"I can't believe you would leave me to do this stupid mission with HIM!" Wei WuHui huffed grumpily as she sat on the bed with her arms crossed while Lan XiChen finished with packing the essentials for the pouty maiden.

Lan XiChen chuckled, securing the Qiankun pouch before going over to sat down with her as he then reached over to grasped her hand gently, caressing the back of it. "I'm sorry, my Heart. Ever since I ended my seclusion, Shufu and the elders have been urging me to return to my duties as the Sect Leader. WangJi, ChunTao and WuXian has been looking after the Sect and its affairs for these past years while I..." he then looked down solemnly, his grip on Wei WuHui's hand tightened slightly, almost like assuring himself that she was really there, "mourned for your passing."

Wei WuHui gasped softly, her head snapping to him as she looked at him with widened eyes. "A-Huan, you...you've been mourning for that long? Since my death?"

Lan XiChen nodded, giving a small smile that was filled with pain. "I couldn't...moved on. Not when the love of my life had slipped from my hands while I was unable to protect her. I wasn't even fit enough to be a father to be able to take care of A-Mei and A-Bao, which left my siblings and WuXian to looked after them until the children turned ten was when I started coming out, started being with our children more. To be their father that they needed."

'Oh this dumb man' Wei WuHui felt her eyes getting wet with tears as she leaned against Lan XiChen, her head resting on his shoulder as she closed her eyes. "I'm sorry but...thank you. You've done more than enough."

Wei WuHui then felt the feeling of a lip planting a soft kiss on her forehead. "Thank you, A-Yang. I needed that."

"...but don't expect that I will not try to kill that brat every single day."

"Haha of course, my Heart. Just make sure you're away from civilisation when that happens."

"O-Old Hag...no..." his young mind could not comprehend the horrible sight before him as his body began to feel numb.

Fiery flames almost kissed his skin when he stumbled by as dirt and soot covered his small frame. When the strange array that kept him, A-Yuan and the twin babies inside disappeared, he immediately instructed A-Yuan to stay put with the twins before he ran off to go find Wei WuHui. To get anyone from the small family that he managed to found himself being adopted into.
