I’ll Be the Male Leads Sister-in-Law
chapter-434

Mu Mingtang ignored his crudeness when Xie Xuanchen spoke out before she found him and clutched to his side.

Xie Xuanchen was standing in front of a map at the moment, thinking about something. Beside him was a pair of silver armour.

The armour was as tall as a person. At first glance, it seemed to be someone standing there as the black helmet alone was capable of sending other’s into shock. Mu Mingtang was taken aback, but after a closer look, she realised that it was just a pair of armour.

Mu Mingtang opened the nearest lampshade and lit the candlestick with the wick of the palace lantern in her hand, “Staying here alone is one thing, but why won’t you light up a light? If you can’t navigate yourself in the darkness, wouldn’t it be natural for you to get hurt instead?”

The core of the flames flickered a few times and the light gradually expanded, finally covering half the room to provide the two with sight. Mu Mingtang blew out the fire in the palace lantern, put it in a safe place and walked slowly towards Xie Xuanchen.

Xie Xuanchen only felt a sway behind him as the darkness faded away like a tide. The familiar fragrance gradually approached and finally stopped beside him, asking softly, “Since you’re here, why don’t you put it on and I’ll have a look?”

Although the Zhenqin Palace was majestic and somewhat oppressive, it had been useless for a long time after all. Mu Mingtang noticed that many places had accumulated a layer of dust, but this pair of armour was cold and shiny, shimmering spotlessly.

Obviously, someone had carefully dusted the dirt off just now. Even the sabre next to the armour seemed to have moved.

Mu Mingtang knew that Xie Xuanchen was probably having a hard time with himself again. Physical illnesses were easy to heal, but mental illnesses were difficult to cure. In this case, Xie Xuanchen couldn’t get over the hurdles in his own heart.

He naturally longed for the battlefield. After all, that was where his fame and ambition started, but he also used this pair of armour and these hands to ruin the lives of his comrades-in-arms.

Mu Mingtang watched with him for a long time before suddenly said in a low voice, “Your Highness, since I married you, it seems that I haven’t asked you for anything. Can you grant me a wish?”

“Hmm?”

Mu Mingtang suddenly stood on tiptoe, wrapped her arms around Xie Xuanchen’s neck and said with a smile, “When I was young, my parents asked me what kind of husband I wanted, but I couldn’t think of it. Later, when I met you, I felt that if I wanted to marry, I must marry an unrivalled hero like my saviour, who was someone capable of protecting my home, country and me. Because of this, I have always liked military uniforms and even secretly learned how to wear armour. Unfortunately, I can’t wear it myself so I can only help someone else put it on.”

After Mu Mingtang finished speaking, she looked seriously into Xie Xuanchen’s eyes, “This was my boldest wish when I was a young girl. Can you help me realise it?”

Xie Xuanchen looked down at her and was enamoured by the light in her eyes. There was no way to avoid it and there was no way to retreat.
