REBIRTH OF THE QUEEN

"Gentlemen please come in," a voice interrupted Fu Xie Lan\'s thoughts.

Turning to the source of the voice, it came from an adult woman who was currently approaching them.

​​

Fu Xie Lan just nodded, then followed the woman into Noelle as did Gu Yi and Wan Lie.

When they are entering the room, for some reason all eyes immediately fell on the three people. Maybe it was because of their slightly different appearance especially because the blue robes they wore managed to attract the attention of the people in the room.

The woman ushered Fu Xie Lan, Gu Yi, and Wan Lie to an empty table right in the corner of the room after going through several tables filled with people from different races. Everyone stared at the three of them without anyone daring to make a sound until the three of them arrived at their destination table.

Fu Xie Lan who received such a stare looked normal and even she was indifferent.

"Please!" said the woman, handing her a small rectangular board that contained some of the food menus.

"Anything," said Fu Xie Lan after looking at the contents of the menu.

"Okay, wait a minute," said the maidservant then left.

At this time, everyone in the room returned to focus on their respective activities. Fu Xie Lan scanned the room, some people seemed to be busy talking, some were busy with their dishes, some were just sitting there staring out the window next to them, she doesn\'t know what they were thinking.

Now and then Fu Xie Lan\'s eyes met those of several people who were stealing glances at her. Only a few seconds, because after that the gazes of the people immediately turned to other things.

While on the other hand, Wan Lie\'s focus was divided. For some reason, he was very curious about the old woman merchant he saw earlier.

"Xie Lan, I want to go out for a while, is it okay if I leave?" said Wan Lie suddenly.

Fu Xie Lan didn\'t answer, one of her eyebrows raised.

"I want to check something, just a moment," he added.

"Okay, be careful."

Wan Lie immediately got up and left his parents.

After exiting Noelle, his feet took a quick stride towards the granny he had seen earlier.

Arriving at a crossroads, Wan Lie looked in various directions looking for the merchant, but could not find her. Strange!

Searched in the road many times but still did not find that Granny.

Wan Lie decided to ask one of the merchants who was right beside the Granny before.

"Excuse me, may I ask a question?" said Wan Lie starting.

Hearing someone talking to him, the middle-aged man raised his head looking for the source of the voice. His activity that was cleaning the jewelry of his merchandise reflex stopped.

"May I know, where\'s Grandma who sells in there?"

"Grandma? Who do you mean?" replied the middle-aged man with a faint frown on his forehead.

"The merchant selling next door, an old woman who doesn\'t wear any identity robes," Wan Lie explained.

"Sir, there was never anyone selling there, maybe you are wrong. The place is always empty," said the middle-aged man again.

Wan Lie who heard that answer again felt strange. He saw the old woman. There\'s no way he was hallucinating.

"Okay, thank you," said Wan Lie immediately left from there.

While on the other hand, Fu Xie Lan and Gu Yi who were at Noelle just sat quietly. Silence, no conversation between the two.

"I have a question," they both said at the same time.

"You go first," they said at the same time again.

Silence for a moment. Beneath her mask, Fu Xie Lan\'s cheeks were already red, like a boiled crab. While Gu Yi, the corners of his lips lifted, smiling faintly.

"What\'s wrong honey? What do you want to ask? Hmm?" Gu Yi asked when he saw his wife was still silent. He wanted to talk but he was confused about where to start.

Fu Xie Lan rolled her eyes in embarrassment.

"Stop calling me honey, I have a name," she protested.

Gu Yi didn\'t respond, one of his hands lifted on the table, supported his chin, pulled his hood back slightly, and managed to show his whole face to the girl. Because of their position in the corner, with Gu Yi\'s seat facing Fu Xie Lan allowed no one to see his face. Even if there were, there was also no way they would recognize who the hooded man was.

"All right, my wife. Up to you." Gu Yi teased again.

"Especially if you call me like that, I don\'t like it," Fu Xie Lan protested.

"I think you like it very much. Just look at it. Your cheeks are already blushing," said the man, smiling teasingly.

Suddenly Fu Xie Lan held her face to cover the blush who it was beyond her control.

When it touched her cheek or rather the cloth covering his face, she glared sharply at Gu Yi. Her entire cheek was covered with a cloth, how could he possibly see it.

"What is your name?" said Fu Xie Lan suddenly changing the subject and trying to normalize her expression.

"Are you getting curious about me?" Gu Yi said tilting his head slightly.

"Huh, forget it," Fu Xie Lan replied as quickly as lightning. Her pupils moved to scan anything she could see, it was very clear that she avoided looking at the man in front of her, let\'s say that she was now being embarrassed.

Meanwhile, Gu Yi\'s eyes never left the girl in front of him. Not even to blink. When else could he look at his wife without that young man among them?

Remembering the young man who always tried to be close to his wife made his feelings go crazy again. He doesn\'t like it. He wanted so badly to teach the young man a lesson if only Fu Xie Lan wasn\'t with them. Suddenly he thought of something.

"Honey, I\'m staying for a while is it okay?" Gu Yi said again lowering his hood. But still with an unchanged position.

"Yeah, Please! I was never held you back either," she replied in one breath. She didn\'t know what else would happen to her if she continued to be alone with that man a little longer. But somehow, what she said just now was very different from what she felt in her little heart… like unwillingly?

"So mean," Gu Yi replied in a contrived tone of voice, like a child whining at his parents.

"Go away."

"Don\'t linger," she continued in a slightly whispering voice. She doesn\'t know why the words escaped her mouth. She suddenly wished that what she just said didn\'t reach the man\'s ears.

But unfortunately, Gu Yi was not deaf, even the sound of the girl\'s breath never disappeared from his hearing.

"Alright baby, I won\'t leave you for long," he whispered sensually into Fu Xie Lan\'s ear. She didn\'t know, since when did Gu Yi get so close to her.
