“Why?” Xu Yi tried to lift his head, but then realized his eyes were completely dark, and he hesitated to let her see.
Understanding his concern, Jinyu lifted his chin, meeting his misty eyes, and kissed his forehead, “No matter if you can see or not, I like you. I want to take you away from here.”
Xu Yi blushed and lowered his head, questioning if he had misheard Jinyu’s declaration of affection. Leaning closer to her, he asked, “Is it true that he is pregnant?” Rumors had circulated about a male prostitute carrying the Jinyu family master’s child. Secluded and unaware, Xu Yi had learned this only today.
At his words, Jinyu’s heart skipped a beat. After a moment, she quietly replied, “Yes,” tightening her embrace around him.
After a silence, Xu Yi parted his lips, “I want our baby too.” He understood he wouldn’t be her only partner, but with her willingness to marry him, he felt content. He had always blamed himself for the loss of the baby two years ago.
Jinyu felt guilty, knowing her current condition might hinder conception. Noting her silence, Xu Yi quickly said, “It’s okay. Just being with you is enough…”
Interlacing their fingers, Jinyu responded, “We can have a baby after we get married.”
Xu Yi blushed again, wondering, “When are we leaving?” Would she marry him when they left? He smiled, “I’ll have Huayan pack our things, but… how do I tell my mother? Will she let me leave with you…?”
Jinyu comforted him, “You don’t need to say anything. In a few days, I’ll come to the Xu family to fetch you and speak with your mother.”
“Okay,” Xu Yi felt relieved, “I’ll follow you wherever you go,” never wanting to be apart.
Now, Yun Mei feels fortunate that although they did not end up together, his cruelty might lead him to a better place. Their marriage was forced, but he willingly followed Jin Yu.
Jin Mo always felt guilty towards Yun Mei because the poison in “Jin Yu” was related to him. She pushed Yun Mei towards “Jin Yu” and Xu Yi, reluctantly sacrificing him.
“You’re here… is there something?” Yun Mei asked faintly, feeling awkward but reconciled.
