Chapter 1312: Final Chapter Ending One_3

Xiao Ruiyuan sat on a chair next to the recliner, staring unwavering at his fiancée with a gaze as tender as water, no longer able to hold anything else in his eyes.

Mo Yan slept particularly deeply this time, not waking until two hours later, and it was Mao Tuan’s large head pressing against her leg and disturbing the circulation that roused her.

Just awakened, Mo Yan was still somewhat groggy. She lazily removed the hat covering her eyes and, in a daze, looked at the flowers and plants swaying in the breeze in the flower bed, momentarily uncertain of where she was.

This dazed little state struck Xiao Ruiyuan right in the heart. Originally planning to wait for his fiancée to notice him, he couldn’t help but laugh out loud and stepped forward to embrace her in his arms.

The yard was too quiet, and Mo Yan didn’t expect someone to be sitting beside her. Caught off guard by the embrace, she instinctively reached out to push away, only to be held even tighter.

"What’s wrong, you don’t recognize your husband anymore? Tell me, how should I punish you for that?"

Xiao Ruiyuan pretended to be displeased as he spoke, his voice low and hypnotic, making Mo Yan feel drowsy again, so much that she neglected his words.

Seeing her like this, Xiao Ruiyuan’s heart had already turned soft, and he gently touched her flushed cheek from sleep, unable to resist leaning down to give her a kiss.

"How come you’re here? Are you off duty today?" Roused by Xiao Ruiyuan’s actions, Mo Yan was fully awake, quite surprised by his arrival.

"I hadn’t taken two days off earlier, and The Emperor granted me another two days," Xiao Ruiyuan replied, playing with Mo Yan’s delicate fingers, a trace of joy in his voice, "I can keep you company properly for these few days."

Mo Yan, hearing this, was overjoyed, "The Emperor is unusually generous this time, allowing you to relax properly for a few days."

At this point, she suddenly remembered another matter and asked, "What will happen to those Uto People? You won’t be handling that anymore, will you?"

Xiao Ruiyuan nodded, "The Ministry of Penal Affairs will take over this matter. I expect there will be a decision on how to deal with them after some time! With the status of Leituo and Weiya in Wu Tuo, they should be able to extract quite a bit of information. In any case, The Emperor won’t allow these people to return to Wu Tuo."

Although those craftsmen had developed firearms which were more flexible in combat than gunpowder, the explosive force of Wu Tuo’s gunpowder was stronger, a point no one could deny. The Emperor suspected that Wu Tuo had created something even more formidable than gunpowder and planned to pry it out bit by bit from people like Leituo.

As a result, Leituo and the others wouldn’t die anytime soon; they would likely live worse than death. Until they lost their value, that’s probably when true relief would come for them.

This, Xiao Ruiyuan chose not to tell Mo Yan.

Mo Yan hadn’t thought so much about it. Hearing that her fiancé wouldn’t have to deal with those Uto People anymore, she blurted out with joy, "If possible, I really wish you would stay away from these dangerous affairs."

No sooner had she spoken than Mo Yan regretted it. Annoyed, she lowered her head, not daring to look at Xiao Ruiyuan’s expression.

No matter how reluctant his initial enlistment was, it was undeniable that this man was born for the battlefield. Whenever they talked about the border, he always had more to say than usual, and he seemed to have much more freedom there than in Jing City.

Having chosen this man, she should have been prepared for a future of separations and a life of constant anxiety, instead of clearly showing her displeasure now, pressuring him to make promises he couldn’t keep.

Xiao Ruiyuan looked at the woman, anxious and uneasy, and felt as though his heart had been pricked by a needle—not painful but very uncomfortable. He had always thought his fiancée was different from other women, believing she longed for life on the frontier.

He had thought that if he chose to defend the frontier in the future, he would take her with him, settle down there, and show her the sunset over the long river, the solitary smoke in the desert...

Only now did he realize she was just like many other ordinary women, worried about her husband’s deployment, even if he stood unharmed before her, her heart was still fraught with anxiety about the future separations, and he, he knew this rather late!

Not hearing a response from the man for a long time, Mo Yan secretly scolded herself for acting impulsively, just as she was about to explain and tell him not to take her words to heart, she was pulled into a warm embrace.

"Yanyan, why didn’t you say so earlier?" Xiao Ruiyuan sighed and gently rubbed the top of Mo Yan’s head with his chin as he asked.

Mo Yan was bewildered: Say what earlier?
