1712: Never Suspected

Never Suspected

Yun Bixue looked at the document as she ate her fruit deliciously. When she heard the sound of the door opening, she quickly switched off the device.1

Seeing that Xie Limo was back, she was about to stand up to welcome him back by habit.

But thinking about the information she'd just read, Yun Bixue forced herself to remain there.

She continued to eat her fruit, pretending as though nothing changed, as if she didn't see Xie Limo.

Something shifted in Xie Limo's gaze, but he didn't comment.

The two ate as they should and went on with their own things. After dinner, Yun Bixue did not watch the television. Instead, she opted to shower and return to the bedroom to sleep.

Even for bathing, she asked for the servants' help rather than calling for Xie Limo.

When Xie Limo returned to the bedroom after finishing work at the study, all he saw was Yun Bixue who was sleeping facing inwards.

He couldn't tell her expression nor could he tell what she was thinking.

This continued on for the next two days, and by then, Xie Limo could no longer grasp Yun Bixue's thoughts and started panicking.

Everytime he wished to talk to Yun Bixue, she would always be busy or sleeping.

There wasn't a chance for Xie Limo to talk to her properly.

On the third day, Yun Bixue saw a photo on the news. It was a photo of two people standing side by side, but it was blurry and the faces were unclear.

Despite this, Yun Bixue still recognized them at first glance. The man was Xie Limo while the woman beside him was Princess Yanwu.

Although there were many other people standing around the pair in the photo, Yun Bixue's heart still thumped.

She swiped open the tab of comments at the bottom and found out that it was a political meeting of the important officials.

The two of them standing together should not have meant anything, but it was a major discussion amongst netizens.

"Who are they? What a good looking pair!"

"Although it's blurry, one look is enough to tell that the man is handsome and the woman beautiful. What a healing sight for my eyes."

"But for them to be able to participate in this important meeting, they are not ordinary people. I really can't tell who the two are."

"Let me tell you guys a secret. This woman is the number one beauty of the royal family, Princess Yanwu!"

"Tsk. Who will believe you? Princess Yanwu has always stayed overseas."

"You can choose whether you want to believe me!"

"Aiyaya, they look like a perfect match. I heard from a relative of mine that the man is the head of the Xie family who have recently taken up the position!"

"Head of the Xie family? I heard that he has a very good relationship with his wife. Could the person at his side be his wife?"

"Did you forget about the news that was all over the city?"

"I remember. The Lu family's daughter harmed Young Madam Xie, and she was already pregnant back then. If that was her, her stomach should already be round by now."

"I think it's wiser for everyone not to discuss too much about this? One of them is the head of the Xie family and a married man, while the other is a princess. If this gets blown out of proportion, it won't be good for us."

"Stop it here. No more discussing…"

Looking at everyone's comments, to say that Yun Bixue didn't mind it at all would be a lie.

She trusted Xie Limo, so she decided to turn a blind eye to this. Furthermore, she shouldn't jump to conclusions. This was nothing but speculations of netizens, so it shouldn't concern her that much.

But Yun Bixue couldn't help but walk to the mirror to look at her reflection. She was plumper than before, her face was no longer as refined, and her stomach was considerably larger. Adding her swollen feet to that, she was indeed not a pleasant sight.

If she herself felt that she wasn't perfect, she probably didn't appear good in front of Xie Limo either.

But she trusted Xie Limo innately. The feelings he had for her, which were reflected in his eyes, were not fake, so she could never suspect him.
