"Xuemei, I'm destined not to be a pure person. My future is either to stand on the throne with my hands full of blood.
Or, they would be deserted by their friends and relatives, deprived of everything, and become a skeleton under the feet of the victor, serving as a foil to the wisdom and might of others.”
"But you are like that sapphire, pure, beautiful, flawless, and untainted.
He has the purest quality in the world, and also the quality that I envy the most.
I couldn't bear to let you get involved in such a cruel battle, so I deliberately created a distance.
He even hoped that you would retreat and live an ordinary but peaceful life.”
He listened to Jiang Chen's story.
Lu Xuemei's face suddenly turned anxious, and the urgency in her eyes seemed to be about to manifest.
His entire body was trembling slightly, and his limbs were at a loss.
He almost blurted out," I'm not afraid of anything."
However, it was also at this moment.
Jiang Chen reached out a hand and stopped her from saying anything.
Then, he continued,
"However, I later realized that this was just my own wishful thinking. I never asked for your opinion.
Perhaps, you are willing to accompany me through all of this?
Most importantly, I like you. If I see you in someone else's arms, I'm afraid I'll regret it for the rest of my life.
So, I've decided to give you a choice.
I want to ask you seriously, are you willing to accompany me to cut through the thorns and kill a bloody path?”
Jiang Chen said the last sentence before he could look up.
Lu Xuemei suddenly threw herself into his arms, hugged him tightly, and burst into tears.
In the middle of it all, she sobbed several times.
It was as if his body had lost its strength, and he could not even stand steadily.
However, the arms that were wrapped around Jiang Chen did not relax at all.
Lu Xuemei had never expected this.
This seemingly glamorous rich second-generation heir in front of him was actually carrying such a huge pressure on him.
He didn't even realize it.
Jiang Chen's indifference and resistance was actually to protect her.
It was fine if she didn't know, but she actually misunderstood in her heart.
She even went to Huo Siyun's door to ask for the engagement to be canceled, making things difficult for him. In the end, she forced him to break up with Huo Siyun.
After understanding all of this, Lu Xuemei felt an unimaginably strong sense of guilt.
She even began to hate herself for being so stupid. She couldn't even think of such a simple thing.
He looked at Lu Xuemei's face full of self-blame and regret.
There seemed to be thousands of words in his chest, but he could not say a single word for a long time.
Jiang Chen could not help but feel apologetic.
He wanted to continue speaking.
In the end, he only lowered his head slightly.
At this moment, in this situation.
A small action could be worth countless words.
In front of them, Lu Xuemei blushed.
He instinctively wanted to dodge, but in the next moment, he raised his head with determination.
His body trembled as he responded.
Jiang Chen noticed the change in the lover in his arms, and his heart was instantly stirred.
He knew that this time, he had completely passed the test.
Ever since he had transmigrated, the thing he had been most worried about had finally settled.
In his excitement, his movements unconsciously became more intense.
Even Lu Xuemei's slender legs were tightly pressed against the middle of the railing by him, so much so that she was starting to feel numb.
After a long time, their lips parted.
The two of them parted with red faces.
Jiang Chen turned his body slightly, wanting to catch his breath.
Just now, his heart was beating a little crazily.
However, what he did not expect was that the moment he let go…
Lu Xuemei's legs went limp and she fell to her knees.
Subconsciously, she squatted down to help him up.
At this moment, a surprised voice suddenly sounded outside the pavilion.
"Are you…in the wedding hall?"
Empress Dowager Zhang was dumbfounded as she looked at Lu Xuemei, who was kneeling in the pavilion with her knees together, and Jiang Chen, who had just knelt on one knee and had yet to put down the other.
The expression on his face was instantly exaggerated to the extreme.
Even though she was experienced and knowledgeable, she could not help but blush.
She almost staggered and fell at the entrance of the pavilion.
"What wedding?"
Before Empress Dowager Zhang could finish speaking, another voice sounded.
Jiang Chen turned around.
Behind Empress Dowager Zhang, Lu Xuemei's mother suddenly poked her head out.
Then, after seeing the scene in the pavilion, Mother Lu lost her balance and fell to the ground on the spot.
In the pavilion, Lu Xuemei heard a voice.
She turned around and saw that her pretty face was flushed red as if it was about to drip blood.
With a whoosh, he jumped up on the spot.
She was so embarrassed that she didn't even have a place to stand.
She could only lower her head and hide behind Jiang Chen. Her small hands tightly grabbed the edge of the clothes of the person in front of her, hiding herself tightly.
He pretended that no one could see him.
Then, she shook her head and whispered,"
"It's not…it's not what you think.”
On the other side, Empress Dowager Zhang and Mother Lu had just recovered from their initial shock.
They looked at each other.
He coughed dryly.
Her face was filled with embarrassment, and she had no idea how to deal with this strange scene.
He could only look around, pretending that the bamboo forest was beautiful and not looking at the pavilion.
However, Jiang Chen did not seem to care. There was no hint of shame on his face.
He patted the dust off his knees and pretended to be surprised.
"Ah, you guys actually found out?”
