Chapter 359
After he finished speaking, all around was silent.
Nalan Jingwen remained silent for a long time. Pei Yunche's arms, which were holding her, were trembling. He was nervous and afraid. He poured out all his love so directly, like being roasted by a raging fire. Every minute and every second was torture.
"And what about General Pei?"
Pei Yunche froze abruptly.
Nalan Jingwen asked another question, his voice extremely soft.
"What about General Pei?"
Today is another sunny day, a wonderful day, but for some reason, it's a bit too bright.
Pei Yunche didn't know how to react. Nalan Jingwen's words made him freeze on the spot, his mind blank.
He lowered his eyes in a panic, trying to hide the helplessness in them, but glistening tears instantly slid down from the corners of his eyes, exposing all his helplessness and pain.
His voice trembled as he broke down, saying, "I don't know, I don't know..."
"What can I do? What can I do?! I can't bear to leave you, do you expect me to just watch you die?"
"Nalan Jingwen, how could you be so cruel?!"
He didn't know what to do; he couldn't bear to give up either side. Why was there no way to have the best of both worlds?!
Pei Yunche's tears were like needles, piercing Nalan Jingwen's flesh and bones, making it impossible for her to ignore his pain.
But now we've reached a dead end, and there's no other way.
"We will meet again, Pei Yunche."
"How can we meet again? After you enter the cycle of reincarnation, how can I find you?"
“Nalan Jingwen, even if you are a god, I cannot bear to see you die in front of me.”
Nalan Jingwen shook her head, tilted her head slightly, buried her face in his neck, and smiled bitterly.
"Then just leave me here and go, so I won't die in front of you."
Not funny at all.
There was no solution to this matter, and the two argued to no avail. Pei Yunche was unwilling to mention it again, or rather, he deliberately avoided it. After that, he stayed by her side every day, as if he was afraid that she would disappear.
Nalan Jingwen originally thought he would die here, but unexpectedly, an old friend came to this remote place.
Pei Yunche tidied up the dilapidated thatched hut, making it clean and tidy, and it really felt like home. He somehow got a recliner, spread a blanket on it, and placed it in the yard. Nalan Jingwen was often held by Pei Yunche and lay on it to sunbathe.
However, most of the time, while she was sunbathing, she would fall into a deep sleep and become unconscious.
That day, Pei Yunche placed Nalan Jingwen on a reclining chair in the courtyard to bask in the sun, while he brewed medicine in the back. Perhaps it was a final burst of energy before death, but Nalan Jingwen felt much more comfortable today, so she was awake for longer than before. She lay with her eyes closed, her mind clear, enjoying these last moments.
As I was basking in the sun, a shadow fell over my head, something blocked the sunlight, and a familiar voice rang in my ears.
"I thought you must be in a terrible state right now, but I didn't expect you to be so comfortable. I'm afraid I shouldn't have come."
This sound had been there for many days, and whenever Nalan Jingwen heard it, he felt heartache. Yet, even though it hadn't been long, Nalan Jingwen felt as if it were a lifetime ago.
She opened her eyes and saw that the person was still masked, with curved eyebrows and eyes.
Looking towards the entrance, rows of men stood there, and a magnificent sedan chair was parked at the door, exuding an air of luxury and mystery, just as always.
Changsheng blinked and looked around, seemingly wanting to sit down, but after looking around and not finding a chair, he simply sat on Nalan Jingwen's recliner.
"Judging from the prince's appearance, he has been doing well lately."
Nalan Jingwen stared intently at him. "How did you find me?"
Even Xue Qingheng hadn't found him yet, but Changsheng was the first person to find him here.
Was he sent by Yuan, or did he come looking for himself?
He seemed even thinner after a few days, his waist was noticeably slimmer.
"secret."
"But judging from your expression, it seems you don't want me to come looking for you?"
After saying that, Pei Yunche came out with the medicine, blowing on the steaming medicine as he walked.
Changsheng glanced at him, a strange glint in his eyes, which he concealed well. "Your Highness now has a beauty in your arms; it's just that A-Nian has come at an inopportune time."
Upon hearing the unfamiliar voice, Pei Yunche abruptly looked up. Before he could react, he dropped the medicine in his hand. He rushed to Nalan Jingwen's side, blocking her path, and nervously questioned the person in front of him, "Who are you? Who sent you?!"
Chang Sheng turned her gaze to Pei Yunche's face, her voice light and gentle.
"Young Master Pei has actually fallen to this state because of someone, giving up a good life to come here and serve others. I don't know whether to say that His Highness is very lucky or that Young Master Pei is too stupid?"
Pei Yunche sensed a subtle hostility in his words, almost imperceptible. Although he didn't know why the other party was hostile towards him, his words did make him very uncomfortable.
"who are you?"
Changsheng looked away and glanced at Nalan Jingwen again, blinking.
"Your Highness, who am I?"
The ambiguous tone made Pei Yunche frown deeply. He lowered his head and looked at Nalan Jingwen, as if he wanted to get an answer.
Nalan Jingwen didn't have the energy to argue with them about these trivial matters. She looked up and met Pei Yunche's hurt gaze. "Carry me inside."
Pei Yunche didn't care about getting any answers anymore. He quickly bent down and picked the person up. The smile in Changsheng's eyes vanished when he saw Nalan Jingwen's limp hands and feet.
"No matter who sent you, if you dare to make a move here, I can guarantee that you will only take a corpse back with you."
The hand around his waist tightened, and Pei Yunche's breathing became erratic.
Nalan Jingwen looked over his shoulder and met Changsheng's cold eyes.
"Why is Your Highness so certain that I'm here to arrest you?"
Nalan Jingwen didn't want to guess his stance; whatever it was, it was meaningless to her at the moment.
Receiving no reply, Changsheng rose and approached step by step.
"What if I said I came to rescue the prince?"
Pei Yunche stopped abruptly. "You can save her?!"
Changsheng didn't spare a single glance for Pei Yunche, his gaze fixed on the woman in his arms, and repeated, "If I said I came to save Your Highness, would Your Highness believe me?"
"what do you want?"
If there were no profit to be made, Changsheng would never have traveled thousands of miles to come here, much less save her.
Upon hearing Nalan Jingwen's words, Changsheng chuckled softly.
"I want……"
He paused.
"I want you to tell him about our relationship."
Nalan Jingwen pursed her lips, staring intently at him without saying a word.
Changsheng seemed dissatisfied with her attitude and said, "Back then, we were intimate and naked together. I was also curious about what kind of relationship I had with the prince."
Pei Yunche's face grew increasingly pale, his knuckles turning white from strain.
After a long pause, Nalan Jingwen spoke:
"You know what? You're acting like a jealous husband right now."
