Chapter 329 - 288-end Juvenile Abridged Version_7
Adjusting the disarrayed lapel of his clothing, Rong Zhi smiled faintly and said, "There is a saying, ’A long illness wearies the son’s devotion.’" In any place, it would be the same. He would not assume that if he were to live on, half-dead, and have Chu Yu take care of him, Chu Yu would stop loving him. However, such behavior would undoubtedly dilute and weaken the piercing heartache and tragic intensity that he had deliberately fabricated to be frozen in an eternal moment.
If that were the case, and he died in the end, Chu Yu might have been sadly heartbroken, but it would never have been as deeply engraved in her heart, and if he had ultimately survived, Chu Yu would not be as ecstatic and overwhelmed as she was today.
He chose that most tragic moment to decisively make his cut, leaving the deepest wound in her soul.
He was a cruel-hearted person; to achieve his goal, he was willing to hurt even the one he cherished, despite hearing from Guan Canghai every day how heartbroken Chu Yu was. Although it saddened him, he never wavered in the slightest, even going so far as to arrange a display of that grave by the river for her to see, as per the original plan.
He used the sharp weapon of death to make her wish she were dead, then allowed time to slowly torment her. After a while, when he was sure she had felt enough pain, he sent Liu Sang to open her heart.
By then, Chu Yu was already in the palm of his hand.
Later, there was a slight accident he didn’t anticipate; Tian Rujing actually entrusted the bracelet to Chu Yu, and at the moment he heard Chu Yu was leaving, he understood that she intended not to go someplace, but to leave this era behind and go to a future he could never touch.
Others might not know, but he, who knew Chu Yu’s background better than anyone, did understand.
Luckily, Chu Yu hadn’t planned to leave immediately, giving him some time to adjust. So he sent people to follow her all along the way and, after his injuries had somewhat healed, he quickly followed.
The Princess Mansion had been arranged by him long ago. Even if Chu Yu wanted to leave, she would surely come back here to reminisce. He had sent Moxiang back early to take care of things. On the surface, this place was the residence of a Southern Dynasty official, but in reality, it still belonged to him.
Everything that transpired after they met in the bamboo forest appeared to be just Chu Yu acting impulsively in her excitement, but in truth, it was his meticulous arrangement, luring her into the urn step by step.
