905.2 Female Dialogue
Inside the Starfall Pavilion, the starry sky at night was exceptionally dazzling.
With the return of Young Master Xiao Yan, the atmosphere in Starfall Pavilion has once again reached its peak. Even though it is now night, the atmosphere has only calmed down slightly.
In an elegantly furnished bedroom, Xun'er sat alone. Gazing at the extraordinary starry sky of Starfall Pavilion, Xun'er's mind was unable to calm down for a while. This was her second time visiting Starfall Pavilion, but the situation was vastly different.
At that moment, a gentle knock sounded on the door. Xun'er opened the door and, upon seeing the graceful figure standing outside, a hint of surprise flashed across her clear eyes.
"Little Fairy Doctor?"
The fairy doctor outside the door was dressed in an elegant white dress, her figure slender and graceful, and she looked quite beautiful against the moonlight tonight.
"Xun'er, I'm sorry to disturb your rest."
There was a hint of apology in Little Fairy Doctor's tone: "Would it be convenient for us to go inside and talk? There are some things... I'd like to say to you alone."
"Of course, please come in, sister."
Although this bedroom was only temporary, it was arranged quite neatly. Of course, Xun'er herself probably didn't know that this room was originally designed by Little Fairy Doctor. Little Fairy Doctor personally took care of almost everything related to Xiao Yan.
"Sister, is there something important that you came so late at night?" Xun'er looked at Little Fairy Doctor, and she really didn't expect that Little Fairy Doctor would be the first one to come to her.
Little Fairy Doctor's appearance remains stunning. As she has grown older, her beauty has become more than just delicate and pretty. However, when she is face to face with Xun'er, she still inevitably falls short.
"Xun'er, I want to apologize to you on behalf of Qingqing... When we first met today, Qingqing was still immature and said things she shouldn't have."
Xun'er immediately understood what Little Fairy Doctor was talking about. Xiao Yan had just returned during the day. Although he had spent three years in the Heavenly Curtain, it had only been half a year in the outside world. Therefore, Xiao Qingqing was quite excited when she saw her father.
At the same time, the child noticed Xun'er's stunning beauty beside Xiao Yan and blurted out instinctively, "Daddy, who is this beautiful auntie?"
These words immediately created an extremely strange atmosphere. Everyone's gaze, intentionally or unintentionally, focused on Xiao Yan, Xun'er, and Little Fairy Doctor holding her daughter.
Xiao Qingqing's words themselves contained no malice, but they inadvertently revealed the complex and delicate relationship between Xiao Yan and the woman beside him. This matter was bound to erupt sooner or later, but because Qing Lin had stayed with the Nine Netherworld Python clan for many years, it didn't seem sharp at first.
But the situation is different now. Little Fairy Doctor has truly given birth to a daughter for Xiao Yan. And Xun'er has completely broken ties with the Ancient Clan and will inevitably stay by Xiao Yan's side for a long time. It would be a lie to say that there are absolutely no conflicts between the two.
For a fleeting moment, Xun'er's face did show a hint of undisguised surprise and embarrassment. Although she quickly masked it with a gentle smile, that brief moment of lapse in composure did not escape the eyes of Little Fairy Doctor, who had been silently watching her.
So after the banquet ended today, Little Fairy Doctor took the initiative to come to Xun'er. Although she didn't truly blame her daughter, her apology was sincere.
Hearing Little Fairy Doctor's sincere words, Xun'er felt a warmth in her heart, but also a pang of sadness. She immediately waved her hand and replied, "Little Fairy Doctor, you're too kind. Qingqing is just a child. It's perfectly normal for her to call me 'Auntie' because it's our first meeting. Even if she did say something wrong, I wouldn't hold it against her. Little Fairy Doctor, coming all the way to apologize only makes me seem petty."
Then Little Fairy Doctor nodded and took Xun'er's hand, saying, "I've heard about what happened with the ancient clan. It must have been hard for you. I believe he's very happy that you made this decision."
Xun'er knew very well that the "he" Little Fairy Doctor was referring to was Xiao Yan.
"Really? Sister, actually... I'm quite worried. My sudden appearance here, with this identity... might cause Brother Xiao Yan a lot of unnecessary trouble and pressure? Will it make the Starfall Pavilion, the Xiao family members... think he..."
Xun'er didn't finish her sentence, but both women understood that the relationship between the Xiao family and the Gu clan was currently extremely tense. Xun'er's status as a former young lady of the Gu clan meant that her mere presence here would inevitably attract unwanted attention.
Upon hearing this, Little Fairy Doctor replied without any room for argument, "How could that be? Xun'er, you mustn't think like that. I don't know about others, but as far as he is concerned, he absolutely needs you and cherishes you. Neither I nor any other woman he knows can replace you in this respect."
Little Fairy Doctor spoke frankly and directly, without the slightest hesitation.
"Xun'er, please don't disbelieve me. Perhaps I'm being presumptuous, but when it comes to marriage, the person he truly hopes to marry is still you. The only person he has ever longed to spend his life with is you."
These words struck Xun'er like a thunderbolt. In Xiao Yi Xian's eyes, she saw only pure sincerity, without a trace of hypocrisy or testing. Even though Xiao Yan and Xiao Yi Xian already had a daughter, Xiao Yi Xian still said those words.
Seeing Xun'er's momentary daze, she gently patted the back of Xun'er's hand, her tone becoming even softer: "Xun'er, I'm not bringing this up to embarrass you. I know very well that since he came back, his life has been even harder than before. He's like a taut bowstring; how can he have even a moment to think about his own marriage? He's a man..."
Little Fairy Doctor shook her head helplessly, yet with a hint of indulgence: "The burden on your shoulders is too heavy, the responsibilities in your heart are too many, and you always habitually put yourself last, even... subconsciously ignoring him."
At this moment, Xun'er felt much of the pressure in her heart relieved, and she smiled and said, "Little Fairy Doctor, you really misunderstood. Although I was asleep for quite some time due to my injuries, after I woke up, Brother Xiao Yan also talked to me about many things. He and I are actually the same kind of people, pushed forward by many things."
"We just haven't had the time to get married yet. This trip back from the Heavenly Tomb is the perfect opportunity. With a capable wife like you, who can take care of everything he needs, no one else can compare. I believe he won't wait any longer."
