661 I will fulfill this friendship [Bonus chapter]
Ye Xin was ready to go to the bed when she heard a knock on the window. Initially, she thought she heard wrong. But later when someone again knocked on the window, she walked there to check. She opened the window and was surprised to see Xiwan.
He jumped in and closed the window quickly.
"You?" Ye Xin exclaimed when he asked her to stay quiet by putting his lips on his finger.
Ye Xin nodded and held his hand to take him inside the bedroom.
"Why did you come from the window?" Ye Xin asked in an extremely low voice.
"As if I was allowed to enter from the door," Xiwan said. "I was missing you," he whispered and sat on the bed.
"We were together the entire day," Ye Xin said and sat beside him.
"That was not enough for me," Xiwan said and turned to face her.
"I will be with you after three days... As your wife," Ye Xin stated and moved a bit close to him. They held each other's hand and continued to smile.
"Ye Xin, Princess Consort Li Hua wanted to meet you. If you have time, go with me to the palace in the morning," Xiwan opined.
"I would love to," Ye Xin said.
"Ye Xin, should I sleep here with you?" Xiwan asked.
"What?" Ye Xin exclaimed.
"I will leave early in the morning without any trace. No one will find out I was here," Xiwan told her.
Ye Xin was mesmerized by his confidence. "What if you won't be able to get up? What will you do then? Do you want me to keep my eyes down for three days in embarrassment?" Ye Xin questioned her. 𝘣𝘦𝘥𝘯𝑜𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝑐𝑜𝑚
"You are undermining me, Ye Xin," Xiwan asserted.
"I am stating the fact," Ye Xin said.
"Fine. I will not sleep here. You should go to sleep and then I will leave," Xiwan opined. He ran his fingers through her soft hair and asked her to lie on the bed.
"Don't you want to sleep with me anymore?" Ye Xin asked him. She knew how happy he would feel in her presence. He would forget about his old days around her.
"You are confusing me," Xiwan said.
"You never shared with me what was your past life. You always say it was not too good to share," Ye Xin asserted.
"I told the truth," Xiwan replied. "Everyone in my family died in front of my eyes. It was torturous. Monk Yuze saved me and looked after me. He trained me into the person I am today. You need to know only this," Xiwan said while keeping a tiny smile on his lips.
Ye Xin wrapped her arms around him and hugged him. "I will not leave you. Until the last breath of my life, you will see me with you, Xiwan. We will build a family soon and live happily," Ye Xin affirmed.

Miaoran placed her hand above Feng Lao's hand as she stepped out of the carriage. Earlier, they had their dinner in a local restaurant. They walked into the residence when a servant came to them.
"Master, an hour ago three dresses were delivered. I placed them in your room," the servant informed Feng Lao.
"Ahh." Feng Lao turned to look at Miaoran and asked her to follow him. When they reached his room, Feng Lao picked up the dresses that were inside a wooden box. "Here," he handed the box to Miaoran.
"Thank you, Feng Lao," Miaoran said.
She was ready to leave, but then her inner voice asked her to ask those questions from Feng Lao, which lingered in her mind for hours.
"Feng Lao, where is your family?" Miaoran asked him.
"They are no more," Feng Lao replied.
"Forgive me. I was curious," Miaoran said and lowered her eyes.
"Anyone would be curious," Feng Lao stated. He thought to end further curiosity of Miaoran so that she would not ask any such questions from him in the future. He told her how his family died and the conspiracy behind it. However, he left out that part where he did not want to mention he loved Li Hua once.
"I was married," Feng Lao said. "She died too in that fire," he added. Again, he did not bother to tell Miaoran that he married the woman to save her from the world's taunts. Those were some of the not-so-good memories from his past which always troubled him.
"You carry such a compassionate heart. Feng Lao, I pray you soon find your happiness," Miaoran said while empathizing with him. She could not imagine the pain and agony Feng Lao had inside him. Yet, he did not forget his humanity even after all the bad things happened to him. The respect for Feng Lao in her eyes had increased manifolds.
"Will I? I doubt," Feng Lao said.
"I never thought I would get free from an abusive and disloyal husband. Yet, you appeared out of nowhere. Today was the best day of my life. I have never enjoyed this much. Definitely, you will find that happiness too," Miaoran said.
Feng Lao hummed and wished for it. Although, he was happy in his present life. However, deep down a big void of loneliness was present.
"You can share with me anything at any time. I will always be there for you. You called me a friend and I will fulfill this friendship until my last breath," Miaoran asserted.
Feng Lao gave a simple nod. After Xu Zifan got married, he had no one to share his thoughts with. Miaoran was trustable, who would never share with anyone what turmoil he still was undergoing. "I definitely will, Miaoran," Feng Lao said.
"Good night, Feng Lao," Miaoran said and passed him a tiny smile.
"Good night," Feng Lao said. After she left, Feng Lao closed the door and went to the dressing room. He removed the hair bun holder and put it on the dresser. After removing his upper body clothes, he headed to the bathhouse, which was adjacent to his room.
