Jun Yelan's eyes darkened, and he looked at Xiao Qi, "Who are you?"
Xiao Qi's cheeks flushed. What a handsome young man! "My name is Xiao Qi. My elder brother is the leader of this mountain stronghold. It's fortunate you're awake. Tomorrow is our wedding day." She became even more shy.
Jun Yelan's pupils widened in shock, and he shouted, "I already have a wife!" He remembered that the boat had capsized, and he found a piece of wood, desperately swimming forward.
Alas, he didn't have much strength and could only drift with the plank, finally reaching the shore after a long time. After reaching the shore, he fainted and vaguely heard voices. It turned out to be people from the mountain stronghold.
He had been drowsy for a long time, likely having slept for ages. He pressed his head and said, "I need to go back. My wife is still waiting for me." Lan Yan must be worried sick after his long absence.
He used his hands to prop himself up on the bed and climbed out of it. As he got out of bed, his head swayed, and he weakly sat back down.
Xiao Qi was still in a daze, especially after Jun Yelan glared at her, thinking this person was so fearsome. She moved a few steps away and said softly, "Your body is not well yet, you can't walk out."
"Do you really have a wife?"
Jun Yelan stared coldly at Xiao Qi and said without hesitation, "Of course. My wife is the best woman in this world. No one can compare to her."
He clenched his fist, "Even if I die, I will die by her side."
Xiao Qi was stunned. This man was too devoted. "But I like you too."
"I don't even know you, how can I like you?" Jun Yelan's expression was indifferent, and he didn't take this matter to heart. He only wanted to find Lan Yan as soon as possible and put her at ease.
Xiao Qi was startled, almost backing into the corner. This person spoke so gently about his wife but was so cold to others and everything else. She felt like she had done something wrong.
"But our wedding date is set, and it cannot be changed. How about this, after we get married, you can invite your wife over."
The veins on Jun Yelan's forehead bulged, and he said angrily, "Absolutely impossible. I cannot tolerate any impurities, and neither can my wife. I advise you to cancel the wedding as soon as possible. I will never marry you."
"I can wrong anyone else in this life, but I cannot wrong my wife."
Xiao Qi saw this and asked, "You must love your wife very much, right?"
Whenever Jun Yelan thought of Lan Yan, his heart was filled with joy. He had never known pleasure or happiness before. It was only after meeting Lan Yan that he encountered and gained these.
If Lan Yan were the stars in the sky, he would be willing to be the one watching them from the earth forever. For some people, some things, their mere existence is enough.
He looked up and saw Xiao Qi still staring at him, saying coldly, "You saved me, and I won't hurt you, but this engagement absolutely cannot happen."
He had just woken up and needed to understand the situation here to escape.
Xiao Qi seemed to sense the killing intent emanating from Jun Yelan and darted away, "Who exactly is his wife that he loves her so much?"
At this time, Lan Yan was trying to find an opportunity to go to the living quarters again, but she was surrounded by the cooks, who wanted her to prepare dishes. She worked until evening, secretly hid a bun during dinner, and went to the previous living quarters.
Seeing people constantly passing by the door, she went around to the back window and gently climbed up.
"Who!" Jun Yelan, holding a candlestick, heard a strange sound from behind. Just as he was about to make a move, he saw Lan Yan, and the candlestick dropped to the ground.
He suddenly hugged the person in front of him, his eyes tearing up, "Yan'er, am I dreaming!" He tightened his grip, afraid that if he let go, Lan Yan would disappear.
Lan Yan's hands caressed Jun Yelan's back, and she smiled, "Yelan, it's really me. I came to find you. This is a promise between us."
Jun Yelan's pupils trembled. At this moment, it was finally confirmed that the person he was hugging was Lan Yan, not a dream. "Yan'er, when I was at sea, I was suddenly very afraid. I was afraid you wouldn't even see my body."
He feared that Lan Yan would be left with illusory thoughts for the rest of her life, and then his Yan'er would no longer smile.
Lan Yan hugged Jun Yelan's waist tighter, "I know, I was also afraid of not finding you. I knew you were still alive, and no matter how long it took, I was willing to find you."
"Lan Yan will always follow Jun Yelan."
Jun Yelan was stunned, his heart trembling more and more. He didn't want to let go of the person in his arms, "Me too." If anything happened to Lan Yan, he would not want to live alone.
Lan Yan remembered the main business, "Right, Yelan, you haven't eaten yet, have you? I brought you a bun." She took out the bun from her embrace and said with a hint of disappointment, "It's cold, unfortunately."
"I'll eat it." Jun Yelan took the bun, put it in his mouth, and chewed. This cold bun warmed his heart.
Lan Yan felt sorry for Jun Yelan. The situation was special now, and she couldn't send anything fragrant. "Yelan, after we leave, I'll cook delicious food for you. You've gotten thinner."
He was already thin, and now holding him, it felt like all bones.
Jun Yelan smiled and picked up Lan Yan, "But my strength is still the same, I can carry you anywhere. By the way, Yan'er, how did you find this place?"
Lan Yan told Jun Yelan everything that had happened along the way, "Now the wedding banquet is tomorrow, how do we get out of here?"
Jun Yelan said, "Yan'er, you just said you brought powder. We can sprinkle some in the wine to knock them out. Then we can leave."
"Okay." Lan Yan thought Jun Yelan's plan was very good, and since she was helping in the kitchen, it would be easy to find an opportunity. After all, these people hadn't harmed them, so knocking them out would suffice.
Jun Yelan looked at Lan Yan as she pondered and cautioned, "Yan'er, you must be careful tomorrow. Come find me immediately if anything happens. If you can't break free, release this."
He handed all the things he had in his arms to Lan Yan; they were various weapons.
Lan Yan never knew Jun Yelan carried so many things. If she had been the original host, Jun Yelan would probably have killed the original host. She picked out two items and smiled, "Yelan, don't worry, your wife is quite capable."
Jun Yelan nodded, pinched Lan Yan's nose, and said dotingly, "I've always known." Thinking about tomorrow's events, he reluctantly sent Lan Yan away and sat by the bed, lost in thought.
They had to leave tomorrow!
After Lan Yan returned, she had a good night's sleep.
The next morning, the people in the mountain stronghold were all busy preparing for the wedding banquet.
Lan Yan also went to the kitchen, sent away the other cooks, and took out the medicine packet she had. She sprinkled it into the wine jars. After shaking it evenly, she put it back in place. Seeing the people carrying the wine coming, she called out, "Here."
The wine carriers left, placing the wine on various tables, and everyone began to drink.
Seeing this, Lan Yan came out and exchanged a glance with Jun Yelan, who was standing at the entrance.
