Chapter 1751: Image
They even showed the footage of the princess being swept away by the water as she tried to help.
Yun Bixue was shocked when she saw the dangerous scene play out on the news.
If the rescuers did not make it in time, Xiajun Yanwu could’ve really lost her life for the sake of the civilians.
Yun Bixue put her chopsticks down. “Limo, it looks terrifying. It was a relief that you didn’t go out during the heavy rain today.”
Something s.h.i.+fted in Xie Limo’s eyes. “Why are you putting your chopsticks down. Continue eating.” After speaking, he picked up the chopsticks and placed them in her hands once again.
Yun Bixue was thinking of many things, and with those on her mind, she lost her appet.i.te.
But in order not to worry Xie Limo, she continued eating. As she ate, she couldn’t help but ask, “Limo, I think with this, Xiajun Yanwu’s place in the people’s hearts will rise so high that it would be hard to erase. It’s not impossible that she wanted the throne for herself.”
Xie Limo knew what Yun Bixue was worried about. He comforted, “Xue, your logic’s a little flawed. Think about it, is it hard to be a samaritan? Is it hard to maintain a good image?”
Yun Bixue nodded.
Xie Limo continued, “Then what about a bad image?”
Yun Bixue came to a sudden realization upon hearing that. She understood what Xie Limo was trying to say. For Xiajun Yanwu to maintain her good image, she would face restrictions on many ends, and if negative news about her surfaced, that image would crumble.
So, in fact, there was nothing to worry about. They just have to solve the problems as they come! No matter what it was, there would always be a solution.
After a while, the rain gradually turned into a drizzle.
Yun Bixue said to Xie Limo, “Let’s sleep on our bed tonight instead of the heated brick bed.”
Xie Limo was befuddled at that, but seeing Yun Bixue’s excited expression, he did not question her. As long as she was happy, he would follow what she wanted.
Xie Limo went to the second floor to adjust the temperature of the bedroom. It was autumn now, so it might be too chilly, and Yun Bixue may catch a cold from that.
When they were lying on the bed, Yun Bixue insisted on opening a small gap through the window as she chatted with Xie Limo.
The two of them listened to the dripping sound of the rain as they talked, enjoying the peace between them.
Before sleeping, Yun Bixue yawned. “Back then, when we were still in Ning An City, whenever it rained, you would accompany me to bed, and we would talk as we listened to the sound of the rain. That’s why I wanted tonight to be like that too.”
The main point of this was his embrace and voice as company in this weather, providing her with a strong sense of security.
After speaking, Yun Bixue fell asleep.
Xie Limo kissed her hair, his actions gentler than usual. “Sleep, my dear. In the future, I will always be by your side every rainy night.”
The rain stopped in the middle of the night. The next day, Xie Limo went to work as usual after instructing everyone to take good care of Yun Bixue.
Yun Bixue went back to her days of taking care of herself and going out for strolls.
Yun Dong realized that there was always a car parked near their villa. After instructing someone to investigate, she found out that it was An Yexuan.
“Miss Yun, this An Yexuan is acting weird. He doesn’t do anything other than park near our villa. He’s crazy, but we can’t chase him away just because he parked there.”
Yun Dong thought inwardly about how An Yexuan was actually pretty smart. Parking at a location that was neither near nor far, they had no reason to chase him away.
