LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 23: Love?
3rd person POV-
Xiao Wu looked at Zhu Zhuqing and said "I-I have some things to talk about with you."
"Oh! You want to talk with me? Come and sit here." she patted the place beside her.
Xiao Wu lightly nodded and sat beside her.
Zhu Zhuqing asked, "So, what do you want to talk about?"
"I-I want to talk about B-Brother Yan!"
"About Yan? What about him?" Zhu Zhuqing asked 'confused'.
"I-Is he really your f-fiancee?" Xiao Wu asked. She has a little hope, maybe that was just for fun or something like that.
"Hm. Yeah! he is my fiancee!" Zhu Zhuqing replied.
Hearing this Xiao Wu felt heartbroken and asked bitterly "T-Then does that mean you both will m-marry in the f-future?"
"Yeah! that's what fiancee means, right?" Zhu Zhuqing answered.
"H-ha, y-yes. isn't it? sorry for asking such weird questions. haha." Xiao Wu awkwardly replied.
Zhu Zhuqing slightly narrowed her eyes and looked at Xiao Wu. She can feel that Xiao Wu also loves Yan, but she seems unaware of her own feelings?
Zhu Zhuqing sighed and asked, "Xiao Wu do you also love Yan?"
Xiao Wu lightly tilted her head "Love?" She knows about fiancee and marriage because a teacher in the academy got married while she was studying there. And she knows that those who are married will stay together forever.
So she also thought of marrying her Brother Yan in the future and they would stay together so he would always protect her.
But she didn't expect that Xuan Yan already had a fiancee, which made her unpleasant.
Zhu Zhuqing was confused. She doesn't know about love? But she knows about fiancee and marriage?
So she changed her question "Do you also want to marry Yan and stay with him forever?"
Huh? Xiao Wu was stunned hearing the question. Then she became embarrassed and looked down. "En" she replied in a low voice.
But, then she panicked. She just said that she wanted to marry Xuan Yan to his own fiancee. Who would be calm if someone said that she wanted to marry her fiancee?
She hurriedly looked up expecting to see an angered Zhu Zhuqing. But..
Zhu Zhuqing looked at Xiao Wu amused and said "Oh! so, you also love him. Well, I don't mind if he accepts you too."
Xiao Wu was surprised "Y-You are not a-angry." She asked her words shuttering.
"Hm. Why should I be mad? He already has many other women with him."
Xiao Wu was dumbfounded. Huh? Many other women? Does he have many fiancees? And she is not angry that he has many women?
"Then y-you are not angry with him for having many w-women?" Xiao Wu asked.
Zhu Zhuqing nodded and said, "I was also angry at first. "
"Then-" Before Xiao Wu could continue.
"But you have to ask yourself. Do you love him? Yes, of course, I love him and I want to spend the rest of my life with him. Do you want to have him for yourself? Of course. Every woman would want that.."
Xiao Wu didn't answer and Zhu Zhuqing continued...
"But the selfishness of having him only for you is greater than love? NO! I love him and I want him. If he wants to have more women, he can. Because I don't want to lose him just because of my selfishness."
Xiao Wu fell into a daze hearing this. "And Yan is too good for any woman, even for me. A powerful, handsome, and caring person, who doesn't want someone like him? So you can only share him with other women." Zhu Zhuqing said.
Xiao Wu fell into deep thought. Just now she understood what love means...
At this time, they heard another voice "Hmm. Well, I can agree on that. My Lord is really too good for any woman."
Both Zhu Zuqing and Xiao Wu turned and looked at Ma Xiaotao who is smiling and walking towards them.
"Sister Tao, you bought the hotel?" Zhu Zhuqing asked.
Ma Xiaotao nodded "En. How can I not do it when my lord aks for it?"
Zhu Zhuqing nodded. Then she looked at Xiao Wu and said "Sister Tao also loves Yan."
Huh? Ma Xiaotao was embarrassed and blushed heavily. "T-That..i-is" She doesn't know what to say.
"Hehe!" Zhu Zhuqing chuckled seeing her reaction. Ma Xiaotao just looked away.
...
Xiao Wu asked herself. Does she love Brother Yan and want to stay with him? Of course, she wants to. She can't leave him just because she has other women. She took a deep breath...
Xiao Wu asked "T-Then, can I also m-marry Brother Yan?"
Zhu Zhuqing said, "If he loves you and accepts you, then you can."
