Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1505

Chapter 1505 -1500: The Sooner, the Better

Seeing Bai Qingyan resting her head on his arm, breathing softly and sleeping peacefully, Xiao Rongyan felt immensely satisfied.

He gently kissed the top of Bai Qingyan’s head, then tucked her in carefully, finally lying down beside her and gently holding her in his arms. The fragrance of Bai Qingyan filled his nostrils, this was happiness… also torment.

Before dawn, Xiao Rongyan got up, just donned his outer robe. His tall and slender figure stood under the dim light, and when his arm rose and fell, the flickering light woke Bai Qingyan.

“You’re leaving?” Bai Qingyan propped herself up with her slender arm, her long hair cascading like crow feathers. She looked at Xiao Rongyan under the dim light, about to get up.

Xiao Rongyan fastened the front clasp, set a foot on the silver-wrapped cedar wood step, sat by the bed, and pressed Bai Qingyan down. He just gazed and smiled at her; under this dim light… Bai Qingyan was even more delicate and charming, making one’s heart itch uncontrollably. He leaned close to her ear and whispered, “Next time, I’ll tire you out properly, so you won’t wake when I leave.”

Understanding what Xiao Rongyan meant, Bai Qingyan pretended to be angry and glared at him, her fair ears turning bright red: “Be careful on your way back!”

Xiao Rongyan nodded, originally wanting to give Bai Qingyan a kiss, but feared losing control after holding back all night. Even though he had leaned in close, he held back, his breath slightly heavy. He restrained his breathing, lowered his eyes to cover the heat in them, and with a hoarse voice, he urged, “Sleep a bit longer, leaving when it’s bright is too conspicuous!”

“Hmm.” Bai Qingyan nodded, “You should also rest well when you return.”

“I should indeed rest well; I suffered all night last night.” Xiao Rongyan teased her intentionally, his deep eyes full of amusement. He helped Bai Qingyan lie down, tucked her in, and kneeled on one knee on the cedar wood step, “Sleep, Kid, I’ll watch you sleep before I leave!”

“Go, I can’t sleep with you here!” Bai Qingyan wrapped herself tightly in the covers, only her head showing, “We still have a long future together!”

“Hmm!” Xiao Rongyan nodded, stood up to arrange the curtain for Bai Qingyan, and then quietly left.

But after Xiao Rongyan left, Bai Qingyan couldn’t sleep no matter what. She simply got up and thought over the words Xiao Rongyan spoke to her last night, understanding… that last night Xiao Rongyan may have hinted to the Empress of the Dongyi Kingdom to imprison the fake Seventh Prince after the Zhou people leave, and perhaps… even let the Empress of Dongyi create a fake Tuoba Yao to sit on the throne.

After all, the previous act had already been done by the Zhou. If the Empress finds someone of similar stature, makes their voice hoarse, and puts on a mask, others may not recognize whether the masked person is the Dongyi Kingdom’s Emperor. This is not something determined by anyone but the Empress, who is about to become the Dowager of Dongyi.
