Ex-husband Wants Reconciliation

Chapter 9 Heart Fluttering

"Mu Jiejie." Xie Yi lowered his eyes, looking at her lowered fingertips, and called softly.

"What's wrong?" Su Mu snapped out of her thoughts about the ill-fated relationship with Yan Jiyue.

Xie Yi raised his exquisitely curved chin. The misty water vapor of Jiangnan and the dreamy sunlight made his already clean and fair complexion appear even more delicate and transparent. He pointed to the bright red blood marks on his face: "Continue."

"...Alright." Su Mu scooped a bit of medicine from the bottle and continued to apply it to his wound.

But looking at the gaping wound on his face, Su Mu's feelings of guilt surged up again. Yan Jiyue's personality had always been domineering and arrogant. If it was him before the rebirth, it would have been fine, but now Yan Jiyue had also been reborn and still maintained a strong hatred towards Xie Yi.

Su Mu suddenly didn't dare to keep Xie Yi by her side. Who knows if Yan Jiyue would suddenly do something underhanded to Xie Yi?

After all, in her previous life, Yan Jiyue had done such things many times.

Fortunately, every time she had seen through it and caught him in the act.

And Su Mu had also reached her limit in her constant yielding to Yan Jiyue. She had moved out of the Yan mansion with Xie Yi. On the surface, they were still husband and wife, but in reality, they were already separated.

"Xie Yi, do you miss home?" Su Mu asked tentatively.

Xie Yi's eyes trembled slightly. Yes, how could he not miss it?

Even though his parents in the desert had been killed and his younger brother had married and disappeared, he had after all grown up in the desert, accustomed to the lonely smoke and setting sun, the fierce wind and yellow sand.

Even though everyone said Jiangnan was good, Jiangnan had only brought him endless pain and humiliation. If it weren't for Su Mu, he wouldn't know where he'd have drifted to now, living a life worse than pigs and dogs.

But he couldn't answer directly like this. Maybe this was Su Mu's test?

Even raising a dog requires testing its loyalty. If it's a good dog that can't be driven away, naturally the owner will trust it more.

But if the dog really shows signs of wanting to leave, what awaits it is at best a severe beating, at worst being sold to a dog meat vendor.

A chill spread in his heart, but his eyes revealed utter innocence and dependence: "I don't want to. I like Mu Jiejie, I want to be with Mu Jiejie."

Acting, he was best at it.

He thought he could successfully deceive Su Mu, showing his loyalty to her in passing, gaining her trust.

But unexpectedly, when Su Mu saw the dependence in his eyes, she shook her head slightly.

Not only was she not happy with his initiative to show goodwill, but she said seriously and gently: "I know you don't like it here. Shall I send you home?"

Xie Yi raised his eyes in surprise, too stunned to speak.

"Go back to the desert, go find your family." In the previous life, Xie Yi had told Su Mu that he still had a younger brother alive.

She endured the debt and affection of two lifetimes, and rubbed his soft, fluffy long hair, as if petting a large furry animal.

Her abilities were limited now, and as long as Xie Yi stayed by her side, there would always be danger. It would be better to send him back to his hometown to live a peaceful life.

Perhaps in the previous life, Xie Yi had developed romantic feelings for her after following her for ten years, but the current Xie Yi had only been with her for a few days. He couldn't possibly have such deep dependence on her, let alone give up the chance to go home because of her.

She knew he was pretending, but she wasn't angry. This was just Xie Yi's way of protecting himself. Everyone has difficulties in life where they have to compromise.

Su Mu knew she could never go back home, and she didn't want Xie Yi to be like her.

She had always treated Xie Yi as a younger brother, until she saw Xie Yi die for her, only then did a hint of different emotion arise in her heart. But that slight amorous feeling was nothing compared to Xie Yi's safety.

Xie Yi returning to his hometown would also change his tragic end of dying by poison. This was the best ending for him.

Thinking of this, Su Mu took out all the money she had been saving. It wasn't much, but it was several dozen taels of silver, enough for travel expenses along the way.

She placed the money in Xie Yi's hand and said to him: "I know there will be a merchant caravan passing through Juan City to the desert in half a month. You can go with them then."

Xie Yi couldn't believe his ears. Su Mu's voice was so gentle it could drip water. Her deep green eyes reflected his image at this moment. A thousand emotions seemed to surge in Xie Yi's chest in an instant, falling wet on his heart, soaking him inside and out, impossible to wring dry.

Why would she let him leave so easily?

To buy him, she had spent 20 taels of silver.
