His Mischievous Time-Traveler: How To Capture A Celebrity Husband?

Chapter 67: You were crying

The maid places the two sets of clothes in front of me - male and female. Her face is lowered. So, I can't see her expression. I can guess that she already knows that I am a female. Then, why did Li Jun give me the options?

Last night, he asked me to follow this maid to a courtyard. Ironically, it's closer to the same tree where I met him when he was 10. He has a good memory.

Being a woman is not advantageous in these times. I don't know what is my future. I am a freak now. I have a body that can't die until my heart beats again. My prince is probably Kang Si An who will also kill me.

I laugh as I pick up the male clothes. My life has turned into a tragic fairytale. At least, Li Jun is living well. Kang Si An will also live well. I get a long time to live too. It's a win-win situation. I must see the best. Positive thinking! Even my blood group asks me to be positive. I can make that keeper use spend those 100 minutes or whatever left of them. I am a firm believer that all fairytales must have happy endings.

Besides, I can spend time with Li Jun. The timekeeper won't be a thorn in my love life now. I should only focus on the present.

My mood is better now.

"Young miss, please follow me." The maid smiles at me politely. She is in her late twenties. Her hair is nice and tidy.

"Don't call me that." I am never getting used to these times. "I am wearing male clothes. So, just call me Xiao Wei or Mo Wei."

She furrows her brows slightly. "Master told me that you are an esteemed guest. You must be treated as a member of the Li family."

I blink in surprise. How much that guy knows me to indirectly adopt me into the family like this? In the original timeline, I married Li Jun. I came to this house as his wife. There weren't many people; just a few servants to kept this place clean. Now, he's not married to me. I am the witch who saved his and his family's life.

"Don't treat me as one. I am just a temporary guest." I am an average girl from an average family from an era when everyone had equal rights. I can't ever get used to this master-servant relationship. "Mo Wei or don't call me anything."

"Mo Wei," She says the name awkwardly. "Please follow me. I will show you around the household.

The maid is pleasant. She knows what to tell and what not to say. She shows me around the Li Household. Things are different from the last time. From what I heard, Li Jun has two brothers and 4 sisters. All the siblings are married. The brothers live as a joint family. She says more things that fly over my head. I guess that I don't care because I won't be staying here for long.

I wonder how my aunt is faring. I want to go back to the 21st century. I miss eating ice creams the most. I want to die after eating ice creams.

We keep walking. My head is buzzing because of the information. This place is huge. I guess people don't need to work out in this era. They get enough work out from walking.

I finally see Li Jun. He's practicing with his soldiers. My mood is better again. Seeing his manly body is better than eating ice cream. I want to kiss him so much.

Before I can call out his name, a girl around 18 in green clothing comes forward and wipes his sweat on the forehead. She has long hair reaching past her hips. Though she's young, she has a curvaceous figure. She's pretty. If she was born in the 21st century, she would make it to the A rank idols or actresses.

She could be a maid.

A little toddler waddles to them like a penguin. Li Jun takes the kid into his arm lovingly. This is similar to the last scene of a historical drama where the male lead and the female lead ends up happily with their kids.

"That's Madam of the house."

"Oh."

I feel a stab in my heart. I can't name this feeling. It's ugly and so sad. I realize what I have lost. It's something that I can never get back. I didn't know that I would ever feel like this. I don't want to cry. Looking away doesn't make me feel better. I turn around on my feet and walk away from the scene.

***

He suddenly turns his face and looks at the back of the small fleeing figure. He pats his son's head once before putting him down on the ground. Li Hua is nearly 3 years old. He likes his mother more than his father. He runs to Wu Qiuyue quickly and squeals in happiness. Wu Qiuyue gives him a warm hug. Her eyes glitter with happiness. She lifts her head to say something to Li Jun, "Husband, did you... Huh? Where did he go?"

She frowns when she sees him running toward a young boy.

Li Jun grabs the witch's shoulder. "Where are you going?"

Kyuri's shoulders tremble weakly. She sniffles and cleans her face before she spins on her feet. She has a wide smile on her face. He notices that she's wearing male clothes. So, she has made the decision to keep pretending to be a man. He can find an excuse to keep her with him all the time if she's pretending to be a male.

"I am going back to rest. I am tired from all the walking."

He scans her face. He can tell easily. "You were crying."

She looks away from him. Her lips tremble a bit. She's trying hard not to cry. She strokes her stomach and speaks with a small voice, "I am starving. That's why."

He doesn't believe her at all. Didn't she say that she doesn't feel hunger? But, maybe she is suddenly feeling hunger again. He looks at the maid he appointed to her. "Bai Lan."

Bai Lan bows her head once and walks toward the kitchen. She's smart and intuitive. Li Jun grasps Kyuri's arm and drags her along with him.

"Where are you taking me?" She yells at him. "You can't just take me anywhere you want."

"Hostages don't have free will." Li Jun looks at her sharply. He doesn't know why his mood is turning foul. "We will eat together."

Kyuri purses her lips together. A little behind them, Wu Qiuyue is walking fast to catch up to Li Jun.
