"To tell you the truth, I've run a brothel for most of my life, and this is the first time I've ever seen someone come to my brothel without calling for customers. They just booked one room and stayed there all night."
Chen Zhiyan's eyes instantly welled up with tears, a mixture of joy and guilt.
So, even when she was extremely angry, she didn't seek help from anyone else?
Chen Zhiyan realized he was wrong, terribly wrong. Why couldn't he have given his wife more trust?
She is different from others.
Father also noticed something; he guessed that the young couple had been arguing.
He couldn't help but offer some advice: "I advise this young master to cherish her. Such a virtuous woman is rare. You'll regret it if someone takes advantage of you."
He already regrets it!
"Thank you, Father." He would go back to the manor to wait for her return.
As long as she still wanted him, he would tell her everything without reservation.
Wei Wangqing also felt that he had been absent-minded and out of sorts all day. He had barely slept last night and couldn't fall asleep no matter how much he tossed and turned.
The smell of cosmetics in the room was also extremely uncomfortable, and Wei Wangqing felt that arguing was just too tiring.
Anyway, this is a matriarchal society, so let her bow her head first. A little coaxing will make it all go away.
It wasn't a big deal to begin with, but the two of them were both angry yesterday. After a night, their anger subsided and they calmed down.
After finishing his official duties, Wei Wangqing went straight back to his residence.
Before even entering the mansion, Wei Wangqing saw her Ayan standing at the door, and her heart clenched instantly.
But still somewhat embarrassed, he said with a stern face, "What are you doing standing here?"
Chen Zhiyan looked up. She was back. She hadn't abandoned him.
"I'm waiting for my wife to come back."
When Wei Wangqing saw Chen Zhiyan looking at him pitifully with red eyes, he felt that pride and face were no longer important.
He broke her heart so much.
"How could you be so silly?" He'd already argued, yet he was still waiting for her to come back outside. Wait, he wouldn't have been standing there all night, would he?
Chen Zhiyan, however, thought his wife was foolish too. She had gone to a brothel but hadn't asked for any service; she had simply stayed there by herself. She was just as foolish as he was.
"No." He didn't stand all night.
“You still say you’re not stupid.” Wei Wangqing thought he was referring to that sentence in response.
He reached out and pulled Chen Zhiyan inside.
Chen Zhiyan looked at his wife holding his hand and smiled; this feeling was wonderful.
He never wanted to argue with his wife again; it was too painful.
He was in so much pain that it felt like he had died once.
Wei Wangqing pulled the person back into the house and saw the purse still there.
He spoke first, saying, "Let's put the purse in the storeroom, just like the thank-you gifts others give us. Is that alright?"
He was different from others; there were distinctions between close and distant relationships. In the end, she couldn't bear to see him hurt.
Chen Zhiyan's eyes instantly welled up with tears. He felt as if he was being unreasonable and being too immature.
"My lady, I'm sorry."
Wei Wangqing looked over instantly.
"I shouldn't have said that yesterday."
Wei Wangqing sighed and hugged him. "I was wrong too. We were both too angry yesterday. Let's put this behind us, okay?"
Then she remembered that she had gone to a brothel last night, and she couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
Chen Zhiyan hugged his wife tightly and nodded. She was so wonderful, and he was terrified of losing her.
After a long while, the two finally let go.
"My lady, I have something else to tell you."
"Hmm, what is it?"
Chen Zhiyan took a deep breath and said, "I know that Aqing comes from the future."
Wei Wangqing was completely stunned. How could he have known?
Seeing his wife's state, Chen Zhiyan blurted out, "The sooner she dies, the sooner she'll be free."
Moreover, he no longer wanted to deceive his wife; he trusted her!
"I can know what my wife is thinking from the first time I saw her."
Wei Wangqing found it unbelievable; how could such a bizarre thing happen in this world?
But then she thought, if she could even travel through time, what else is impossible?
After accepting it, I felt curious.
Then I thought to myself: Can you hear me?
"Yes, my lady," Chen Zhiyan said somewhat nervously. Would she think he was an oddball?
Wei Wangqing found it amusing. "If you can hear everything I'm thinking, then I have absolutely no secrets from you?"
Wei Wangqing couldn't help but recall if he had thought of anything he shouldn't have, but he couldn't remember at all. Besides, he already knew the biggest secret!
"I...I didn't mean to." Chen Zhiyan said, feeling wronged. He didn't want to either!
Wei Wangqing found it somewhat amusing, "It's alright, this only proves that we are destined to be together. By the way, can you only hear me, or everyone else...?"
"Only A-Qing."
Wei Wangqing laughed, "That proves I'm special to you!"
Chen Zhiyan was a little confused; this development was not what he had imagined!
If that's the case, then why did he go to such lengths to keep it a secret for so long?
"Isn't my wife scared? Does she think I'm strange, since I know her secret?"
"Are you afraid of me? I come from another place, a completely different place from yours."
"No," Chen Zhiyan said hastily.
"So, just like you, I won't either."
I just felt a little strange and uneasy, and I was afraid to think about things in my mind.
Wait, can he hear what she's thinking?
Seeing Chen Zhiyan's mischievous smile, Wei Wangqing knew it was true.
