10288. Chapter 10288 The Demon Emperor Gambles Everything 17

Night falls.

Leng Xuan was bored in the military area, so he took Ling Xuejiu to the city and took a look at the destroyed manor. With the help of Xiaoyun and the others, the reconstruction of the manor went smoothly. In less than a month, the main part of the manor has been completed. Not only that, everything in the manor is designed according to the previous pattern, without any changes. Leng Xuan is very satisfied with this. This manor left him too many memories, and he hopes to maintain it as it is.

"Where do you want to go for a stroll?" Ling Xuejiu asked casually as they left the manor and walked on the spacious street.

Leng Xuan shrugged and said, "Whatever." He hasn't enjoyed the night view of the capital for a long time. He has been so busy during this period that he has no time to pay attention to these things.

In fact, many people in modern society are like this. Because of the great pressure of life, they are always moving forward and rarely stop, so they miss a lot of beautiful things. Leng Xuan is the same. He hopes to pursue the peace in his heart, but it's a pity that things always go against his wishes. Too many things force him to have no time to care about the things around him.

It was a rare opportunity tonight, so he temporarily put aside those headaches and enjoyed the time alone with Ling Xuejiu.

For so long, due to too many things, he had forgotten how long he hadn't enjoyed time alone with Ling Xuejiu. He always felt guilty about his wife. Looking back, Ling Xuejiu was just an ordinary person. By chance, she became the Saint of Jiutian Palace and embarked on a bumpy road. As her man, he often failed to fulfill his obligations and could not give her the greatest sense of security.

Ling Xuejiu has experienced so many things now, and has already completed the transformation and become more and more mature. Although it is gratifying, this is not the result he wants in his heart. In his opinion, a man should give his woman a sense of stability, but he failed to do so.

Not only Ling Xuejiu, but also too many people, such as Su Yurou, Li Mengjie and Ning Xiner, because of their own reasons, they were all involved, so that they could no longer return to their previous peaceful life. Over the years, Ling Xuejiu and Li Mengjie have never complained in front of him, but have constantly encouraged and supported him. The more this happened, the more guilty he felt.

As a man who upholds justice, he is undoubtedly very successful. However, as a man, he is a failure.

"What are you thinking about?" Ling Xuejiu asked when she saw that he hadn't spoken for a long time.

"Nothing." Putting away his thoughts, Leng Xuan smiled slightly and said, "Do you want to live an ordinary life again?"

Ling Xuejiu was stunned, as if she didn't expect him to ask this question. After thinking for a while, she nodded gently and said, "I want to. Although such a life is exciting, it is not suitable for us after all. Perhaps only after experiencing it, we know how precious an ordinary life is."

Hearing this, Leng Xuan smiled and said, "You sound like a person who has seen through the world."

"No way." Ling Xuejiu slapped him dissatisfiedly, hugged his arm and said, "If I really want to see through the world, I will abandon you first, and then become a nun alone."

"Then I guess you don't have a chance. I finally caught you in my hand, and I will never let you escape from my palm."