Xiao Wu clutched her little hand and said with determination "Then I will also ask him to make me his fiancee."
Zhu Zhuqing replied "En. Good luck with that."
and with that little talks continued...
After a while, Xuan Yan arrived. And when he arrived he disappeared shortly after. So she doesn't have the time to ask and sighed.
Zhu Zhuqing patted her shoulder and said "Ask him after he returns."
Xiao Wu smiled and nodded.
...
In the centre of Spirit City, the great Spirit Hall.
The guards are patrolling outside as usual. But, then they noticed a black hooded person walking towards the front gate.
A guard stood in front of him and asked "State your identity and the reason to come here."
The man didn't say anything and took off his hoodie showing his face. The whole black robe disappeared revealing a handsome young man in white robes. He has white hair and golden eyes.
Xuan Yan smiled and said, "Yo!"
Seeing who it was, the guards shivered and they all knelt down with a loud thud "Your Highness."
Xuan Yan lightly nodded and then he walked inside the Spirit Hall.
"T-The Holy Prince, he has returned." A guard said.
"Y-Yeah! he looks so domineering than the last time I saw him."
...
Walking through the hall, everyone was shocked to see Xuan Yan. But then they all kneeled before him.
Xuan Yan nodded slightly and made his way to the Private place of Bibi Dong.
Entering inside, he smiled seeing the simple wooden house. It's been a year since he came here.
Even though he had space warp he didn't come here because he was spending all of his time with Zhu Zhuqing, Ma Xiaotao and Long Yeyue.
But he came back today because he knows that Bibi Dong will ask for his 'help' and it is time for him to improve their relationship.
The maid working there heard footsteps and she turned back her head. She was stunned to see Xuan Yan. She soon came out of her daze and bowed "Your Highness!"
Xuan Yan smiled and said "Aunty, why are you always calling me like that? I told you to call me Yan."
The maid shook her head and said "No, it's not appropriate to call you like that, Your Highness. You are the Holy prince and I am just a maid."
"Sigh, You are really stubborn." The maid lightly chuckled seeing Xuan Yan's reaction.
Then he asked, "Is teacher here?"
The maid lightly nodded and said, "Her majesty is in her room."
"Hmm. Ok! Aunty." He replied and climbed the stairs to go to his teacher's room.
The maid seeing this smiled and said softly "He has grown into a fine young man." Then she returned back to her work.
Xuan Yan reached in front of Bibi Dong's room and knocked on the door. *knock* *knock*
"Nana? Is that you?" A beautiful voice was heard.
Xuan Yan smiled, it's been a year since he heard this voice. "Teacher, it's me Ya-"
Before he could finish, *Baam* The door was abruptly opened "Yan'er!!" Bibi Dong said in a surprised voice.
A smile bloomed on her face when she saw her dear student. Xuan Yan chuckled and said, "Teacher, how are you?"
Bibi Dong's smile faded. She crossed her arms and pouted her lips "Hmph, you just remembered your teacher after a year?"
"Oh! come on teacher. Don't pout." He said and hugged Bibi Dong.
Now, Xuan Yan and Bibi Dong are of the same height. So their cheeks slightly brushed each other.
Bibi Dong was stunned and stood there like a statue. Feeling his warm embrace, she blushed. Xuan Yan placed his head on Bibi Dong's shoulder and said in her ear "I missed you, teacher."
Bibi dong's ear lightly quivered and her ear became red. She smiled and said, "I also missed you, Yan'er."
Then they both retracted the hug and smiled at each other. Bibi Dong soon pulled Xuan Yan's hand "Come inside and tell me about your adventures in the last year."
Xuan Yan helplessly went inside with her and the door closed itself.
Reaching inside he was stunned to see a white piece of cloth on Bibi Dong's bed and averted his eyes embarrassingly.
Bibi Dong was confused seeing his actions, only then she noticed a white panty on the bed. *swish* She became so embarrassed and she quickly cleaned it off into her storage ring.
As she was so excited to see her disciple, she forgot to clean it. She looked at Xuan Yan from the corner of her eyes.
She heavily blushed and her face went deep red. But she soon regained her composure "Ahem, Yan'er come and sit."
She beckoned to sit on the bed. Xuan Yan smiled awkwardly and sat near her on the bed.
To clear the awkward atmosphere Bibi Dong asked "So, Yan'er tell me what you did in this one year."
