Transmigrated To Another World: General, I'm Not Your White Moonlight - Chapter 267

Chapter 267: Can You Please Look At Me?
While Duan Yixin was thinking about his suggestion, Xuan Ruiquan hesitated and said, “Xin’er, I have something to tell you.”

Hearing this, Duan Yixin looked at him and asked, “Mhm? What is it?”

Seeing his serious and hesitant expression, Duan Yixin also became serious. After a moment of silence, Xuan Ruiquan said, “I am the owner of Chang Shou Pharmacy.”

After saying that, Xuan Ruiquan lowered his eyes and waited for her judgment. He waited for a while but did not hear anything from Duan Yixin. He looked up at her and found that she was laughing.

Xuan Ruiquan blinked in confusion and asked, “Why are you laughing?”

Duan Yixin coughed and said, “I thought you had something important to tell me. Turns out you were just talking about it.”

“Don’t you blame me for keeping this secret?” Xuan Ruiquan asked doubtfully.

Duan Yixin shook her head and said, “When we went to the Chang Shou Pharmacy before, I saw Shopkeeper Tan’s expression when he saw you, so I guessed that you were the owner. But I just want to know why you wanted to hide it from me.”

Xuan Ruiquan was silent for a moment and said, “I thought you hated the imperial family. Most people know that Yan Junwang and the Jin Yi Army are the ones behind Chang Shou Pharmacy. If you knew that I was the owner of Chang Shou Pharmacy, you would definitely guess that I’m Yan Junwang. I– I am afraid that you will hate me because of my identity.”

After hearing his explanation, Duan Yixin didn’t know whether Xuan Ruiquan was stupid or lacked confidence in her. She thought about it and became unhappy. She ignored him and continued eating in silence.

Xuan Ruiquan knew from her expression that she was angry. He held her little finger and begged in a low voice, “Can you please look at me?”

Duan Yixin paused for a moment, finished the porridge, then turned to look at him and said, “I’m not angry because you concealed your identity as Yan Junwang or the owner of Chang Shou Pharmacy.”

Xuan Ruiquan didn’t believe her and said, “But you look unhappy.”

Duan Yixin sighed and explained, “I’m unhappy because you don’t have confidence in me. I don’t know why you seem to have lost confidence when facing me, but I want you to know that I won’t hate you or leave you because of these small matters.”

“But if you don’t believe me and choose to keep everything a secret, then I don’t think we can continue our relationship. If we want to be together for the long term, we need to be honest with each other. Do you understand?”

As soon as Xuan Ruiquan heard these words, he fell into silence. Seeing that he was just sitting there with a lowered head, Duan Yixin continued to eat. She needed to give him time to think about it. If he can’t change, then she has to find a way to give him confidence.

She wants to be with him for a long time, and this problem will have to be solved sooner or later. When he is finally able to tell her his secret, she will tell him hers. But before that, she needed to wait for him to find the answer on his own.

After dinner, Duan Yixin said, “Think carefully about what I say. When you make a decision, you can come to me. No matter what decision you make, I will not blame you.”

Hearing this, Xuan Ruiquan raised his head and looked at Duan Yixin’s calm face. He wanted to talk, but he was afraid of making the same mistake he had made in his previous life.

He knew he was acting like a coward at this moment, but he just couldn’t help it. To this day, those painful memories still haunt him. Whenever he thinks about the day she died in his arms, fear and despair consume his sanity.

Seeing that his eyes were red, Duan Yixin sighed and held his hands, “Go back and think about it. I will wait for you.”

After saying that, she pulled him up and led him towards the door. Seeing that she was serious, Xuan Ruiquan had no choice but to leave.

Duan Yixin smiled gently and said, “Good night, General Xuan.”

After she closed the door, Xuan Ruiquan stood there for a long time before returning to his room dejectedly. When he opened the door, Chi Xiyou had just finished taking a shower.

Chi Xiyou raised his eyebrows when he saw Xuan Ruiquan’s red eyes. He touched his chin thoughtfully and asked, “Did something happen between you and Xin Xin?”

Xuan Ruiquan looked at Chi Xiyou in silence for a few seconds, then sat on his bed. He lay down and stared at the low ceiling in a daze.

Seeing him looking like a soulless puppet, Chi Xiyou dragged a stool and sat on the side of the bed. He looked at Xuan Ruiquan and asked, “Did you quarrel with Xin Xin?”

Chi Xiyou waited for a while, but Xuan Ruiquan was still lying on the bed like a dead tree. He thought for a while and said, “Just explain to Xin Xin. She seems to like you a lot. As long as you don’t make a big mistake, she will forgive you.”

When Xuan Ruiquan heard this, he finally reacted and said, “What if she abandons me after I tell her everything? I will die without her.”

When Chi Xiyou heard this, he almost fell off his stool.

He looked at Xuan Ruiquan in shock and thought, ‘Did I hear you right? The famous Yan Junwang actually has low self-esteem and lacks self-confidence. Even if the relationship between you and Xin Xin ends, there will be no problem for you in finding a wife with your qualifications. Why do you sound like you would kill yourself if Xin Xin broke up with you? Can you stop being so scary?’
