Rebirth: My Healer Wife Owns Superpowers Chapter 445

Chapter 445: Chapter 446: Is There Still Hope for This Man? Chapter 445: Chapter 446: Is There Still Hope for This Man? “What's the matter? If it's related to you, I'll listen; if not, I won't listen.”

Zhao Xiyan pouted, squinting his eyes as he leaned insistently into her embrace.

Qi Yue couldn't resist laughing out loud, tickled by his antics.

“Of course, it's related to me, someone might harm me…”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xiyan immediately stopped his movements, looking at her intently with heavy eyes.

“Who is it?”

Qi Yue quickly stifled her laughter and recounted the incident she discovered at the Bamboo Garden Pavilion the other day.

“Clearly, there was someone on the second floor, but Liu Zhinan just wouldn't let me go up no matter what. I asked him several times, and he kept dodging the question. Even the entire Liu Family, when it comes to the Bamboo Garden, they're extremely secretive; I have no idea what secrets it holds.”

Zhao Xiyan listened in silence, his eyes gradually deepening.

“Yueyue, did you say you felt that person releasing Inner Strength?”

“Yes,” Qi Yue nodded repeatedly, “The garden is quite remote, and by the time Qingzhu and I were one or two li away, I could still feel that aura. Qingzhu said if you were there, you would definitely know the person's background.”

Seeing Zhao Xiyan silent and not making a sound, Qi Yue suddenly worried that he would not allow her to stay, and she somewhat regretted her careless talk.

“Actually, there's no need to be too anxious, I don't think that person has any bad intentions…”

Suddenly, Zhao Xiyan interrupted her with a serious expression.

“Tonight, your husband will go take a look.”

Hearing this, Qi Yue's curiosity also peaked, “Then I want to go too.”

“No, you wait for me to come back,” Zhao Xiyan said with an unequivocal look.

“I want to go…”

Qi Yue wanted to persist, but then she saw Zhao Xiyan suddenly smile at her.

“Yueyue, you have other things to do if you stay.”

“What things?” Qi Yue was somewhat at a loss.

“Get a good night's sleep, rest up, and wait for your husband to return.”

“…” Qi Yue stared with wide eyes, speechless for a while.

How come this man never lets go of such matters!

“–Or is it that Yueyue's energy is quite good, and you don't need to rest. If that's the case…”

As Zhao Xiyan spoke, his hands had already begun to undress.

Qi Yue hurriedly grasped his hands, smiling in surrender, “I need to rest, I'll rest right now.”

“Yueyue is really good.”

The two of them snuggled on the sofa until the evening before they finally left the room.

Qingzhu didn't know how many young maids he had fended off who came seeking attendance. Hearing movement in the room, he quickly came forward to complain.

“Master, if you don't come out and deal with them, I won't be able to hold them off much longer.”

Qi Yue found it amusing and only opened the door after she had tidied up properly.

“The Great Commander Qingzhu can't even handle a few maids?”

Pointing at the food boxes underneath the eaves, Qingzhu wore a bitter smile.

“One moment they're delivering fruit, the next pastries, and then they come to inquire; I can't well send them packing with a scolding.”

As they spoke, the same few maids from noon came with lanterns in hand.

Seeing Qi Yue unexpectedly open the door, they all greeted her with cheerful smiles and well-wishes.

“Sir, the master has asked you to the main hall for a meal.”

“Sir, let your servants help you change, and then go eat.”

“Sir, you've rested all day, let us servants tidy up for you.”

As the maids spoke, they tried to squeeze into the room; Qi Yue hastily stopped them.

After much persuasion, she finally managed to send the maids away.

However, she couldn't refuse the invitation from Liu Zhinan to dine in the main hall.

“Xiyan, it looks like I need to make a trip over there…”

Qi Yue closed the door and as she turned around, she was startled to see Zhao Xiyan frowning deeply as he stared at her.

“What's with you now? Who annoyed you?”

“They like you?” Zhao Xiyan's words were cold, and his brows and eyes were filled with displeasure.

Qi Yue froze for a moment, then quickly understood.

“Haha… My husband, you wouldn't be jealous of women too, would you?!”

“What do you think?” Zhao Xiyan's face remained stern, “In their eyes, you are a man.”

Qi Yue rolled her eyes helplessly.

Is there any hope for this man?

But after all, he was her man, and she knew she had to coax him.

“Husband, there's no helping it. Who made your wife so handsome? Otherwise, how about this, I'll go back to dressing as a woman, then they won't like me anymore, they might even hate me…”

Sure enough, Zhao Xiyan immediately stopped fretting over the issue.

“Forget it, let's leave it at that; just stay a bit away from them.”

Qi Yue agreed with a twitch of her lips but couldn't help but laugh inwardly.

Soon, the sky had darkened completely, and a group of young maids came once again.

After urging Zhao Xiyan to be careful when he goes to the Bamboo Garden, Qi Yue headed to the main hall.

She had intended to have Qingzhu accompany Zhao Xiyan in case anything happened so he would have some help, but who knew that fellow would follow him without touching the ground.

“Young master, why does this big fellow insist on following you? The residence is safe, nothing unexpected will happen,” a bold maid inquired.

Qi Yue chuckled to herself.

Safe, my foot.

Hadn't Zhao Xiyan been here all day and night without anyone in the Liu Residence noticing?

Qingzhu snorted coldly.

“What does a little girl like you know? Mind your way!”

The scolded maid stuck out her tongue, not daring to speak any further.

With Zhao Xiyan's trip to the Bamboo Garden on her mind, Qi Yue was somewhat distracted during dinner.

“Yueyue, this is a white sheep your second uncle brought back from hunting; it's very tasty, so eat up.”

“Thank you, Uncle.”

Taking the grilled lamb chops passed by Liu Zhinan, Qi Yue sucked in her stomach.

She really wasn't hungry today.

In the afternoon in the space, she had eaten twice with Zhao Xiyan, not to mention a few packs of snacks!

To shift the focus, Qi Yue deliberately changed the subject.

“Uncle, are you really not going to tell me about that Bamboo Garden affair?”

“What Bamboo Garden affair?” Liu Zhinan feigned ignorance just as he had before.

“I suspect you are not my uncle. What kind of uncle keeps secrets from his niece…”

This remark successfully choked Liu Zhinan, who opened his mouth wide and kept yelling ah ah ah.

With a slap, Qi Yue pushed the bone out of his mouth.

“Oh my…” Liu Zhinan stared with wide eyes, unable to speak; he basically gave up trying to communicate!

Qi Yue was impressed.

It seemed she could only pin her hopes on Zhao Xiyan now and hope he brought back good news.

Meanwhile, at the Bamboo Garden, Zhao Xiyan's shadow moved at a speed invisible to the naked eye. In just a few breaths, he had already reached the base of the pavilion.

The pavilion seemed more imposing at night than during the day, with the empty mountains above looking as if they might collapse at any moment to bury everyone who ventured there.

Zhao Xiyan paused for a moment, then lifted his foot to step onto the second floor.

“Whoosh…”

No sooner had his toes touched the pavilion's railing than he felt a strong force.

This force was fierce and swift, as if it was intentionally trying to force him off the pavilion.

Zhao Xiyan's mind sharpened, and he immediately channeled his inner strength, ready to push back with a counter-force, but at the moment of contact with the opposing force, he stopped his hand.

“Master?”
