Bai Xi said to Lin Yun in a gentle tone, "I'm just going to the capital to handle a small matter. It won't be dangerous, and... Han Mo will also accompany me."
Lin Yun nodded, but a trace of worry was still evident in her eyes.
Seeing Lin Yun's eyes, Bai Xi thought seriously and said, "I'll finish that business as quickly as possible and try to return before the second day of the second lunar month."
Lin Yun was slightly stunned and looked at Bai Xi.
Bai Xi nodded, "So, Mom, if you think the timing is right, please start preparing. My wedding doesn't need to invite too many people. Just Uncle and the Tong family will suffice, so there's no need to make it too grand."
Hearing this, Lin Yun's face lit up with joy, "Okay."
Seeing her mother's smiling face, Bai Xi's heart gradually warmed. She turned to look at Han Mo, and at that moment... Han Mo was also looking at her, "Don't worry, I'm here."
In the video sent by the Hall Master of Kui Hall, it was said: "Women are like flowers, letting men admire and cherish them. It is said that a woman is a man's heart. If you are willing, abandon everything in Hua Country and join Kui Hall. From now on, you will be my heart. Otherwise, I will destroy your heart!"
On the map of Hua Country, the Imperial City was in the position of Hua Country's heart.
Destroying the heart, the Hall Master of Kui Hall meant causing destruction in the Imperial City of Hua Country.
Hall Master of Kui Hall, was he? Not only did he seek trouble with the Grandmaster's ancestor, but he also dared to speak flirtatiously to the Grandmaster's grandmother. This time, he would go and properly discipline his own people.
And then... he would bring Xi'er back to complete the wedding.
As the night deepened, Bai Xi had already fallen asleep.
Han Mo went alone to Bai Han's door. Just as he stood still, before he could knock, the door opened. Inside was Bai Han, wearing a milky white ice silk nightgown. He looked at Han Mo with a smile that was seven parts gentle and three parts elegant, saying, "Dr. Han standing outside my room in the middle of the night, wouldn't Xiao Xi get jealous if she saw it?"
Han Mo said lightly, "In that case, you should let me in soon, otherwise Xi'er will discover the relationship between us."
Bai Han looked at Han Mo, his brow furrowing almost imperceptibly, "Dr. Han is much more humorous than before."
After speaking, he moved aside, signaling for Han Mo to enter.
Han Mo walked into the room and went directly to the windowsill, stopping.
Bai Han said, "Dr. Han, what is the matter that brings you to me in the middle of the night?"
Han Mo: "Xi'er and I are getting married on the third of next month."
Bai Han's body stiffened slightly, but he quickly recovered, smiling, "So, Dr. Han is here to ask me to congratulate you?"
Han Mo shook his head slowly, his eyes suddenly turning cold, "In your previous life, did you find someone to impersonate me, making Xi'er believe I had someone else in my heart, and finally agree to your proposal?"
Bai Han's smile remained, even with a hint of nonchalance, "I thought it was something important, but it turns out to be this. What, Dr. Han, have you finally come to your senses and want to settle accounts with me for the schemes of your previous life?"
Facing Bai Han's attitude, Han Mo's eyes grew colder. His hands involuntarily clenched, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "Han Luo, what are you hiding? If you don't love her, why did you meticulously plan to break us up? If you love her, how could you do something that hurt her?"
Bai Han's smile finally disappeared from his face, replaced by a trace of hatred, "Ha, on what grounds do you lecture me? If you truly loved her, why didn't you say anything back then? Why did you give me hope and then despair? I did design all of this, but so what? My design succeeded, and on our wedding night, she lay in my bed. Where were you? At the border, gazing at the moon, riding horses, training soldiers?"
This time, Han Mo's clenched fist directly hit Bai Han's face, "Shut up."
What he learned was that on their wedding day, Han Luo had secretly poisoned the Bai family's wine, rendering the entire Bai family incapacitated. Then, there was a bloody slaughter.
Even when he rushed back, the heads of the Bai family members were hung on the city wall.
He deliberately ignored the harm Bai Xi might have suffered that night, he didn't want to speak of these most brutal things. But the person in front of him insisted on bringing them up. Every time he thought of her potential despair and pain, he wished he could kill the person in front of him with his own hands, using the most brutal methods in the world. But... he couldn't.
Because the person in front of him was Bai Xi's own brother, and she had also chosen to forget her past memories today.
Bai Han was hit, blood seeping from the corner of his lips. He had a strange smile on his face, reaching out a finger to gently wipe the blood from his lips, and slowly said, "What, Dr. Han, do you want to kill me? Then do it now. If you kill me, see if Xi'er will even look at you."
After speaking, he retaliated without hesitation, punching Han Mo directly in the face. Han Mo raised his hand to block, directly parrying his attack, and looked at him with icy eyes.
After the uncontrolled punch just now, Han Mo had gradually calmed down. Han Luo was still Han Luo. His forte was manipulating people's emotions. He was deliberately provoking him, wanting him to attack him.
If he really did something to him, then tomorrow he would no longer be Bai Xi's fiancé, but a murderer who had killed Bai Xi's own brother.
Even with justification, it would not be forgiven, whether by Bai Xi or Lin Yun.
Han Mo's eyes were icy, and he said calmly, "Bai Han, Xi'er remembered things from the past today, and she told me about this matter..."
With those simple words, the strange smile on Bai Han's face vanished completely, replaced by a paleness, "She, remembered?"
At this moment, a trace of immense fear, shame, and regret flashed in Bai Han's eyes.
Yes, he regretted it.
He shouldn't have been jealous of Han Mo, shouldn't have been jealous of their affection, and shouldn't have followed that person's plan because he didn't want to resist him. In the end, his forbearance still couldn't protect her; she still died before his eyes, and her eyes were full of hatred for him.
Han Mo frowned as he looked at the pale face and pained eyes.
What exactly was Han Luo hiding?
"Yes, she remembered, but she only remembered part of it. She remembers liking me before, but because of a young man in white, their feelings were misunderstood. She also remembers that the young man in white killed her entire family. But she had the chance to remember everything, yet she chose to let herself go, forget the most painful memories, and choose to start anew..."
Forget the past, start anew?
Bai Han's dim eyes held a hint of questioning, yet also a faint glimmer, "She... doesn't remember that person was me."
Bai Xi's appearance was eight parts similar to her past, Han Mo had always been Han Mo, and himself... was not very similar to his past appearance, even quite different. However... his ability to predict the future was present in both lives.
Last time, when Bai Xi asked him, he had hesitated and struggled in his heart.
He was afraid that if she recovered her memories, would she know that he was the one who caused her family's ruin and her untimely death? But... he eventually admitted it. The moment he admitted it, he was prepared for her revenge in the future.
