Enchanting Wife: Slave’s Cold Husband - C243
“Xiao Ai, I’ll go convince Su Nuo.” Situ Ai was even more baffled. He did not understand what Su Nuo had to do with this. Yan Qingcheng explained, “As long as Su Nuo agrees, then the Third Marquis will definitely agree.”
Situ Ai immediately understood. “Alright, I’ll go prepare the eyeballs of the living.”
Yan Qingcheng pulled her back and shook her head, “Just use mine.” She knew why the Third Marquis did not use the eyes of others. Since that was the case, she might as well use hers.
“I don’t agree.” Su Nuo walked out of the house, her tone as calm as ever.
Both Situ Ai and Yan Qingcheng were stunned. Situ Ai reacted and excitedly said, “Why don’t you agree? Don’t tell me you want brother Jue to never see you again?”
Su Nuo didn’t say anything, only allowing Situ Ai to glare fiercely as if she wanted to rush up to fight with Su Nuo. Yan Qingcheng held out her hand, stopping Situ Ai. She didn’t say anything.
“Sister Yan.” Situ Ai shouted, hoping that Yan Qingcheng would stand by her side.
Su Nuo looked at Yan Qingcheng and said, “Jue, you wouldn’t like this.” Then he left.
In the hidden corner, Bei Chen Han’s eyes were deep, but he could hear every word that they were saying. Even after Bei Chen Han had gone back, those words were still echoing in his head. Suddenly, Beichen stood up. How could he have not thought of using this method to get his Na’er to return to his side? No matter what, it was a despicable thought. However, he couldn’t wait any longer. Such a long time of longing, such a long time of waiting, it was even worse than killing him. Life was better than death.
If his eyes could be exchanged for his eyes, even if they were mixed with other emotions, he would still be able to accept it.
The scholar came every morning to see Su Nuo blushing, asking Situ Ai, and then obediently waiting outside. Even though her face was red from the cold, she didn’t say a word. Su Nuo had seen it, but she had never tried to force him.
Then, when Situ Ai came out, she saw that the scholar had started cursing again, but from beginning to end, she had never done anything to the scholar like she had said.
The night was pitch black.
When Su Nuo came out of her room, she had just helped the Duke of Northern Chen clean up and let him sleep. The air outside was slightly sprouting and smelled good.
Suddenly, someone from behind hugged her tightly. With their face pressed tightly against Su Nuo’s neck, they greedily inhaled the scent of Su Nuo, “Xiao’er, I really miss you so much. I really miss you.” His voice was hoarse.
Su Nuo did not struggle. Her face was still like a pool of colorless water, allowing Bei Chen Han to hold her.
“Nono, I’m just holding him for a moment. He’ll be fine soon. Right away.” Bei Chen Han said frantically, afraid that Su Nuo would mercilessly push him away in the next minute, or even say some heartless words.
But in fact, Su Nuo didn’t.
Bei Chen Han finally vented some of his anger, then forcefully suppressed his emotions and let go of Su Nuo. Only then did Su Nuo stretch out her hand without using any strength. She just took his hand off her body and then turned to leave.
Bei Chen Han panicked and pulled Su Nuo’er back, “Nore.” There was a fear in his voice that he did not even know he was hearing.
Su Nuo stood there and asked, “Is there something you need?” It was as if he was questioning an unfamiliar person.
Bei Chen Han was speechless, but he still held onto his hand tightly. Even though his mind kept telling him to let go, to let go, but like that, he couldn’t let go at all. He really wanted to cut his nolle into his own body so that it would never leave him, never again.
“Xiao’er, I’ll give my eyes to Duke Beichen.” In the midst of his panic, Bei Chen Han blurted out. Su Nuo still did not speak.
Bei Chen Han panicked even more. He was completely unfamiliar with this kind of person, like a deadly poison. It kept attracting him, making him want to have it, to be fascinated, to be addicted to it. However, his Na’er was still calmly standing there, neither sad nor happy, without any desire, just looking at him with a gaze that didn’t even have a hint of hatred.
Truly, it was too calm, too calm. Not like a pair of eyes a mortal should have.
“No, I don’t have any other intentions, I really have no other intentions. I just want to give my eyes to the Northern Duke.” Pausing for a moment, he continued, “I was the one who blinded him, so this is my fault. I should compensate him. Truly.” Bei Chenghan explained, not wanting his’ never ‘to misunderstand him in the slightest.
“Yes.” Su Nuo replied, “This is between you and the viscount. If only the viscount agreed.” Then he never went back into the house.
Bei Chen Han suddenly stood there, his hand still extended outwards. However, he did not manage to grab anything with his head lowered. He couldn’t catch her now, really, really, too far, too far away.
He couldn’t catch it!
Suddenly, Bei Chen Han thought of that day in the Southern Champion Kingdom when he had personally killed Xi Ling. At that time, his Na’er had told him that the current him was a stranger, no, he wasn’t even a stranger.
It was nothing but the air, invisible, and even as he stood there before his Noriko, his Noriko could not see him, could not see him.
