Chapter 0108 – Complaints (1 / 2)

Even though Zhang Daoquan had resolved to let go of the past, this did not prevent him from observing Chen Zian’s jealous look with a hint of teasing.

“So it turns out that Duke Zhuo Yu is not only outstanding in his writings, but even his eavesdropping skills are top notch.” Zhang Daoquan raised his eyebrows lightly, a few hints of derision in his tone.

“Lord Zhang, I ……” Chen Zian’s cheeks were flushed and his words appeared to be stuttering, and as he was about to explain, he caught a glimpse of the flash of warning that Xiang Capsicum threw at Zhang Daoquan. Unexpectedly, the usually majestic and self-possessed Tongjian Zhang did not feel offended, but instead just smiled gently.

Although Chen Zian was silent on the surface, he was inwardly mixed and sour.

“You guys take your time to chat, I still have some official business to attend to.” Zhang Daoquan said, stood up, gently dusted off the dust on his sleeves, and took big steps to leave.

The doorway of the compartment had a modest threshold, and Xiang Cai hurriedly walked behind Chen Zi’an and helped push his wheelchair across the threshold, then turned around and closed the door of the compartment again.

“In fact, I ……” Chen Zian opened his mouth, wanted to tell her that he had been able to walk, but deep inside he was clinging to this familiar feeling of being taken care of, and in the end he could not say it.

For a while, the room was silent, the two looked at the once suffering and intimate each other, but there were no words for a while.

After a long time, Chen Zian finally couldn’t hold back and asked tentatively, “Could it be that the child in your belly, is Lord Zhang’s?”

“You, what are you talking about!” Shellfish’s eyes widened in anger, “What do you, what do you think I am! A woman who casually does, does that kind of thing with a man’s!”

Chen Zian repeatedly apologized, “Sorry, sorry, I was outside the door just now, I couldn’t hear you clearly, I only heard you guys talking about children and stuff, I thought-“

Fragrant Capsule was so angry that she flung out her handkerchief and went to sit down at the table.

Being interrupted by Chen Zian like this, the full of words that she had originally prepared dissipated cleanly, and she had to turn her body sideways to stop talking.

Looking at Xiang Capsicum’s slightly pale side face, Chen Zian finally spoke, “I’m sorry.”

“That’s just it, you just misheard it too.”

“No, it’s not just about today.”

Xiang Capsicum was stunned, and Chen Zian let out a bitter smile, ”Xiang Capsicum, even when I was at the White Horse Temple, I never treated you as a momentary wife. I had made a vow in front of the Buddha statue to protect you for the rest of my life. I had conceitedly thought that I could protect you in my own way, not realizing that I was always one step short.”

Fragrant Capsule’s palms trembled slightly and she couldn’t help but turn her head to look at him, “My lord.”

Chen Zian gazed into her eyes and continued, “For so many days, I have more than once recalled that time between you and I in the White Horse Temple. I regretted it every day, regretting that I didn’t correspond with you from time to time at the pagoda, regretting that I didn’t return to the Chen Mansion earlier to ask for you from Big Brother. Today’s banquet is so noisy, all the people around me not stingy praise, but I would rather stay in the White Horse Monastery forever, to be a number of weak patients, as long as I can and you a place. These days I have been wanting to go to find you, but you are already big brother’s favorite concubine, I’m afraid of Chen Fu that crowded eyes, but will give you trouble. Today can see you here, you do not know how happy I am.”

The warm sunlight penetrated through the window pane of the compartment, spilling out onto Chen Zian’s serious and crystalline eyebrows, reflecting a bit of starlight.

This confession was sincere to the extreme, so how could the Fragrant Capsicum not be moved?

But since she had promised Aunt Shen, how could she go back on her word.

What’s more, the child in her womb can’t be tainted with the stigma of illegitimacy before it’s born.

Her heart wanted to immediately go forward and embrace Chen Zian, but her feet could not.

“In fact, the slave girl has ventured here today, not to seek out Elder Zhang, but to seek out Your Excellency for an explanation.”

Chen Zian’s face was delighted, but he heard Xiang Capsicum continue:

“Second young master, it’s all in the past. It was already enough for the slave girl to be a fake couple with Gongzi Baima Temple for so many days. Now that you and I are each on our own, those days and vain promises, please ask your son to forget them as much as possible.”

Xiang Capsicum turned her back, hiding the tears in her eyes from the blinding sun, and gave another bitter smile.
