Chapter 66 Nian An was furious. How could the Regent do this!

Yan Jue nodded. "That was a rather abrupt question. It's getting late. I'll instruct the kitchen to bring lunch over."

Wen Xicha blushed and nodded beside her. If you looked closely, you could see tiny sparkles in her eyes.

Yan Jue really went all out today, with lunch including braised lion's head meatballs, sweet and sour pork, tender tofu and fish soup, braised shark fin, shredded chicken, and grilled shrimp, among other things.

Looking at the table full of food, Wen Xicha was somewhat surprised. "Brother Yan, can the two of us really finish all this?"

Yan Jue waved his hand, "Don't worry, if we can't finish it, there are other ways to dispose of the food."

Yan Jue's words were like a heavy stone, making Wenxi Tea feel very substantial.

She nodded. "Okay, Brother Yan, what kind of dishes do you like to eat?"

Yan Jue was taken aback, then replied, "I'm the same as you, I'm not picky."

Wen Xicha blushed upon hearing this. "Help! Why is Brother Yan so charming when he speaks?"

"Brother Yan, I really envy your current princess. You are so wonderful. I feel that Miss Shen must be very happy."

Yan Jue raised an eyebrow slightly upon hearing this. Was Shen Pingjin very happy?

But it does seem true; she is very happy because she is carefree.

Yan Jue shook his head. "Today, I am the one who invited you to dine at my residence. You don't need to talk about anyone. Besides... I am such a good-for-nothing, only you wouldn't look down on me and would even speak well of me."

Wen Xicha was taken aback. "Brother Yan, does Miss Shen think you're incompetent?"

Yan Jue's gaze was deep. "I cannot fathom what she is thinking."

"But……"

Wen Xicha's impression of Shen Pingjin plummeted. She never imagined that someone could be so displeased with a good man like Yan Jue.

Yan Jue waved his hand, "Xiao Cha, there's no need to talk about her. After all, the person she originally liked was the brilliant and talented Crown Prince. I have a bad reputation and am a useless and incompetent person, so how could she like me? My marriage to her was an accident. Since it was an accident, it's normal that she doesn't care."

Hearing this, Wen Xicha felt so sorry for Yan Jue. "Brother Yan, don't belittle yourself like that. You're such a good person. If Miss Shen really doesn't like you, you might as well get a divorce. Anyway, she doesn't like you, so she probably won't care about the divorce at all!"

Yan Jue sighed helplessly, "But that day in the palace, when the emperor asked her if she regretted marrying me, she firmly said in front of everyone that she did not regret it."

Wenxi Tea was stunned, "This..."

"So even though I have no feelings for her, she has already said to the Emperor that she has no regrets. So from that moment on, we are bound together. If she doesn't ask for a divorce, we may never be able to get one in this lifetime."

Wenxi Tea was stunned upon hearing this.

She never expected that Shen Pingjin had truly fallen in love with someone else, and that he hadn't even considered breaking off the engagement in front of the Emperor.

“But didn’t Miss Shen fall deeply in love with His Highness the Crown Prince before? I really can’t understand why she didn’t cherish the opportunity that was right in front of her.”

Yan Jue added, "I can't fathom what she's thinking either, but now that the situation is settled, I feel that life is no different from before."

Wen Xicha's heart sank instantly. "Brother Yan, haven't you ever thought that if you and Miss Shen were to divorce one day, would you consider marrying another woman?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Jue opened his eyes and said calmly, "Yes."

Although Yan Jue only said one sentence, it stirred up a huge wave in Wen Xicha's heart.

Wen Xicha thought, does that mean she still has a chance?

Just then, a rustling sound came from outside the window.

However, the sound was so faint that neither of the two people inside the house noticed it.

Nian'an was eavesdropping outside and was furious!

She was just passing by the study to get some porcelain bowls from the kitchen, but who knew she would overhear this explosive conversation!

She was so respectful to the Regent, and she even thought he treated her queen very well. It turns out that all of this was just her delusion!

Indeed, it's true that people outside say the Regent is a womanizer!

Nian'an was furious and she was determined to tell her princess about these things!

Shen Pingjin was still in the courtyard, lying on a wooden chair basking in the sun, completely unaware that Nian An's anger had reached a volcanic eruption in the short time it took her to go to the kitchen.

Shen Pingjin and Li Qin'er were still exchanging letters. Young Master Qin asked her if she was bored staying in the courtyard. Shen Pingjin felt that she was a little bored. Unexpectedly, Young Master Qin sent another letter not long after she finished speaking.

The letter described the process of making barbecue, the tools used, and the dipping sauce and ingredients. Although Shen Pingjin didn't understand what barbecue was, she had a general idea that it was something to eat.

Shen Pingjin skewered all the prepared meat onto wooden skewers, and then instructed Nian Ning to fetch bricks from the mansion to build a frame. She looked at the diagram on the envelope and imitated it in a very convincing way.

Seeing Nian'an approaching, Shen Pingjin quickly called out, "Nian'an, come and help."

But to everyone's surprise, Nian'an looked sullen. Chen Pingjin was somewhat taken aback when she saw this.

"Nian'an, have you been bullied?"

Shen Pingjin frowned as she looked at Nian An walking towards her. Nian An had barely reached Shen Pingjin when she complained:

"Your Highness, didn't you just tell me to go to the kitchen to get a porcelain bowl? Guess what I heard when I passed by the study?"

Shen Pingjin knew that the study was where Yan Jue stayed, so she asked, "What did you hear?"

Nian'an said angrily, "Your Highness, if you ask me, why don't you find a time to divorce His Highness? I saw him having dinner with that Miss Wen again."

"They were talking about what they liked and disliked, about divorce and divorce, but the most important thing was that I heard His Highness say that if he divorced you in the future, he would go to find other women. Moreover, he said that it was because you said in front of the Emperor that you didn't regret it that the two of you are now tied together."

Shen Pingjin listened patiently as Nian An finished speaking, and she roughly understood the ins and outs of the matter.

Is Yan Jue blaming himself for the agreement he made with her back then?

She did care a little about Yan Jue's womanizing ways at first, but later she realized that whether Yan Jue was a womanizer or not was his business, and she only needed to take care of herself.
