Chapter 113 Reunion
Hearing Mo Xuan's voice and smelling his familiar scent, Lu Jinyan's tense body relaxed, and she gently wrapped her arms around Mo Xuan's waist as a response to him.
Lu Jinyan was actually a little confused by Mo Xuan's sudden appearance. She hadn't found him before. Ruoshui City was so big, yet they still managed to meet. Perhaps it was just fate.
She actually missed Mo Xuan, but she never went to see him. It wasn't that she didn't miss him enough, but that she had other reasons.
Firstly, it's because Lin Churan is involved. Both Mo Xuan and Ruohan are Lin Churan's original partners in the original story. Although it seems that Lin Churan doesn't have any feelings for Ruohan at the moment, it doesn't mean that she won't in the future. After all, she is the female lead and has the protagonist's halo.
If she went to find Mo Xuan and the two met, then that damn protagonist's halo would force them both to be tied to Lin Churan's side, and wouldn't she be heartbroken?
On one side is the man she likes, and on the other is her best friend. What should she choose? Ruohan was an accident. She didn't realize that Lin Churan was the female lead. Otherwise, she would rather find a cave to hide in the snow than go back with Lin Churan.
Also, back then, she didn't have those kinds of feelings for Ruohan, so she didn't think too much about it. But she really liked Moxuan, so she wasn't willing to take the risk.
Of course, she genuinely likes Ruohan now, but she has no choice in the current situation. She can't just drive Lin Churan away, can she? She can't bring herself to do that.
Secondly, it was also because of Ruohan. She had come to Ruoshui City to find Moxuan, but who knew that Ruohan would appear out of nowhere.
Later, through spending time together, she fell in love with Ruohan, so even after coming to Ruoshui City, she didn't dare to go to Moxuan.
In the original text, Mo Xuan never abandoned the female lead. Even though there were many men around her, he still firmly held the position of the first wife. This was because Lin Churan risked her life to save him, and his cultivation stagnated in order to save her. Mo Xuan loved her, but also felt guilty.
Although she saved Mo Xuan, it seems that apart from giving up some points and exchanging some medicine from the system, she didn't give anything else.
She wasn't confident that Mo Xuan would be as devoted to her as described in the original text, and she didn't dare to gamble.
Lu Jinyan felt she had really gone too far, feeling like a cheating scumbag. Although in this world, both men and women could have many partners at the same time, her soul was still that of Lu Jinyan.
Lu Jinyan, who had lived under a monogamous system for more than 20 years, even though she said she wanted to marry a bunch of husbands and give all the handsome men in the world a home, actually became a little timid when it actually happened.
She was afraid that Mo Xuan would be angry if he knew about Ruo Han's existence, and she was also afraid that Ruo Han would be angry if she knew about Mo Xuan's existence. She didn't know what to do. As for Ling Yuan, he was not in her consideration at the moment, since she didn't have any feelings for him.
Actually, it's not entirely her fault. Back then, she lived alone for so long, and the men around her were either middle-aged men with Mediterranean-like beige bellies, mama's boys, or men from humble backgrounds who had achieved success. She also focused all her energy on working and making money.
They had no interest in dating. Now that they're here, they don't have to work themselves to the bone every day. Plus, all of them are so handsome it's outrageous. Who could resist that?
She's a normal woman, so naturally she likes beautiful people and things. Mo Xuan, Ruo Han, and Ling Yuan—any one of them could be a star. Who could resist? Let whoever can resist, come on over. She certainly couldn't.
However, despite saying that, she still felt a bit like a jerk and a little sorry for Mo Xuan, so before she could figure out what to do, she planned to avoid him as much as possible and postpone it for as long as possible.
Although the system would urge her, she would procrastinate as much as possible, feeling like a turtle that had its head tucked into its shell.
But most people are like this: when faced with problems they can't solve or make choices about, most people choose to hide away, not think about them, not look at them, hide themselves, and selectively escape.
She was the same way. Before she figured out how to solve the problem, she didn't want to go to Mo Xuan. But it seemed that God didn't want her to have her way, and that's how she ended up running into him.
Not only did we run into each other, but we also maxed out our favorability rating. Should we call today a lucky day, or not?
"Yan'er, I miss you so much!" Mo Xuan's tone was filled with longing, which made Lu Jinyan's heart ache. Was she being too selfish?
"Yes, I miss you too!" Lu Jinyan silently scolded herself in her heart.
Lu Jinyan buried her head in Mo Xuan's arms, her voice muffled and very soft, but Mo Xuan still heard her, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up.
"When did Yan'er arrive in Ruoshui City? Why did she come here so suddenly? Did she come looking for me? Why didn't she come to find me after she arrived?" Mo Xuan gently released Lu Jin Yan. Although he was reluctant, he still restrained himself in front of everyone.
Lu Jinyan was a little scared by Mo Xuan's four barrage of questions. She swallowed hard and whispered, "Yes, I just arrived yesterday and settled in. I didn't know where you were staying, so I didn't come to find you."
She wasn't lying to him. She had indeed arrived in Ruoshui City just yesterday and had only just settled in. Moreover, Mo Xuan hadn't told her where he lived. If she remembered correctly, Mo Xuan hadn't even told her his identity.
It's perfectly reasonable for her to say that!
"I'm sorry, it's my fault. I didn't tell Yan'er where I live. Where are you staying now? Do you have any luggage? If not, would you like to come back to my residence with me? If you do, I will have Chu Li fetch it."
Mo Xuan felt a pang of regret. Why hadn't he told Yan'er where he lived? Yan'er must have suffered a lot on her journey. She was a weak woman who had traveled thousands of miles to find him, but she didn't know where to look. She must have felt very wronged.
Lu Jinyan was startled by Mo Xuan's words. Go stay at his residence? Impossible, absolutely impossible!
"No need, I've already found a place to stay. Everything is arranged. Uncle Mu's daughter-in-law helped me find it. It's very safe, so don't worry. It would be too much trouble to move around now that I've just settled in." Lu Jinyan forced a smile, trying to force a genuine one.
"Yan'er doesn't want to live in my mansion?" Mo Xuan frowned. Living outside was not as good as living in his mansion.
"No, I just think it's too much trouble to move things around. Besides, I've already paid, and they won't give me a refund. It's just a waste, isn't it?" Lu Jinyan made up an excuse for herself.
