Confessing love
Su Yuexing didn't know how she got back to her room; tears had already welled up in her eyes.
Why do I feel sad? She clutched her chest.
Why didn't Li Jinghe directly reject Jiang Nianrou?
Jiang Nianrou came out of the Li residence looking dejected. Why doesn't Brother Jinghe want to marry me?
She slowly clenched her fist. Could time really change his feelings for me?
After Jiang Nianrou left, Li Jinghe sat on a stool and pondered. Over the past few days, he had gradually come to understand his own heart.
In truth, his heart had already changed without him realizing it, especially when he heard that Su Yuexing had someone she liked, he felt a surge of intense jealousy.
He was jealous that the other person could still occupy her heart even when he wasn't by her side.
These days, Jiang Nianrou has been going to the Li residence, but she was turned away by Li Jinghe, so she came to Su Yuexing's place.
She carried a food box in her hand, and took out a bowl of lotus seed soup from it. "Madam Li, please try the lotus seed soup I made today."
Su Yuexing picked it up, held it to her nose, and smelled it, saying, "It has a faint sweet scent."
Jiang Nianrou smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment. Brother Jinghe used to love my lotus seed soup the most."
Su Yuexing's eyes flashed, and she said, "So I'm lucky to be able to taste such delicious food because of him."
“No, no, Madam Li prepared this especially for you,” she said.
Su Yuexing discreetly examined the food box; there was only this one bowl inside, which must have been prepared specifically for Li Jinghe.
For some reason, he didn't accept it, so Jiang Nianrou turned around and gave it to her.
Adhering to the principle of not wasting anything, Su Yuexing finished the lotus seed soup in her bowl.
Jiang Nianrou talked to her for a long time. "You know what?"
“When I was little, I went to play with my older brother Jinghe. He was reading a book while I was sleeping.”
"He pinched my nose to wake me up for dinner, which made me wake up by suffocating myself." She then burst into laughter.
Su Yuexing felt this scene was very familiar. A few days ago, he seemed to have done the same thing to her.
Looking at her expressionless face, Jiang Nianrou asked the question she had wanted to ask for a long time: "Madam Li, do you like Jinghe?"
Su Yuexing was slightly taken aback, then shook her head and said, "I don't like it."
Jiang Nianrou's face lit up with joy, and she quickly said, "Since you don't like it, then you can ask Brother Jinghe to divorce you!"
Su Yuexing's eyes flickered, and she smiled faintly, "You've reminded me of something."
Jiang Nianrou said impatiently, "So Madam Li is going to ask Brother Jinghe for a letter of divorce!"
Su Yuexing nodded and said, "That's a plan."
After Jiang Nianrou left, Su Yuexing went to Li Jinghe's room.
Seeing her arrive, Li Jinghe was very happy and said, "You've come."
Seeing that his complexion was rosier than before, Su Yuexing asked, "How are you feeling?"
Li Jinghe replied, "It's much better."
She nodded and said, "I've come to get something."
"What is it?" he asked, frowning.
"Letter of Divorce".
Li Jinghe was startled. "Why did you suddenly bring that up out of nowhere?"
Su Yuexing raised an eyebrow and said, "You promised to give it to me."
He took a deep breath and said, "It's because of the person in your heart that you've always wanted to leave me and be with him."
Su Yuexing shook her head and said, "No, I simply want to escape the control of fate."
Li Jinghe clenched his fist and slammed it on the table. "What exactly is this so-called destiny you're talking about?"
Su Yuexing was silent for a moment before saying, "You've said so much, but you just don't want to give me a divorce letter."
Tell me your reasons, why are you unwilling to give them?
Li Jinghe looked at her seriously and said, "The reason is simple: I don't want you to leave."
"Why won't you let me leave?" She was stunned as soon as she said it, and the answer slowly emerged in her mind.
“Because I want you to be my wife!” Li Jinghe replied earnestly.
Su Yuexing shook her head in disbelief and said, "Don't you like Jiang Nianrou?"
Li Jinghe frowned and explained, "My relationship with her is over."
"I only want to spend the rest of my life with you."
All Su Yuexing could think about were the words he had said: "I only want to spend the rest of my life with you."
She came to her senses and said, "We can talk about the divorce papers later. It's getting late, I should go back." She then hurriedly fled.
After she left, Li Jinghe's tension gradually subsided. He was both looking forward to and afraid of getting Su Yuexing's reply.
Her escape, however, gave the two of them a good opportunity to reconcile.
Jiang Nianrou returned to her residence, where Ye Huaijin had been waiting for her in her room for a long time. "You're back."
"Mmm," she replied with a smile.
She was clearly in a good mood. "I had a very pleasant visit to the Li residence today," he said.
“Yes,” she said with a smile.
Ye Huaijin asked, "Does he agree to marry you?"
Jiang Nianrou looked at him and said, "Not yet, but soon."
He frowned and said, "Nianrou, I don't understand why he's always on your mind!"
"You've been married to me for so long, don't you have any feelings for me at all?"
Jiang Nianrou looked at her seriously and said, "No!"
"My marriage to you is only necessary for my family!"
