Only after being reborn did I realize that I was the white moonlight of a powerful minister.

Chapter 128 I'm glad you're back

Without a second thought, Ye Wanning pushed Chunxi and the others out, telling them to go and rest.

Her heart pounded, and she didn't dare to go over.

The candlelight inside was dim, and Ye Wanning couldn't see Xie Bohuai's expression, but she knew without a doubt that trouble was brewing.

"Lord Xie, what brings you here?" Seeing that Xie Bohuai remained silent, she could only ask one more question.

"Ye Wanning, why don't you come back?" Xie Bohuai asked in return.

"My lord, I certainly have my reasons," Ye Wanning said, repeating the same explanation she gave her family. "When I ran into you on the street earlier, my face was fine, and I didn't know what your attitude was. Please don't be angry, okay?"

On the soft couch, Xie Bohuai's shoulder twitched. Ye Wanning couldn't tell if he was laughing or angry.

"Back then, I also pinned my hopes on you. As you saw, things like what happened at the dilapidated temple happened from time to time, and I was really struggling. Please, don't hold it against me, just pretend you never saw me," Ye Wanning pleaded.

"Who wants to kill you?"

"what?"

"Who's chasing you?"

In the darkness, Xie Bohuai heard that Ye Wanning had married someone else and had a child. His nails dug into his palms, and the veins on the back of his hands bulged. He asked, word by word, "Who wants to kill you?"

Ye Wanning thought Xie Bohuai was going to verify it, so she quickly said, "My grandmother said that I used to live under an assumed name, and that the past is the past, so don't investigate it anymore."

"They killed your husband, yet you didn't seek revenge?" Xie Bohuai emerged from the darkness. With each step he took, Ye Wanning's heart raced. Only when Ye Wanning's back pressed against the door did Xie Bohuai see the fear in her eyes and stop. "Ye Wanning, when did you become so afraid of death?"

"My lord, if you live in fear for three years, you will change too. Please, I'm begging you, just leave me alone, okay? I apologize, it was my fault. I shouldn't have failed to reveal my identity immediately in the dilapidated temple. Please, have mercy on me and let me go." Ye Wanning pleaded before kneeling down before Xie Bohuai.

But Xie Bohuai lifted his arm with the hilt of his sword.

Xie Bohuai suddenly laughed self-deprecatingly. So, despite all that he had done, she was still afraid of him and wary of him?

Princess Longyu is right, he's a blockhead, he deserves his current fate.

The room fell silent. Ye Wanning's heart was in her throat. She didn't know what Xie Bohuai was thinking, and she couldn't understand it.

Only after Xie Bohuai emphatically said "okay" did Ye Wanning look up and peek over, "Are you really not going to investigate anymore?"

"Okay, we won't investigate anymore," Xie Bohuai said.

The cool moonlight shone on Xie Bohuai's face, making him appear somewhat pale.

Only after receiving Xie Bohuai's affirmative reply did Ye Wanning dare to breathe a sigh of relief. "Thank you for your help today. That Pei Xu is really troublesome. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have been recognized by everyone on the street. On the way back to the capital, I also heard some things. These years must have been difficult for you. Although you now hold great power, you should still be careful and avoid making enemies everywhere."

"Then do you know why I make enemies of everyone?"

"do not know."

"Because for the past three years, I've wanted to die every single moment. But they were all so useless; not a single one of them could kill me." Speaking words that sounded like a madman, Xie Bohuai's tone was one of utter desolation. He told Ye Wanning to step aside, and before leaving, he uttered one last sentence:

"Ye Wanning, I'm so glad you're back."
