The Marriage of an Esteemed Supreme Healer, a Noble Ruler



Zi Chen returned to his residence, but he didn't have something to be busy with, unlike what he had told Tuan Zi.

On the contrary, his steps were leisurely, and his behavior was relaxed. He went to the table and sat down nonchalantly, pouring a cup of tea for himself.

His fingers gently rubbed against the teacup.

The tea was cold, but for some reason, his palm was rather warm.

He leaned against the chair and looked down slightly. His eyes were dar as if he were in deep thought.

Countless scenes seemed to flash across his eyes, but that appearance became increasingly clear, almost engraved at the bottom of his heart.

Three months.

He waited with much difficulty.

When he received Miao Zhen's news, he initially wanted to solve the problem as soon as possible and go to Godly Phoenix Mountain. However, he did not expect Miao Zhen to actually have other thoughts.

When he realized that Miao Zhen really wanted to matchmake him and Miao Xuanxuan, he didn't give the latter any face and wanted to leave without speaking.

Why would he waste his time on such an irrelevant person? With this time, he would rather go to Godly Phoenix Mountain and see who he wanted to see.

However, Miao Zhen's later sentence caused him to stop in his tracks.

At that time, Miao Zhen was very shocked when he saw his insistent attitude and found it strange. He asked, "Zi Chen, you're rejecting me in this manner because you have a girl that you like?"

Zi Chen stopped in his tracks, as if he heard a joke and directly denied it. "Senior Miao Zhen, why do you think so?"

He had always been cold and emotionless, and he barely had the patience to talk to anyone. Why would he have someone he liked?

But for some reason, when he refuted Miao Zhen, he somehow… had an inexplicable guilt that he couldn't state.

Miao Zhen immediately laughed. He shook his head, smiled, and said, "Why are you so nervous if you don't have one? Zi Chen, you instinctively keep your distance with all women and don't even want to try. Aren't you afraid of someone getting angry?"

He wanted to say that he originally behaved in such a manner, but when he was about to speak, a blurred appearance suddenly flashed across his mind.

The thoughts that surged into his mind caused him to be taken aback.

Actually, it was not his first time thinking of that face, but at that time and in that situation, he unknowingly thought about Miao Zhen's words again. Hence, he finally realized that he had some dangerous thoughts hidden in the bottommost part of his heart.

There seemed to be a paper window that was finally poked mercilessly.

If it were before, he could plainly tell himself that it was the feelings that arose from experiencing many years of life and death together. But after Miao Zhen asked that, he finally could not continue lying to himself.

He was even unsure when all of this started to change, but when he realized it, it was too late.

Then, he agreed to Miao Zhen's request and brought Miao Xuanxuan back to Fantasy Divine Palace to nourish her body.

When he recalled what Tuan Zi asked previously with her lonely eyes, his heart seemed to be tightly clutched.

Actually, he had no other reason for bringing Miao Xuanxuan back. He purely wanted to thank Miao Zhen for using those words to enlighten him.

He did not think that Tuan Zi would misunderstand.

Originally, he wanted to explain, but her reaction made him realize another possibility—a possibility that would cause his heart to race and boil when he thought of it.

Actually, he had his own selfish intentions for purposely not seeing Tuan Zi during these three months. He wanted to check himself and also see Tuan Zi's attitude.

They had been together for too long.

All the matters that happened earlier made Zi Chen clearly recognize that if they continued this situation, they would probably always be in this state.

Everything had to change. Only then could he succeed.

The three months were torturous. Even if he had always intimately checked on her situation, it was still very torturous, especially when she knew that a certain kid was always following her around.

There were a few times in the middle that he almost planned to go over, but he still held himself back. Luckily… it seemed to be worth it.

Thinking of the girl's aggrieved expression, he sighed lightly. I have to… be faster…

…

Tuan Zi did not sleep well the entire night. She had a nightmare.

In the dream, Zi Chen prepared lots of delicious food for her.

She rushed down but was stopped by Zi Chen. Then, she saw Miao Xuanxuan sitting at the side.

Zi Chen said, "All these are prepared for Xuanxuan. None are for you."

Miao Xuanxuan sat at the side and smiled gently.

She was very angry and ran away with an empty stomach, but she suddenly returned to her own room.

Perhaps she had run for too long, so her ponytail was loose, and her soft hair had become messy.

She planned to tidy it when she saw Zi Chen in front of the dressing table.

Miao Xuanxuan was sitting in front of him.

He was very close to her, and he even held Miao Xuanxuan's hair.

His fingertips moved slightly as he took the two red strings with golden bells from her hand. "Xuanxuan looks better in this. You should choose something else."

Tears welled up in Tuan Zi's eyes, but she didn't know what to do and did not snatch it.

She seemed like she didn't want to see it, so she turned around and ran away.

She didn't know how long she had run for, and the surrounding scenery became blurred.

Her feet seemed to be tripped by something, and her body fell forward uncontrollably.

Suddenly, she saw Zi Chen appear in front of her.

He was just inches away. As long as he reached out, he could save her.

"Zi Chen!" she hurriedly called him.

However, Zi Chen just stood there and did not move. He even took half a step back away from her.

Tuan Zi fell to the floor harshly.

Logically speaking, her physical strength was great, and it wouldn't hurt when she fell. But probably because it was in the dream, she felt an excruciating pain.

She looked up and couldn't help but complain, "Zi Chen, why didn't you help me!?"

Zi Chen looked down at her from above. His voice was very familiar, but his words were foreign as he said, "I'm already married. I have to avoid contact. I'm not yours."

Tuan Zi suddenly woke up from the shock. She sat up in her bed, and her face turned icy cold.

She touched her face and realized that… she cried in her nightmare.

She sat there in a daze, and her heart seemed to be rolled into a ball. This is weird. Why would I have such a weird dream? Why was I so sad in my dream? If Zi Chen really wants to marry a wife and have children… This would be the actual situation.

Knock, knock.

Someone knocked on the door just then.

Tuan Zi acknowledged it softly.

Yi Fu walked in. "Tuan Zi, today we—what's wrong?"

She was smiling at first; then, she looked up and saw Tuan Zi's bloodshot eyes and tear-stained face. Her clothes and hair were also messy, and she looked very pitiful.

Hearing the voice, Tuan Zi suddenly looked up and brainlessly asked, "Why isn't it mine?"
