"..." Xu Changāan looked at Yun Qian thoughtfully for a while, then made a face of sudden realization.
"So itās just something similar to time." Yun Qian said softly, "No wonder it can be so easily changed."
What predetermined destiny? Itās just empty talk. If my husband wants to change it, itās just a matter of intention.
"Miss, what are you talking about?" Xu Changāan frowned.
Heās not stupid; Miss Yunās expressions and words are full of strangeness.
"Iām thinking about that Miss Zhu," Yun Qian said honestly.
"Senior Zhu? Whatās wrong with her?"
"I donāt know whatās wrong with her, thatās why Iām thinking."
Yun Qian was saying things that Xu Changāan couldnāt understand.
To Miss Yu, her own appearance interfered with Xu Changāanās originally predetermined fate, causing what should have been his destined marriage to Liu Qingluo, Zhu Pingniang, and Li Zhibai to turn into mere acquaintances.
I have disrupted my husbandās original fate.
So, what Yun Qian is thinking about now is very simple.
That is, if in the future, my husband finds out that I have ruined his fate, will he be angry?
Will Xu Changāan get upset?
Itās important to know that Xu Changāan just said he quite likes having a destiny, yet now his fate has been messed up by me...
He will get angry, right?
This is the only question Yun Qian is pondering at this moment.
"Do you like destiny?" Yun Qian suddenly asked.
If you look carefully, Yun Qianās beautiful eyes held a touch of guilt.
"Destiny? Like it? Miss, such things arenāt summarized by like or dislike." Xu Changāan looked helpless: "Besides, whether I like it or not, what does it matter, what on earth are you thinking?"
"I just want to know." Yun Qian lowered her gaze.
"Then, Miss, answer one question for me first." Xu Changāan asked back, "Do you like it?"
"I like it." Yun Qian stared at Xu Changāan.
"I meant destiny, not me." Xu Changāanās mouth twitched.
"Oh." Yun Qian thought for a moment: "I do like destiny."
"Why?" Xu Changāanās breathing quickened.
Was he nervous?
Yun Qian blinked.
"Whatās wrong with you?"
"Nothing." After a moment of silence, Xu Changāan said, "Miss, havenāt you thought about it, if destiny hadnāt arranged for us to be together, maybe... you wouldnāt have to wander with me, perhaps you would have a better, more preferred life."
"I donāt like these words." Yun Qian gently patted Xu Changāanās back.
"I understand, by saying this, itās almost like denying the life Miss and I have shared over these years." Xu Changāan smiled: "So, I wonāt let go. When you ask me, I do like destiny because it brought me to Missās side."
"Since you like it, then I like it too." Yun Qian thought for a while, then said, "When I said just now that I like it, I meant I like destiny and also you."
Miss Yunās offhand "like" had her own reasoning.
"What?" Xu Changāan didnāt understand.
"Iāve talked to you about this." Yun Qian shook her head and slowly said, "Not a peck nor a sip is accidental, which means even how many grains of rice a person eats is predestined..."
Listening to Yun Qianās words, Xu Changāan suddenly remembered.
He just heard Yun Qian continue, "Since destiny dictates how much I eat, and what decides how much I eat is destiny..."
Xu Changāan made snacks for her, and when he felt she was full, he wouldnāt let her eat more.
Yun Qian looked at Xu Changāan and earnestly said, "You are my destiny, so naturally I like it."
Which is why she can say "like" without thinking.
This phrase she had said before, and now saying it again held a different mental realm.
"This isnāt right... how did good philosophy turn into love talk in Missās words? Did you put honey on your lips?" Xu Changāan said, seemingly with a helpless expression, but actually a bit flushed.
Sometimes, when Miss Yun spoke love words, it really was overwhelming.
"You should know well what I put on." Yun Qian said.
"..." Xu Changāanās old face turned red, feeling like he couldnāt admit defeat, so he said, "Then, Miss, you are also my destiny."
He could control her, and conversely, Miss Yun could also control him.
In fact, as long as Miss Yun didnāt use a suggestive tone, but seriously told him to give up cultivation and go back to the island with her...
He would listen.
However, Yun Qian never demands anything from him, so it just appears as if she unilaterally listens to him.
The rare requests Yun Qian makes are always in a discussing, inquiring tone, never forceful.
He would listen to his wifeās words.
This has nothing to do with whether one has grand ambitions or achievements.
Because Xu Changāan knows clearly, he is essentially a parasitic plant, like a Cyan Rattan, only able to live by relying on Miss Yun.
His existenceās meaning is her, so according to her logic, no one is more suited to be his destined person than her.
However, what stunned Xu Changāan was that after hearing his rare love talk, Yun Qian slowly shook her head.
"Iām not your destiny."
Yun Qian thus said.
Destiny is a part of the river of time; this is something he is certain of.
And her husband is always floating and sinking in the river of time, so he can be her destiny.
But she is different; she has nothing to do with the river of time, even in this form, completely existing outside of time.
