Transmigrated To Another World: General, I'm Not Your White Moonlight - Chapter 231

Chapter 231: I Believe You
After a long silence, Xuan Ruiquan asked in a trembling voice, “Xin’er, what do you mean when you say you understand? Do you like me or not?”

While waiting for Duan Yixin’s answer, Xuan Ruiquan felt that this was the first time he had felt fear since his rebirth. Recalling all his fear experiences, Xuan Ruiquan found that only Duan Yixin could give him fear. However, this time, the fear was the most unbearable for him because he also had hope in his heart.

Looking at his life-and-death expression, Duan Yixin said sincerely, “I also like you.”

The moment she gave her answer, Xuan Ruiquan’s mind went blank. When she said she understood, he felt like the world was ending. But now, when he finally heard that she also liked him, Xuan Ruiquan felt like he almost died from happiness.

He touched his heart and said blankly, “Xin’er, I think I will die of happiness now.”

“….” Duan Yixin was speechless as she watched his silly behavior.

“Don’t talk nonsense. Eat quickly. Otherwise, the wontons will get cold.” She said helplessly.

Xuan Ruiquan seemed to have regained his soul. He nodded and started eating with a silly smile on his handsome face.

After breakfast, Xuan Ruiquan looked at Duan Yixin expectantly and asked shyly, “Xin’er, are we lovers now?”

Duan Yixin looked at him and said, “Before I answer you, can you answer my question first?”

Xuan Ruiquan sat upright and said seriously, “Yes. You can ask me anything.”

Duan Yixin thought for a while and asked, “Do you have a wife or concubines? I heard that a man can have three wives and four concubines here. I don’t want to share my man with other women, and I also don’t want to hurt other women because of one man. So, if you already have a spouse, then we should keep our distance.”

Hearing her words, Xuan Ruiquan hurriedly raised three fingers and swore, “I have never been in a relationship before, and I am still single. If I lied to Xin’er, I would die without a burial place and no bones left.”

After taking the oath, Xuan Ruiquan looked at her and solemnly said, “Xin’er, I have liked you for a long time. There is no other woman in my life, and my heart only belongs to you. You must believe me.”

When Duan Yixin looked into his eyes, she knew he was telling the truth. Since he has no lover in this life, she should be brave and express her feelings honestly.

However, because of what he said just now, she had some doubts about whether he really liked her or whether the person he loved was the original Duan Yixin. But now, as long as she can be with him, she is happy and satisfied.

“I believe you.” She said with a smile.

Hearing this, Xuan Ruiquan smiled brightly. He reached out to hold her hands and said, “Xin’er, I will never betray your trust.”

After the two confirmed their relationship, the Chi siblings finally came to the restaurant. Seeing them holding hands with smiles on their faces, Chi Xinru raised her eyebrows and looked at them with interest while Chi Xiyou sighed sadly.

‘This day finally came. My younger sister has grown up, and it is really not easy to keep her at home.’

Seeing Chi Xinru and Chi Xiyou approaching, Duan Yixin wanted to retract her hands, but Xuan Ruiquan refused to let go.

Xuan Ruiquan looked at Chi Xiyou and Chi Xinru and said, “Good morning, Young Master Chi and Miss Chi.”

Chi Xiyou nodded to him and sat down while Chi Xinru sat beside her elder brother and smiled, “General Xuan, good morning. Judging from your good mood, it seems that you and Xin Xin have good news to share with us.”

Xuan Ruiquan liked Chi Xinru’s straightforward character and said, “Yes. Xin’er and I have confirmed our relationship. I will formally propose to her as soon as possible.”

Hearing this, Chi Xiyou nodded and said, “Since General Xuan has already made a plan, we will wait for you to visit Xin Xin’s house. Although my Chi family is not related by blood to Xin Xin, we can be considered her natal family. We can help her with the marriage formalities and ceremony.”

After speaking, he glanced at their hands and said, “Although you two have decided to be together, you are not engaged yet. It is best to keep a low profile in public to avoid any unnecessary problems.”

Xuan Ruiquan knew that what Chi Xiyou said was right, but he just managed to become Duan Yixin’s lover and wanted everyone to know this fact. After thinking for a few seconds, he said, “We will be careful in public.”

Upon hearing his response, Chi Xiyou’s frown deepened, but he chose to remain silent. Chi Xinru, understanding her elder brother’s feelings, filled her cup with tea and raised it, “Let’s toast to Xin Xin and General Xuan’s everlasting love and happiness.”

She downed the tea in one gulp, leaving an empty cup.

Xuan Ruiquan, touched by Chi Xinru’s warm wishes, raised his teacup and said, “Thank you, Miss Chi, for your kind words. I promise to do everything in my power to keep Xin’er happy.”

He drank the tea and smiled at Duan Yixin. After Chi Xinru and Xuan Ruiquan finished their tea, Chi Xiyou and Duan Yixin followed suit.

“Great! Now, let’s fill our empty stomachs first. Excuse me, I want to add more food.” Chi Xinru said, waving to the servant waiting on the side.

While the four of them were enjoying the sumptuous breakfast in a good mood, Emperor Yong’an was extremely busy since he had woken up before dawn today and hadn’t eaten yet. He stood in the middle of the dressing room, calmly listening to the Minister of Rites recite the long steps of today’s sacrificial ceremony while the eunuchs helped him put on his imperial ceremony clothes.

After the Minister of Rites read out the procedure, Emperor Yong’an said, “Simplify the ceremony into three steps.”
