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

Pei Shaojin sighed inwardly and put his arm around Chu Yun's shoulder. "Okay."

Chu Yun moved closer to Pei Shaojin.

They are like intertwined tree branches, supporting each other, neither able to leave the other.

“Tomorrow is Sunday, why don’t we go to Liujin Star and visit your mother and Uncle Cai?” After a moment, Pei Shaojin spoke in a low voice.

Chu Yun's hand, which was on Pei Shaojin's waist and abdomen, trembled, and she lowered her head and looked down.

She felt apprehensive about returning home. Liujinxing was her home, the place where she grew up, but her family was no longer there. Going back would only bring back painful memories.

“I want to marry you. I can’t have never even met your family. You’ve been away from Liujin Star for a long time. Don’t you want to go back and see them? I’ll be with you. Don’t be afraid,” Pei Shaojin said again.

Chu Yun finally looked up at him and said in a trembling voice, "Okay."

Tears welled up in her eyes, and Pei Shaojin raised his hand to wipe them away.

“With me here, we’re family from now on,” Pei Shaojin said softly.

The two embraced, their deepest, most unspeakable wounds slowly healing.

Pei Shaojin was very proactive; the very next day, he took Chu Yun and headed to Liujin Star.

Due to severe surface subsidence and the attention of all interstellar people, the royal family dispatched troops to protect the inhabitants of Flowing Gold and prohibited noble families from mining on Flowing Gold.

Although mining has been halted, the deep-seated problem of exposed surface on Planet Flowing Gold is difficult to eradicate.

At first glance, the sky had lost its original color and was covered with a pale yellow.

A fierce wind swept in, carrying fine sand, and all that could be seen was desolation.

Chu Yun sat on the spaceship, her gaze shifting downwards to the devastated planet of Meteorite, her eyes slightly reddening.

Pei Shaojin grasped Chu Yun's hand. "Liujin Star is undergoing reconstruction. Believe me, it will definitely become better."

Chu Yun nodded with tears in her eyes.

People only truly appreciate something when they are about to lose it; this applies to people they cherish and to nature as well.

Whether ancient humans or interstellar beings, none can escape this fate.

I just don't know if all the amends can be forgiven and all the regrets can be resolved.

The original owner's mother and Uncle Cai were buried together, at the foot of a mine on Liujin Star.

The spaceship slowly descended.

Chu Yun and Pei Shaojin stepped off the spaceship and arrived at the two tombs.

When Chu Yun saw the tombstone, tears welled up in her eyes, and a pang of pain shot through her heart.

This is the original owner's heartache.

Even though her soul has vanished, her love for her mother and Uncle Cai is etched into her very bones.

How can it not be a pity that a young girl died in the prime of her life?

The only consolation is that the original owner will surely live a peaceful and prosperous life in the next life, and grow old in peace.

Chu Yun knelt before the grave, thinking of it as her returning to see her family on behalf of the original owner.

Pei Shaojin also knelt down.

"Auntie, Uncle, I am Pei Shaojin, Chu Yun's fiancé. I've come to see you."

"Chu Yun is brave, kind, and gentle. She is the best girl in the world. Thank you for raising her."

"From now on, I will take care of her in your place and make sure she doesn't suffer any injustice."

"Please rest assured."

Pei Shaojin looked at Chu Yun, who was crying uncontrollably beside him, and felt a pang of pain in his heart.

He held Chu Yun's hand, wanting to give her some strength.

Chu Yunhui grasped Pei Shaojin's hand, her gaze fixed on the tomb.

"Mom, Uncle Cai, Chu Yun is back."

“He is Pei Shaojin, the person I love. If he hadn’t saved me half a year ago, I might have died long ago.”

"He's a good person, he's very good to me, don't worry."

"Your daughter will be happy."

Pei Shaojin's heart sank suddenly.

What happened six months ago remains a hidden danger, and he must keep this secret from Chu Yun.

The existence of Gu Fenglin and Han Chengan, and the hidden story behind the life-saving incident, strengthened Pei Shaojin's resolve to marry Chu Yun as soon as possible.

He clenched his fist, a dark glint flashing in his eyes.

Pei Shaojin was feeling guilty, so he naturally wouldn't see the emotions hidden beneath Chu Yun's long eyelashes, nor would he guess that Chu Yun bringing up the events of half a year ago was entirely intentional.

Just as he was once bewitched by his desires and took credit for someone else's kindness, he also did not guess that Chu Yun was deliberately leading him step by step into the trap she had woven.

After returning to Imperial University, Chu Yun was busy with her classes and studies, while Pei Shaojin began preparing for their engagement.

To avoid any unforeseen complications, he had to act quickly.

This matter first needed to be approved by the king. For Chu Yun's sake, Pei Shaojin returned to the palace, which he hadn't visited for many years.

The king didn't care who Pei Shaojin married, and besides, Chu Yun's background was pitiful and she offered no help to Pei Shaojin, so he was even less likely to object.

It would be quite bad if Pei Shaojin were to marry a daughter from a prestigious family. Since he's now out of his mind and insists on marrying this orphan, the king is more than happy for him to get engaged so he can't back out.

"If you're willing to marry me, of course I won't stop you. You can make your own decisions about the engagement ceremony." The king waved his hand, about to send Pei Shaojin away.

Seeing the surprised and delighted expression on his good father's face when he heard that he wanted to marry Chu Yun, how could Pei Shaojin not guess the king's thoughts?

The man in front of me thought everyone in the world was like him, willing to sacrifice their marriage for profit, and unwilling to treat their newlywed wife well after gaining the benefits.

How could such a hypocritical and ruthless person be his father?

Wang Gong Pei Shaojin was unwilling to stay for even a moment longer. He flicked his sleeves and left expressionlessly.

He couldn't help but feel fortunate that the only good thing his father had done was to refuse to see Chu Yun.

That would be for the best; he didn't want Chu Yun to be disgusted.

Although it was an engagement, Pei Shaojin didn't want to wrong Chu Yun. He had the best flowers, gifts, and snacks for the ceremony bought by others, and he personally oversaw all the big and small matters, leaving nothing to others.

He made such a big move, and didn't try to hide it, so everyone who needed to know would know that this arrogant second prince was about to get engaged.

And her fiancé was an orphan girl from the planet Meteorite.

Everyone was astonished, marveling at Chu Yun's transformation from a sparrow to a phoenix.

Han Chengan and Gu Fenglin naturally received the news as well.

After Pei Shaojin took Chu Yun away that day, he deliberately concealed his whereabouts. In fact, Han and Gu had not seen Chu Yun since that day.

Their worries were only relieved when Chu Yun returned to school.

But before they could find a suitable opportunity to see Chu Yun, news of her engagement to Pei Shaojin spread.

How could they possibly sit still now?

They all went to block Chu Yun without prior arrangement.

Pei Shaojin calculated the time when Chu Yun would finish class and planned to pick her up to casually discuss the details of the ceremony.

The three of them actually headed towards Chu Yun's class.

When Chu Yun received Ban Jin's reminder and learned that the three of them were on their way and would be arriving soon, she couldn't help but smile.

The show is about to begin.
