Chapter 417: Compromise

"Ah Yi—"

At this moment, Gu Yanling couldn't care about the side anymore, so he sat up, knelt on the bed, reached out between his hands, and tightly grasped Xiao Yi's sleeve, as if he let go of his hand slightly, and the person in front of him would leave.

Tan Mo, who was guarding outside, Libi and Jiang Zhu seemed to notice some slight movement in the inner room, and when they looked at each other, they silently closed the door and looked around cautiously.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been hiding it from you—"

The voice behind him was at a loss and nervous, which made Xiao Yi frown, and his eyes turned a little helpless.

"Don't go, okay—"

The familiar voice sounded again, but the words made Xiao Yi shake slightly, and in silence, he couldn't take a step anymore.

He has always known that his wife, his age is proud, all this does not come from status, identity, but from her bones, as if she was born.

He knew very well how difficult this short sentence was for her.

Such a choice is like making him let go of the ambitions and ambitions he was born with and be willing to surrender to his opponents.

In the silence, perceiving that the hands holding his sleeves were tightening tighter and tighter, almost persistently refusing to give up the slightest, Xiao Yi sighed silently, his solemn eyebrows gradually loosened, and those dark and complex eyes also brushed away the gentle waves little by little, and when he turned around again, he saw that under the warm light, the familiar figure was wearing a thin bedclothes, kneeling on the bed stubbornly and persistently, his hands tightly pulling his sleeves, a cloud of hair meekly draped behind him, and the scattered hair on the sideburns added a little more emotion, less of the usual calmness。

"It's cold outside, kneeling like this will hurt your body-"

The gentle words overflowed, Xiao Yi seemed to be angry and helpless, leaned forward, pulled the brocade quilt over, gently wrapped the person in front of him, and carefully helped Gu Yanling to lie back.

Silently, Gu Yanling looked at the people who were close at hand, looked at the face that was as gentle as ever, looked at the eyes that did not hide their worry and concern, the corners of his lips were hooked, and a smile appeared in his eyes, but tears rolled down without warning.

Just when Xiao Yi was about to speak, he felt the person in front of him suddenly approach, and the next moment, he leaned his head quietly in his arms, and his hands were naturally wrapped around his waist at the same time.

At this moment, a candle flame on the high table in front of the bed suddenly sounded, "crackling-" exploded the lamp, and sprinkled a few shaky shadows in front of the bed through the lampshade, and the person in his arms moved dependently, as if rubbing into a suitable position in his arms, and leaned on it again, and the hands around his waist were even more greedy, tightened a little, as if afraid that he would leave again.

The temperature and familiar breath in his arms made it difficult for Xiao Yi to give birth to the emotions beside him, and silently, he saw that his eyes were helpless and full of tolerance, and his hands doted on the person in front of him tightly wrapped in his arms, and when he leaned over, he whispered in Gu Yanling's ear.

"You can always make me throw away my armor and be willing to throw in the towel. ”

The words seemed to be helpless with a little complaint, but Gu Yanling knew that this was the tolerance and compromise that Xiao Yi would only have when he faced her.

With both joy and shame in his heart, Gu Yanling wrapped his arms around Xiao Yi and clasped them, and the corners of his lips rose sweetly.

"It's going to hurt the child—"

Xiao Yi seemed to be a little worried, and cautiously wanted to untie Gu Yanling's hands around her, but who knew that Gu Yanling at this moment was calm, stubbornly clenched her hands tighter, and her words were a little more like a little daughter.

"Our child knows that his mother upset his father tonight, so he will be considerate. ”

Hearing this somewhat childish sentence, Xiao Yi's eyes became a little more tender, and he no longer insisted on it, but was more careful to avoid Gu Yanling's prominent lower abdomen and said, "You were indeed wrong tonight-"

Hearing Xiao Yi's words, Gu Yanling listened silently, thinking that Xiao Yi would scorn her softly, but who knows, the words that followed made her heart a little softer, and the bubbling warm current almost wrapped her heart and warmed her whole body.

"Ling'er, remember—"

Xiao Yi's words were low and undisguised, and she said softly and sincerely in her ear: "You and I are husband and wife, and I am also your husband in this life, no matter when, you have to take care of yourself, don't take risks for me-"

Sensing that the person in his arms seemed to be about to open his mouth to distinguish something, Xiao Yi did not back down for the first time, but continued to say seriously: "Even today, it seems that everything is not in danger, but you and the child in your womb can't help the slightest change, once anything happens to you, leave me alone, have you ever thought about how I should go down this road alone——"

Hearing Xiao Yi's more and more serious words, Gu Yanling was silent, and left the embrace with ease, looking at the person in front of her, looking at those sincere eyes, she didn't know how to answer.

For them, there is still a return date for life and death, and they can wait, and there is only endless loneliness when they die.

She is selfish, so in her selfish heart, she hopes that she can walk in front of Xiao Yi in the future, and avoid the pain of painstaking lovesickness day after day, year after year.

Just as she didn't dare to think about losing Xiao Yi one day, she couldn't think about how Xiao Yi would support her alone if she left.

This question is cruel, and it is something she has never dared to answer in her life.

Feeling the tears gradually spreading in the eyes of the people in front of him, Xiao Yi also knew that he had always deliberately avoided this problem because he was afraid.

Looking up, Xiao Yi gently stroked Gu Yanling's back, gently comforting, and the next moment, the corners of his lips were gentle, and his words were light and warm.

"Promise me, no matter when you are in the future, don't hide it from me, in this life, I have lived in this palace for too long, I have seen too much, I have experienced too much, those hidden arrows, those poisonous schemes seem to have become accustomed to it, there is nothing to fear, but since I met you, since I have this child that belongs to us, I know that in my Xiao Yi's life, in addition to my mother, what I am most afraid of is losing you and our children. ”

Although the words fell, the words were still in his ears, feeling the weight of these words, Gu Yanling couldn't speak for a long time, until he raised his head and looked at each other quietly, Xiao Yi saw that the corners of Gu Yanling's lips in front of him were gentle, and the corners of his eyes turned into a warm smile.

"Good. ”

Suddenly, on this cold winter day, as if spring flowers were all over the place, they were full of each other's eyes, Xiao Yi silently hooked the corners of his lips, and the next moment, he watched the person in front of him lean over his neck and cover the gentle lips.

After a short stunned moment, Xiao Yi's eyes melted into tenderness, his hands wrapped around Gu Yanling's waist, carefully avoiding the protruding lower abdomen, and responded sweetly.

At this moment, Gu Yanling is happy and guilty, even if she is like this, Xiao Yi still tolerates her so much, and today Xiao Yi is annoyed with her, not because of her deception, let alone because He Yuan is used by her aunt, but because she is worried about the safety of her and her children.

This kind of trust is something she never had in her previous life.

She knows that she has married the right person in her life and loves the right person even more, Xiao Yi is using her whole life to protect her and tolerate her, and she also wants to use this life to protect Xiao Yi and her children from the slightest harm.

Even if it's quietly.
