Zhao Canchen took a step back and carefully examined Xiao Jun, his eyes filled with even more intense love.
He said softly, "Xiao Jun, you are even more beautiful today than yesterday. You have the delicate beauty of a newlywed. Compared to when you were a prostitute, you have a more mature charm that makes me even more fascinated."
Upon hearing his words, Lin Yajun couldn't help but recall the warmth and sweetness of their wedding night. Her face flushed red, and she glared at Zhao Canchen. Her eyes sparkled like spring water, and her lips parted slightly, revealing a captivating charm.
Zhao Canchen felt a jolt in his heart when she glared at him, as if an electric current had run through his body.
His gaze involuntarily fell upon her beautiful eyes, whose charm was like a clear spring, making him feel refreshed and relaxed.
He couldn't help but take a deep breath and murmur to himself, "Ah Jun, you are so charming, I want to..." His voice gradually lowered, as if he was having some difficulty saying it.
The unspoken words, like a gentle spring breeze, softly stirred Lin Yajun's heartstrings.
Looking at his expression, Lin Yajun's lips curled into a shy smile. This smile, like a spring flower in bloom, made Zhao Canchen's heart beat even faster.
He couldn't help but exclaim, "So this is what it means to have a loving marriage!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yajun couldn't help but laugh out loud. Her laughter was clear and melodious, like the sound of silver bells.
She nodded gently in agreement, "Yes, it's really wonderful."
Seeing that his beloved wife also acknowledged their loving relationship, Zhao Canchen felt a surge of happiness welling up inside him. He reached out and tightly embraced Lin Yajun, pulling her into his arms.
In this tranquil moment, the couple nestled together, as if the whole world had shrunk to just the two of them.
They shared their pasts in soft voices, and those deep-seated memories gradually surfaced.
Zhao Canchen's voice was slightly low, revealing an indescribable sadness: "Ajun, do you know? I've been disliked since I was a child. It felt like the whole world had abandoned me. I've thought about ending it all countless times. Maybe only in this way can I get rid of that pain."
Hearing her husband's words, Lin Yajun felt as if her heart was being torn apart. She hugged Zhao Canchen tightly and gently comforted him, "From now on, I will be by your side. I will love you, protect you, and never let you suffer any harm again."
Zhao Canchen's eyes gradually welled up with tears, which swirled in his eyes like twinkling stars in the night sky.
Those were tears of emotion in his eyes. He nodded heavily, responding to his wife's deep affection: "Okay!"
Zhao Canchen held Lin Yajun's hand tightly, the couple's fingers intertwined, as if this would bind their hearts together and never separate them.
Lin Yajun sensed Zhao Canchen's love, and she opened her heart, telling him about her pain: "Actually, I also have a painful past. My closest relatives betrayed me. They not only took my life, but also stole my money."
Zhao Canchen's heart tightened. He immediately thought of the incident where Lin Yajun was forced into a marriage exchange and had her dowry stolen by her second uncle Lin Daoqing's family.
He looked at his wife with heartache and said, "Xiaojun, you've suffered. But perhaps it's precisely because we've both gone through this pain that we can cherish each other even more."
Lin Yajun smiled gently, her gaze falling on Zhao Canchen, a hint of relief flashing in her eyes.
“Ah Chen, you’re right,” Lin Yajun said softly, her voice filled with emotion. “Being together is perhaps a way to make up for the pain of the past.” Her smile grew even brighter, as if sunlight pierced through the clouds and shone on the earth.
"Only after experiencing hardships can one truly see the magnificent rainbow!" Lin Yajun exclaimed, her tone filled with profound insights into life.
Hearing Lin Yajun's words, Zhao Canchen felt a surge of emotion. He hugged Xiaojun tightly, as if he wanted to merge her into his own body.
“Ah Jun, I am so lucky,” Zhao Canchen said affectionately. “Meeting you and marrying you is the happiest thing in my life.”
Feeling Zhao Canchen's embrace, Lin Yajun was also moved. She raised her head and met Zhao Canchen's gaze, her eyes also filled with deep affection.
“Ah Chen, I feel incredibly lucky too,” Lin Yajun said with emotion. “Marrying you is the greatest honor of my life.”
In this heartwarming moment, the couple's hearts drew closer, and they silently made a decision: no matter how many difficulties and challenges they might encounter in the future, they would support each other, face them together, and weather every storm together.
Just then, the old woman guarding the second gate came to the courtyard. She bowed and said, "Sir, Madam, Madam Ma and her daughter say they want to come to the main courtyard to serve you. Should we let them in?"
Zhao Canchen and Lin Yajun felt very disappointed, as their sweet moment had been interrupted.
"Ah Chen, please have a seat. I'll be right back," Lin Yajun said gently.
"Ah Jun came back after sending them away. It was quite chilly outside this morning," Zhao Canchen said with concern, as he gently draped a bright red cloak over Lin Yajun's shoulders. The cloak was vibrant and eye-catching, complementing Lin Yajun's clothes and making her appear even more beautiful.
Feeling Zhao Canchen's care, Lin Yajun felt a warmth in her heart. A sweet smile appeared on her lips as she softly replied, "Okay, Achen, I'll be back soon." With that, she stood up and gracefully walked outside, stopping at the doorway.
"Why haven't they left yet?" Lin Yajun frowned and asked the old woman with displeasure.
Upon seeing this, the old woman quickly and respectfully replied, "Replying to Madam, they haven't left yet. They've been waiting at the Lin residence. Last night, the two of them ate at the banquet and then squeezed into the servants' quarters, saying they wanted to serve you at any time."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yajun felt even more dissatisfied. The Ma mother and daughter were far too tactless, persisting in their nagging.
She snorted coldly, "I don't want their service."
The old woman quickly continued, "Last night, when several old women brought hot water to the main house, they wanted to come and serve them, but they were stopped by those two officials from the palace."
She then recounted another incident: "When they saw the palace servants going in to attend to them, they rushed into the main courtyard, but I went and dragged them back."
Lin Yajun was quite surprised after hearing this. The Ma mother and daughter were so shameless that they even wanted to serve her. It was really unbearable.
She muttered, "Absolutely shameless."
Seeing that the young lady disliked Madam Ma and her daughter, the old woman mustered her courage and whispered another matter: "Qiaoqing was searching inside and outside the west wing, as if looking for something. I went to warn them that I would tell you, and they stopped searching."
