The Film Empress White Moonlight Wants To Be A Salted Fish - Chapter 70.1

Forget it, Lu Yiran couldn’t wait to be with Wen Shiyan all the time, how could she not accept? She was clearly overthinking things.

Wen Shiyan returned home and found that Xie Shuyao had left, leaving only Lu Yiran sitting on the sofa, listlessly watching TV.

Hearing Wen Shiyan’s approaching footsteps, Lu Yiran realized Wen Shiyan was back. She stood up and said to Wen Shiyan, “Wen Shiyan, you’re back. Do you have any more work?”

Lu Yiran planned to find out Wen Shiyan’s schedule and pick a day to propose to her.

Encouraged by Xie Shuyao this time, Lu Yiran had already mustered up the courage. She planned to choose a day soon, otherwise, she was afraid she would start backing out again as time passed.

“No more.” Wen Shiyan finished speaking and nervously clenched her clothes.

Hearing Wen Shiyan’s answer, just as Lu Yiran was about to move away from the sofa, Wen Shiyan took out a ring and seriously said to Lu Yiran, “Yiran, will you marry me?”

Wen Shiyan knew she was being a bit hasty, and she was starting to fear that Lu Yiran wouldn’t accept her.

Lu Yiran stood frozen in place, staring at Wen Shiyan. Wen Shiyan thought Lu Yiran was refusing and was about to retrieve the ring in disappointment, but Lu Yiran had only been stunned by Wen Shiyan’s sudden action. Recovering, she quickly held out her hand.

Wen Shiyan joyfully and solemnly placed the ring on Lu Yiran’s finger.

Feeling the ring on her hand, Lu Yiran was surprised and covered her mouth, standing still. After a moment, she reacted and ran to the entrance to retrieve the exquisitely designed box from inside her jacket.

Lu Yiran blushed and said to Wen Shiyan sheepishly, “Actually, I prepared one too… This ring was designed by me personally.” She said, opening the box awkwardly, and with a touch of pride, sought Wen Shiyan’s praise.

“Very, very beautiful. Yiran is amazing…” Wen Shiyan reached out her hand in disbelief. Lu Yiran helped her put the ring on. Wen Shiyan cherished the ring on her finger, seemingly unable to look at it enough.

Lu Yiran looked at Wen Shiyan, feeling like everything had gone so smoothly it was unreal. It wasn’t until she heard Wen Shiyan calling her name that Lu Yiran realized it was all true.

Lu Yiran smiled and asked Wen Shiyan, “So, Wen Shiyan, when are we going to register our marriage?”

Wen Shiyan leaned down and placed a kiss on Lu Yiran’s face, saying, “Right now.”

The moment Wen Shiyan and Lu Yiran entered the civil affairs bureau together was captured by a passerby. On the way to the bureau, Lu Yiran had already noticed they were being followed. Since it wasn’t causing them any trouble, the two didn’t mind, and they hadn’t intended to hide the fact that they were registering their marriage anyway.

Netizens on Weibo instantly went into a frenzy over the photo. As people flooded Wen Shiyan and Lu Yiran’s Weibo accounts asking if the marriage was real or fake.

That evening, the two posted on Weibo simultaneously.

Lu Yiran V: The marriage certificate booklet is very beautiful @WenShiyan

Wen Shiyan V: But you are more beautiful. @LuYiran

Since the two posted on Weibo, the netizens remained excited for a whole week.

However, Wen Shiyan and Lu Yiran themselves never logged back onto Weibo after posting.

The parents of both families saw the Weibo posts and gathered together. Xie Mother said to Wen Shiyan, “You actually did such a big thing secretly by yourselves.”

Lu Chiqiu wasn’t too bothered that the two had registered their marriage without telling anyone. She gently patted Xie Mother’s hand, comforting her, “Oh, don’t worry about it. The children have grown up, they can discuss these things themselves.”

Pei Ruochu asked from the side, “So when are you planning to hold the wedding?”

Lu Yiran had been focusing on the proposal and hadn’t really thought about this question.

