462 I Like Good Weather
Gu Nuo’er twisted her small body and said delicately, “Hmph, of course. Baby Nuo is a barrel of laughs!”
After saying that, she wanted to leave Ye Siming’s arms.
However, Ye Siming refused to let go and only hugged her tightly.
“Let me hug you for a while.”
When Gu Nuo’er heard this, she really stopped moving obediently.
Ye Siming retracted his wolf ears.
He rested his chin on Gu Nuo’er’s shoulder and greedily breathed in the sweet fragrance for a moment.
“Gu Nuo’er, do you know that on the day I first saw you, I took a good look at the sky here for the first time? The sky that day was very blue. I’ve never seen such good weather in the Asura Realm.”
Gu Nuo’er tilted her head and asked curiously, “Are there no blue skies and white clouds in the Asura Realm?”
“Mmm,” Ye Siming replied indifferently. “There are only darkness and dull colors. If you see the place, you won’t like it.”
He had been a demon G.o.d for a thousand years in an environment filled with violence, filth, and darkness.
Gu Nuo’er was wonderful, just like the weather on the day they first met—clear and blue.
“I like good weather,” Ye Siming suddenly added without rhyme or reason.
Gu Nuo’er blinked and echoed softly, “I like it too!”
Ye Siming pursed his lips and smiled faintly.
He thought that he probably wasn’t going to leave for the time being.
Gu Nuo’er was so young. If he wanted to repay her kindness, he had to be responsible to the end.
At the very least, he probably had to wait until she was 80 or 90 years old before he could be at ease.
At night, Ye Siming went to eat with Gu Nuo’er.
The two of them were famished. Madam Bai watched as the two of them ate the dishes and drank the soup in unison, not forgetting to take care of each other while doing so.
Madam Bai chuckled and sighed. “Eat slowly. There’s more.”
It was really strange. When did Siming come back?
…
At night, in Xie Xingli’s manor.
Xie Xingli’s wife knelt in the study and begged Xie Xingli.
“Husband, please save my brother! He’s the only son in our family. My mother heard that he was hung outside the city wall and is on the verge of death. She’s so anxious that she can’t eat anymore and looks like she’s about to die as well.
“Please intercede with the emperor on account of our relationship as husband and wife over the past few years. You can’t torture my younger brother like this!”
Xie Xingli’s head hurt when he heard this. He slammed the table and scolded her angrily, “You’re muddle-headed! Why don’t you ask what Third Zhang did? It’s fine if he usually does evil in the capital with my reputation as an official.
“There hasn’t been any big trouble and I’ve turned a blind eye to it. Isn’t this considered giving you face?
“But do you know what trouble he got into this time? He brought people to s.n.a.t.c.h the little princess’s shop and happened to b.u.mp into the n.o.ble consort in the shop!
“He had the audacity to tease the n.o.ble consort. I don’t have the life to vouch for him again! I think it’s already a blessing that he won’t be cut into a thousand pieces! You should be content!”
Madam Xie kept crying. She wanted to plead for mercy again.
However, Xie Xingli stood up, not intending to listen to what she had to say.
“I’m going to the suburbs for two days to be in charge of handling a case. You’re not allowed to cause trouble. Your brother’s matter ends here. If I find out if you’ve any plans to offend the emperor, I’ll chase you out of the house too!”
After saying that, Xie Xingli flicked his sleeves and got the butler to prepare his things before leaving in a carriage.
Xie Liuhua had been standing outside the door. Seeing that Lord Xie had left, she quickly entered the house and helped the crying Madam Xie up.
“Mother, don’t cry. Even if Father doesn’t care, it’s not like we don’t have a way to save Uncle.”
