Quick Transmigration: The Charming Beauty Who Was Short-Lived and Alluring

Chapter 138 Gentle, Insightful, and Frail Noblewoman 71

"Your Highness, please come in."

Yan Jinyu stood outside. Qingyuan had already gone in to inform Chu Yun and, after receiving Chu Yun's instructions, came out with Qingying to invite Yan Jinyu in.

Yan Jinyu let out a long sigh and stepped inside.

Following Chu Yun's instructions, Qingyuan and Qingying stood on the left and right sides of the doorway respectively, keeping watch over the entrance.

While Wang Jianzhi and Yan Jinyu were talking, Chu Yun slowly woke up, drank the medicine brought by Doctor Sun, and her condition stabilized.

She had already changed out of her bright red wedding robe and was now wearing a pale yellow ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress), and sat down at the table.

Upon hearing the voice, she knew that Yan Jinyu had arrived. She did not react, nor did she get up to greet him, nor did she look up at Yan Jinyu.

Yan Jinyu stopped and looked straight at Chu Yun.

He had a lot to say to her.

Whether it was the broken promise that day, or his own identity.

He had too many things he needed to explain to Chu Yun.

Chu Yun must have wanted to see him because of these things.

But those words of explanation rolled over and over on his tongue, yet he couldn't utter a single one.

No matter how many difficulties he had, no matter how much he had no choice in the matter, his deception and betrayal of Chu Yun had already happened.

Chu Yun sat quietly, while Yan Jinyu stood silently to the side.

After a long while, Chu Yun raised her eyelids and looked at Yan Jinyu.

"You came."

This sound was like a sigh, like a sob.

Yan Jinyu felt a lump in her throat and could only reply in a low voice, "I'm here."

There was nothing more to say.

"Please sit down, Your Highness Prince Chen," Chu Yun said again.

A flicker of pain crossed Yan Jinyu's eyes as she sat down blankly.

"Your Highness, you've kept me waiting. Please have some tea." Chu Yun pushed the hot tea in front of Yan Jinyu.

At this moment, who has the heart to drink tea?

Yan Jinyu ignored the cup of tea and stared intently at Chu Yun.

"Yunyun, I didn't mean to lie to you. I broke our promise that day..."

"When you see me now, are you using the identity of Prince Chen or the identity of Wang Yu?" Chu Yun suddenly interrupted Yan Jinyu.

Looking into Chu Yun's calm and unwavering eyes, Yan Jinyu felt a sharp pain in her heart. "Wang Yu."

Chu Yun: "Alright, since you are Wang Yu, then I have some questions for you."

"Go ahead," Yan Jinyu said.

"Why didn't you come that day? Do you know how long I waited for you?" Chu Yun said in a hoarse voice, her eyes instantly reddening.

Yan Jinyu dared not meet Chu Yun's gaze and slightly shifted her eyes away.

“Look me in the eyes and tell me why you didn’t come,” Chu Yun raised her voice.

Yan Jinyu had no choice but to watch her.

Tears streamed down her face, clearly telling Yan Jinyu just how heartbroken Chu Yun was.

He loved the girl in front of him so much that he had secretly vowed to protect her and make her happy.

In the end, it was he who hurt her the most.

“Yan Huaiji had already noticed me at that time, but I didn’t go in order not to expose my identity.” He revealed the truth that made him feel ashamed.

Upon hearing this, Chu Yun gave a bitter smile.

"If you have so many attachments that hold you back, why did you agree to take me with you in the first place? Didn't I also give up everything? That night, I waited from midnight until dawn. Do you know how much I hoped you would appear?"

Yan Jinyu's eyes also reddened, and she murmured an apology to Chu Yun.

"You're not wrong, I'm the one who's wrong. I'm shameless, I brought this upon myself, and I deserve to be abandoned by you."

"Perhaps you never liked me at all. You've been lying to me from the very beginning. I was so foolish to believe you," Chu Yun said coldly.

Hearing Chu Yun belittle herself and even question their relationship, Yan Jinyu felt as if her heart was being torn apart.

They started too hastily, and when he wanted to cherish it, he found it was too late.

If he had known this would happen, he would never have deceived Chu Yun.

Yan Jinyu said urgently, "No, Yunyun, I like you, I really like you, but I have no choice. I'm burdened with a blood feud, and there are too many things I can't choose. If I could, I wouldn't want things to be like this..."

Chu Yun wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and interrupted Yan Jinyu again, "But all of this has already happened. Even if we try our best, we can't change it. And I can't erase those memories as if nothing had happened."

Now that things have come to this, you are Prince Chen, and I have married your cousin. Tell me, what should I do?

Chu Yun's fleeting vulnerability and questioning made Yan Jinyu think she was seeking his help and discussing countermeasures.

He clenched his fists, made a great decision, and said, "Yunyun, can you wait for me a little longer? His Majesty values ​​me highly now. When I am strong enough to no longer be held back by others, I will come to pick you up."

Chu Yun was stunned for a moment, looking at Yan Jinyu in disbelief.

"If you say that, where does that put Jianzhi? And where does that put me?"

"Do you think I can't escape your grasp for the rest of my life, that I can be summoned and dismissed at will?" Chu Yun's eyes turned cold.

"I had no such intention. I just wanted to make amends to you and stay with you forever," Yan Jinyu hurriedly said.

Chu Yun sneered, "I don't need your compensation, and as for staying together forever, that's not something you and I should do."

It's not just love in this world that I need to protect with all my might; I also cannot betray the reputation of the Xie and Lin families, or Jian Zhi's sincerity.

If you truly loved me, you wouldn't have come so late, nor would you have put me in this dilemma.

If I really did what you said, and even after entering the Marquis's mansion I was still thinking about other people, and only used Jianzhi as a stepping stone to be with you, I would despise myself!

If I actually agreed to your request, it would be an insult to this relationship.

If you still want to preserve our friendship, don't mention these words again! I will never agree to it! Don't make me look down on you!

Chu Yun's words were like slaps to Yan Jinyu's face.

He disregarded Chu Yun's reputation and Jian Zhi's feelings for his own selfish desires; he was indeed a despicable person.

Chu Yun is right, he really deserves to be looked down upon.

Every word pierced Yan Jinyu's heart like a knife, causing him to spasm with pain.

He could no longer see anything beautiful; all he could see was desolation.

"Go away. I called you here not to question you, nor to leave with you, but simply to settle things with you."

The feelings of that day are now severed; let us pretend we never met.

From now on, you go your way, and I'll go mine; we'll never cross paths again!

Chu Yun continued.

"No, Yunyun, if you think what I just said was wrong, I apologize. I will think of other ways and try my best to make things right. Please don't treat me like this." Yan Jinyu panicked.

"From the moment I decided to marry into the Marquis's family, I vowed to forget my past relationship with you and wholeheartedly become Jianzhi's wife," Chu Yun said firmly.

"I don't believe it, it's impossible. How could you forget me so quickly, forget our feelings?"
