Chapter 303: One More Update
Ju Nanyi slowly approached, unaware of why he had come. His mind was filled with countless reasons why he shouldn’t have come, yet here he was.
Ju Nanyi took a deep breath; he had come for her safety, yet not solely for that reason. It was no longer appropriate to keep his men by her side, but he had overheard something about today’s events from Nanyi without intention, and how could he not come?
Zheng Nianru suddenly turned around, just as Ju Nanyi was about to fortify his last line of defense, to lock his heart away within the confines of worldly ethics. In that moment, Zheng Nianru turned her head, and Ju Nanyi distinctly heard his heart’s lock break.
Ju Nanyi was unwilling to admit it, standing in place, maintaining his last bit of stubbornness.
Zheng Nianru had already gotten up and was walking towards Ju Nanyi with joy, her blue-dyed gauze dancing in the air, blurring everything around her.
"Brother Crown Prince, you came?" Zheng Nianru seemed in good spirits.
Some realizations bring relief, much better than clinging to agonizing despair. Suddenly, Zheng Nianru felt an urge to let go of the future, disregard the present, and recklessly abandon herself to her whims.
Once this thought took root in her mind, it sprouted and spread rapidly.
"Nian Ru, you..." Ju Nanyi didn’t know what to say. At this moment, she shouldn’t be in good spirits, crying her eyes out, still unmarried, and already incurring the displeasure of Eldest Madam Zong. Any typical girl would be upset.
