Tonight, Ye Fan's smile was extraordinarily gentle and doting.
It was like the bright spring light in March.
However, at this moment, how gentle Ye Fan's smile was, in his heart, how reluctant he was.
Looking at the stunning and beautiful wife in front of him, for a moment, Ye Fan really wavered.
For so many years, it was only this woman in front of him that could make his heart, which had always been firm, waver, right?
If he could have met Qiu Mu Orange earlier, if he could have become her husband earlier, perhaps Ye Fan would have really let go of the hatred in his heart.
But now, Ye Fan could no longer turn back.
That path, Ye Fan had been walking for ten years.
He had gone too far, so far that he could only go forward. Even the most charming tenderness, the most indulgent beauty, could hardly make Ye Fan turn back.
Outside the window, the moon was cool and clear.
The pleasant wind, like a cold spring on a cold mountain, flowed quietly through this dark night.
In the villa at the top of the Genting Mountain, there was a cozy scene playing out quietly.
The young man was smiling and the beautiful woman was shy.
In the face of Ye Fan's words, Qiu Mu Orange naturally felt blushing.
She had been married to Ye Fan for many years, but it was only in the last year that they had really become like a couple.
Although Qiu Mu Orange was not as shy as she had been at the beginning when faced with Ye Fan's kisses and hugs.
However, there was no doubt that Qiu Mu Orange was still extremely embarrassed about things like "having a baby".
The moment she heard it, she would blush like a ripe cherry, and her whole body would be consciously nervous.
That feeling was like a million deer banging around in her heart.
Both anticipation and uncertainty.
However, while Qiu Mu Orange was thinking about it, Ye Fan had already left to get the footwash.
Ye Fan was just jokingly teasing Qiu Mu Orange, he didn't really want a child.
He didn't really want to have a child. He had never even thought about being a father.
For so many years, he had put all his thoughts and energy into his cultivation and the planning of the "Beacon Fire".
Even joining the Qiu family and marrying Qiu Mu Orange was just part of Ye Fan's plan.
The only thing that took Ye Fan by surprise was that he really had his heart set on Qiu Mu Orange.
But even if he really had feelings for Qiu Mu Orange, Ye Fan had never thought about having children with her.
Because he wasn't ready for that.
He wasn't ready to be a father.
That was how Ye Fan was, he didn't like to do things that he wasn't prepared for, he didn't like unplanned surprises.
Of course, he was even more afraid that he would not be good at the role of a father, that he would repeat that man's mistake, that his future children would be like himself, hating their father so much.
He could not even do his duty as a husband, let alone as a father.
"Come, wife, it's time to soak your feet."
At this time, Ye Fan had already brought over the prepared footwash.
"Thank you, husband~"
Every day at this time, it was the happiest time for Qiu Mu Orange.
Looking at Mr. Chu, who normally reigned over Jiangdong and shook the four directions, but was so gentle and considerate in front of herself, Qiu Mu Orange only felt so happy and blessed.
I guess any woman in the world would like this feeling of being wrapped up in a gentle mass, and like this unparalleled sense of security given to her by her own man.
In the past few years, Ye Fan had been away all year round.
Every night when she was alone, Qiu Mu Orange would have random thoughts.
She wondered if Ye Fan had another woman, if he was snuggling with another girl in his arms.
That kind of insecure night was really torturous.
But as soon as Ye Fan returned, this feeling would vanish.
Instead, it was replaced by a heart full of happiness and warmth.
Soon, Qiu Mu Orange's jade feet had been dipped into the basin, and then Qiu Mu Orange was holding her cheeks with a smile in her eyes, like a young girl waiting for happiness to come.
For, next was the time for her husband to rub her little feet.
Her own husband's was really powerful.
Not only when facing strong enemies from all sides, but also in every detail of life, he was great.
For example, cooking, even though Qiu Mu Orange had practiced a million times at home, for every single dish, she could not match Ye Fan's handiwork.
Of course, Ye Fan's handiwork was not just cooking, but also foot rubbing and shoulder rubbing.
Every time her body was rubbed by Ye Fan, her whole body felt like it was melting, and her whole body was warm and floating.
Qiu Mu Orange simply could not imagine how a person could be so perfect.
However, this time, Qiu Mu Orange had miscalculated.
Ye Fan did not rub her feet as usual, instead he himself took off his shoes and put his feet in.
"Hehehe~"
"Wife, let's wash together." Ye Fan padded shamelessly and smiled.
"I don't want to~"
"You go away..."
"Yours is so big, the washbasin will let you step on it."
"Ah~"
"You're hurting me by stepping on it..."
.....
Qiu Mu Orange pretended to be disgusted, but in her heart, she was all joyful.
At night, Qiu Mu Orange rested early.
Ye Fan, on the other hand, still went to his study to read a book until late at night, as usual.
"Hey~"
"Man, you've been with me for so many years."
"This time I'm leaving, I don't know if I'll see you again in the future."
After reading it, Ye Fan muttered to himself as he stroked the pages in his hand.
On the cover of the book, it was written in four large words in hot gold, the Cloud Dao Heavenly Book.
Over the years, Ye Fan had seen too many people and too many things. But this book was the only one that had always been with him.
It was also this book that helped Ye Fan rise from the humble beginnings.
It allowed Ye Fan to go from being a humble outcast of the Chu family, step by step, to the point where he dared to call out to the Chu clan.
Having come this far, it was actually the one that Ye Fan should be most grateful for.
Ye Fan also did not know what to do with it.
He originally wanted to leave it to the God of War, Ye Qingtian, and to Yan Xia.
After all, after calming down, Ye Fan was also well aware that he had caused considerable damage to Yanxia's martial path.
Although those people had sought their own death, they had always been killed by themselves.
Even if the Martial God Temple did not pursue the matter, Ye Fan should always make amends out of family and nation righteousness.
It was right to consider himself, a Sealed Patriarch, as making a contribution to the country.
However, when he thought about it, it was not appropriate.
Because this Cloud Dao Heavenly Book was not written by him.
It was left behind by the ancestor of the Chu family.
The ancestor of the Chu family had left a legacy that the Cloud Dao Heavenly Book could not be practised by anyone who was not of the "Heavenly" generation.
If Ye Fan took the liberty of leaving this book to Yan Xia, wouldn't he be doing the ancestor of the Chu Family a disservice.
"It's alright, let's leave it here for now."
In the end, Ye Fan decided not to move this Cloud Dao Heavenly Book for the time being.
If he really didn't return once he was gone, then it would depend on the fate of each individual who the Cloud Dao Heavenly Book would fall back into the hands of. Anyway, it would not be lost abroad.
Therefore, after reading it, Ye Fan once again locked it up in his study.
And then, Ye Fan also washed up and prepared to rest.
Before going to bed, he went to Qiu Mu Orange's bedroom to check on this silly girl, who had stirred up the blanket again.
"Hey, without a husband, what should I do in the future~"
Ye Fan shook his head and laughed, before carefully covering Qiu Mu Orange with the quilt.
