Chapter 582 - 561 First Update
Zheng Congyuan looked at the young girl before him, unsure of what to say. Was she using a dream to cover up the current situation?
He didn’t want to hear about any dream. Could it make time go back to when nothing had happened, or change anything about the present?
"You don’t want to hear it?" Seeing Zheng Congyuan’s expression, Zheng Nianru really wanted to speak, to tell him some things he didn’t know, but obviously, Zheng Congyuan didn’t want to listen, as if he was trapped in his own world, like in his past life, unable to hear others’ words.
Even though she had some regrets about turning the high and mighty Zheng Congyuan into a prisoner, making their relationship even tenser, she had tried to make amends. She even thought that if he could let go of everything, she would be willing to cede the throne to Zheng Congyuan.
"Nian Ru, I’d rather..." die than have you do such things just to save me.
Zheng Nianru gave a faint smile.
"Die? You almost died once, what could be more important than living? Or, is it that you despise it?" Zheng Nianru spoke slowly, thinking that her relationship with Zheng Congyuan had already transcended that stage. After all, in the past life, when she married Ju Nanyi, Zheng Congyuan didn’t seem too heartbroken.
Zheng Congyuan opened his mouth, a bewildered expression on his face, yet he didn’t shake his head.
"If you had died, Ju Nanyi would have taken me away. Then what? I survive on my own? How do I survive? Or is it that you intended to entrust me to Ju Nanyi, knowing full well what might eventually happen between us? What’s the difference between that and the current moment? Why would you sacrifice your life again—" Zheng Nianru stood up, unable to believe Zheng Congyuan was still as foolish as in his previous life. Did he really need to sacrifice his life to show his worth? Did he really need to live so miserably?
Zheng Congyuan looked at the young girl before him, his expression slightly stunned. He had indeed had such thoughts. Besides, Ju Nanyi was not...
"Ju Nanyi is not an unreliable person..."
Zheng Nianru looked at Zheng Congyuan before her, so, was this a coincidence?