His Na’er, with her pair of black and white eyes, could imprint the blue sky and white clouds, could imprint mountains and rivers, could imprint a wild dog by the roadside, but she could not imprint him, Bei Chen Han, even a little.
There was a burst of panic in his heart, leaving nothing behind. This time, he meant what he said, but what should he do, what should he do?
His Noriko could not see him so, but he could not, he could not see his Noriko, even in his dreams he thought of his Noriko.
No matter what, as long as there was a sliver of hope, he would try his best.
Just as Situ Ai was angrily scolding the scholar, Beichen appeared right in front of her. He said, “I am giving my eyes to Duke Beichen.” There was no emotion in his voice.
He was about to charge forward with his red eyes. In fact, Situ Ai had also done the same as he started at Bei Chen Han, “You bastard, you still dare to come here? This princess will definitely kill you!” He then looked around to find something to kill Bei Chen Han.
The scholar was frightened out of his wits, and when he regained his senses, he hurriedly rushed forward to stop Beichen. He said, “Young Master, run, run.”
When Situ Ai heard this, he was agitated. He slapped the scholar in the face and glared at him with eyes that could kill, “Scram! Scram!” The scholar hadn’t seen Situ Ai like this in a long time, but he wasn’t frightened. Instead, he took Situ Ai’s hand and said, “Miss Situ, no matter what, you can’t do it. If you have any enmity with this young master, you should report it to the officials and let them decide.”
Yan Qingcheng walked out at this moment, and when she saw Beichen’s cold gaze, she felt a chill in her heart. Her sword had already been drawn, aiming straight for Beichen. Bei Chen Han easily stopped her, and said: “I will give my eyes to Duke Bei Chen.”
When Yan Qingcheng heard this, she was stunned.
“You are not hoping for Lord Beichen to see the light again, I was the one who blinded him, using my eyes is the most reasonable choice.” Bei Chen Han continued.
Yan Qingcheng was tempted at this moment. However, if there was anyone in this world who should give their eyes to her Third Marquis, then it would be this damnable man. Only with his eyes, he would not feel any guilt at all.
“What scheme do you have?” Yan Qingcheng cautiously asked.
Beichen stared straight at Yan Qingcheng, not saying a word. However, in that instant, Yan Qingcheng understood. Bei Chen Han’s eyes clearly said Su Nuo.
Yan Qingcheng thought of Su Nuo’s words and the attitude of her Third Marquis. “The Third Marquis would definitely not want your eyes.” She really hoped that the Third Marquis, who had talked about the truth in the past, would still be standing in front of her. He still had that same smile, that same wanton attitude, even if it was just an illusion hidden under his feelings, it was still better than this.
Every day, he would just stay in this room. Even that fake smile had disappeared from his face.
“If I see Duke Bei Chen, I will convince him!” Bei Chen Han said.
Yan Qingcheng stopped. This was truly a once in a lifetime opportunity, a chance for her Third Marquis to see the light of day again. At the very least, it would be better for the Third Marquis to be together with Su Nuo.
“Big sister Yan, don’t believe him. What kind of good will could he have? It must be some kind of scheme …” Situ Ai hatefully glared at him.
Yan Qingcheng didn’t say anything, and just stood there silently. Finally, Yan Qingcheng spoke up, “Fine, I’ll bring you to meet the Third Marquis.” He paused, “But if you dare do anything to the Third Marquis, I will definitely kill you.”
Bei Chenghan followed Yan Qingcheng into the house.
Inside the house, Lord Beichen stood beside the bed, allowing the wind to blow on his face. Su Nuo had just gone out to buy some pastries that the Duke of Bei Chen loved to eat.
“Third Marquis.” Yan Qingcheng shouted with uncertainty. She was afraid that her Third Marquis would angrily chase Beichen away. After all, this person was the culprit.
However, Duke Bei Chen didn’t do so. He was just walking over, and he didn’t look as bedraggled as a blind man. Yan Qingcheng knew that this was because the room was familiar to the Duke, so nothing unexpected would happen.
“Cheng, go out.” From the very beginning, he had felt Beichen’s presence.
Yan Qingcheng was naturally worried. The current Duke of Beichen was not like back then, he had lost all his martial arts, and his body was much weaker than before. His eyes could not be seen, and they could not even be compared to an ordinary commoner.
“Get out.” The Duke of Beichen repeated once again.
Yan Qingcheng gritted her teeth and finally made her way out.
“Sit.” Duke Bei Chen said to Bei Chen Han, and sat down.
Bei Chen Han was shocked. No matter what, this person, a perfectly fine person, had been completely destroyed by him, and now, under such circumstances, he was able to speak to him in such a relaxed manner.
He vaguely felt that the Duke of Beichen had changed, but he didn’t think that the things that he knew could cause such a change for the Duke of Bei Chen, he definitely didn’t know about it. But whatever it was that made this man change, it had nothing to do with him.
“Duke Bei Chen, I didn’t come here to apologize to you. I don’t think I was wrong about what I did in the past. It was all because of my subconscious desire for a more complete Na’er.” However, he was full of guilt and regret for his beloved daughter.
