Chapter 68 Chun Ri Chi Why do you always feel that I won’t choose you? ...
"You know?"
Jiang Yunjin's voice dropped to a low, dry note, a hint of surprise etched across his face. Cui Yiluo's sneer deepened, but she sneered without saying anything.
Jiang Yunjin reacted instantly. Only that one time.
It was also in Qingchi Lane. Because the medicine had to be taken in the morning, he tossed and turned until dawn that night, and then he had to ask Wen Feng to get the medicine from Jiang Mansion.
She had seen it then. He knew she was intelligent. Although he hadn't revealed the substance during their conversation with Wen Feng, it wasn't hard for her to figure out he was taking contraceptive pills after a little investigation.
No wonder she'd been so eager to cling to him the night before on his birthday, yet so distant afterward, as if separated by an impenetrable fog. It turned out that her lingering anger and indifference toward him stemmed from this.
So, maybe she is not tired of him. Is he still worth playing with for her?
Cui Yiluo saw Jiang Yunjin pursed his lips and remained silent for a few moments, and suddenly his eyes were reflected by the tiny light coming in through the window.
"It's not that I don't want to have children with you."
His gaze fixed on her. Cui Yiluo was stunned for a moment, then sneered again, saying meaningfully, "How could my husband possibly think that?"
Jiang Yunjin keenly sensed the hidden meaning in her words. Before he could ask further questions, he saw her lower her eyes to look at the fingertips resting on his heart and continued, "In my husband's eyes, am I not just a pawn to help you and the Second Prince achieve your goals?"
Her tone was calm, as if she was just talking about something ordinary, and even her expression was calm.
Jiang Yunjin's breathing suddenly stopped.
The next moment, the fingertips that were lingering on his heart were suddenly grabbed, and her hand was also held in his palm. Cui Yiluo slowly raised her eyes to look at him, and her eyes met his dark and surging eyes.
"So you just don't trust me."
The corners of his lips curled up slightly in self-mockery, and the light in his eyes was shattered.
Cui Yiluo scoffed and tried to pull her hand out of his grasp, but the moment she moved, he tightened his grip. The more she struggled, the tighter his grip tightened, and the long arm across her waist tightened, keeping her pressed against him. His jaw tensed, their hands thrashing until they were white with effort. One, with red and purple marks on the back of her hand, struggled to break free, while the other's slender fingers held on tightly, refusing to let go even a little.
Cui Yiluo was held tightly, unable to break free. She was so angry that she gave up all her strength and put her other hand on his chest in anger.
"Why should I believe you?"
At first, he asked her to believe him, and she really believed him, but what happened later? Cui Yiluo couldn't even break free at this moment. She felt angry and depressed, and her beautiful eyes were red with anger.
She lost her strength, and Jiang Yunjin took advantage of the situation and hugged her tightly in his arms. He said in a calm voice, each word clearly: "I have never treated you as a pawn, not even at the beginning."
As Cui Yiluo's mind drifted away for a moment, her eyes soon filled with sharp sarcasm. She tried her best to maintain a calm voice, "That night outside the study, I heard you ask the Second Prince why he was so reckless and disregarded the great cause."
Jiang Yunjin's expression suddenly changed.
Seeing him in such a state, Cui Yiluo became more certain that he was unaware that she had heard the truth, which was why he continued to defend himself after she had revealed everything.
"You still want to..."
Jiang Yunjin looked up at her and slowly interrupted: "Why didn't you listen that night?"
Cui Yiluo was startled, and only heard him continue:
"If you had listened that night, you would have known that I never intended to use you." He paused, as if considering how to start. "After that night, I no longer assisted the Second Prince."
Cui Yiluo's expression instantly turned into astonishment. After a few breaths, she heard herself whisper, "Why?"
He held her somewhat cold hand in his palm and looked at her with complicated eyes: "Why do you always feel that I won't choose you?"
Cui Yiluo lay in his arms, forgetting even to struggle, and listened to him speak slowly.
"The reason I no longer assist him is simple. He's after his power, and I'm for you. Ah Luo, he attacked you. How could I possibly assist him again?"
His tone was light, but his words were as heavy as a thousand pounds, pressing down on Cui Yiluo like a tidal wave, making her breathless and her mind blank.
Cui Yiluo looked at his cold and resolute face and almost suspected that she had heard it wrong.
The bedroom, which had been tense just now, suddenly became silent. It was so quiet that one could clearly hear the soft sound of wind chimes outside the window.
