Chapter 350 Do You Think I Care?
Cheng Gongjin's words were like a sharp knife, stabbing Mu Huaian's heart, making him numb with pain.
It seemed that everything had changed after returning to the capital from Zhuangzi. The person Ah Huan cared about was no longer just him. First it was Xie Zhili, then it was Xiao Jinghe, and now even the person in front of her occupied an important place in her heart.
It is impossible to say that I don't mind at all.
But he couldn't let go. The thought of losing this person made him lose all hope for the future.
He wanted to see Yu Qinghuan every day and stay with her forever.
So even if he is not the only one around Yu Qinghuan, it doesn’t matter. He can convince himself to accept it.
But this person happened to be Cheng Gongjin.
One is the person he loves the most, the other is the person he respects the most, both of them occupy the most important place in his heart...
This made Mu Huaian unable to give up either of them, especially after knowing Cheng Gongjin's contribution to the Duke Dingguo Mansion over the years. Even though the torturous poison didn't say what it would look like when it took effect, he could still guess some of it from Cheng Gongjin in front of him.
He must be in so much pain that he wants to be like this now.
"If she has more than one person in her heart, can you accept it?"
As he spoke, he looked directly at Cheng Gongjin and thought: With his personality, how could he tolerate such a thing...
Cheng Gongjin understood Mu Huaian and knew what he was thinking. He simply felt that he could not tolerate any grain of sand in his eyes and could not accept that a woman had other men in her heart. In fact, this was indeed the case.
But when he first met Yu Qinghuan in Jingyuan, he already knew that there was more than one man around her. He had always been aware of this, so even when he later ran into her and Du Yunxiao in the restaurant, he didn't care much.
After all, it was this kind of personality that he was attracted to in the first place.
It's impossible to expect Yu Qinghuan to change his personality after getting her.
Facing Mu Huaian's probing gaze, Cheng Gongjin said calmly, "The fact that I can still talk to you here is something she begged from Xiao Jinghe. Do you think I care?"
Hearing this, Mu Huaian clenched his fists under his sleeves. He knew in his heart that Yu Qinghuan must care about Cheng Gongjin very much, which is why she went to such great lengths to ask Xiao Jinghe for help. She loved freedom so much that she even agreed to let Xiao Jinghe go to the palace for four days every month.
So if he didn't want to lose Yu Qinghuan, he had to accept that there was a Cheng Gongjin by her side.
Just when Mu Huaian was worried about this, Cheng Gongjin's voice sounded again, "Huaian, if you can't accept it, it's better to let go as soon as possible."
Mu Huaian dug his fingers deep into his palms, his knuckles turning white from the force.
Cheng Gongjin's words were like a basin of ice water poured over his heart, and there was another basin, "You should know that there won't be only one person by her side, there may be more in the future."
"Let go?" Mu Huaian chuckled, but a rusty taste rose in his throat. "Impossible."
Cheng Gongjin didn't feel anything, after all, what he said was the truth.
If it were someone else, he wouldn't even be able to say these words.
Probably stimulated by Cheng Gongjin's words, Mu Huaian stood up from the ground, with a dark tide in his eyes, "What you can do, I can do too."
Cheng Gongjin didn't say anything, just looked at him quietly with a faint gaze.
Mu Huaian clenched his sleeves and said, "Have a good rest. I'm going out now."
After saying that, he turned and left. The moment he pushed open the door, Daying and Xiaoying dodged at the same time. Yu Qinghuan was standing in the yard. Seeing the door open, he looked over.
Yu Qinghuan smiled at him, "How is it?"
Mu Huaian walked towards her step by step, his steps heavier than usual. If he couldn't accept the fact that he would lose Yu Qinghuan when he was in the room just now, now looking at her like this, just thinking about it made him feel unbearable.
Seeing that Mu Huaian had been looking at her without saying anything, as if in a daze, Yu Qinghuan raised her hand and waved in front of him, "What's wrong?"
As he raised his hand, Mu Huaian's eyes fell on Yu Qinghuan's wrist. Only then did he realize that she had been wearing this red jade bracelet since he didn't know when.
At first, he gave the bracelet to Yu Qinghuan. Later, when Yu Qinghuan knew that the bracelet belonged to the Cheng family, she returned it, and he gave the bracelet back to Cheng Gongjin.
After many twists and turns, the bracelet finally returned to Yu Qinghuan's wrist, but this time, it was probably Cheng Gongjin who put it on her.
Maybe some things are destined to happen.
Just like he met Yu Qinghuan because of Xie Zhili, and Yu Qinghuan met Cheng Gongjin because of her.
There is no other way but to accept it.
"Huaian?" Yu Qinghuan's voice brought Mu Huaian back to reality. She frowned and said, "You look very bad. Did you tear your wound..."
Before she could finish her words, Mu Huaian suddenly grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms.
Mu Huaian's arms tightened like iron hoops, holding her tightly, as if only in this way could he feel at ease.
Yu Qinghuan could hear his rapid heartbeat, and his breath was hot and slightly moist against her ears.
She was slightly stunned, raised her hand and patted his back gently. Although she didn't know what the two of them talked about in the room, she felt uncomfortable seeing Mu Huaian like this.
"I don't care. I don't care about anything anymore."
Mu Huaian's voice was extremely hoarse, as if it was squeezed out from the deepest part of his chest. "Even if there are other people in the future, I can accept it, but don't abandon me."
Yu Qinghuan was stunned, and Mu Huaian's words made her heart tremble.
Is what he is saying what I understand?
She raised her hand to push Mu Huaian away and ask for clarification, but Mu Huaian held her tightly, buried his face in the crook of her neck, and rubbed his nose against her neck. It was as if he was extremely uneasy and was holding on to a life-saving piece of driftwood, unwilling to let go.
The sun was shining brightly in the yard, and Sang Ru had walked away without knowing when.
Daying entered the house and Xiaoying stood not far away. When he saw this scene, he sighed in his heart. Fortunately, he went out of the house before holding the baby. If he had held the baby in the house, the master might have gone crazy again.
Thinking of this, he felt sorry for his master. He obviously cared very much, but he kept saying that he didn't care.
He didn't care that the poison might be stimulated and the sword almost pierced his bones.
After a long time, Mu Huaian let go of Yu Qinghuan. In her dazed eyes, he brushed the corner of her lips with his thumb and secretly swore an oath in his heart.
I will do better than Cheng Gongjin, stay by her side all my life, and one day in the future stand in a higher position so that she will no longer be controlled by anyone.
Whether it was Xie Zhili, Xiao Jinghe or Cheng Gongjin... or even anyone who might appear in the future, he would accept them.
He won't say these things out loud because the promise is too light, but he will spend the rest of his life proving them.
"Ah Huan, I really love you."
