69 Husband and Wife
Su Binglan always felt like she owed Luo Jin’an something whenever she looked at him. She wanted to treat him well. It was strange, but she couldn’t explain it clearly herself.
She insisted on handing the bowl of spiritual spring water to Luo Jin’an. “Hurry, down it.”
She seemed to understand Luo Jin’an’s heavy heart when she looked at his expression. She said, “I know you’re not afraid of death, but you have responsibilities. You should take care of your body and live on because of that.”
Luo Jin’an’s fingers trembled. Then he reached out to take the bowl from Su Binglan’s hand and drank its contents.
Seeing that Luo Jin’an had finished drinking, Su Binglan took his hand to check his pulse. She heaved a sigh of relief when she felt the cold poison in his body temporarily repress.
‘It looks like I’ll have to give him a dose of spiritual water daily.’
However, the spiritual water could only suppress the cold poison in Luo Jin’an’s body. The toxins were still present nonetheless. The spiritual water was a temporary cure, not permanent because of how severe the cold poison was.
“What in the world did you experience getting infected by such a life-threatening poison?” Su Binglan asked.
Luo Jin’an sighed softly and said, “You noticed my physical condition because you possess medical skills, but it is a secret you must keep. Like how I ended up this way, I have reasons I can’t tell you. Either way, I thank you.”
When Su Binglan reawoke, Luo Jin’an could tell she had changed drastically. She was an entirely different person from when Luo Jin’an first met her.
Luo Jin’an was vigilant because he worried someone would discover his existence and send someone to look for trouble. The Su family were good people, and he didn’t want to implicate them. If it weren’t for them, he wouldn’t be able to stay in Su Teng village for long.
He had to find a way to solve all his threats before leaving. He always had his principles in doing things and never wanted to implicate innocent lives with his problems.
In the beginning, Luo Jin’an took advantage of the situation and allowed the Su family to purchase him and bring him to Su Teng Village. The village was a suitable place for him to hide while being convenient to do many things.
However, he would immediately leave if he were to implicate the villagers. That was why he felt the need to test Su Binglan. After a pause, he said, “I’m also sorry.”
Su Binglan knew Luo Jin’an had returned to his regular self.
“You don’t have to be so polite. We were fated to meet. Just stay with us until I can cure you, then you can leave or stay as you choose. You’re a free man. I can nullify our marriage.”
Luo Jin’an turned his head and looked at Su Binglan deeply. “Is that so? Then what will you tell your parents?”
Su Binglan was stunned momentarily. She wondered how she could explain herself because her parents and the villagers would think she abandoned Luo Jin’an.
Su Binglan’s mouth twitched, and she asked softly, “What do you think?”
Luo Jin’an said calmly, “Since I’m still here, we are still husband and wife to the others.”
‘Ugh!’
Su Binglan didn’t expect Luo Jin’an to say that. Still, it was a good idea, and her life would continue as if nothing had changed. Besides, she didn’t want everyone to worry about her.
“That’s all for now. I will go to the back of the mountain to see if there are any herbs. I am worried the cold poison will retake effect in the middle of the night.”
Luo Jin’an’s condition was severe, and the spiritual spring water alone wouldn’t work. She had to use herbs to suppress it further. She knew the back of the mountain was full of treasures, and there should be some herbs to drive out the cold poison.
Seeing that Su Binglan was about to get off the brick bed, Luo Jin’an grabbed her wrist and said, “It’s very late, and my body is fine. Don’t go to the back of the mountain.”
