Because of love, he cherished her deeply and couldn’t bear to wrong her.
He wouldn’t make Yun Jinnian feel uncomfortable.
There was a moment when Yun Jinnian almost agreed, but her rationality prevailed, she had many things yet to do, "Give me some time to think, I’m still young, I don’t want to get married so early!"
She was only thirteen now, and would turn fourteen after the New Year.
Chu Yu’s intentions were good, but once she married Chu Yu, it wouldn’t be too convenient for her to go out anymore.
"Then don’t you dare marry anyone else, don’t agree to any marriage proposal, and if the Emperor arranges some match, just refuse it. I have my ways to make him take back his word!"
Yun Jinnian gave a slight nod and took a deep breath, "You better let me go now, I need to check on Sister Xiang. You overturned the table, and there’s broken crockery all over the floor, she must be hurt!"
"Don’t mind her, lest she remains unrepentant!"
Yun Jinnian took a deep breath, "Actually, it’s not unjustified what she did!"
Chu Yu was already nineteen, and if he’d married early, he could have had children calling him father.
It’s understandable that Princess Jinfeng was anxious.
"Don’t speak for her, don’t plead for her, and certainly don’t..."
Chu Yu kept saying ’don’t’, and Yun Jinnian, feeling annoyed, didn’t think twice before raising her hand and kissing his lips.
That finally silenced him.
However, Chu Yu’s eyes went wide, soon turning to delight.
Bewildered, just as he thought to kiss her back, Yun Jinnian pushed him away and ran out blushing.
Chu Yu chuckled to himself, stood up, and shouted toward the outside, "Luoyi, take Jinnian to Jinfeng Academy!"
The joy in his voice couldn’t be hidden, not to mention anger, even the shadow of irritation was gone.
He then returned to the inner room, quickly took off his clothes, swam a few laps in the big bathtub, slapped the water a few times, then dressed, rapidly dried his hair, and planned to apologize to Jinfeng as soon as Yun Jinnian left.
Because of her unreasonable antics today, he had tasted something wonderful.
It could be considered a balance of faults and merits.
Yun Jinnian left the courtyard with a blushing face, and Luoyi immediately greeted her with respect, "Fourth Miss!"
Yun Jinnian acknowledged softly.
She felt that her entire body was burning hot.
In her past life, she had been married to Chu Liange for over a decade, but she had never initiated a kiss with him.
Even if he kissed her, she felt stifled, domineering, without a trace of feeling cherished.
The wedding night was nothing more than pain, and nothing else.
But the kiss from Chu Yu had left her mind muzzy, her entire being in a daze, unable to find her bearings.
Luoyi led the way in front, also daring not to look back at Yun Jinnian.
Chu Yu had been drugged with an aphrodisiac, and at first, he lingered alone in the room for a while, while the woman sent to his bed was now a corpse.
Luoyi didn’t know how Yun Jinnian had pacified Chu Yu, but the furious Chu Yu indeed held Yun Jinnian as he brought her in, and Yun Jinnian, with a blushing face coming out after, seemed to be in a better mood.
Luoyi didn’t understand love between men and women and had no girl he fancied, making Chu Yu’s joy even more incomprehensible to him.
Before reaching Princess Jinfeng’s courtyard, Yun Jinnian already heard the sounds of fighting and the angry shouts of Hemei and Henuan.
Si Qin and Si Ju were strong in martial arts and had been through a hundred battles. Hemei and Henuan were not bad either, but they still lacked actual combat experience and were somewhat at a disadvantage in the fight.
Hearing the noise, Yun Jinnian quickened her pace, turned the archway, and saw four people paired off, shadows flickering back and forth under the dim lanterns, she hurriedly said, "Stop fighting!"
