Murong Ce was famously paranoid and brutal, and Li Xianyun was very grateful that Yelu Yan managed to keep her in Khitan.
"Thank you, Khan."
"I am your husband, and as spouses, we are united; this is as it should be."
Yelu Yan paused for a moment, looking down into her clear, watery eyes and asked, "So, will you now consider it seriously?"
"Consider what?"
Li Xianyun hadn't immediately realized what he was referring to.
"Would you consider accepting me, to grow old with me and spend a lifetime together?" Yelu Yan said very directly and openly.
Seeing Li Xianyun hesitate, Yelu Yan asked, "Do you dislike me for being old?"
He was twelve years older than she, indeed somewhat older.
It would be understandable if she minded.
"No," Li Xianyun blurted out almost instantly.
Yelu Yan couldn't help but let out a low chuckle and asked, "Then what is it?"
"Because your concubine is afraid."