Ye Huaijin retorted defiantly, "What do I lack compared to him? I even gave you a letter of divorce! Why don't you consider me?"
Jiang Nianrou lowered her eyes and said, "Some things cannot be forced."
He took a deep breath, pursed his lips, and said, "I'll return to the capital first thing tomorrow morning."
"Come back with me."
The plan has reached a crucial step. As long as Li Jinghe gives Su Yuexing a letter of divorce, I can get back together with Li Jinghe.
I absolutely cannot leave!
She refused, saying, "No! I'm not going back!"
Ye Huaijin said, "You can disregard me, but you have to consider your family."
"I'll be by your side, protecting you."
Jiang Nianrou said, "I don't need you to protect me."
Ye Huaijin sighed and said, "Nianrou! Stop making a scene! Come back with me!"
She firmly stated, "I said! I'm not going back!"
Seeing that gentle persuasion was ineffective, Ye Huaijin had no choice but to resort to force, catching her off guard and striking her on the neck.
Jiang Nianrou's vision went black as she collapsed into his arms.
"Nianrou, don't blame me, I had no choice." He said softly, looking at her.
The next day, Ye Huaijin led his troops away from Pingchun County and back to the capital.
Sai Taxue stepped out of the Li residence's gate, glanced back at the gate behind her, and smiled slightly. "Li Jinghe, we'll see each other again soon!"
Ever since Li Jinghe said those things to Su Yuexing, she has been restless these past few days. Whenever she sits down, she recalls what Li Jinghe said.
I don't know how I should treat Li Jinghe.
More than a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and the weather is gradually getting cooler.
Since Su Yuexing slapped Su Yuewei, the two have never seen each other again.
Today is Master Li's birthday banquet, and Su Yuexing was invited to dinner tonight.
Su Yuewei and Li Zhi were sitting upstairs. Su Yuexing looked over and noticed that her face was much rounder than before.
Her behavior and demeanor have also changed significantly, giving her an air of nobility.
"Yuexing is here, please have a seat," Li Zhi instructed.
"Yes," Su Yuexing replied calmly.
On the other side, Zhou Yong smiled and waved wildly at her.
"Little sister Xing'er! Sit with me!" He pointed to the seat next to him.
Li Wanxi gave them a cold glare, displeased. "Quiet!"
Zhou Yong was so frightened that he dared not move for a moment, only daring to steal glances at Su Yuexing, hoping that she would sit down next to him again.
Su Yuexing recalled that when he went to see Sai Taxue alone, he asked Li Jinghe for help because he was worried about his safety.
Judging from this incident, Su Yuexing's opinion of him changed considerably. She smiled slightly at him and then sat down in the seat closest to her.
When Zhou Yong saw her smiling at him, he was already shy and covered his face, too embarrassed to look at her.
When Li Jinghe came in from outside and saw this scene, he frowned. Even after becoming a eunuch, he was still so restless.
He sat next to Su Yuexing, blocking Zhou Yong's view so that he couldn't see Su Yuexing.
Su Yuexing saw him suddenly sit down next to her, and a hint of panic flashed in her eyes.
Li Jinghe noticed a hint of panic in her eyes, leaned closer to her ear and whispered, "What's the panic?"
"Is it because I saw you exchanging glances with a eunuch that you feel guilty?"
"You!" Su Yuexing met his gaze, momentarily at a loss for words.
Seeing that she couldn't speak, Li Jinghe felt a strange sense of pleasure. "What do you mean, 'you'?"
He grabbed her hand and continued, "You are my wife! I will not allow you to flirt with other men."
"Even if he's a eunuch, it's still unacceptable!"
Su Yuexing turned her head away from him, trying to pull her hand back, but found it was being held tightly.
All of this was observed by Su Yuewei, who was standing above. Her eyes were filled with jealousy, and when she glanced at the old and fat Li Zhi beside her, she felt nauseous.
Why does the older sister possess both a beautiful appearance and the wealth of the Li family?
Her hand slowly clenched into a fist. What right did she have?
Su Yuexing looked up and saw Su Yuewei looking at her.
Their eyes lingered in the air for a few seconds before Su Yuewei looked away, smiling as she raised her glass to toast Li Zhi.
"Sir, I toast you, wishing you boundless happiness and longevity."
Li Zhi, his eyes glazed over, touched her and said, "Weiwei's mouth is still the sweetest." He then reached out to kiss her red lips.
Su Yuewei reached out and covered his mouth, suppressing her disgust, and said with a shy expression, "Master, there are so many people watching here!"
Su Yuexing couldn't stand it any longer, so she stood up abruptly, turned around, and left.
Li Jinghe also had a dark expression, his eyes coldly fixed on the two above him.
Li Wanxi covered her mouth with a handkerchief, her eyes darting between the father and son, a look of schadenfreude on her face.
Seeing Su Yuexing leave, Zhou Yong wanted to get up and chase after her, but Li Wanxi immediately shouted, "Stop!"
Zhou Yong lowered his head and said weakly, "I just want to go to the toilet."
Li Wanxi snorted coldly, "Don't think I don't know you used the excuse of going to the toilet to go see that woman!"
Zhou Yong obediently sat down, not daring to say another word.
