Chapter 143 I kissed my husband until he fainted
When they arrived at the manor, since only those at the banquet knew about the Marshal's return and no one had informed Allison beforehand, the guards assumed that it was the lady who had returned. The privacy film on the windows of the hovercar prevented them from noticing the addition of a black-haired Alpha in the back seat.
The car stopped at the foot of the main building's steps. Just as the driver was about to get out to hold an umbrella for the two of them, the lady opened the door and got out of the car.
The downpour soaked him through instantly, and his once meticulously styled, slightly wavy brown hair fell loose. He quickly walked up the steps, not waiting for Ling Suyu as he used to.
Ling Suyu caught up in a few steps, and the two walked silently to the platform on the steps.
Wen Shumu was naturally happy; his brother's return alive was his greatest wish, but a bittersweet feeling still lingered in his heart.
He had imagined countless times when he would meet Ling Suyu again, but he never expected it would be at a banquet.
His Majesty seems to have known this all along.
Why didn't you tell him beforehand... He wasn't prepared at all. His clothes weren't very nice today, and he didn't seem very energetic. He probably looked quite dejected.
But he was really sad for a long, long time, and he almost forgot how to act happy.
A soft voice from the Alpha beside her said, "Xiao Mu, I'm sorry."
Wen Shumu bit her lip and looked up at him.
"I'm late." Ling Suyu looked at the Omega, whose round face had become so thin, and his blue eyes were full of self-blame.
He couldn't imagine what Wen Shumu's reaction would be after learning of his disappearance.
Wen Shumu asked, "When did they find you?"
Ling Suyu recalled the time: "Six days ago."
Wen Shumu then fell silent again.
The torrential rain slanted into the platform, completely soaking their clothes.
Ling Suyu stepped aside to shield Wen Shumu from the rain: "You'll catch a cold if you stand here any longer, let's go inside..."
Nobody told me.
A layer of mist clouded Wen Shumu's eyes: "I don't know anything."
"I don't know the specifics of your disappearance, I don't know if you were injured, I don't know when you'll be back, I don't know... whether you're dead or alive."
Ling Suyu's eyes were red-rimmed, making his face appear even more pale.
"I'll tell you everything you don't know, one by one." Ling Suyu lowered his head and gently pressed his forehead against Wen Shumu's. "But I must say, Xiaomu, I didn't know you were unaware of this. After they found me, I was unconscious for a long time and only woke up today."
"I was already at the Palace of Helios when I woke up. I heard about the banquet from Loren and that you were there, so I came here as soon as possible."
Wen Shumu's expression hardened. Recalling the scene at the banquet, he thought for a moment and roughly understood the whole story.
With Ling Suyu's fate uncertain, Yi Hao still held a grand banquet and invited nobles to attend despite widespread public discontent. This was indeed not in line with the usual conduct of an emperor.
He learned that Ling Suyu had been found, but he did not make it public for the time being, presumably to use this banquet to uncover the hidden ambitions and schemes of the nobles.
Wen Shumu sighed softly.
It is estimated that news of Xuanbo and his group's actions reached Yi Hao's ears.
His Majesty does not trust him at this critical moment, or rather, he does not trust the collateral branches of the Wen family.
In the emperor's eyes, he and Wen Boshuang were vying for the title. If he were to tell him about Ling Suyu, the slightest carelessness could lead to these collateral relatives using it as a bargaining chip in their power struggle.
Once the news of Ling Suyu's return spreads, the nobles will have to keep a low profile, at least on the surface. In that case, Yi Hao's purpose in holding this banquet will not be achieved.
Seeing that Wen Shumu remained silent, Ling Suyu's expression turned anxious. He didn't want Xiaomu to misunderstand that he and Yi Hao had deliberately concealed the truth, so he continued to explain, "The people in the legion didn't know I was back either. I ran into them on my way to the banquet hall. Only His Majesty's close advisors knew about my presence at Helios Palace."
