Chapter 189 Mutual Confession
He suddenly let go, letting out a snort of annoyance. "Yan'er, you just said I was angry during the day. Do you know what I was angry about?"
Xin Moyan shook her head blankly, pointed to herself and said, "Could it be... you're trying to make me angry?"
"Well, not entirely." Xuan Yuan was very frank. Seeing her brows furrowed, he suddenly reached out and pinched her cheek.
"I didn't cause any trouble! I haven't spoken to you all day, why are you angry with me?"
"Hmph! Who told you to sit in that chair?"
"A chair?" Xin Moyan didn't react for a moment, then realized what she meant.
"You mean, His Majesty had someone move the chair next to Uncle Xie?"
"Ah."
"Is there anything wrong with that chair? My uncle told me to sit there, so I did, and nobody said anything!"
A hint of doubt suddenly appeared in Xuan Yuan's eyes. "Yan'er, don't you recognize that chair? Xin Moling didn't tell you?"
"I don't know him, and my brother didn't say anything..."
She thought for a moment, then explained softly, "I have amnesia! Maybe I've seen it before, but I've forgotten!"
That makes sense, since Yan'er only fell for him because she had lost her memories of the past; it's better that she doesn't remember...
"That is the Phoenix Throne, also known as the Empress's Throne. The seat you are sitting on is below the Yuan Emperor's seat, which is the Yuan Empress's seat. Yan'er, tell me why I am angry today?"
"What did you say?"
Xin Moyan's pupils dilated instantly. "You mean, that chair was where the Empress sat?"
“When I was young, I lived in the palace. The Empress Dowager was still the Empress, and I saw her sit on that rose chair a few times. After the late Emperor passed away, Yuan Huaijun ascended the throne. There was no Empress, and that chair was put away. I never expected that he would have someone bring that chair for you to sit on today.”
As he finished speaking, Xuan Yuan's tone grew increasingly harsh, even carrying a hint of resentment.
"Perhaps that chair just happened to be placed in the back hall!"
"A coincidence? I don't think it's that coincidental. It's one thing that you didn't know, but he didn't know either? Even Xie Cangming did it on purpose."
"Don't overthink it. How would Uncle Xie know that His Majesty had the Empress's chair brought over? Besides, it happened so suddenly, I didn't know it was for the Empress!"
She carefully recalled the details of the morning and said softly, "There were only two seats there. You always seem aloof, and we don't seem to have any relationship on the surface. Perhaps His Majesty was afraid that it would be too awkward for me to sit next to you, so he let me sit with my uncle. Don't overthink it!"
Hearing this, Xuan Yuan felt a surge of anger for no reason. He stared at her with a wronged expression and said, "Yan'er, it was you who didn't want me to get to know you in front of others, but now you say that we have no relationship on the surface. Besides, I have always been like this. I don't want to speak softly to anyone but you. You would rather defend Yuan Huaijun than consider my perspective."
"I……"
Xin Moyan choked with emotion. He was indeed right, but... why did she feel like something was off?
"Xuanyuan, I'm sorry! I didn't think about these things. But today was really an accident. If Uncle Xie hadn't called me, that chair wouldn't have appeared. I didn't know you'd been angry since this morning, and you've made me angry for so long. If there's any misunderstanding, let's talk it out. Don't be angry, okay?"
She winked at him ingratiatingly, hoping he would be sensible and back down gracefully; otherwise, she would get out of the car immediately and wouldn't tolerate this guy!
"Then Yan'er promises me that she will not get too close to Yuan Huaijun in the future."
"Why?"
“I’m afraid he… will make you his empress.”
"Pfft, hahaha~ Big brother, stop joking. His Majesty is my cousin, so don't worry!" Xin Moyan covered her mouth with one hand and chuckled, while patting his shoulder kindly with the other.
"So what if he's my cousin? In-laws have been related since ancient times. He even let you sit in the back seat. What can't he do?"
The laughter abruptly stopped, and Xin Moyan raised her head, saying seriously to him, "In my opinion, there is no difference between cousins and biological siblings. Don't overthink it."
"Then you must promise me what you just said."
"...Okay! I promise you."
Seeing her helpless expression, Xuan Yuan suddenly had a thought, "Yan'er, promise me one more thing."
"...Is this never going to end?"
"Yan'er~" He tugged at Xin Moyan's sleeve, his eyes damnably clingy and captivating.
She flicked her sleeves, but couldn't get them off, and said dejectedly, "Oh! You tell me first, and I'll think about it."
He cupped Xin Moyan's face in his hands, his expression solemn. "Yan'er, promise me that if you ever remember everything from the past, you must never have any feelings for Yuan Huailie again. You... can only be mine, understand?"
Xin Moyan was stunned for a moment, then a strange emotion suddenly welled up in her heart, "You... are you afraid that if I regain my memories, I won't like you anymore?"
"Yes." He nodded heavily, his expression more serious than ever before.
“No matter what Emperor Yuan thinks of you now, as long as your heart belongs to me, that is enough. I am not afraid of his imperial status. But Yuan Huailie is different. I know that you once had feelings for him, but because of amnesia, you can't remember him and even broke off your engagement with him. If one day, your memories return, I'm afraid you will also regain your feelings for him. Yan'er, you won't abandon me, right?”
Xin Moyan subconsciously looked up, and the moment their eyes met, an ambiguous atmosphere subtly spread between them, her heart gradually quickening...
Suddenly, she reached out and hooked her arm around Xuan Yuan's neck, her lips covering his thin lips. In that instant, before he could react, she quickly pulled away, not caring how ambiguous their actions were. She wrapped her arms tightly around his shoulders, pressed her left cheek against his left cheek, and murmured, "Xuan Yuan, I won't remember. I am just myself now, Xin Moyan who loves Xuan Yuan. Of course, if you change your mind or treat me badly, then I won't want you anymore."
He was somewhat excited, as if it were the first time he had heard Yan'er formally admit that she liked him. He gently stroked her back with his large hand, "Yan'er, once I've decided on you, it means I'll only ever be with you for the rest of my life. I will always be good to you."
"Mmm." Xin Moyan responded softly. She was a little shy about her earlier initiative and didn't dare to look Xuan Yuan in the eye.
"Yan'er, you just said you liked me?"
"Ah."
Could you say that again?
"no!"
He suddenly pulled her into his arms, and Xin Moyan sat directly on his lap, her waist held tightly by him.
"Yan'er, open your mouth in a moment, okay?"
As she was wondering what was going on, his handsome face suddenly loomed large before her, followed by a passionate kiss. His tongue deftly explored her lips, drawing her in tenderly, like a sweet rain. Every step was gentle and lingering, driving her wild with desire. She closed her eyes, parted her lips slightly, and gradually succumbed to his charms…
