I am your husband

The next day Xiu woke up from her deep sleep and saw Lu Jian sleeping near her. She was surprised to see the changes in her life why does it look like a wife waiting for her husband to come back from war?

Surely Lu Jian has not lost his mind right.

(Darling boy could you explain my sudden illness and why do I have this man waiting or me here? Oh yeah one more question why am I again in this white hospital?)

Zoru was bewildered to see her reacting like this. Should not she be worried about her safety and thinking about precautions then why does it feel that she doesn't give a damn to what happened to her during last night?

He explained everything in full detail and was also embarrassed to inform that it all was because of the petty jealousy of the previous old host.

(How come she is still here? She was dead that's why I am here so could she still be here?) Xiu asked confused.

[It was because her last wish is not yet fulfilled and in her soul form she was able to use your powers which were accumulated during your life.] Zoru explained calmly. He knew what the previous host did was really shameful but if he had not told her that she could use the spiritual power of this person to remain in her soul form she would never be able to wield that power. So ultimately it was because of him and his wrong choices that Xiu is suffering now.

(Bastard are you telling me that she is harming me and that too by using martial powers of my previous life. Who gave her balls to do this to this princess? How dare she? And you say that she is me and I am her. How can I be like her? She is really damn selfish. I don't want to do this shitty task. Falling in love blah and shit! She can go fuck herself for all I care.)

Xiu was damn angry because of the previous host. Bitch wants to kill me. How can she be my other half? It is best she is dead otherwise I would have killed her 101 times.

Bitch wants my help and still showing tantrums. A fool like her would be only desperate for some humping from her dog.

Zoru didn't say anything regarding her outburst. Actually, he was too guilty to say anything so he allowed her to vent the anger. His cute silly face was on the verge of crying.

Xiu felt bad to see his sweet adorable face like this but she was so angry that decided to not care about him. If you want to be a fool then no one will come and give you sympathy because you yourself are the cause of your downfall.

The piece of shit had everything but due to her foolishness and lust, she lost her life then start blaming others that they don't love her. She is pitiful because she loves Lu Jian but what about him ? what about his feeling?

(Hell if she was as good as you tell me bastard then what about your loyalty? She didn't give a damn about you too. During her death, she only thought about Lu Jian, not her mother, not Shen Ya and not even you so how could she be that great hmm. Tell me?)

[But she loved him.] zoru said quietly. He knew what Xiu was saying is the truth but still, it hurts him to think about this. The person he cared about was always taking him granted.

(Love. What a joke? She is so loving then should I kneel down for her. Just because of her love she can do anything. Now I understand that why you want me to fulfill her wish soon because if I will not hasten this then we will disappear from this world. My soul is not stable here due to lack of spiritual energy.) Xiu confirmed her doubts now. It was really an eye-opener for her.

[ I am sorry. I really didn't mean this to happen.] Zoru started wailing after his apology. The cute little guy was so pitiful that even Xiu whose heart was always cruel when dealing with people softened.

(Don't cry, boy. It is not your fault I am not blaming you.)

[but you ….] zoru was confused.

(Don't be confused. Tell me if I will successfully complete my task then will we be going back to my world?)

Zoru didn't want to tell her the truth but still, after so many mishaps he decided to hell her.

[Yes, temporarily you have to go back to regain a stable body for your soul and to heal your soul which is half now technically to make it whole. I will create a portal for you.]

Xiu was shocked to hear this and was wondering how this will exactly take place. So could she go back now? Her thoughts were clearly visible on her face.

[No, it is not possible now. First, do your task okay.] zoru warned her.

Xiu pouted but still controlled her urges to flatter Zoru.

[Don't even try it.]

Xiu huffed but still conceded in defeat. She turned and shook Lu Jian trying to gauge his reaction.

Since he is already suspicious of me I won't say anything to clear it. Let it remain vague.

"You woke up." Lu Jian asked.

Xiu nodded. "Why are you here?"

"Isn't it obvious? I am here for you." Lu Jian said in his ice cold voice. He was slightly annoyed to see her reaction after all he has waited for her to wake up the entire night.

"I am your husband it is my responsibility."

Xiu raised her eyes and gave him a look. But Lu Jian didn't avert his eyes once.

"Oh! Really? Or you were wondering, I may run somewhere after all you are accusing me of fraud."

"Stop it now. You need to rest well." His ice-cold voice filled with concern surprised Xiu.

"Lu Jian, can I ask you a question?"

Lu Jian nodded. Xiu rolled her eyes at the man who treasured his words like gold.

"If you think that I am not your original wife then why would you give me a chance? I am not saying that I am not her. I wish I am not her more than you but we can't fight fate."

(Who wants to be your wife?)

Xiu said and had a faraway look in her eyes.
