Chapter 173 Two Hearts Closer
Her delicate hand gently brushed against the soft, cool fabric, subtly outlining its shape.
Yu Nian's heart pounded twice, and she pulled her hand back from Chunyu Han's as if she had been stung.
Chunyu Han's empty palm still held Yu Nian's warmth, and he subconsciously pulled her closer.
She must have been terrified...
“You…it…this…I…”
Yu Nian was usually eloquent, but at this moment her tongue seemed to be tied in knots, and her mind went blank for a long time. She couldn't utter a single complete sentence after speaking for a long time.
This scoundrel was actually a fake eunuch; he was the most deceitful one, fooled by everyone in the Great Zhao Dynasty…
Yu Nian even recalled that a few days ago, when Chunyu Han taught her archery in his spare time, she always felt something poking her from behind, but Chunyu Han told her it was a sachet.
Looking back now, it turns out that it was...
It was shocking. If Chunyu Han had given her this information a month earlier, Yu Nian would have suspected that she was about to embark on her journey to the underworld.
If this gets out, the whole family will be sent to the guillotine.
Just now, in order to protect that non-existent treasure, Yu Nian even threw a tantrum in the street. Just thinking about it makes her furious.
"Um, could you let go of me first? I need to catch my breath..."
Yu Nian finally regained her voice, and she needed to process this. Besides, Chunyu Han had told her such a big secret, so perhaps she should be more honest with him too.
Chunyu Han's arms were wrapped tightly around Yu Nian, as if he wanted to meld her into his very bones.
"Are you unhappy?"
When Yu Nian learned that Chunyu Han's baby was still alive, she was shocked, speechless, flustered, and slightly annoyed... a mix of emotions swirled and changed, but she was definitely not happy.
Does Chunyu Han think she should be happy right now?
"I just..."
She was pressed so tightly against the door that her back ached from the pressure.
Chunyu Han rested his chin on Yu Nian's shoulder. She couldn't see his expression, but she could hear that his voice was somewhat muffled.
"Don't worry, I haven't touched you. I only used a blood pack to scare you on our wedding night. If you're scared, just take the divorce papers and leave... You only have this one chance today."
He couldn't bear to see Yu Nian shoulder these heavy burdens with him. He bit his lower lip until it bled, and the taste of blood filled the air. Only he knew how he had forced himself to say those words.
Chunyu Han was like a withered leaf fluttering on the osmanthus tree outside the door; once the strong wind passed, he had nowhere to stay.
He was reluctant to let her go, and even more reluctant to see her unhappy; he loved seeing her smile the most...
Yu Nian's movements stiffened slightly. For the first time, she sensed the emotions deep within Chunyu Han's heart: vulnerability and unease.
These words would never have been used to describe Chunyu Han.
Yu Nian raised her hand to hug him back, gently stroking his back.
"That's not what I meant. It's just a bit sudden. I won't leave you. Don't you remember? I feel terrible if I don't see you for a day."
"I'm not going anywhere, and I can't go anywhere else anyway. Even if I die, I'll die with you."
They had shared life and death, and their hearts were already tightly bound together.
Yu Nian gently coaxed him, her words were straightforward, not wanting him to misunderstand.
You mustn't lie to me.
The withered leaves that were fluttering in the wind were picked off and treasured in the palm of someone's hand.
Feeling the tense back under her hand slowly relax, Yu Nian pinched the slender waist.
"If my husband strangles me to death today, then I will not be able to keep my promise."
Chunyu Han loosened his grip; he had been too tense just now.
Did I hurt you?
Chunyu Han raised his head, and Yu Nian looked up and saw the bright red bloodstains on his lips, which looked just like blooming roses.
My heart ached.
Standing on tiptoe, Yu Nian tilted her head back and sucked on the delicate rose.
"Don't hurt yourself anymore."
The tenderness was boundless, and the affection was beyond words; what drew them closer was their hearts.
The two went from the doorway to the couch.
The scent of roses lingered on Yu Nian's lips.
"Is this your secret?"
Chunyu Han paused slightly, then pulled the person into his arms.
Yes, but not entirely.
"Then I'll tell you half of it too."
Yu Nian and Chunyu Han had made a promise to share their secrets.
"I am actually from another world. My name is also Yu Nian, but I am not the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's family. I am just an ordinary person."
Yu Nian thought Chunyu Han's reaction should also be one of surprise, but to her surprise, the person who was close to her only remained silent for a short while before giving a very calm "hmm".
The calmness was so profound that Yu Nian felt as if what she had said wasn't even a secret anymore.
Seeing that Yu Nian was somewhat discouraged, Chunyu Han chuckled and nibbled on her small, fair earlobe.
"It doesn't matter who you are, I know who I like."
One sentence made Yu Nian's nose tingle with emotion.
Not wanting to be so pathetic as to shed tears, Yu Nian changed the subject, which was also something she was curious about: how Chunyu Han had managed to protect his precious child all these years.
"I have a brilliant plan."
Chunyu Han was unwilling to say much about this matter. In fact, he was all alone back then and didn't care about this anymore. He only wanted revenge. But by chance, he found an opportunity and thought that his body and hair were given to him by his parents, so he stayed.
Looking back now, I'm glad I stayed.
When Chunyu Han told Yu Nian that he sometimes took some herbal medicine to suppress his emotions.
Yu Nian blinked her peach blossom eyes, which were full of doubt. Everyone says that medicine is three parts poison.
"What if it doesn't work?"
Yu Nian swore that she was really only worried about Chunyu Han's health. When she met Chunyu Han's deep and angry eyes, she belatedly realized that she should have kept those words to herself.
"Perhaps Niannian can try it herself and see if it works?"
Yu Nian timidly shrank her neck, wanting to bury herself in Chunyu Han's arms.
Chunyu Han said he didn't touch her during their wedding night, so she's still a...
Granny Wang said that the first time was very painful!
Yu Nian thought she had passed that hurdle, but she didn't expect that she had only gone around in circles at the door of that hurdle.
"Um, my husband, I..."
The door creaked twice, and Chun Tao's voice came from outside.
"Miss! Haiyan has sent over his two adopted sons. Where do you plan to settle them?"
Yu Nian instantly felt that Chun Tao's voice today was like heavenly music.
"Let them eat first, I'll be right there."
Yu Nian tried to run away, but Chunyu Han pulled her back, staring intently at her.
"Where did you get this adopted son from?!"
“It’s your adopted son. I saw him when I went to the animal park to deliver the frost today, so I brought him back. I’ll go take a look at him first.”
Yu Nian smiled and nimbly slipped off the couch.
Chunyu Han's face was as black as ink. He had been so busy lately that he had forgotten he had two adopted sons...
He had Yu Nian send away a small troublesome child, but she turned around and brought back two big ones.
