The Marriage of an Esteemed Supreme Healer, a Noble Ruler-Chapter 2575 - Side Story 79: Marriage Letter

2575 Side Story 79: Marriage Letter

After keeping quiet for a moment, Mu Hongyu took the contract.

It was just a thin piece of paper, but at this moment, she felt that it weighed more than a thousand pounds.

There were countless times when she wanted to take this item back from Jian Fengchi, but the moment he really returned it to her, her chest hurt dully.

“Jian Fengchi.” She asked softly, “Do you know why I came to look for you today?”

Jian Fengchi looked down and stared at her. His eyes were like the sea, deep and bottomless, but there seemed to be waves surging in the dark.

He thought for a moment, smiled, and said, “Why? Do you need my help?”

Mu Hongyu rarely took the initiative to look for him. After much thinking, this was probably the only reason.

Mu Hongyu shook her head. “No.”

Jian Fengchi fell into deep thought again and rubbed his temples. Then, I really don’t know.

“…It seems like there’s nothing important. I’ll go and rest first then. Anyway, I’ve already returned this thing to you. You can go back in peace. You can do whatever you want in the future and be with whoever you want—”

He spoke halfway and suddenly pursed his lips. He couldn’t say the remaining half of the sentence no matter what.

He was sober and intoxicated at the same time. Hence, he knew that he was just using the alcohol to convince himself to return the contract to her with much difficulty. However, he really couldn’t say anything more.

How long had he been chasing this girl? How could he bear to let her be with someone else?

He didn’t say anything else. In the end, he looked at her deeply.

His gaze swept past her face in detail, as if he wanted to engrave it in his heart. Finally, he let go and moved his body to walk past.

Mu Hongyu suddenly pulled his wrist. “Hold on.”

She half-turned around. “Jian Fengchi, are you sure you’re really returning this to me?”

Jian Fengchi felt that he was really very drunk. He could actually see reluctance and reminiscence on her face.

“…Mm, I’ll return it to you.”

He laughed, and his eyes were flirtatious and especially charming. He looked very carefree. “Originally, this item was a freak combination of factors, and I took advantage of it. It’s only right for me to return it to you now.”

Mu Hongyu didn’t speak as she held the contract tightly.

Jian Fengchi also didn’t notice her current appearance. He just felt the night wind blow over, and the smell of alcohol overwhelmed him, causing him to feel increasingly uncomfortable.

His thin lips curled up slightly as he laughed. Then, he pressed his glabella and lazily said, “…Back then, I didn’t expect that not only did I not take any advantage at all, but I even lost everything.”

He had lost his entire person to her, but she refused to accept him.

Thinking of this, he smiled and shook his head as he turned around and walked to his room.

Mu Hongyu stood rooted to the ground and gazed at him hesitantly.

Seeing that Jian Fengchi’s steps seemed to stagger, she clenched her teeth and followed him, moving two steps behind him.

Jian Fengchi turned around to look at her.

His eyes were relaxed, and he looked over lazily. Perhaps because he was drunk, his blue eyes were especially deep.

Mu Hongyu felt guilty for some reason and hurriedly explained, “You’re quite drunk. I’ll leave after you go in.”

Jian Fengchi nodded and continued walking forward. After taking two steps, he suddenly chuckled. “This is the first time you’re chasing after me…”

Although they didn’t mean the same thing, it was still comforting at this point.

Perhaps the wine was too spicy and the night was too cold, so he suddenly didn’t want to think so much.

Mu Hongyu didn’t argue with him as she silently followed behind, as if she was really worried about her friend.

Creek!

Jian Fengchi came to the door, pushed it open, and walked in.

In the end, he was careless and tripped on the doorstep, and his body fell forward uncontrollably!

“Be careful!” Mu Hongyu’s reaction was extremely fast as she immediately flashed to Jian Fengchi and caught him.

Jian Fengchi was a big man after all. Now that he was drunk, his body was even heavier, and he almost brought Mu Hongyu down.

Mu Hongyu took half-step back and forcefully supported him.

But at this point, Jian Fengchi had almost completely jumped into her arms.

“Jian Fengchi?” She knitted her brows slightly.

Jian Fengchi held her shoulders.

However, just as Mu Hongyu thought that he was going to get up, he suddenly adjusted his position, placed his head on her shoulders, and gently rubbed against it.

His warm lips unwittingly brushed past her ear.

Mu Hongyu instantly widened her almond-like eyes.

He was extremely close to her, and he tilted his head. If he wasn’t careful, he would—

She patted Jian Fengchi.

But before she could speak, he suddenly heard him mutter something softly. They were very close to each other, so she could hear it very clearly. “Little heartless one…”

He closed his eyes tightly. As he was drunk, his face was flushed red.

He knitted his sharp brows slightly. When he whispered, his tone was actually very aggrieved.

For some reason, Mu Hongyu’s heart suddenly softened.

Jian Fengchi had always been arrogant and carefree. She had never heard him speak like this, nor seen him in such a state.

He was actually like… a child.

Mu Hongyu was rather helpless as she softly retorted, “Who doesn’t have a conscience? You’re really playing the blame game.”

He actually returned the contract to me!

Jian Fengchi seemed to have heard her words, and his chin gently rested on her shoulders. Then, he suddenly turned around and loudly scolded outside, “Yun Muchen, you’re talking nonsense! You’re spouting nonsense! You’re going to compensate for my reputation!”

Yun Muchen had long disappeared.

Mu Hongyu instantly felt her head ache. Is he drunk or not?!

“Okay, quickly go back and lie down!”

Jian Fengchi was dazed and turned around. However, his handsome and flirtatious face looked especially aggrieved and pitiful. “…I’ve been chaste for so many years, but I’ve never even hugged a lady’s waist. However, my wife doesn’t want me anymore…”

He looked down and laughed bitterly. “Even if I say it, I’m afraid nobody will believe me, right?”

Mu Hongyu looked at him calmly. After some time, she sighed lightly. “I believe you.”

Jian Fengchi looked unrestrained, but he wasn’t someone who messed around.

Mu Hongyu had known him for so long. Even if he had never explained it, she knew about it.

Jian Fengchi looked at her, and his eyes were as clear as when they first met. She said she believed me.

In an instant, it was as if a spark had fallen, burning his heart until it trembled slightly.

Almost uncontrollably, he took a step forward and held her face.

An uncontrollable urge attacked him.

He lowered his head slightly but finally stopped. He only closed his eyes and gently touched her forehead with restraint and cherish. “…Hongyu, you should go back quickly.”

He spoke hoarsely. “I’m afraid I—”

He was so afraid that he wouldn’t be able to hold himself back and kiss her.

He thought and thought crazily, but how could he bear to?

Mu Hongyu said, “Then, let go of me.”

Jian Fengchi’s chest felt stuffy, and he finally let go slowly. Even if he was drunk, he didn’t dare offend her at all.

However, Mu Hongyu didn’t leave as she raised the contract in her hands.

The room was very dark, but her almond-like eyes were especially bright.

She took his hand and put the item back.

Jian Fengchi’s entire body stiffened.

Mu Hongyu lightly said, “Jian Fengchi, I came to find you today to exchange something with you. I’ll use this contract to exchange for a marriage agreement with you, okay?”
