Xiao Lian turned away slightly dejected. “I won’t go in.”
Yun Mei looked at the closed door, her sadness evident. Xiao Lian tugged at his clothes, “Come play in the snow with me.” When Yun Mei remained silent, his eyes grew teary, pulling her toward the snowy ground.
Snowflakes fell on their faces, cold and invigorating. When Yun Mei came to her senses, she found herself in swirling snowflakes, looking questioningly at Xiao Lian, who was pulling her.
Xiao Lian gave her a pained smile, “Let’s play in the snow together.”
Yun Mei paused, looking blankly at the snow-covered landscape, then at her clothing and delicate hands holding a hand warmer, and finally at Xiao Lian who was about to cry, reluctantly agreeing.
Jin Yu was slightly stunned, looking at his expectant eyes, saying nothing. She had originally planned to sleep here. Since they were husband and wife, he would eventually become hers.
Feeling Jin Yu’s gaze, Yun Mei lowered his head uneasily, his long eyelashes trembling, hiding the dimness in his eyes. Jin Yu sighed and embraced him. Having become more sensitive to emotional matters after getting intimate with Su Xi, she noticed that Yun Mei’s feelings towards her were no longer calm, even carrying some hatred. After Jin Mo returned, Yun Mei even hoped she could rescue him from pain, just as she had held onto Su Xi before. If she hadn’t discovered Yun Mei’s feelings towards her, she might not have left the Jin residence with a man who had no place for her in his heart.
Jin Yu softly whispered in Yun Mei’s ear, “Didn’t you notice that Xia Rong has already left the room?” This was the first time Jin Yu had spoken to Yun Mei so gently. When Xia Rong had brought in the medicine earlier, Jin Yu had instructed him to rest.
Yun Mei looked around the room in a daze, noticing Xia Rong was gone. Pondering Jin Yu’s words, his cheeks flushed, revealing shyness and a hint of sourness. “Is my wife really going to spend the night here with me?”
“Isn’t this what you wanted?” Jin Yu replied gently. “If you still can’t accept it, I’m not in a hurry.”
