Chapter 439 Besides being content with a long and lasting relationship
As her emotions overcame her reason, Qiu Ziyue slowly succumbed to temptation.
Qiu Ziyue knew that a person's heart is not big, and that the dictionary of love can only contain "you" and "me".
She admitted that at first, her heart was full of Qi Yuxuan, and she only regarded Li Cunxu as a friend.
But as Li Cunxu repeatedly loved her, doted on her, and protected her.
He even disregarded everything and forcibly took her as his concubine, letting her slowly become intoxicated by his tenderness.
Her feelings for Li Cunxu gradually shifted from friendship to love.
Besides Qi Yuxuan, she already secretly harbored feelings for another man.
She once secretly cursed herself as a scumbag, so she wanted to return to the modern world as soon as possible.
But she was still warmed by Li Cunxu's kindness.
Because of the effects of the aphrodisiac, the two held hands tightly, and Li Cunxu undressed Qiu Ziyue.
Qiu Ziyue gradually lost her resistance.
Li Cunxu suddenly used his strength to lift Qiu Ziyue onto the bed.
The night outside the window grew darker, and Li Cunxu finally took Qiu Ziyue by force.
Their lust burned in the darkness, and Qiu Ziyue's mind went blank.
At this moment, she became a slave to aphrodisiacs and Li Cunxu.
The night was long, and Madam Cao heard her son and daughter-in-law making love intensely in waves inside the house.
A smile gradually began to bloom on her face.
Madam Cao had some knowledge of the complex relationship between Li Cunxu, Qiu Ziyue, and Qi Yuxuan.
She could also sense that her son and daughter-in-law had not consummated their marriage before.
If it were any other woman, Madam Cao would not have given her a second thought.
But she liked Qiu Ziyue, and even though she knew that Qiu Ziyue had a husband, she gradually accepted and understood it, after all, she was also a woman.
She knew her son adored Qiu Ziyue; the two had just come to pick her up when Li Cunxu whispered in her ear:
"Mother, you must let us stay a few more days, you understand."
Madam Cao understood immediately.
The next day, when the sun was high in the sky, Qiu Ziyue woke up groggily with a splitting headache.
She found herself naked in bed, with Li Cunxu holding her tightly.
"Oh my god!"
She was taken aback, and the scene from last night immediately flashed through her mind.
"Tzuyue, Cunxu, get up and have breakfast."
Madam Cao called from inside the room.
Qiu Ziyue quickly put on her clothes and said:
"Cunxu, let's just pretend nothing happened last night, okay?"
Li Cunxu looked at Qiu Ziyue, whose face was flushed and who was flustered, and nodded with a smile.
The three of them had an unusually warm breakfast, and no one mentioned what happened last night.
Li Cunxu's eyes were filled with joy as he kept putting food on Qiu Ziyue's plate.
"Mother-in-law, Cunxu, we should go home now."
Qiu Ziyue said it casually.
Madam Cao agreed and immediately set off after packing.
Li Cunxu wanted to stay a few more days, but seeing Qiu Ziyue's displeased expression, he nodded in agreement.
A few days later, the three returned to Jinyang, where Qiu Ziyue saw Qi Yuxuan and his companions waiting for them at the city gate.
Qiu Ziyue wanted to run over and throw herself into Qi Yuxuan's arms, but a barrier suddenly formed in her heart.
Back inside, Qi Yuxuan asked her if she was tired, and why she hadn't told him she was going to find Madam Cao.
Qiu Ziyue explained that she was in a hurry at the time and just wanted to go there to bring Madam Cao back.
Unexpectedly, after we got there, Cunxu was bitten by a snake while trying to save me. He rested for a few days before rushing back.
Qi Yuxuan didn't say anything, but simply pulled Qiu Ziyue into his arms.
Qiu Ziyue nestled against Qi Yuxuan's chest, closing her eyes and silently enjoying the sense of security she felt.
"Yu Xuan, there's something I want to tell you."
Qiu Ziyue opened her eyes and said:
"That's right, if I do something that makes you unhappy, please don't leave me, okay?"
"Wife, what's wrong? You're acting strange today,"
Qi Yuxuan was somewhat puzzled.
