Li Xiao paused.
Lin Xiaoyue instantly understood.
At the same time, the uneasiness in her heart began to spread rapidly.
“Did you…meet him before you and Qing’er were sold?” Lin Xiaoyue asked.
She had some guesses about Li Xiao and Qing’er’s past, but she had never delved into it.
Li Xiao’s behavior today made her think about it.
Li Xiao’s expression changed and he quickly looked away.
Lin Xiaoyue’s heart immediately sank.
She paused for a moment, then reached out and grabbed Li Xiao’s arm.
“Where did you and Qing’er come from? Can you…tell me?”
Li Xiao froze.
He didn’t speak for a long time.
Lin Xiaoyue’s face flashed with disappointment. Just when she thought she couldn’t get the answer, Li Xiao grabbed her hand.
Then, Lin Xiaoyue saw Li Xiao turn around and look at her.
“Sure, but can you tell me your secret?” Li Xiao’s eyes looked nervous.
Lin Xiaoyue’s expression changed and she quickly dodged his gaze.
That’s right, Li Xiao had been with her for so long.
When he and Qing’er came to live with them, there were many things in the house that they did not have time to hide.
It would be strange if he wasn’t suspicious.
He had just been holding it in and did not ask.
Heh, they knew that the other had secrets, but they didn’t ask. Were they afraid that the other person would ask about their secrets?
They were worried that telling each other the truth would affect their relationship.
Do they want to come clean now?
Lin Xiaoyue’s eyes flashed with hesitation.
Should she say it or not?
That she was a ghost from the end of the 21st century that had transmigrated to this time and s.p.a.ce and occupied this body?
Would he think that she was a monster?
However, if she didn’t say it, it wouldn’t seem fair to him. After all, she was the one who asked him about his background.
Lin Xiaoyue was hesitating when Li Xiao suddenly pulled her into his arms.
Lin Xiaoyue almost cried out in surprise.
She glanced around to make sure that the surroundings were quiet and that no one heard them. Only then did she feel relieved.
Listening to Li Xiao’s soft grunt, she felt as if she was sitting on pins and needles and did not dare to move.
Seeing his wife’s flushed face, Li Xiao couldn’t help but smile.
He pulled her fully into his arms.
“Forget it. You only need to promise not to leave me. 1 will tell you everything.” His magnetic voice rang in her ears, and the tips of Lin Xiaoyue’s ears burned.
At the same time, her heart was beating fast.
The strong scent of hormones muddled her thoughts.
He wanted to know her secret because he was afraid that she would leave him?
“I promise.” Lin Xiaoyue’s heart skipped a beat as she replied in a low voice.
Only then did Li Xiao relax.
Then, he whispered to his wife about his relationship with Xiao Qing.
“I’m actually a fugitive…”
Lin Xiaoyue’s embarra.s.sment instantly disappeared and was replaced by shock.
Fugitive?
Li Xiao looked at Lin Xiaoyue’s side profile. Seeing that she was only shocked and not afraid, he felt more at ease.
“The man who died in The War of Nangong was my G.o.dfather.”
Lin Xiaoyue was shocked.
“The Great General?!” She exclaimed softly.
This person was quite famous. Even in a small place like Daishi Village, everyone had heard of his name.
It was said that the reason why the country had been able to avoid wars for so many years was all because of The Great General.
Unfortunately, the national treasure had died in battle a year ago.
When the news reached Daishi Village, many people in the village grieved for him.
Li Xiao hugged Lin Xiaoyue’s arm tightly.
“Yes.”
“Everyone thought that he was my G.o.dfather. In fact, I’m his biological son.”
At that time, the battle with the Jin Country was extremely difficult.
His father said that when the war was over, he would ask the emperor to restore his ident.i.ty and retire.
Unfortunately, they were betrayed and his father died.
And he, with the remainder of his army, managed to survive and returned.
After the two countries negotiated peace, they received the emperor’s order to return to court..
