34: Qin Feng, did you see it?

“Alright then, I’ll go to Zhou Capital with you all,” Liu Yanxin finally nodded.

“Yay!” Jin Ruoyan jumped up happily. “I’ll go tell my husband right now!”

After speaking, Jin Ruoyan hurried out of the room.

Watching Jin Ruoyan’s retreating figure, Liu Yanxin sighed, her heart a mix of emotions. She didn't know if her decision was right or wrong, but it was done, and there was nothing else she could do.

A moment later, Jin Ruoyan excitedly ran back, informing Liu Yanxin that Chen Xuan had agreed to take her, and told her to prepare, as she might not be able to return to Flame Feather City for a very long time.

“Understood. Thank you, Wife.”

“No problem, I don’t want to leave my Yanxin either!” Jin Ruoyan smiled indifferently and invited Liu Yanxin to stay over.

Liu Yanxin readily agreed. However, since Jin Ruoyan was heavily pregnant, she didn't sleep with her. Instead, she let Liu Yanxin sleep in the boudoir, while she and Chen Xuan slept in the guest room.

“This… alright, it’s just a place to rest, I won’t argue with you about it!”

“Mm-hmm!”

After chatting for a while longer, Jin Ruoyan left.

…

“Husband, it’s settled. We’ll bring Wife along from now on!” Jin Ruoyan gestured to Chen Xuan.

“Mm, my Wife is amazing.”

“Then, Husband… with such a good opportunity now, why don’t you just… Yanxin!” Jin Ruoyan made another gesture.

“Cough cough! Wife, what are you saying! I am a…”

“Alright, alright, I know you’re a gentleman, but that won’t work with me!” Jin Ruoyan crossed her arms over her chest, making an X.

“Why?”

“Hmph, you have the nerve to ask why? Back then, you weren’t like that with me. Why are you so good to Yanxin?!”

“…”

“Tell me!”

Chen Xuan laughed awkwardly, unsure how to respond.

“Back then, I was like that with you because I found you cute, and I couldn’t help myself. Besides, didn’t I apologize to you?” Chen Xuan explained.

“Then, what about Yanxin? She’s also very cute!” Jin Ruoyan persisted.

“That’s precisely the difference between the two of you. You see, only when you like someone immensely do you become impatient… right?” Chen Xuan argued with a smile.

“Hmph, who knows what you’re thinking. Anyway, I don’t care. Tonight, you must share a room with Yanxin!” Jin Ruoyan threw a tantrum.

“Alright, alright, how can I not obey my wife’s command?” Chen Xuan nodded helplessly.

Only then did Jin Ruoyan’s anger turn to joy. She hugged Chen Xuan’s arm and said with a giggle, “That’s more like it!”

…

Late at night, Liu Yanxin lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. Chen Xuan’s image filled her mind. The thought of going to Zhou Capital with him made her both nervous and expectant.

Just then, the door was gently pushed open, and a familiar figure walked in.

“Yanxin, are you asleep?” The person was Chen Xuan.

“I, I’m not asleep. Is something wrong?” Liu Yanxin replied nervously.

“Wife asked me to accompany you. I was afraid you might be scared alone at night, so I came to check.” Chen Xuan said gently.

“Ah? Is that so? Then, then I’ll trouble Senior Brother.” Liu Yanxin lowered her head, not daring to look directly at Chen Xuan, nor did she expose his excuse.

“No need to be polite, we’re friends.” Chen Xuan smiled and sat on the edge of the bed.

Liu Yanxin felt her heart beat faster and faster. She secretly glanced at Chen Xuan and found that he was staring at her, making her heart pound even more.

“Yanxin, what’s wrong? Why is your face so red?” Chen Xuan asked with concern.

“N-nothing, it might be a bit warm.” Liu Yanxin hastily explained.

“Warm? Then should I open the window a bit for you?” Chen Xuan got up, walked to the window, and opened it.

The night breeze blew gently, taking away the stuffiness in the room and calming Liu Yanxin’s mood considerably.

“Yanxin, do you know? Actually, I’ve always liked you very much.” Chen Xuan suddenly said.

Liu Yanxin suddenly looked up, staring at Chen Xuan, her face full of shock.

“I, I don’t know…” Liu Yanxin was a little flustered.

“I know you’ve always seen me as a Senior Brother, but between us, is it truly only a Senior Brother-Junior Sister relationship?” Chen Xuan stared intently at Liu Yanxin, his tone sincere.

Liu Yanxin thought for a moment, then shook her head.

“Yanxin, I know you still have reservations, but please believe that I genuinely like you. I don’t want to miss you again.” Chen Xuan held Liu Yanxin’s hand, confessing deeply.

“Thump thump!” Liu Yanxin’s heart pounded violently. Her cheeks grew hotter and hotter. She shyly lowered her head, not daring to look at Chen Xuan anymore.

At this moment, her mind was almost entirely filled with Chen Xuan’s image. She felt as if she had fallen for Chen Xuan, but as soon as this thought appeared, she immediately denied it.

“No, no, I can’t like him. He’s Wife’s husband, I can’t snatch him from her!” Liu Yanxin secretly warned herself.

However, emotions are not something that can be controlled at will. The more Liu Yanxin tried to suppress her feelings, the more uncomfortable she felt, to the point where she was almost breathless.

“Senior Brother Chen, I, I’m going to rest. If you have nothing else, please leave.” Finally, Liu Yanxin broke the silence, speaking softly.

“So, Yanxin, what’s your answer? Could it be that you…”

“Don’t say it! Senior Brother Chen, you should think carefully about your Junior Brother, I am…!”

“You’re still avoiding my question.”

“I, I don’t like you. Please leave!”

After saying this, Liu Yanxin’s face was already covered in tears. She didn’t want to cry in front of Chen Xuan, but emotions were not something she could control.

“Since that’s the case…” Chen Xuan turned around, intending to leave.

Liu Yanxin also painfully lowered her head, silently shedding tears.

“Actually, I was just teasing you.”

“Then I hope Senior Brother Chen won’t tease me like that again.”

Chen Xuan didn’t speak, but walked directly in front of Liu Yanxin and pulled her into his arms.

“What I mean is, I’m not leaving.”

“Ah!” Liu Yanxin exclaimed, trying to break free from Chen Xuan’s embrace, but found that his strength was surprisingly great, and she couldn't break free at all.

“You, what are you doing?” Liu Yanxin asked, a little panicked.

Chen Xuan still didn’t speak, just quietly looked at Liu Yanxin, then slowly lowered his head and kissed her lips.

Liu Yanxin’s eyes widened suddenly. She wanted to resist, but found her body gradually softening, unconsciously responding to Chen Xuan’s kiss.

Hmm, after a rollercoaster of emotions, () is the most moving. Qin Feng, you won't see it, hehehe!

As the saying goes: Tender buds gently unfurl, their meaning unclear; a jade skirt dances lightly amidst the green waves.
