Li Xianyun nestled in Yelu Yan's arms, looked up at him, and asked, "Husband, seeing my master today reminded me of many things about my mother. You have never mentioned your own mother, could you tell me about her?"
Yelu Yan had told her that Guli was not his birth mother and said there were many things involved, that he would tell her slowly in the future, but he had yet to explain in detail.
At her words, Yelu Yan's body tensed slightly.
His first thought was if Li Xianyun knew his birth was laden with sin, that he was an unwanted, cursed child, would she dislike him, loathe him?
He found this thought quite laughable.
After all, those things were beyond his control, not his fault.
And Li Xianyun, with her inherently good nature, would naturally not hold such things against him.
But who made him care so much about Li Xianyun? He was always overly cautious, as wary as someone walking through a battlefield, and afraid of losing her.
