...
Before entering the scene, Yue Lang called Yue Jiang to his side.
Yue Jiang looked at the melancholy Yue Lang and didn't know how to start the conversation. After all, if it hadn't been for saving her, Yue Lang wouldn't have been struck by Yu Chuxuan's sword.
I heard that she had been recuperating in the Jade Kingdom for a long time, during which time she didn't see me and even recklessly caused me trouble, even offering to hand over the Jade Kingdom's wealth in exchange for my safety.
Yue Jiang fears nothing more than owing favors, especially since Yue Lang was someone she used to dislike, yet that sword strike couldn't be faked.
"Go back to Yue Kingdom and take good care of your injuries. Now that Jing Kingdom's territory is growing larger and larger, it has enough strength. I will have Jing Yan treat Yue Kingdom kindly and not bully it."
"This is the first time you've spoken to me in such a gentle tone," Yue Lang said, waiting for Yue Jiang to finish speaking, but his first words weren't about the Yue Kingdom.
This made Yue Jiang even more uncomfortable, and she urged, "Let's go back quickly."
“I’m not going back,” Yue Lang said sadly, shaking his head.
Yue Jiang asked in surprise, "Where are you going?"
Yue Lang gazed at the distant mountains and smiled forlornly: "Didn't I tell you in Anguo that I bought a mountaintop? I'll live there from now on, far away from people, in peace and quiet."
Yue Jiang hesitated: "Can you endure the loneliness?"
Yuelang laughed angrily: "I asked you to come with me, but you wouldn't. Now you're worried about whether I'll be lonely by myself."
Yue Jiang denied it repeatedly: "I didn't, you should leave!"
“You’re worried about me, at least worried that I might do something rash,” Yue Lang saw through him at a glance, but since he was about to leave, he still wanted to say a few more words.
“You were raised in the Moon Kingdom, so you can see through people’s hearts. I am also a playboy who has seen countless people. I can’t be completely unable to see through sincerity and pretense.”
"At least you don't hate me that much anymore, Jiang'er. That's good enough. Don't worry, I'm leaving."
After he finished speaking, he turned and left without further hesitation.
As Yue Lang departed, Yue Jiang gazed at his retreating figure, her heart filled with indescribable emotions.
Perhaps her fate today began with Yue Lang and will end with his departure; she will remain in the Jing Kingdom forever.
Because everything was alright, she easily let go of her resentment and truly no longer disliked Yue Lang.
...
After many twists and turns, Yue Jiang and Jing Yan finally returned to Jing Palace.
After being away from Zhang'er for more than half a year, the mother and son suddenly reunited. Zhang'er was stunned at first, and then, with tears in his eyes, he rushed into Yue Jiang's arms.
"Mother, Mother is back. Zhang'er didn't cheat. He was eating candy obediently while waiting for Mother."
“Zhang’er, your mother came back right after you finished your candy. Your father really didn’t lie to you.”
The baby's soft, crying voice pierced Yue Jiang's heart, making it difficult for her to put Zhang'er down for a long time. She kept gently coaxing the little one who had suffered such a great injustice.
At the same time, Yue Jiang looked at Jing Yan with a questioning gaze, trying to understand the meaning behind Zhang'er's words.
Jing Yan whispered an explanation in Yue Jiang's ear, and only then did she realize how Jing Yan had managed to keep such a young child like Zhang'er from looking for his mother for so long.
But Yue Jiang still felt sorry for Zhang'er. This would be too hurtful to Zhang'er's young heart. She would never sneak away just to prevent Zhang'er from eating candy.
She coaxed him for a long time, and Zhang'er's mood finally calmed down.
Yue Jiang took out a bag of candy she had bought on the way from her bosom, peeled a candy, and put it to Zhang'er's lips.
"Good boy, your mother misses you very much. I went out to buy you some candy. It's all candy you've never tasted before. Open your mouth."
Zhang'er still had tears the size of soybeans on her face, her little mouth was pursed into a straight line, and her eyes were full of determination.
"I won't eat it because it would make my mother happy."
Yue Jiang: "..."
She never said she would be happy if Zhang'er didn't eat candy; she was just worried that he would get tooth decay from eating too much candy and hoped he would eat less.
It really scared me.
Holding a handful of candy, Yue Jiang sighed sadly, "These candies were carefully prepared by my mother for Zhang'er. If Zhang'er had eaten them, I would have been so happy. But Zhang'er doesn't like them. All my good intentions have been wasted."
"There are so many candies, but Zhang'er won't eat a single one. It seems we'll have to give them to your father."
Yue Jiang put the candy she had just peeled for Zhang'er into Jing Yan's mouth and deliberately asked a question in front of Zhang'er.
"Your Highness, is it sweet?"
Jingyan doesn't have a sweet tooth, nor has he ever loved sweets since childhood. But now, in order to coax him, under Yuejiang's deliberate questioning, he smacked his lips and savored the taste.
"It's sweet, fragrant, and has a stringy texture; it's a flavor you won't find even in the palace."
A pink candy was put into the father's mouth right in front of Zhang'er, and the father praised it so much that it made people drool.
Zhang'er's once resolute, tearful eyes were now filled with confusion. Staring at his father's constantly moving mouth, Zhang'er couldn't help but lick his own lips, his brows furrowed.
She realized something very annoying: why did her mother not leave her father after he ate the candy?
If he eats, his mother will refuse to see him.
No, no, Mother just urged him to eat it. Father must have wanted to eat it too, so he secretly took Mother away and only let her peel the candy for him.
Zhang'er was unhappy and tugged at Yue Jiang's dress, begging for candy: "Zhang'er wants to eat, Zhang'er wants to eat, Mother, give me one."
He opened his mouth wide, waiting to be fed.
Yue Jiang had prepared it in advance and gave Zhang'er a piece that was exactly the same as the one Jing Yan had.
When Zhang'er tasted the sweetness of the sugar, he found that it was indeed different from what he was used to eating in the palace.
Eating something sweet makes a person incredibly happy, and he instantly forgets his previous grievances.
With one hand holding Yue Jiang and the other holding Jing Yan, she happily skipped between her parents, calling out "Father, Father! Mother, Mother!" back and forth.
Seeing that Zhang'er had finally been appeased, the two secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Yue Jiang sighed, "Luckily, the child is still young, and this is the easiest time to appease him."
Jing Yan pondered these words, not entirely agreeing, and murmured, "Isn't it always me who's easiest to coax?"
