“Xiao Qing, although I can’t remember anything now, I know that the person I think about day and night is you, so stay by my side! We’ve already been away from each other for two years, and I don’t want to be separated from you for even a single second. The fact that you’re here now proves that you’re worried about me, and that you can’t let go of me. Similarly, I still miss you as well. Let’s not torture each other anymore.” Qiao Yanhui’s tone was extremely gentle.

Xu Qing was carried away by his gentleness. That feeling was like a pair of invisible soft hands brushing past the most sensitive part of her heart, making her sink into it, making her intoxicated, and making her unable to escape. This made Xu Qing tremble, and a fluttery sensation arose in her heart.

At this moment, she had mixed emotions. So was this man in love with her again? Was their relationship really going to continue just like that? What if he never remembered her again, or if he remembered her but then forgot about her again?

“Then what identity do you want me to use to stay by your side? Huh? Mr. War God?” Xu Qing was still rational. She didn’t foolishly agree to his request. She was also very glad that she could still maintain her rationality. A powerful man like him could only maintain his power through a marital alliance. For people like him, marriage had never been a personal choice, but a family’s. With Qiao Yanhui’s identity, his wife’s status should be extraordinary as well. Otherwise, how could she convince the public? How could she face a life filled with danger?

Xu Qing wasn’t afraid of danger. She just wanted to know what kind of position she had in this man’s heart. Did he simply want to satisfy his yearning and infatuation? Or did he want to accompany her for a lifetime and for them to support each other? What if this man only wanted her to stay by his side without a proper status? After all, in that case, he would be able to marry someone else. But if that was the case, why would she choose to humble herself just for that little bit of affection? She couldn’t let herself suffer grievances, let alone the children!

Qiao Yanhui’s eyes flickered and he let go of Xu Qing’s hand, but in the next second, he hugged Xu Qing tightly, as if he was worried that Xu Qing would escape from him. He knew that if Xu Qing wanted to leave, he wouldn’t be able to catch up to her. This woman had never been at his mercy.

Qiao Yanhui’s voice sounded a little downcast, as if he felt uneasy. “I’ll apply to the emperor as soon as possible… I’ll think of a way…”

Xu Qing’s gaze turned cold. “Apply for a position that can allow me to stay by your side? For me to become a mistress who appears in front of everyone? Or a dignified general’s official wife?”

How could Qiao Yanhui not understand Xu Qing’s concerns? However, with Xu Qing’s status, it was too difficult for her to become the official wife of a general… However, Qiao Yanhui still said firmly, “An official wife of a general!” Since she was the woman he fancied, she had to have the noblest position! She was also his only wife.

Xu Qing lowered her eyes and stood up slowly. It was unknown if it was because Qiao Yanhui had been distracted for a moment, or that he didn’t grab her tightly enough, or if Xu Qing was too strong and broke free.

The moment Qiao Yanhui saw Xu Qing stand up, he became flustered. He stood up to grab her and was about to say something when Xu Qing interrupted him.

“When you first lost your memory, I felt that your identity wasn’t simple. Then, you disappeared for two years, and I found out who you were. But I always believed that your promise to me would be fulfilled.” Xu Qing’s tone was a little bitter. Because he had lost his memory, did that mean his previous promise didn’t count anymore? Would he marry a woman of high status to balance his power?

“What promise?” Qiao Yanhui asked in a panic.

Xu Qing smiled mockingly. He really didn’t remember. The promise didn’t count just because he didn’t remember anymore?

“Let me ask you, will you only take me as your wife in your lifetime? Can you promise that you’ll never cheat?” Xu Qing looked at Qiao Yanhui, who was sitting on the bed, with a cold gaze. If Qiao Yanhui dared to deny it, no matter what his reasons were, then from now on, they would have nothing to do with each other! She disdained competing for a man with a bunch of other women.

Even if Qiao Yanhui lost his memory, he had to abide by this! Xu Qing wouldn’t compromise!

Qiao Yanhui was stunned and his eyes were filled with surprise, but he also understood. This woman was really bold. She clearly knew his identity, and that many things were beyond his control. Just like the emperor, he had supreme power, but in order to balance things out, even if he was unwilling, he still had to do many mandatory things. The slightest mistake could have a domino effect. However…
