Chapter 136 Zhao Yu Wants to Pursue Xu Chumian Again
Xu Chumian didn't feel better until the afternoon of that day.
She opened her eyes and saw Zhao Yu's magnified face.
Almost simultaneously, Zhao Yu also woke up.
The two locked eyes, then Xu Chumian turned her back and said, "Get lost."
Zhao Yu was already immune to Xu Chumian's words.
He pulled her into his arms, his large hand continuing to massage her lower abdomen. "Does it still hurt?"
Xu Chumian felt like she had punched cotton.
No matter what she said, Zhao Yu only wanted to hear what he wanted to hear.
As for everything else, ignore it all.
Xu Chumian kept her eyes closed and didn't speak.
Zhao Yu pursed his lips and instructed Xiao Tao to prepare the meal.
Xu Chumian's lower abdomen was still aching slightly, and it would ache whenever she got out of bed. Just like in her previous life, Xiao Tao brought the food to her bedside.
"Princess..."
Zhao Yu said calmly, "Go down first."
Xiao Tao only looked at Xu Chumian.
Xu Chumian glared at Zhao Yu: "You get out of here too."
Zhao Yu remained expressionless, took the bowl of congee from the tray, and scooped a spoonful to Xu Chumian's lips.
The two remained locked in a stalemate.
Zhao Yu pursed his lips: "It's not hot anymore."
Xu Chumian closed her eyes tightly, telling herself not to get angry.
I hope you recover soon and find a way to drive Zhao Yu out.
She reached out and took the bowl. "You all go out."
Xiao Tao had no choice but to leave.
Zhao Yu is not going to leave.
Xu Chumian ate very slowly; she only ate a small half bowl before stopping.
Zhao Yu didn't say much. The meals were kept warm in the small kitchen, so Xu Chumian could eat whenever she wanted.
Zhao Yu wiped her face and cleaned her hands as well.
Xu Chumian kept a cold face throughout.
Zhao Yu was happy to serve her, and then asked, "What else would you like to eat?"
Xu Chumian took a deep breath, said nothing, and turned over, lifting the blanket again.
With the pain subsiding, Xu Chumian began to think about kicking Zhao Yu out.
If Zhao Yu doesn't leave and stays here...
Xu Chumian thought that she would go crazy sooner or later.
Zhao Yu looked at that sullen figure with a helpless expression in his eyes.
Zhao Yu got back into bed and pulled her into his arms. He kissed her ear and whispered, "Chu Mian, all the misunderstandings are cleared up. Let's start over, okay?"
Xu Chumian's eyelashes trembled.
Soon, the next sentence was heard.
"You were able to accept Xiao Qingyan's deception back then, so why did you sentence me to death?"
"Chu Mian, this is not fair to me."
“I never thought about separating. I never agreed to divorce in my past life. We are still husband and wife.”
Xu Chumian couldn't bear to listen any longer. She turned around, stared at Zhao Yu who was completely serious and didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with him, and clenched her fist, saying, "We haven't divorced, but our relationship has broken down!"
Zhao Yu's expression froze. He pressed his fingers against Xu Chuming's chin and demanded, word by word, "Relationship broken? Xu Chuming, put your hand on your hand and say that. Aren't you ashamed?"
Xu Chumian sneered: "What? Lord Zhao still won't admit it?"
Zhao Yu sneered: "That's all baseless. Our relationship has never broken down."
Xu Chumian didn't want to say more. She closed her eyes and said, "So, I don't want to be with you anymore, okay?"
Zhao Yu pursed his lips. "So what? We didn't divorce in our past life, so we're still husband and wife now."
Xu Chumian: "You're absolutely insane."
When has Lord Zhao, who holds a high position and is high above others, ever been scolded like this?
He stumbled and fell on Xu Chumian again and again.
Zhao Yu held Xu Chumian's hand and guided it to her abdomen. A wicked smile played on his lips. "Chumian, do you remember what happened the night before last? You were the one who told me not to leave."
It would have been better if Zhao Yu hadn't mentioned it, because Xu Chuming had spent the whole night hypnotizing herself to forget it.
Now Zhao Yu has brought it up again.
Last night's events, making her blush, flashed through her mind. Xu Chumian raised her leg and kicked Zhao Yu, yelling, "Get out!"
Zhao Yu held her tightly in his arms and sighed, "So, Chu Mian, we're not divorced yet, and you still have to take responsibility for me, so we're even more inseparable now."
Fallacies, all of them fallacies!
Xu Chumian never expected that she would be entangled with Zhao Yu like this!
Xu Chumian's eyes easily redden when she gets emotional. She stared at Zhao Yu, her throat choked with sobs, unable to utter a single word.
Zhao Yu indeed kept surprising Xu Chumian.
Zhao Yu cleared his throat, avoiding looking at Xu Chuming's accusing gaze.
He gently stroked the woman's hair, saying, "Be careful not to upset yourself."
Xu Chumian sneered: "If I were to die young, it would definitely be because of you!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhao Yu lowered his eyes and stared at her without saying a word.
Xu Chumian moved her lips, then turned her back to Zhao Yu.
Zhao Yu buried his face in the crook of her shoulder and took a deep breath... Xu Chumian only felt a warm, wet patch on her neck.
She froze.
Zhao Yu's voice was hoarse, "I'm sorry, I didn't protect you well before."
Xu Chumian was not one to soften her heart; she bit her lip and remained silent.
Zhao Yu didn't care whether Xu Chumian answered or not. He continued, "In the years you were gone, I sought out many sorcerers, but you never entered my dreams even once."
"Chu Mian, I long for you to come back every moment, even if it costs me my life."
As soon as Zhao Yu finished speaking, Xu Chumian covered his lips.
She frowned: "Why are you saying these things all of a sudden?"
Zhao Yu gazed at her, his eyes deep, "Chu Mian, let me pursue you again, okay?"
Xu Chumian avoided Zhao Yu's tender and affectionate gaze, and murmured, "No need."
Zhao Yu held her hand and gently kissed the back of it.
"You can't have the final say in everything."
Whether it works or not, we have to try it first.
Once Zhao Yu makes up his mind, there's nothing he can't do.
If Xu Chumian was an accident... no, Chumian was not an accident.
Xu Chumian couldn't reason with Zhao Yu no matter what she tried. Fortunately, Zhao Yu still had to go to the Dali Temple. He had accumulated a lot of memorials in the past few days, and going back to the Dali Temple was only a last resort.
Before leaving, Zhao Yu and Xu Chumian held hands.
"Remember what I said."
"You told me not to let me go."
“What I am doing now is merely fulfilling what you said before, Chu Mian, you should keep your word.”
Zhao Yu, as expected of the top scholar chosen by His Majesty, was eloquent and left Xu Chumian speechless.
Xu Chumian finally breathed a sigh of relief after Zhao Yu left.
