Transmigrating to a Female-Dominated World: Handsome Men Keep Chasing After Me

Chapter 365

Marriage had become an obsession for Pei Yunche. They had made a one-year agreement, but a year had already passed. He waited happily at home for Nalan Jingwen's return. Even though the agreement had expired, he still firmly believed that Nalan Jingwen would not break his word. But as he waited and waited, he received news that Nalan Jingwen had rebelled and been imprisoned.

Now, countless unknowns lie before him, and he is always afraid that the next second after he hesitates, another unexpected event will follow.

Their promise has yet to be fulfilled, becoming a thorn in his side that he cannot remove.

But Nalan Jingwen was right. Even if he were willing to marry her here, Nalan Jingwen would feel guilty towards him, and so would he.

The once-proud son of heaven has fallen from grace. He knows that Nalan Jingwen doesn't care about being tainted by the mud, but he does.

What's more, there's also my mother and older sister...

Even if he still wanted to marry Nalan Jingwen, he had to put it on hold. The most important thing now was Nalan Jingwen's injury.

After so many days of continuous rain, there's finally some decent news.

Nalan Jingwen's hands and feet had mostly recovered, and now she could walk a short distance even without anyone's help. When he returned from the city and saw Nalan Jingwen standing up and walking independently, tears welled up in his eyes almost instantly. He dropped what he was holding and rushed over, but stopped a step away from Nalan Jingwen. Watching Nalan Jingwen slowly walk forward, he stood aside, his hands trembling as he wanted to support her, but he managed to suppress his impulse.

It wasn't until Nalan Jingwen reached his limit and swayed as if about to fall that he hurriedly reached out and caught him, pulling him into his arms.

He raised his hand to wipe the sweat from Nalan Jing's forehead, his lips trembling slightly, so excited he could barely speak.

Nalan Jingwen lifted his eyelashes to look at him and smiled.

"Why are you back so early today?"

"Your leg……"

Nalan Jingwen nodded, "He should be fully recovered soon." It was as if he were talking about something very small.

Pei Yunche suddenly hugged her tightly, nestling her in his arms, and burst into tears.

He cried his heart out, as if he wanted to cry out all the grievances and anxieties he had felt before. He hugged the person in his arms tightly, with such force that it was as if he was trying his best to hold onto something.

Soon, large patches of fabric on his shoulders became wet.

Nalan Jingwen raised his hand and gently patted his back, a hint of tears glistening in his eyes.

"It's okay, it's all over."

everything will get better.

Pei Yunche nodded repeatedly, his voice trembling with sobs as he murmured, "It's all over, it's all over..."

Countless times in the dead of night, he dreamt of Nalan Jingwen standing before him, covered in wounds. Darkness swept over him, not a ray of light could penetrate, and panic and helplessness enveloped him. He was so afraid that he wanted to hold on to the person in front of him, but no matter what he did, he could not hold on. He could only watch helplessly as Nalan Jingwen disappeared or died before his eyes.

But there was nothing he could do.

I woke up suddenly from my dream, a chill running through me. I realized that I was covered in a cold sweat and my face was wet. I touched it and saw that it was tears.

He kept having nightmares and waking up in fright. Only by holding Nalan Jingwen tightly in his arms could he barely alleviate the emptiness and lingering fear after the initial shock.

Thankfully, thankfully she's still by my side.

“Nalan Jingwen…”

He called her name, his voice choked with emotion.

Nalan Jingwen stepped out of his arms, gently wiped away the tears on his face, cupped his face, and softly kissed his lips, her eyes tender and affectionate.

"I'm here."

"do not leave Me."

"No, I will never leave you."

"Even if you die, don't leave me behind, okay?"

Nalan Jingwen paused, his eyes darkening slightly. "We won't die, none of us will die."

She has suffered so much and endured so much pain. Since Heaven has brought this calamity upon her, it should be prepared to let her reap the rewards.

He gently kissed away the tears at the corners of her eyes, saying, "We will be together for all eternity."

……

Perhaps because Nalan Jingwen's health was gradually improving, Pei Yunche smiled more often every day, even when chopping wood and cooking. Nalan Jingwen sat on the recliner, watching Pei Yunche's busy figure. The sun was not scorching, and life was peaceful.

Pei Yunche didn't feel bitter; as long as he could see Nalan Jingwen's face, it was all worth it.

Besides cooking and washing clothes every day, he spent most of his time by Nalan Jingwen's side, watching her do rehabilitation exercises repeatedly. When she got tired, he would boil water for her to bathe. In the beginning, when Nalan Jingwen couldn't move, he was the one who wiped her body. Now that Nalan Jingwen can move, he doesn't need to help her anymore, which makes him feel a little lost.

At night they would lie together on the deck chairs in the yard and look at the stars, but most of the time, he was never looking at the stars.

Although life now is not as luxurious as it was in the general's mansion, with people serving him, he feels more at ease than ever before. He even thinks that if he could stay here for the rest of his life, spending time with his lover, it wouldn't be so bad.

He accepted being called cowardly and a coward who lived a life of ignominy.

However, Pei Yunche felt that fate was always against him and could not bear to see him get what he wanted. His hard-won peaceful days were shattered by a sharp arrow.

The courtyard gate was violently smashed, wood chips flew everywhere, and a loud crash was heard. The two people inside the house suddenly stopped eating. Nalan Jingwen looked out sharply. The golden hem of his robe gleamed dazzlingly in the sunlight. The person was tall and slender, with a noble and indifferent face and cold eyes. He was followed by more than a dozen guards.

He swept his gaze across the courtyard, finally settling on the two people inside the house, a slight ripple appearing in his indifferent eyes.

Pei Yunche's expression changed drastically. He stood up and tried to run away with Nalan Jingwen, but a sharp arrow pierced through the air and stuck into the wooden table, instantly shattering it into pieces and scattering food all over the floor.

A group of people poured into the small room, making it extremely crowded. Pei Yunche held Nalan Jingwen tightly in his arms, his eyes fixed on Rong Hengyu who was walking slowly towards him.

"Rong Hengyu, you traitor!!"

"Take it out on me! Don't touch her!!"

Despite Pei Yunche's shouts, Rong Hengyu's noble and indifferent face remained unmoved. His gaze fell on Nalan Jingwen, who had remained silent throughout, and paused for a moment when his eyes swept over her, his hand on her waist.

Finally, she lifted her phoenix eyes and looked at Pei Yunche, her voice slightly hoarse, like snow pressing down on a pine tree.

"Young Master Pei, General Pei failed in his duty to protect the Emperor and has been confined to the General's residence by His Majesty. Are you aware of this?"

A flicker of panic flashed in Pei Yunche's eyes, which was precisely caught by the person in front of him. "It seems that Young Master Pei knew about this, but he was unwilling to go back because of his affections for his children, and put General Pei in this situation because of his own selfishness."

"what do you want to say in the end?!"

Rong Hengyu's lips curved into a slight smile, but there was no hint of amusement in his eyes.

“If Young Master Pei does not return soon, and the crime of rescuing the rebels is confirmed, it may not only implicate General Pei, but also endanger the lives of his entire family.”
