Jade Dragon [Lan Xichen x Reader]

Chapter: 33

The mornings in Lotus Pier were always beautiful. Purple hues seem to surround the entire area as the sun started to rise. Lan Xichen had only stayed here a few times but he liked the change in the scenery. Always woke up early in the morning following his sect's rule, so it was no wonder he woke up. He changed into his robes and went out of the room he was staying in.

He walked around and stumbled across a scheduled area. He could hear a flute sound coming from there and smiled in recognition. No one in Lotus Pier played as beautiful as his fiancée. He walked towards her slowly and stood behind her quietly just listening to her play. She stopped and tilted her head slightly looking at Lan Xichen who had his eyes closed.

"Good Morning." She spoke with a smile and Lan Xichen smiled too sitting beside her. "Good Morning A-(Y/n). I must say I can get used to hearing you play when I wake up." He said laughing lightly and she giggled.

"If you want.." She said softly and looked across the horizon where the sun was starting to rise. "I wonder where he is now..." Lan Xichen sadly looked at her and now that he was next to her he could see dark circles under her eyes because of his proximity.

He raised gently put his arm over her shoulder and allowed her to lean against him. "A-(Y/n) Did you not sleep?" He asked softly and she smiled "I did..." He pointedly looked at her and she sighed.

"Alright... I slept for the first half of the night but I couldn't sleep after that..." Lan Xichen sighed sadly. "Childe Wei will be alright. Wangji did go after him." He said trying to ease her but she only looked forward.

"I know. But I also worry that HanGuang-Jun will be turned away as well. My brother is set on tackling all of this alone." She said and Lan Xichen could only pray to the Gods that everything ends up well.

"It's almost time for breakfast. I have to get A-Fen ready." She says and Lan Xichen nods standing up and helping her up. "Can I come with you?" He asked smiling and Wei (Y/n) nodded.

"You can... But I can't guarantee A-Fen not asking something weird of you." She said teasingly and he laughed lightly. "I'll take my chances." She smiled nodding and began to walk towards Lifen's room. She knocked on the door and Lifen opened it, fully dressed in new blue-white robes but her hair was a mess.

Wei (Y/n) giggled and she pouted. "Māma! Don't make fun of me!" She demanded and turned away. "I promise I am not. You look so cute!!" She gushed and picked her up kissing her cheek. "Māma!!!" She whined at Lan Xichen and laughed at their adorable interaction.

Wei Lifen turned to Xichen and smiled brightly "Bàba!" She wiggled in Wei (Y/n)'s hold and the elder let her down. She ran to Lan Xichen's side and held his robes. "Save me Bàba! She's going to do my hair!" She exclaimed and hid behind his legs. Even though she loved getting her hair done by her mother, she wanted to play the victim and get the attention of Lan Xichen.

He laughed and pet her head, "But A-Fen has to do her hair. She can't go out with me like this." Life looked up at him. "Go where?" Lan Xichen looked lost in thought. "Hm. I think I saw someone selling new sweets yesterday. But I guess A-Fen won't like to go with me." He said sadly and Wei Lifen shook her head. "No! She'll like to go!!" She exclaimed joyously.

Wei (Y/n) was quietly observing the exchange with a fond smile. Lan Xichen was keeping his promise to treat her as his daughter and it relieved her worries. Other than that he was already spoiling her and whenever she told him not to he just waved his hand and said that she was a child and deserved it.

"Then A-Fen has to let your mother do your hair." He said and pointed at Wei (Y/n). Wei Lifen shook her head. "I want Bàba to do my hair!" At her words, Wei (Y/n) giggled behind her sleeve and Lan Xichen looked at her shocked. "But--" He cut himself off when he saw her hopeful eyes. It was clear that Lan Xichen was weak to her looks.
