Rebirth: My Healer Wife Owns Superpowers Chapter 345

Chapter 345: Chapter 345: Return to Yecheng to Get Married

Zhao Xiyan clutched her hand tightly, his stunning face fraught with worry.

Qi Yue couldn't help but to console him, “No, you won't, I've told you I won't suddenly leave.”

“No, it's not just that,” Zhao Xiyan said urgently. “Do you know, Yueyue, whenever I face you, I always feel a sense of uncertainty… I'm afraid that one day you might not like me anymore. After all, there are countless men in this world, and I don't know who you might meet or what might happen. I want you to be mine. I want to tell the whole world that you are mine, Zhao Xiyan's… Yueyue, I was thinking that I would only marry you after a grand wedding, but these past few days, I've given it a lot of thought. A wedding ceremony is just a ritual after all, why can't we have the ceremony first, announce it to the world, and then hold the grand wedding ceremony when the time comes? Although my parents are no longer with us, isn't your master here? He could bear witness to our marriage. What do you think?”

“…” Qi Yue was taken aback, and thrown into a flutter.

This man had thought everything through!

But she actually quite understood the sense of uncertainty Zhao Xiyan spoke of.

It seems to be a common affliction among men–they always feel they truly possess the woman only after they have won her, so she won't run away anymore.

The problem is that this tactic doesn't work on her at all!

After a moment's thought, she said solemnly, “Xiyan, I fully understand your thoughts and can agree to have the wedding ceremony now. After all, I'm not someone who clings to formalities. But there's one thing I can't give you.”

“What is it?”

“A sense of security.”

“What's that?”

“It's the feeling of uncertainty you just spoke of,” Qi Yue said seriously. “Xiyan, I know you care about me, but you must also have confidence in me. Not just anyone can attract me.”

Zhao Xiyan hesitated for a moment before saying simply, “Okay.”

Qi Yue was also at a loss.

She had never expected that Zhao Xiyan, such a beautiful man, would feel insecure about her–she had indeed underestimated her obsession with good looks.

“I told you to be confident. Why are you still hesitating?”

She wrestled her hands free from Zhao Xiyan's grasp and deliberately pinched his stunning face.

Tsk tsk, what a pleasant feel.

“Yueyue…” Zhao Xiyan turned slightly red in the face, with a hint of redness at his ears.

Qi Yue was greatly surprised.

“You were just talking about being intimate with me, and you blush from a simple touch, are you serious?”

“Yueyue…” Zhao Xiyan called out urgently, “You now, you really look like a… like a…”

“Like what?” Qi Yue laughed. “Do I look like a flirt?”

“You still say it even though you know,” Zhao Xiyan glowered at her.

Qi Yue burst into laughter again.

She knew that despite Zhao Xiyan being sweet-talking and sometimes dishonest, he was after all a gentleman from the Marquis family, who had never been in contact with women since childhood. Everything he said and did for her came from genuine love.

Without it, he really couldn't play the rogue.

Otherwise, the two of them wouldn't have waited until today without any real progress.

Perhaps, if it had been up to him back at Northern Ridge, he would have made it happen.

“You said you lack security, so it's perfect for me to tease you and let you know that I also…”

Qi Yue was speaking wildly when suddenly, Zhao Xiyan leaned over from across the small table and captured her lips.

Tea spilled everywhere, soaking their clothes, but neither of them had any intention of letting go.

And so, the matter of their marriage was settled.

Originally, according to Qi Yue's plan, they should at least have controlled Longnan and dealt with the attackers before considering marriage. But seeing Zhao Xiyan so eager, she agreed.

After all, she could handle anything that came her way.

It wasn't a bad idea to get married sooner–to keep her man from soaking in cold water every day and potentially ruining his health.

Although the wedding would be simple, they still needed to notify the essential parties.

Firstly, they had to write letters informing Zhao Yongzhe and Shen Yu, explaining everything, and telling them not to rush for the wedding ceremony, that they could compensate with proper rites later.

Nowadays, various local armed forces were scattered throughout Beiyuan, and running into any one of them would be no joke.

Next in line was Chu Yuntian.

As Qi Yue's adoptive father, not notifying him of such an occasion hinted at certain issues, so Qi Yue planned to hold the wedding in Yecheng.

Firstly, to avoid meeting Chu Yuntian, and secondly to test Chu Yuntian's reaction.

The Longnan County Government was ostensibly under Chu Yuntian's control, and Qi Yue wanted to see if, once she left, Chu Yuntian would treat her the way Hu Keqing did!

Thirdly, it was for Zhao Xiyan.

His identity was exceptional at the moment.

Although he was ostensibly still a Marquis personally appointed by the Beiyuan Court, in actuality, since the conquest of Yulin Pass and taking control of strategic locations like Yuzhou and Yecheng, Zhao Xiyan had clearly become a power in his own right.

Appearing so publicly in Longnan County Government and getting married under these circumstances was obviously unwise.

Once all planning was done, Qi Yue set everything in motion.

The subsequent construction of Rishengchang was progressing further.

Qu Wei suggested that the original treasury was too conspicuous and proposed constructing a building around it. Additionally, by adding several stories on top, they could restore the original four-story structure of Rishengchang.

Qi Yue highly appreciated this proposal, telling him to go ahead with it since there was plenty of silver. Recruiting more workers and offering high wages would ensure the job was done beautifully.

News also came from Nanling.

Guan Yidao said that at least half of the people were under control, only Hu Chengfeng was somewhat unreliable.

Yet, upon hearing the news of his brother and nephew's death, he behaved relatively quietly. With Song Gensheng by his side, if anything went wrong, one stroke of the sword would suffice, so there likely wouldn't be any issues.

Qi Yue instructed them to strengthen their defenses and continue to lie low.

As for the pharmacy, Huang Zai'an managed it extremely well.

Her master was truly a natural-born doctor.

Stubborn about treating patients, he found great contentment within the pharmacy.

During the day he saw patients, and at night he studied the treasure maps Qi Yue had given him, refusing to go anywhere else.

Qi Yue had even considered taking him on an airplane to attend the wedding in Yecheng.

Seeing him like that, she swallowed her words.

Never mind; since hardly anyone was attending, better not to involve anyone at all.

After all, they would all need to be present at the wedding ceremony later on in Longnan.

Qi Yue had also arranged for the Black Feather Guard to covertly investigate the poisoner, while also having Huang Zai'an keep a close watch on incoming patients.

After everything was settled, several days passed and one night, the two of them left the city to board an airplane heading towards Yecheng once again.

As usual, they arrived at Flat Peak Mountain by the early morning, with people already waiting at the airstrip.

However, what surprised Qi Yue greatly was the attire of these people.

They were dressed uniformly in black, with black scarves covering their faces, looking like some kind of secret force.

But this also served as a reminder to Qi Yue.

Now that they had established an airstrip, it was indeed time to start training some of their own people, considering the variety of items she had in her space.

And they couldn't always have Zhao Xiyan piloting the airplane, right?

The facilities here also needed an upgrade.

Let's start from the basics–solar-powered lights were essential.

These devices charged in the sunlight during the day and automatically lit up at night without using electricity.

Next was the hot air balloon.

Hearing that already one hundred people had learned to operate hot air balloons, Qi Yue immediately said she wanted to bring out one hundred balloons.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xiyan felt not only astonishment but also concern.

“Yueyue, won't moving so many things in and out of your space hurt you?”

“Of course not,” Qi Yue replied with a mysterious smile. “When the time comes, I'll take you to see for yourself.”
