Jiang Tian's eyes were extremely red, and tears were still welling up in her eyes, but she did not utter a word.
Yan Jing'an hardened his resolve and stared intently at her.
His lips were pale, and he looked as if he were about to collapse.
But he stubbornly waited for an answer.
After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Tian finally uttered a single word: "Okay."
Yan Jing'an breathed a heavy sigh of relief, and a smile finally appeared on his lips.
He knew that Jiang Tian would never joke about this with him.
He was happy as long as she was alive.
He finally had the heart to tell her, "Death is a part of life. No one can live forever. I am not afraid of death, but I am afraid that you will not be happy. In this world, you are my only bond."
"After I'm gone, don't grieve for me, and don't be bound by those rules to remain chaste for me, nor do you need to think about being buried with me. If you meet a man you love, just forget about me. My only wish is that you can be free. Live your own life well, and wherever I am, I will be happy for you."
"I can't give you a child, but I won't stop you. If you meet the right person and have a child, I'm sure it will keep you company."
How could Yan Jing'an trust her?
Her parents are dead, and her family has long been wiped out. Now, she is nothing more than a drifting duckweed in this mortal world. She has no origin and no destination.
She called the place where the two of them lived home.
But if he leaves, her heart will have nowhere to go.
Yan Jing'an planned to teach her slowly, to make her understand that she was the only one she could rely on in this world, but he found that Jiang Tian didn't want to listen.
He saved her life, and she always clung to him.
For her, several key turning points in her life were due to his presence, which prevented her from falling into the abyss.
While he was still alive, Jiang Tian only wanted to bury herself in his arms and be someone who didn't care about anything.
She knew all too well that life is always lonely, and in the end, you are all alone.
But as long as Yan Jing'an is around, she can stop thinking about it.
She could then close her eyes, cover her ears, and love her husband to her heart's content.
Yan Jing'an doted on her, pitied her, and loved her. When he realized that she was deliberately unwilling to learn, he could only indulge her in the end.
But now that things have come to this, Yan Jing'an still has to teach her.
He said a lot to her, and Jiang Tian seemed to understand, but also seemed not to hear at all. She just stared intently at his face, as if he were her everything.
Yan Jing'an looked into her eyes and couldn't help but murmur, "...How can I be at ease with you like this?"
He knew perfectly well that Jiang Tian had an extremely strong survival ability.
She had suffered and survived in extremely complex environments, so she knew very well how to survive alone.
No matter how bitter or difficult things get, she always manages to persevere.
But he knew even more clearly how much Jiang Tian loved him…
He was the anchor of her soul.
Yan Jing'an's voice trembled as he kissed Jiang Tian's forehead and slowly said to her, "Let me go in peace, okay?"
Jiang Tian remained silent, but her tears soaked a patch of her clothes.
Yan Jing'an could tell that she was enduring immense grief.
He quickly took a deep breath and tried to joke with her: "Are you going to make me leave with regrets and become a vengeful ghost to haunt you?"
Jiang Tian finally spoke up: "Keep bothering me."
Yan Jing'an smiled helplessly. It was only at this moment that Jiang Tian would shed her disguise and reveal her little girl side.
"I won't bother you. Ghosts will drain a person's yang energy. I hope you live to be a hundred years old."
Yan Jing'an loves her so much, how could he possibly pester her?
When a person dies, it's like a lamp going out.
He only hoped that she could start a new life.
But he also knew that there was no point in trying to reason with them today.
Or perhaps this matter is simply impossible to explain.
Jiang Tian had to walk out on her own.
All he could do was spend the rest of his life with her.
Jiang Ting has been very busy lately, but he still managed to find time to visit Yan Jing'an.
He had few friends in his life, and no one dared to befriend an emperor.
Yan Jing'an was the only exception.
No wonder he made friends all over the world, and everyone wanted to befriend him.
His personal charisma is unparalleled.
Jiang Ting also recognized him as a friend.
So, even though he was incredibly busy, he still made time to visit him.
When he arrived, he happened to see Yan Jing'an cooking.
Upon seeing Jiang Ting, Yan Jing'an was delighted: "You two are really lucky to have arrived at this time. I'm here to cook today, and you've both come."
Yan Jing'an still has some wishes that have not yet been fulfilled.
For example, cooking a meal for his wife.
He had always wanted to hone his culinary skills, but he had been too busy this past year, working tirelessly at the Hanlin Academy every day, and constantly writing letters when he returned home, so he simply couldn't find the time.
Now, he finally has the time.
The talented man, who is praised by so many people, is so clumsy when it comes to cooking that it's almost unbearable to watch.
Yuwen Zhuo frowned deeply. He finally understood why Brother Yan only knew how to wash vegetables and dishes.
His cooking skills are really nothing to write home about.
"These potatoes are cut like sticks, Brother Yan, are you making weapons?"
Yuwen Zhuo also understood that at this point, no one would want to see him indulging in sentimentalism and lamentation.
Just treat each other normally and stay by Yan Jing'an's side peacefully.
Therefore, he still treated Yan Jing'an with the same attitude as before.
As expected, Yan Jing'an was even happier.
Hearing his sarcasm, Yan Jing'an said with a forced smile, "It wasn't made for you, so you don't need to worry about it."
