Dong Huiying was somewhat stupefied; she knew that Yixuan was referring to the words he had said to her before she had run away from home. Indeed, it was those very words that had made her start to believe that leaving would be better for both of them. She was a bit bewildered. Yixuan candidly replied, "Yes, jealous! You went to Jun City, and after you came back, everything changed. Third Brother, Fourth Brother, Fifth Brother, their attitudes towards you changed, and you began to adapt to being cared for by them. But those! They were originally mine, I had always been taking care of you, and without realizing it, you had become very important in my heart." "Important, very important, enough to surpass everything." "So I was jealous, I was anxious, I was lost, but at the time, I didn’t understand what these feelings meant. I was extreme, radical, I lost control, and I did things that I deeply regret." Yixuan slowly raised his hand and gently caressed her slightly swollen lips, understanding what this implied, especially since the eldest brother had not concealed anything, his expression rippling like Da Bai carrying something delicious on his back, having stolen it unnoticed. "Don’t always look at the eldest brother, at Third Brother. Occasionally, please look at me, all right?" "Here, it’s always warm, always burning for my wife." He grasped her hand again, pressing it against his chest. "I..." she blinked, but then Yixuan reverted to his usual gentle and indifferent demeanor, "there’s no rush, no need to hurry in answering me. You can take your time, but I want my wife to know that I am always here, whether you can see it or not, I’m here, hoping that you will turn back and give me a glance." Afterward, the two of them started preparing lunch, but Dong Huiying’s expression remained dazed. She would occasionally steal a glance at Yixuan, who was very focused on what he was doing, even though his emotions were far from calm. While cooking, he mistook sugar for salt, and a dish of salty meat became sweet. Then with an apologetic smile, he promptly made another dish. As lunch was almost ready, she suddenly called out to him, "Yixuan?" "Hmm?" He looked over at his wife. She gently pulled on his hand, "Can you wait a little longer, please? I’m not ready yet." She had just decided to accept Liang Zhichen, and now Yixuan’s confession had struck her heart directly. Being a wife to multiple husbands was her destiny; she thought herself to be a greedy woman, but it wasn’t easy for her. Yet, it seemed that everything in this world was like that. Once started, the rest becomes easier. Yixuan was taken aback for a moment, then he smiled gently, "Okay." He could wait, wait until she was ready. He had been waiting all along, but it was only today that he truly understood that his previous waiting had been one-sided; it was as if he was in a confused dream, and now he had awoken. First and foremost, he needed to make her understand her significance to him; she was extremely important. She probably wasn’t aware of this, and if he didn’t make it clear, if she didn’t realize it, his waiting, no matter how long, would be in vain. This was quite a risk for him. It was possible that by taking a step forward, he would find boundless prospects, or he could face a steep cliff, and fall to pieces. Luckily, as far as the current situation was concerned, he still had a chance. The wife had understood his feelings,
