Yun Jinnian’s voice was light, yet when Chu Yu heard it, he felt somewhat afraid.
"Put yourself in my shoes, if I lived under the same roof with another man for over a year, even if nothing happened, wouldn’t you feel uneasy?" Yun Jinnian countered.
More than just uneasy, he thought about killing that man.
"Jinnian, I know I was wrong!"
"Since you know you were wrong, and I trust you, it’s getting late. You should go back, I need to visit the Zhuangyong Marquis Residence again tomorrow!"
After visiting the Zhuangyong Marquis Residence, she didn’t plan to have lunch there. She needed to make a trip to the Liao Family to see Yun Zihan.
In the Yun Family, the only person who could make her worry was Yun Zihan.
Chu Yu looked at Yun Jinnian and took a deep breath, "Then you should rest early!"
Although the two of them hadn’t quarreled, Chu Yu still felt uneasy and didn’t dare to stay and bother Yun Jinnian.
He stood up anxiously and got ready to leave.
"Chu Yu!" Yun Jinnian called out softly.
At her words, Chu Yu felt overjoyed.
"Wait for a moment!" Yun Jinnian got up and went into the inner chamber, opened her wardrobe, and took out a bundle.
Opening the bundle, inside was a black cloak.
The edges were lined with sable fur, very warm.
She had seen some fine sable fur in the storehouse while she was in Nanjiang, both large and pure white, without a single stray hair, and had taken some to make something for Chu Yu.
The black brocade was lined with silk wadding, each corner sewn very securely.
Holding the cloak, Yun Jinnian came out and handed it to Chu Yu, "This is for you. The night road is cold; don’t catch a chill!"
She thought for a moment and then personally draped it over Chu Yu.
"Ayu, stay true to your heart, and I will always be by your side!"
Chu Yu reached out and held Yun Jinnian tightly in his arms, "Jinnian, I was certain about you when I was sixteen. After nearly five years of twists and turns, how could I forget!"
In those five years, he had encountered exceptionally beautiful women, but not one stirred his heart.
Nor made him want to risk his life to protect them. Yun Jinnian was the only one!
"I’ve always had faith in you, and this time is no different. I believe you can handle it well, but I hope there won’t be a next time!"
"There definitely won’t be a next time!"
When Chu Yu left, the feelings within him were indescribable.
His heart was warm, the wetness on his back, even his hands and feet were trembling.
Upon returning to the Prince Rui Residence, Chu Yu had Luo’er pack his belongings; he wanted to go find Princess Jinfeng, and also to bring her back along with him. Yun Jinnian would be coming of age next year, and having Princess Jinfeng by her side would be very helpful.
But after more than a year, he was unsure how Jinfeng was doing.
Even though her letters always said she was fine, without any trouble, he always felt like Jinfeng was hiding something from him.
However, before Chu Yu could even leave, he received a letter from Princess Jinfeng, sent by her people. She was already on her way to the Capital City, saying that she had a big surprise for him.
Chu Yu caressed the cloak Yun Jinnian had made for him, unable to put it down.
His heart felt happily warm.
"I always feel like Jinfeng is going to give me a shock!"
Luo’er didn’t know what to say.
Princess Jinfeng was known to hold grudges; he didn’t dare speak ill of her behind her back.
"Well, since Jinfeng is coming, I should go find Zhaowei. That lad apparently got a treasured item; I’ll see if I can snatch it to give to Jinnian!"
Chu Yu added, "Go find out what it is, and don’t let him fool me!"
After Chu Yu left, Yun Jinnian sat up until dawn.
In her previous life, when it came to love, she was clueless; she worked hard to learn to be worthy of Chu Liange, but despite learning so much, if her feelings weren’t sincere, it was all futile.
