A red apricot is about to cheat on you

Chapter 202: Clouds Clear and Stars Fall

At this moment, Han Bai strode in and saw them being affectionate with each other, which made him feel very embarrassed. He wanted to leave, but it was too late.

When Yi Duoer saw someone coming in, she immediately got out of his arms with a hint of embarrassment on her face. Now she was much more mature than before.

Chu Jingchen, with a look of impatience, shot a cold glare at Han Bo, sending a chill down his spine. He trembled and said, "Master, I thought you were with Miss Duo'er. Sorry, I'm leaving now."

Chu Jingchen asked angrily, "What's the matter?"

Han Bo heard his question and stopped walking away. He bowed and said respectfully:

"Tomorrow, Tuoba Cheng will take over the throne of Heavenly Khan. He wants to invite you to attend the ceremony and banquet before returning. Master, how do you think I should respond to him?"

Chu Jingchen didn't respond immediately. Instead, he turned to look at Yi Duoer. His change of mood was too obvious, from displeasure to gentleness. "Guai Duoer, do you want to go home today? Or do you want to attend the banquet?"

These two faces made Han Bo feel very hurt.

"It won't take a day or two to go back."

Chu Jingchen: "Okay, I'll listen to Duo'er." After the two of them finished talking, he asked Han Bo to leave.

Around noon, Xie Xingchen disguised himself as a jailer and arrived at the cell. When his footsteps quietly landed outside Tuoba Hong's cell, he looked at him indifferently. He said coldly:

"You sent someone to secretly send me a message, hoping that I would rescue you? You think too highly of me."

Tuoba Hong came to him anxiously and said with an unwilling tone: "As long as you rescue me, lend me a helping hand, and become the Heavenly Khan, I, Hujudu, will follow the lead of the Dongli Kingdom."

"Why should I believe you?" Xie Xingchen's tone was cold, with a hint of doubt.

Tuoba Hong promised him a lot very sincerely. Xie Xingchen had secretly arranged for people to come over. What he didn't want most was to see Qichao becoming more and more powerful. He would help Tuoba Hong without him asking.

After a long while, Xie Xingchen said softly, "Someone will take you out tonight. When the time comes, take your old subordinates and follow my people. We will develop secretly first. Don't seek revenge on Tuoba Cheng for the time being."

After he finished speaking, he left without even turning his head. Tuoba Hong fell into deep thought.

Han Bo here was counting the slaves coming from Jiangzhou, reading out their names one by one. It was obvious that they were all very happy because they could finally go home tomorrow.

Even Zhang Ruyi and others who are always sarcastic, when they learned that Yuyao's lover was actually the general, although they were jealous in their hearts, they were careful to please her on the surface, for fear that she would bear a grudge and take revenge on them.

At this time, Yi Duoer was humming a cheerful song and packing her things. It could be seen that she was extremely excited.

"You are my little apple, I can never love you enough..." As she sang, she noticed Jiang Wange packing her bag. She looked sad and said:

"Aunt Jiang, what's wrong with you? Are you not used to going back to the capital suddenly?"

Jiang Wange stopped what he was doing, his brows twisted into a knot, and he looked up at his surroundings. Suddenly, he felt sad and responded with a faint smile.

"It's okay. This is not our home after all. When we return to Beijing, I will take you to the best barbecue restaurant in Beijing. The ingredients here are limited, so I will cook a lot of delicious food for you." Yi Duoer said, and she couldn't help swallowing her saliva when she thought of the delicious food she made in Beijing.

"Okay, I'll listen to Duo'er." Jiang Wange showed a very gentle smile. After all, returning to the capital to reunite with her family was her wish.

Yi Duoer saw her packing the clothes she had made for Chu Jingchen, and then helped her organize them. At this moment, Chu Jingchen walked in and saw them packing these worthless things.

So he called out, "Don't take these worthless things. When we get to the border of Qi Dynasty, I'll have someone make you a few new sets of clothes. You won't need these when you return to the capital."

His tone was extremely calm, without any warmth in it. When Jiang Wange heard these words, a trace of sadness flashed across his brows.

Yi Duoer saw all of this. It seemed that the mother and son had not reconciled as before, but were just maintaining the surface awkwardness.

So, she quickly packed the clothes, muttering to herself, "It's really Prince Jiao. I wonder how long Aunt Jiang spent embroidering these clothes. She just threw them away, and there are still my things in them."

Chu Jingchen was speechless. Yi Duoer had suffered a lot and understood Jiang Wange's state of mind. She then looked at Jiang Wange and said, "Aunt Jiang, you should clean up first. We'll go out for a while."

Then she pulled Chu Jingchen out and came to the riverside, looking at him with a resentful expression: "Can you stop giving Aunt Jiang such a cold expression? In fact, she has missed you for so long and sews new clothes for you every year."

Hearing this, Chu Jingchen's originally furrowed brows revealed a hint of doubt. It turned out that the clothes in those packages were all sewn by her for him?

In fact, he no longer hated her, but he just didn't know how to face her or how to get along with her. However, Yi Duoer knew him well and knew that she didn't want to see her beloved surrounded by sadness.

So, she told him a story with great sincerity:

"Let me tell you a story. There was once a young woman who loved her family very much: her parents, her brother, her relatives, and her friends. Yet, she still chose to join the army for her ideal. Everyone in her family opposed her decision, but she still resolutely applied to the military academy...

"She ultimately died in the line of duty, never to see the one she loved again. Her family is heartbroken! With only a few decades left in life, shouldn't we cherish the present moment?"

Her tone was very sad. Chu Jingchen called Duo'er softly. She covered his mouth and continued:

"When I saw Aunt Jiang sewing clothes for her children, she was always thinking about you. You don't know how much I envied you. You have everything. Now your mother is back with you, but you keep making things difficult for yourself and hurting Aunt Jiang's heart because of that little bit of fear in your heart. Think about it carefully!"

After she finished speaking, she ignored his obstruction and turned away without looking back, leaving Chu Jingchen alone standing there looking at her back!

Lost in thought, Yi Duoer did not comfort him. Often, saying something more practical would be more effective. Even if it was a little hurtful, as long as a person who valued feelings would definitely listen. She could only do this much. The rest was up to them. She could not control too much of other people's emotional entanglements, nor would she interfere!