Ling Suyu frowned, enduring his headache as he recalled the scene when he was found: "I think I was found by a man in black I'd never seen before, who didn't seem to be a soldier from the Legion. After that, I didn't know anything because I had passed out."
The rain was fierce and heavy, soaking the tall marshal to the bone, making him look like a wounded wolf from the wilderness. The anxiety in his blue eyes was clearly seen by Wen Shumu.
After listening to Ling Suyu's words, Wen Shumu was speechless for a moment, a dark light appearing in his eyes. All his confusion and unease dissipated in the storm because of the Alpha's honesty.
He suddenly whispered, "Brother, I love you."
This was the response he hadn't had a chance to say during their last phone call.
After nearly a month, the opportunity finally arrived.
Ling Suyu's pupils dilated slightly, and the weight in his heart finally lifted. He was overwhelmed with joy by Wen Shumu's confession. Before he could react, his lips covered Wen Shumu's soft, cool lips.
The familiar sweet aroma of strawberry cake wafted over, quickly met by the melting snow.
Wen Shumu clung tightly to Ling Suyu's shoulders and back, wishing he could stay connected with him forever and never be separated.
They kissed passionately on the platform.
Love, like a summer flower nourished by rain, finally grows and blooms unrestrainedly.
Allison received a message from the gatekeeper that the lady had returned, so he immediately put down his work and hurried downstairs.
A look of confusion unconsciously appeared on his face. The banquet should have just started not long ago, so why did Madam return so quickly?
As Allison walked down the corridor, he glanced out the window; the rain was pouring down.
When they arrived at the lobby on the first floor, the lady had not yet come in.
Allison quickened his pace, grabbed an umbrella, and went out to greet him.
As soon as the door was pushed open, Allison's eyes widened before he could even open his umbrella.
He...he...he...he must have seen that right?!
Allison, without bothering to open the umbrella, raised his hand to rub his eyes, blinked several times, and looked over again.
That AO couple kissing looks more like a marshal and his wife!
The towering Alpha held the Omega firmly in his embrace, like the raging winds and torrential rain merging with the outside world.
The housekeeper's nose suddenly stung, and tears welled up in his eyes.
Great! The Marshal is back!
Allison's eyes were blurry with tears, but no matter how happy he was, he still gripped the doorknob, intending to retreat back inside and not disturb the two of them at this moment.
He had only retreated halfway when he saw the two of them suddenly squat down.
Wen Shumu suddenly felt an overwhelming weight pressing down on him, making it impossible for him to stand. He had no choice but to lean back and fall down, clinging to Alpha's back.
Ling Suyu buried her face in his shoulder, silently.
Wen Shumu panicked: "Brother, brother?!"
No response.
Wen Shumu was so frightened that tears instantly streamed down his face. When he caught a glimpse of Allison rushing out of the room, it was as if he had seen a savior.
Allison sensed something was wrong and heard his wife's voice trembling with tears: "Allison, what should we do? I kissed my brother so hard he fainted."

After so many days, the luxurious 2.8-meter bed finally welcomed another owner.
Banks, the court's chief healer, never imagined he would have to come back here again.
The black-haired Alpha lay quietly on the bed, his eyes closed.
Banks' attention, however, was focused on the Omega who was standing guard to the side.
He looked at Wen Shumu, whose face was pale, and comforted her, "Madam, it's not your fault. The Marshal was already seriously injured. When he woke up this afternoon, I told him that given his condition, it would be best if he didn't get out of bed, but he insisted on doing so."
Banksy's words of comfort not only failed to work, but actually had the opposite effect.
Upon hearing this, Wen Shumu's eyes welled up with tears, and water was still dripping from the ends of his hair, making him look exceptionally pitiful.
"He did all this to find me, he even stayed with me in the rain, and I even kissed him forcibly, sob sob sob..."
Banks: "..."
He personally felt that if the marshal wasn't willing, no one could force a kiss on him.