"N-nothing... I just wanted to say that if we leave, I'd like to leave the jade flute and the Tao family's mystical arts to Cunxu, is that alright?"
Qiu Ziyue murmured softly.
"My lady, the jade flute and the Tao family's mystical techniques are your private property. You have the right to dispose of them as you see fit. It's up to you."
After Qi Yuxuan finished speaking, he lifted Qiu Ziyue's chin and kissed her passionately.
"We kissed for a long time," Qi Yuxuan said.
"My wife, I've been so worried about you while you're gone. I wanted to look for you, but I don't know where you are."
Qiu Ziyue said:
"I'm anxious to find Madam Cao so we can go back. That way, I'll feel at ease."
Qi Yuxuan nodded.
As night fell, Qiu Ziyue gently pushed open Li Cunxu's bedroom door, and a cool night breeze brushed against her cheek.
She stood on the threshold, looking at Li Cunxu sitting at the desk with a complicated expression.
The flickering candlelight illuminated his resolute yet slightly weary face.
“Cunxu,”
Qiu Ziyue took a deep breath, her voice low and firm.
I'd like to say a few words to you.
Li Cunxu raised his head, his eyes filled with a mixture of doubt and concern.
"Twilight Sparkle, tell me quickly, what's wrong? Did you miss me?"
"Don't even try that,"
Qiu Ziyue slowly approached, placed the jade flute in her hand on the table, and then took out a piece of paper from her bosom.
She gently stroked the runes of the Tao family's mystical arts with her fingers, as if caressing a past she was about to say goodbye to.
“Cunxu,”
She paused, trying to calm her tone.
"I don't belong to this country, and now my health is deteriorating day by day."
Perhaps it's because the spiritual energy of this place is conflicting with the power within me. So... I want to go home with them.
Upon hearing this, Li Cunxu suddenly stood up, his eyes instantly dimming.
"What? You're leaving?"
His voice betrayed his shock and reluctance.
Qiu Ziyue nodded, a hint of apology flashing in her eyes.
"Yes, Cunxu, I can't stay here any longer. I have my children and mother at home, and..."
I have already given you the jade flute and the Tao family's mystical arts; I hope these will help you achieve your grand ambitions.
However, Li Cunxu did not accept those things. Instead, he walked straight to Qiu Ziyue and grabbed her hands.
"Twilight Sparkle, why do you think like this? Please stay! We can live a good life together! Just like that night..."
His voice gradually softened, but it trembled slightly.
"That night, I got you, it was the happiest moment of my life."
Qiu Ziyue's heart skipped a beat, but she quickly suppressed her inner turmoil.
She gently pulled her hand away from Li Cunxu's and said with a wry smile:
“Cunxu, you should be content. My heart, my body, my treasures—besides lasting forever, don’t you think that’s enough?”
Li Cunxu remained silent for a moment, then stubbornly shook his head.
"No, that's not enough! Twilight Sparkle, I don't want to have only fleeting memories, I wish it could last forever."
We can face all difficulties together, why must we separate?
Qiu Ziyue turned away, unwilling to see his longing eyes any longer.
Just then, a shout broke the silence in the room.
"Twilight Sparkle, Twilight Sparkle, are you there?"
Qi Yuxuan's anxious voice came from outside.
Qiu Ziyue suddenly came to her senses and hurriedly pushed Li Cunxu away.
"I'm here!"
She answered quickly, while tidying her messy hair.
Li Cunxu watched her hurried departure, reaching out his hand to try and stop her, but his hand remained frozen in mid-air.
He looked at the jade flute and the secret manual on the table, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
Qiu Ziyue ran quickly out of the house.
"Wife, have you finished explaining?"
Qi Yuxuan asked gently.
Qiu Ziyue nodded, bit her lip, and turned her gaze back to the room where Li Cunxu was.
The dim candlelight still shone there, and Li Cunxu's figure could still be vaguely seen.
Qiu Ziyue closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Finally, she whispered, "Yuxuan, let's go."
The moment she turned around, Qiu Ziyue didn't look back, because she knew that if she did, she might waver.
Some choices can only be made once.
