Chapter 192 Mutual Understanding

"We became husband and wife, and our love will never waver."

Joy fills this evening, a time of tender beauty and perfect timing.

Shen Pingjin couldn't believe it, this was...

Suddenly, her eyes filled with tears. The man behind her was hot and burning, but it couldn't compare to the chilling wind and the icy snow that day that left such a deep impression.

"Yan Jue, you..."

Yan Jue raised an eyebrow and said, "Shen Pingjin, my feelings for you are just like this poem."

The man's eyes were as black as a Kyoto night, and his voice was as melodious as a babbling brook.

Shen Pingjin wanted to speak, but found that the words wouldn't come out no matter what she said.

The burning hot hands then climbed onto her shoulders.

Yan Jue whispered in the woman's ear, "Chen Pingjin, do you know that I have long admired you?"

A strange, indescribable emotion welled up inside her, and Shen Pingjin suddenly felt a dryness in her throat, and tears welled up in her eyes.

She really wanted to tell the man in front of her, "Actually, I know all of this."

But then Shen Pingjin thought, how could anyone believe that she was reborn?

She could only nod at Yan Jue's eyes to indicate that she understood.

"I actually regret it very much."

When she heard the man behind her say those words, Shen Pingjin could clearly feel the pressure he was applying to her shoulders gradually increasing.

Feeling a sudden unease, Shen Pingjin asked, "Yan Jue, what are you regretting?"

Unexpectedly, Yan Jue actually answered.

"I regret it. I regret why I didn't stay by your side that day, but instead chose to flee in panic."

Shen Pingjin was shocked: "That day?"

Yan Jue's gaze was dark and unfathomable. "It was that day when you attended the Spring Banquet, wearing a peach-colored dress, standing by the lotus pond in the crowd, when you were unexpectedly pushed into the water."

"You were rescued, and afterwards you fell in love with Su Xuanmao."

"I initially thought you were attracted to the Crown Prince's looks and power, but I later discovered that you had simply mistaken the identity of the person who saved you."

A long, slender hand with distinct knuckles held a long hairpin and gently threaded it through her dark hair, creating a bun.

"Back then, you weren't even a teenager, so it's perfectly normal for you to be so infatuated with Su Xuanmao. I felt nothing but hatred, but seeing the two of you so intimately connected..."

As Yan Jue said this, he felt a surge of excitement in his heart: "If it weren't for this, I would gladly take it by force!"

Chen Pingjin's mind had already gone blank.

She looked completely incredulous.

It felt like a taut string in my heart snapped with a "snap".

Yan Jue, Yan Jue already liked me at this point?

Was it not a coincidence that he saved me, or was he actually watching me the whole time?

When Shen Pingjin guessed this idea, she felt her heart pound with fear.

So, doesn't that mean...?

Her benefactor was Yan Jue, and the person she loved should also be Yan Jue. And Yan Jue, coincidentally, loved her too. It was all because she opened her eyes and saw Su Xuanmao that she...

Is there a mistake?

Her eyes seemed to be filled with endless bitterness, and all Shen Pingjin wanted to do was cry out loud.

If she had simply asked Su Xuanmao herself back then, she and Su Xuanmao would have had no connection whatsoever.

So she was wrong about everything.

She was a joke from beginning to end.

Shen Pingjin suddenly felt very fortunate, fortunate that she had not repeated the same mistake in her life.

When Yan Jue heard the woman crying, he panicked.

He wanted to ask Shen Pingjin what her feelings for him were.

But all of this came to an abrupt end because of the woman's sobbing.

He reached out to grasp the woman's shoulder, but found that she suddenly stood up from her chair.

A pair of eyes, as bright as stars, stared at me as if trying to draw me in.

“Chen Pingjin, you…”

Just as Yan Jue was about to speak, he suddenly felt a dark shadow flash before his eyes, and then an overwhelming fragrance surrounded him.

His pupils widened suddenly, and the warm touch on his lips seemed to be no joke.

All the questions were stuck in his throat, and Yan Jue couldn't say a word.

At that moment, he felt like his head had gone blank.

Yes, that's right, it's a blue screen!

This was the first time Shen Pingjin had taken the initiative. She didn't close her eyes, but instead scrutinized the man's features.

It was him, it was him who saved her. The one who appeared when she felt like she was falling into darkness and about to suffocate in her past life, it was him, it was Yan Jue.

Tears streamed down like a burst dam, the moist, astringent taste seeping into the taste buds along the lips, filling the mouth with a bitter aftertaste.

After an unknown amount of time, Shen Pingjin slowly took a step back and looked at the man in front of her.

Then she reached out and hugged him tightly.

"Chen Pingjin, what's wrong with you...?"

Yan Jue opened his mouth again, but was silenced by a slender, jade-like finger.

Shen Pingjin leaned against Yan Jue and said, "Yan Jue, I'm fine. Actually... I also have feelings for you."

I fell in love with you the moment you saved me in my past life.

You are the light that suddenly appeared when I fell to the bottom of the lake, plunged into darkness, and thought I was in despair.

It was a touch of warmth that appeared when I felt chilly and my bones shivered in the biting spring wind.

If I had known it was you earlier, I wouldn't have made the same mistake again.

The woman's sudden confession caught Yan Jue off guard, and his eyes widened in surprise.

"Chen Pingjin, what did you say?"

Shock overwhelmed Yan Jue, who asked again.

Shen Pingjin showed no impatience, but stared into the man's eyes and said, word by word, "Yan Jue, I'm telling you, I also love you."

After confirming that he hadn't misheard, Yan Jue felt enveloped in immense joy, a feeling that seemed to send him soaring into the sky.

It turns out that the two of them had been in love all along...

Everything that happened before...

Yan Jue shook his head. It was all his indecisiveness that caused the two of them to drag things out like this.

It's all because he had too many concerns.

He shouldn't have been so worried.

If it weren't so deep, they might have already been deeply in love and trusting each other.

Chen Pingjin thought the same thing.

If she didn't carry the hatred and memories of her past life in her heart, perhaps she wouldn't have cared so much and lingered on this relationship.

Thinking about this, Shen Pingjin felt that she was really annoying.

Shen Pingjin blushed as she felt the man's large hand encircle her waist. She then obediently nestled against him, feeling the warmth emanating from his body.

"Yan Jue, I won't miss you this time."

Yan Jue thought Shen Pingjin was blaming herself, so he shook his head and said, "It's all my fault. You don't need to say such things."
