Chapter 137: Exam results released
Zhou Ran fell into a drowsy state under such slight fear, but just as she was about to fall asleep, she heard Ye Ximing sigh softly in her ear and said, "You don't understand why I'm angry at all."

Zhou Ran's sleepiness immediately disappeared after hearing this, but she did not move.

Ye Ximing's faint voice sounded again, "Aran, I'm angry because you don't regard me as your husband-in-law at all, and I don't exist in your heart at all."

Zhou Ran moved in Ye Ximing's arms and wanted to look up at Ye Ximing, but Ye Ximing held her head and did not let go. He didn't want Zhou Ran to see the expression on his face at this moment.

Zhou Ran struggled a bit and saw that Ye Ximing had no intention of letting go. She simply continued to bury her head in Ye Ximing's chest and said dullly: "No."

She was an orphan in her last life and had no one close to her. She longed for someone to accompany her, but she was also used to being on guard.

Even now she can't completely believe her feelings for Ye Ximing, but she is sure that she has Ye Ximing in her heart now. If possible, she hopes that the two of them can go through this life together.

Ye Ximing said nothing.

After Zhou Ran was silent for a moment, she said again: "Ye Ximing, believe me, I like you."

"Like me?" Ye Ximing sneered, "If you liked me, would you easily say divorce? Would you want to leave without having children?"

Zhou Ran felt a little guilty when she heard this, and she explained calmly: "I didn't want to leave on my own initiative. I have been trying to survive and stay, but some things are beyond my control, and I don't know if my efforts can make a difference." "I don't know how long it will take for these things to come to fruition. I thought you were anxious to have children, so you would divorce."

Ye Ximing frowned when he heard this. Could it be that Zhou Ran's words meant that if she left one day, she would die, instead of leaving him as he thought.

But Mr. Fei said that Zhou Ran was in good health and had no symptoms. So why was Zhou Ran worried that she would die?

Could it be related to her secret? He has always known that Zhou Ran has a secret, but before Zhou Ran didn't tell him, he pretended not to know and never asked. But if the secret was related to Zhou Ran's life, he couldn't pretend I no longer know.

"Aran, can you tell me your secret?" Ye Ximing said.

Zhou Ran's heart skipped a beat, "What secret?"

"Aran, who taught you embroidery?"

"I...I taught myself from the books."

"Where did that book come from?"

"I...I got it by accident."

Ye Ximing stared at Zhou Ran for a long time, sighed, and gave up, "Forget it."

Zhou Ran breathed a sigh of relief. She would never tell anyone about the system and time travel, not even Ye Ximing.

Unexpectedly, she was only half relieved when she heard Ye Ximing say again: "If you don't want to tell me, I don't have to ask, but you must tell me how to prevent you from leaving."

Seeing Zhou Ran's silence, Ye Ximing was a little frustrated, "Aran, I just want to help you."

A moment later, just when Ye Ximing thought Zhou Ran wouldn't speak, Zhou Ran said, "Actually... I don't know. Maybe I will know when I open Liuguang Pavilion all over Dashun Dynasty."

"Okay, I understand." Ye Ximing hugged Zhou Ran and said, "I'll help you."

Zhou Ran blinked her sour eyes and said in a low voice: "Thank you, Ye Ximing, thank you."

Ye Ximing hugged the person in his arms tighter and said: "Aran, remember, I am your husband-in-law. You can rely on me. I will always help you, and you never have to say thank you to me."

"Ye Ximing, you are so kind." Ye Ximing couldn't help but snorted coldly and said, "I really think I'm kind. Don't say anything about reconciliation to me in the future."

Zhou Ran paused while grabbing Ye Ximing's hand that was playing with his clothes.

Ye Ximing didn't seem to notice, and continued: "Aran, even if I want a child, I only want a child with you. If you don't want to have a child, then we don't want it."

Anyway, he now has three nephews, and his eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law are still pregnant with them. The Ye family is not short of children.

Zhou Ran sniffed and said, "Ye Ximing, I'm sorry, I won't do it again."

She doesn't want to give up such a good husband to anyone else. In the future, she will work harder to complete the system's tasks and strive to break free from the shackles of the system's health as soon as possible.

The next morning, when Wei Yan saw Zhou Ran and Ye Ximing, he observed the two of them without any trace, and saw that the relationship between the two had returned to the previous state, even better than before.

Apparently, he was right not to be too busy last night.

Ye Ximing remembered what Zhou Ran told him, went to the study after breakfast, and wrote a letter to Qian's boss in Yongxing Mansion.

Zhou Ran went to study Sanyi embroidery with Da Niu again. In fact, they had almost completed the study of Sanyi embroidery during this period. Zhou Ran planned to officially embroider double-sided Sanyi embroidery with Da Niu in the next two days.

Zhou Ran was immersed in embroidering double-sided heterochromatic embroidery every day and didn't notice the passage of time at all.

Soon, it will be March 15th, when the test results will be released.

Only then did Zhou Ran put down the needle and thread in her hands and went out with Ye Ximing and others to look at the rankings.

The previous rumors about leaking the title did not seem to have any impact, and a large number of candidates still gathered at the place where the rankings were released, waiting for them to be released.

Soon, the list was posted.

There were too many people. Zhou Ran and Ye Ximing stood relatively far back and were not in a hurry to push forward.

Someone among the people watching the list in front quickly cheered, "I won, sir, I won."

Some people cried out in disbelief, "I didn't win. How is that possible? How could I not win? Why am I not on the list?"

"Can anyone help me see if I've been hit?" someone shouted in the crowd.

Another person said: "Who is Huiyuan? Come and see who Huiyuan is."

This statement was echoed by many people. In addition to being concerned about their own lack of success, they were most concerned about Huiyuan.

"Huiyuan, let me take a look." Someone squeezed to the front of the list and shouted: "Huiyuan is Lin Yao."

After hearing this, Zhou Ran turned her head and glanced at Ye Ximing beside her with some worry.

Ye Ximing was a little disappointed at first, but after noticing Zhou Ran's eyes, he smiled at Zhou Ran and said, "I'm fine, but I didn't get the Huiyuan. Do you feel disappointed?"

Zhou Ran shook her head quickly, "How is that possible? You are already very good. The imperial examination is so difficult. Many people can't even pass the examination after studying all their lives."

While the two were talking, a group of people below the list were already talking about it.
