“What are you talking about?” Xiao Xi raised his eyes slightly to look at Chu Xizhi’s face full of astonishment and disbelief.

Chu Xizhi touched the tip of his nose and said, “Haven’t you heard that the Swallow King is so’masculine ‘?”

“You …”

“Alright. It’s getting late. I’ll take you back.” Chu Xizhi smiled, ignoring the astonishment on Xiao Xiwei’s face, he held her hand and walked towards the Ferghana BMW.

After returning to the camp, Chu Xizhi personally escorted Xiao Xiwei back to his tent. Just as they were about to arrive, Xiao Xiwei suddenly stopped. Following her gaze, a woman who could not see clearly was snuggling up to a man. As for that man, Xiao Xiwei and Chu Xizhi knew each other.

When Xiao Xiwei saw the woman’s face clearly, the smile on her face disappeared, and a cold glint suddenly appeared in her eyes.

“What are you doing?”

Leng Li’s voice woke the two of them up.

The woman who had just leaned in the man’s embrace pushed him away in panic. Her eyes looked at Xiao Xiwei like a frightened deer.
