Chapter 841
Ding Yu arrived shortly afterward.
He was dressed in a simple blue robe, just like when Qi Jing first met him.
A handsome young man.
Upon seeing Qi Jing's tearful eyes, Ding Yu strode forward and embraced her, saying, "Jing'er, you've suffered so much."
Qi Jing shook her head, crying, "At least I can still see you, so it's not all that suffering..."
Ding Yu sighed and patiently coaxed Qi Jing.
Only after Qi Jing stopped crying did the two of them sit down at the table.
"Young Master Ding, is it because that woman is too controlling that you won't come to see me?"
Seeing Ding Yu nod, Qi Jing became even angrier: "This is really too much! You're a man, how can we keep you confined every day and not let you go out? This is more like a prison guard and a prisoner than a husband and wife!"
Seeing Qi Jing's indignation, Ding Yu's gaze couldn't help but wander for a moment.
Actually, Doukou didn't care about him at all.
She even told him that she would support him no matter what decision he made.
These past few days, Ding Yu hasn't come to see her; actually, it's because he doesn't want to.
Ding Yu is quite satisfied with his current life.
Although the lady was not a conventionally virtuous woman, she was both gentle and capable, and even if he did not take the imperial examinations, he would not have to endure any hardship.
However, Ding Yu couldn't bring himself to say what he was thinking when he thought of the so-called people from the palace he had met today.
"Jing'er, why are you in such a hurry to see me? Is something the matter?"
Qi Jing blushed: "Young Master Ding, what we talked about before... have you forgotten it all?"
Ding Yu was taken aback, then remembered that the two of them had made a solemn vow of eternal love back then.
However, that memory was somewhat distant, and it took Ding Yu a while to recall it.
“...Of course I haven’t forgotten,” Ding Yu said, “but times have changed, and the situation is very different now.”
Qi Jing's eyes dimmed: "Young Master Ding, are you really going to accept your fate like this? Just because of that woman?"
Ding Yu sighed: "Jing'er, I'm already married now. If I were to stay with you... that wouldn't be fair to you."
Upon hearing this, Qi Jing's heart stirred.
Ding Yu still cares about her; otherwise, why would he be so considerate of her?
“I don’t care about those things, Young Master Ding,” Qi Jing said, as if afraid that Ding Yu wouldn’t understand her feelings. She simply got up and sat down next to him, took his hand in hers, and pressed his hand to her heart. “Young Master Ding, can you feel it? This place, this whole place is you!”
Even through her clothes, Ding Yu could clearly feel her body temperature and the beating of her heart.
The blows, one after another, made his palms go numb.
Ding Yu looked up and met Qi Jing's gaze.
Qi Jing's gaze remained as pure as ever, even carrying a hint of admiration and pleading.
Any man would find it hard not to be moved by such a gaze.
Ding Yu was just an ordinary man.
His mind wavered, and he subconsciously leaned slightly towards Qi Jing.
Qi Jing hurriedly pressed herself against him.
The two looked at each other, seemingly reaching some kind of consensus.
A short while later, the candlelight in the room went out, and the breathing inside became increasingly rapid.