Facing Jiang Yunjin's intense gaze, Cui Yiluo subconsciously tried to escape. But as soon as she turned her eyes away, he forcefully pinched her jaw, forcing her to meet his gaze again.
It seemed that he could allow her to calm down and think clearly, but he would not allow her to avoid him.
After a few breaths, Cui Yiluo said softly, "I don't know whether I should believe you."
What he said today could have been an attempt to reassure her. Jiang Yunjin had always been concerned only with official duties, rules, and etiquette; how could he have given up his ambition with the Second Prince for her? But he had been acting like a madman these past few days, throwing all the rules to the wind. Cui Yiluo felt she couldn't see through him at all.
"But for now, you should at least believe that I won't marry anyone else."
He pinched her jaw forcefully, forcing her to look at his fingers. After she stopped struggling, he began to touch her lightly, inexplicably bringing a hint of softness that was different from his gloomy aura.
"The key to the Jiang family's accounting office is for you."
Cui Yiluo paused for a moment before realizing what was happening. He was explaining to her that he had just returned to the Jiang residence to get the key to the accounting office. He wasn't giving it to Wang Yuheng, or anyone else, but to her. He was going to hand over the Jiang family's fortune to her. But how could Old Madam Jiang be willing to watch her take over the affairs of the Jiang residence?
He then added, "I took back the accounts of the eldest wife on the day I returned to Beijing."
Cui Yiluo's expression was filled with astonishment. Wasn't the day he returned to the capital the same day she was stopped from leaving the city? Hadn't he already decided not to marry Wang Yuheng long before he stopped her? But Wang Yuheng was living in Yuzhu Courtyard at Madam Jiang's behest. How had he dealt with that?
Cui Yiluo lowered her eyes and hesitated, then suddenly her vision darkened. A handsome face fell over her and bit her swollen lips.
"Why did you burn my letter?"
Cui Yiluo frowned. His letter? The wind had blown it away that day, and he had actually found the unburned letter.
She was about to speak, but as soon as she opened her mouth, he took advantage of the situation and penetrated directly, entwining the tip of his tongue with hers, with force and a hint of astringency, clinging to hers, as if he was trying hard to absorb something, but also as if he didn't dare to hear her answer.
Her already swollen lips were sucked and bitten by him again. Cui Yiluo felt that all her breath was robbed and she was almost suffocated by his kiss. But as soon as she dodged, he caught up with her and held her neck tightly, forcing her to respond to his kisses and demands.
It was unknown how long it took before Jiang Yunjin was willing to let her go, but he was still reluctant to leave and gently touched her lips that were full of moisture.
His voice was hoarse and rough: "Why did you leave without saying goodbye?"
Cui Yiluo frowned even more, "I left a letter for you."
Jiang Yunjin paused in touching her lips and suddenly looked up at her.
As they stared at each other, their vision gradually cleared, and they both understood. There was only one person who could take the letter she had left in her bedroom.
Jiang Yunjin said softly: "I'm sorry."
She had left him a letter, so it was impossible for her to leave openly with Yuan Ling. But if she really went to Wanglonggang, would Yuan Ling try to trick her into taking her away? Jiang Yunjin collected his thoughts and didn't want to think about it anymore.
The hand he was holding on the back of her neck extended downwards, and his bony palm lightly patted her protruding butterfly bones. Cui Yiluo did not move, letting him hold her, only feeling the air pressure around him suddenly drop.
He pursed his lips and said, "Don't see him again in the future."
When Yuan Ling was mentioned, his expression turned gloomy again, filled with infinite chill.
Cui Yiluo lowered her eyes and remained silent, unsure how to explain her and Yuan Ling's deal to him. Although he spoke sincerely, saying that he hadn't initially treated her as a pawn, he had clearly protected her at that time because of Xiao Jing's orders. If not for Xiao Jing, then what was the reason? He had clearly been concerned about the distinction between men and women, repeatedly scolding her for observing the rules and wishing he could stay away from her.
Cui Yiluo couldn't figure it out and didn't know where to start.
The back of my neck tightened, and the man in front of me had a gloomy expression, and the waves in his eyes that had subsided began to surge again.
Seeing that he was about to fall on her again and go crazy, Cui Yiluo quickly leaned against his hard chest and turned her head to avoid his kiss.
"Jiang Yunjin, don't go crazy! I went to him that day to get something."