Wen Shiyan suddenly spoke up, “Mid-October. There’s still plenty of time to prepare for the wedding.” She then asked Lu Yiran for her opinion, “Is that okay, Yiran?”

Lu Yiran nodded. “Of course.”

October… Lu Yiran looked at Wen Shiyan. That was the month she and Wen Shiyan first met. Wen Shiyan still remembered.

Once the date was set, the remaining matters were left to the elders. Wen Shiyan and Lu Yiran returned home together.

On the balcony, Lu Yiran looked at the night sky and couldn’t help but sigh, “This all feels so unreal.”

【Truly, truly, this is more real than real gold!】

Hearing the System’s voice, Lu Yiran shouted out in surprise, “A’Ju!”

“190…” Wen Shiyan hadn’t seen the System for a long time since waking up in the hospital. She could feel that this was the System she was familiar with.

【I’m back. Thank you very much… for saving the controlled me. If it weren’t for… I would have disappeared.】

190’s words were intermittent, and Wen Shiyan couldn’t clearly hear who saved it, but she had a feeling. Lu Yiran looked at Wen Shiyan without changing her expression upon hearing the System’s words.

Seeing that 190 was okay, Lu Yiran was relieved. She said to 190, “It’s good that you’re back.”

Wen Shiyan fell into contemplation looking at the two. Her intuition told her that Lu Yiran was still hiding something from her. She was about to ask 190 directly, but she found that even when 190 spoke to her, she couldn’t hear clearly what it was saying.

【I will also attend your wedding.】

Since 190 still had work, it chatted with them briefly before bidding them farewell.

After the System left, Lu Yiran was about to go and do her own thing, but Wen Shiyan held her hand. Being held by Wen Shiyan made Lu Yiran suddenly feel a little embarrassed. Even though she and Wen Shiyan were already married, she still felt shy about these ordinary acts of intimacy.

Lu Yiran asked, “What’s wrong?”

Wen Shiyan shook her head, suppressing the question she wanted to ask. “Nothing.”

Wen Shiyan originally thought that if she didn’t ask, nothing would happen, but she couldn’t sleep all night because of this question. She felt that this matter wasn’t as simple as Lu Yiran had told her in the hospital. If such a gamble failed, there must be some consequence.

Thus, Wen Shiyan stayed awake, waiting for Lu Yiran to wake up.

In the morning, Lu Yiran woke up, yawned, and rubbed her eyes, looking at Wen Shiyan. Wen Shiyan had been looking at Lu Yiran, and when Lu Yiran realized Wen Shiyan was staring at her, she was startled.

“Why are you awake so early?” Lu Yiran said, getting out of bed. Seeing the dark circles under Wen Shiyan’s eyes, Lu Yiran asked in disbelief, “Did you not sleep all night?”

Lu Yiran couldn’t believe it. If Wen Shiyan had just stayed up late for a while, Lu Yiran wouldn’t be so surprised, as Wen Shiyan usually slept quite early, let alone not sleeping for a whole night.

After a night of overthinking, Wen Shiyan finally couldn’t hold back. She asked Lu Yiran, “Yiran, what exactly are you hiding from me?”

Lu Yiran looked at Wen Shiyan’s appearance and silently lowered her head. She had postponed this question from Wen Shiyan for a long time. Lu Yiran knew that dragging it out further would affect her and Wen Shiyan. Although she had answered Wen Shiyan before, she knew that Wen Shiyan wouldn’t really believe her simple statement.

“Then I’ll tell you…”

Lu Yiran lowered her head and spoke with some hesitation, “Actually, it’s just as I told you before, except the consequence of failure is my life.”

Lu Yiran looked up at Wen Shiyan. In other words, a life for a life…

Lu Yiran’s light-hearted sentence left Wen Shiyan speechless. Wen Shiyan clenched her fists, her fingernails digging into her palm. She hadn’t expected the price to be Lu Yiran’s life. If she really hadn’t remembered anything about Lu Yiran this time, then Lu Yiran would have…

“Don’t do this…” Lu Yiran pulled at Wen Shiyan’s hand to stop her from hurting herself. “I would never gamble my life with ‘Him,’ and look, I’m fine now, aren’t I?” Lu Yiran tried not to make it sound too serious, as she was afraid Wen Shiyan would blame herself like this.

