Chapter 1166 Brother, Did You Really Never Love Me?

End of the corridor.

Nalan Ye Jue strode forward and caught up with Qin Xin.

For a moment, he felt he couldn’t breathe, needing to pinch himself hard to confirm this wasn’t a dream.

She awoke, she truly awoke!

Since returning from the Time Gate, having gone through the Black Fire Arrow, blood exchange, coma… she finally woke up, destiny doesn’t intend to separate them, she is his.

Nalan Ye Jue extended his arm without further hesitation, grabbing Qin Xin’s slender waist, pulling her entirely into his embrace: “Little wife, just waking up and running around, you’re really so naughty, so naughty…”

He held her tightly, uncontrollably, hugging tightly.

As if wanting to embed her into his bones and blood.

Qin Xin stirred in his arms, but suddenly raised her small face: “Brother, isn’t it a bit inappropriate for you to hold me like this?”

The emotions of a man akin to a volcano about to erupt were doused with an entire glacier of water by Qin Xin’s words—

“What… did you call me?”

Nalan Ye Jue’s breath halted as he looked at Qin Xin, although her expression and demeanor were completely that of his little wife, not Lan Qingxin.

He was confident he could discern this difference.

Unexpectedly, Qin Xin replied indifferently: “Just because I was afraid you’d have an episode and be in danger, I accidentally barged into your bathroom, you nearly strangled me, then threw me into the countryside, not letting me easily see you ever again? You truly are my good brother.”

Nalan Ye Jue couldn’t breathe.

His little wife… she clearly isn’t Lan Qingxin, her tone isn’t at all timid and meek like Lan Qingxin’s, yet why is her stance so “Lan Qingxin”?

He swallowed hard: “Little wife, I’ve been candid with you. She and I really didn’t do anything, it’s purely sibling affection. Sending her to the countryside was only for her punishment and protection, I’ve explained this.”

The little wife must have recalled somehow the explanation he gave back then, perhaps bringing it up because she was unsatisfied.

The little wife couldn’t possibly be Lan Qingxin.

This body couldn’t possibly be Lan Qingxin.

Lan Qingxin is in the cold storage chamber, permanently resting, with three “potential brothers-in-law” looking after her.

Yet, his confidence didn’t last three seconds.

He then heard Qin Xin speak again, indifferently: “Sibling affection? I got into an accident, you dug out your own kneecap for me, preferring to be crippled yourself rather than let me be crippled, are you sure sibling affection would do that?”

Nalan Ye Jue: “…”

He was one hundred percent sure, the little wife never asked him about this.

Moreover, not many people knew about this incident from over a decade ago, not even those closest to him knew that the reason for his leg condition was for Lan Qingxin.

He closed his eyes and slowly opened them: “Little wife, I can explain that too. Back then…”

Qin Xin interrupted him: “Brother, look into my eyes, tell me, you’ve truly never liked me, you don’t have any inappropriate thoughts about me? Is that so?”

Nalan Ye Jue felt he was about to break down.

Clearly, he was facing Qin Xin’s face and Qin Xin’s person, yet he has to answer a question posed by Lan Qingxin.

Truly going mad.

He took a deep breath, held Qin Xin a bit tighter, and decisively replied: “Little wife, I’ve only ever loved you, one woman.”

Qin Xin deliberately shattering his confidence: “Brother, when I was little and had a fever, you seemed to have held me for three days and nights to cool me down. You wouldn’t forget that, would you? You can’t deny that this happened, right?”

Nalan Ye Jue: “…”

Wait, back then she was only 1 or 2 years old, he wasn’t even 10 yet, okay?!
