Yan Qi put his arms around Zhao Huayin and gently stroked her back.

"Don't cry, it's all over."

After a while, Zhao Huayin calmed down and asked Yan Qi with red eyes,

"When you left, you said you wanted to tell me something when you came back. Is this the one?"

Yan Qi nodded.

"Yes, that's exactly what I said then."

"When did you recognize me? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Zhao Huayin struggled to leave Yan Qi's arms and asked.

"I saw what you wrote. When you asked your maid to go to Zhou Pei's residence to get something, I also asked Mu Xiao to go.

He picked up a note and brought it back, and I knew it as soon as I saw it."

"So you know everything?"

Zhao Huayin felt a little embarrassed and annoyed.

Did Yan Qi also know about how good I was to Zhou Pei before my rebirth?

"Yes, I know everything. Zhou Pei and Yu Ying'er are in cahoots with each other. One of them told others about your preferences and habits, and the other deliberately approached you. They both took advantage of your kindness and tried to kill you. These two people really deserve to die!"

The smile disappeared from Yan Qi's eyes, and there was ruthlessness in them.

"Have you checked them out?"

Zhao Huayin felt indescribable shock and surprise in her heart.

"Ah."

Yan Qi nodded.

“After I recognized you, I kept an eye on your movements. Knowing that you seemed to have some grudge against them, I naturally had to find someone to investigate them.

Who would have thought that after checking, I would find such a filthy villain around you. They want to harm you, so I will not let them go.

But don't worry, they won't be able to hurt you anymore."

No wonder Yan Qi happened to help me so many times before. It turned out that he had been doing so much silently behind the scenes.

Zhao Huayin's heart felt as if she had drunk sweet spring water, sweet and soothing.

"So you have been helping me all along. You have already sent people to protect me since then, right?"

Zhao Huayin thought of the hairpin appreciation meeting and asked Yan Qi.

"At that time, I was afraid that you would think too much, so I only sent an eagle to protect your safety in the dark."

Yan Qi said patiently.

"But why didn't you tell me directly at that time? You didn't tell me until you asked Qingshuang to come to me later."

When Yan Qi heard Zhao Huayin's question, he hesitated for a moment and did not answer immediately.

The less Yan Qi spoke, the more anxious Zhao Huayin became.

"Are you not going to tell me this, are you going to hide it from me forever, and then leave me quietly?"

Zhao Huayin cried and felt very aggrieved.

Normally, Zhao Huayin was not a person who cried easily, but now, it was as if tears were worthless and she cried at the slightest provocation.

Seeing Zhao Huayin about to cry again, Yan Qi's usual calmness disappeared and he hurriedly said,

"Don't cry, I didn't mean to hide it from you.

But...but at that time I had already decided to go to Ganzhou and attack the Xie family, and I was not very sure that I could get away with it safely.

If I had known you at that time, you would have worried about my safety day and night, and if I could not come back, you would have just thought of your former brother as still alive somewhere."

Yan Qi originally wanted to coax Zhao Huayin, but after he finished speaking, Zhao Huayin actually burst into tears.

"Do you think I wouldn't worry if you didn't tell me? Do you know that since you left, there has not been a day that I don't think about you. No matter what I do, I think about you in my heart!"

"really?"

Yan Qi's eyes lit up.

"Huayin, before I told you my identity, you already had me in your heart, right?"

Zhao Huayin had never thought about this issue carefully before. When she heard Yan Qi's words just now, she blurted them out without thinking much.

Did it turn out that I already had Yan Qi in my heart?

"You left without telling me. Do you know that I was very worried about you? Do you know that I have been looking for you for many years?"

The more Zhao Huayin spoke, the more aggrieved she felt, and her tears couldn't stop flowing.

Seeing Zhao Huayin looking so pitiful, Yan Qi felt even more distressed and gently held Zhao Huayin in his arms.

"It's my fault. I shouldn't have kept it from you. I should have told you earlier and recognized you earlier."

Yan Qi's voice was as soft as coaxing a child.

"Don't cry, okay? I promise that I will never hide anything from you again, and I will never leave you quietly again, okay?"

Zhao Huayin felt like a child making trouble for no reason. She looked into Yan Qi's eyes and nodded gently.

"it is good.

You can't lie to me anymore. You didn't tell me when you came back. Did you come back a long time ago?"

Yan Qi touched the tip of Zhao Huayin's nose.

"You still remember this? You really hold a grudge! I did come back a few days early, but I came back secretly so that King Xuan wouldn't know. Also, I was injured at the time, and I didn't want you to worry, so I asked Qingshuang to keep it a secret."

"Are you hurt? Seriously?"

Zhao Huayin grabbed Yan Qi's arm and asked, and when she saw that Yan Qi didn't answer, she wanted to pull Yan Qi's clothes.

Yan Qi held Zhao Huayin's hand and said jokingly,

"Why are you tearing my clothes off in broad daylight? Huayin has grown up and is getting bolder."

Hearing Yan Qi making fun of her, Zhao Huayin couldn't help but blush, turned sideways and spat,

"I don't care about you, you are so dishonest!"

Yan Qi gently turned Zhao Huayin's body over and coaxed her softly,

"I'm fine now. I just had some minor skin injuries. They've healed a long time ago. If you don't believe me, I'll take them off and show you."

Seeing that Yan Qi was talking more and more outrageously, Zhao Huayin turned around and covered Yan Qi's mouth with her hand.

How could Zhao Huayin not know that Yan Qi was deliberately changing the subject in order to make her not worry too much.

Otherwise, he would not have worried about never coming back and not recognizing Zhao Huayin. This shows how dangerous the trip to Ganzhou was.

It is unknown what Yan Qi went through before he was able to eliminate the power of the Xie family.

Zhao Huayin felt a pang of pain in her heart. Yan Qi might have been living like this for so many years.

His mother had passed away a long time ago, and Emperor Hui didn't like him. No matter what he did, there might not be anyone who truly loved him.

Zhao Huayin gently leaned into Yan Qi's arms and whispered,

"No matter where you go or what you do in the future, you must tell me. I don't want to lose you again."

Yan Qi held Zhao Huayin's hand and hugged Zhao Huayin tighter with his other hand.

"I have just asked my uncle to marry you, and my uncle has agreed to marry you to me. From now on, I am yours, so I will tell you everything."

Yan Qi looked Zhao Huayin in the eye and asked,

"Huayin, I asked my uncle to marry you before I even asked you what you thought. Will you blame me?

After what happened this time, I am really scared. Ten years ago, Yan Qi couldn't live without you, and the same is true for Yan Qi today."

Zhao Huayin saw some uneasiness in Yan Qi's eyes, so she held Yan Qi's hand back and gave him a firm look.

"I only now understand my own feelings. When I gave you Mingyuejue, I already had you in my heart.

Whether it's the little brother from ten years ago or you today, you are the one in my heart. I have seen my heart clearly, and I want to be with you forever."

Hearing Zhao Huayin's true words and looking at her wet eyes, Yan Qi couldn't help himself for a moment. He held Zhao Huayin's face and kissed her red lips.