Wen Shiyan suddenly hugged Lu Yiran, her eyes red, and said to her, “But Yiran, what would I do if you really left me? Lu Yiran, please promise me you won’t gamble your life like this with anything ever again. You know, I only have you…”

Seeing Wen Shiyan’s tears falling one by one, Lu Yiran quickly grabbed a tissue. “W-Wen Shiyan, don’t be like this…” Lu Yiran frantically wiped Wen Shiyan’s tears. Wen Shiyan held Lu Yiran’s wrist and looked at her, saying, “Promise me, Yiran, never do this again.”

Lu Yiran stopped wiping Wen Shiyan’s tears. “Okay, I promise you.”

Now that they had talked it out, Wen Shiyan wanted to severely discipline such a disobedient Lu Yiran.

Wen Shiyan helplessly said to Lu Yiran, “Yiran, I remember I said before that you should tell me if anything happened. What should I do with such a disobedient person?”

“Anyway, Jiejie loves me the most, she definitely won’t punish me.” Lu Yiran said, hugging Wen Shiyan’s arm and acting spoiled. Luckily, she confessed today, otherwise, if she told her later, Wen Shiyan would definitely punish her.

Hearing Lu Yiran’s address, Wen Shiyan smiled and shook her head. Sure enough, her Yiran only called her that at times like this. Forget it, since Lu Yiran confessed everything, she wouldn’t say anything more this time.

Qin Xuan stared blankly at the notebook in front of her. The conversation with Qin Mo in the notebook had stopped a long time ago. Qin Xuan lay in bed, escaping reality by sleeping every day. She knew Qin Mo had left for good this time, but she just couldn’t believe it.

After the doctor confirmed that Qin Mo would not reappear and Qin Xuan had returned to normal, Qin Xuan was taken home by her family.

Qin Xuan noticed that her family looked at her with an unusual expression. Qin Xuan knew that her relationship with her family could never go back to the way it was. Everyone was afraid of her. Qin Xuan sneered and returned to her room.

Qin Xuan stayed in her room since returning home and didn’t go out. While tidying her personal belongings, Qin Xuan accidentally cut her fingertip with a piece of paper. Blood seeped from the wound. She paused, then instinctively winced and covered her hand. The book in her hand fell to the floor.

After bandaging her finger, Qin Xuan bent down to pick up the book. As she lifted the book, a piece of paper fell out of it.

Qin Xuan crouched down, opened the folded paper, and saw the words on it.

By the time you see this, I’m probably gone. I’ve caused irreparable harm to others, and it’s time for me to leave. I hope you will be well after I’m gone.

Qin Xuan read it, folded the paper back up, and put it back in the book. She stopped tidying up and went back to her room, locking herself in.

Qin Xuan looked at the desk and spoke blankly, “Qin Mo, come out. I still have a lot to say to you…”

“Qin Mo, you can’t just leave me like this…”

She couldn’t live without Qin Mo. Qin Mo helped her solve all the problems she couldn’t face. She couldn’t lose Qin Mo…

Qin Xuan waited for a long time but didn’t get a response from Qin Mo.

Qin Xuan angrily swept the papers and books on the desk to the floor. The floor was a mess. She hammered the desk and said fiercely, “Qin Mo, the harm you caused others should be repaid by you personally! Why are you hiding!”

Realizing Qin Mo still wouldn’t come out, Qin Xuan quickly ran downstairs to find a knife, returned to the room, and held the blade against her neck. Sweat broke out on her forehead as she smiled and said, “Qin Mo, come out, or I’ll take this body and die today!”

Feeling the pain from the blade pressed against her, Qin Xuan’s hand trembled, and the knife dropped to the floor. After the sound of metal hitting the ground, Qin Xuan squatted down, shaking all over.

She was afraid of death. She feared pain and death the most. Even though she said that, she was scared inside.
