Chapter 494: Chapter 492: Long Hair Tied to His Heart: Yu Wei Side Story (18)

Song Wei, not knowing what good thing Madam Song and Song Wanwan were plotting, was urging Jun Yu to go back to rest.

"Ah Yu, it’s already late, do you think..." isn’t it about time to go back and rest?

The latter part of her words, Song Wei felt a bit embarrassed to say out loud. Because saying it directly would make it seem like she was trying to send Jun Yu away.

She had no intention of driving Jun Yu away. If Jun Yu wanted to stay with her, he could stay as long as he wished, just, just during the day is fine, but not at night.

After all, they were not married yet, and being reckless isn’t quite appropriate.

No matter how strong the feelings, there must be some restraint.

The unspoken words, Song Wei hoped Jun Yu could fill in the blanks himself, understand, and then leave on his own accord.

However, Jun Yu pretended not to understand, "Why? What does Xiao Wei want me to look at?"

"....." Huh? Look at what?

She hadn’t asked him to look at anything, rather wanting him to understand something.

Ah, he really knows how to play dumb...

Song Wei ground her teeth in frustration.

Jun Yu propped his chin on his hand, asking innocently, "Why isn’t Xiao Wei talking? And why are you gritting your teeth? Is it because what you wanted me to see isn’t ready yet?"

"I..."

Song Wei felt like she’d dug herself into a pit!

What did she have that Jun Yu could look at?

"It’s fine if there’s nothing to see, I just need to look at Xiao Wei."

Jun Yu, sweet-talking and full of energy, didn’t feel tired.

Primarily because he had slept during the day, he wasn’t the least bit sleepy now.

He wanted to spend more time with Song Wei.

Hua Hua, noticing the situation between the two, understood they had some private words to exchange. If they stayed any longer, it would be out of place.

Silently giggling to herself, Hua Hua discreetly led the other second-ranked maid in charge of sweeping and bed-making out of the room.

Only the two of them were left sitting face to face in the room.

The dim lamplight cast a warm hue over them, enveloping them in a soft, cozy glow, making the scene truly delightful and beautiful.

Song Wei’s face turned a deep shade of red from Jun Yu’s words, quite noticeable under the lamplight. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

She coughed a couple of times and promptly changed the subject, "Ah Yu, when will you return home?"

Jun Yu replied, "In a few days."

Seeing the tea in Jun Yu’s cup was finished, Song Wei poured him a little more, pushing it to the front of him, then said, "I heard that Dongchu defeated our Bei Xia this time."

Jun Yu picked up the cup and took a sip, but his gaze remained fixed on Song Wei’s face, not moving in the slightest. He said, "Yes, it’s thanks to my sister’s excellent battle plan that it went so smoothly; the victory is largely due to her."

Song Wei’s eyes glimmered, "I always hear you talk about your sister, she seems very impressive, she must be quite an extraordinary person!"

"Yes, she is extraordinary, she is the future Empress of Dongchu," Jun Yu said, "But she’s also your sister, one day, you’ll meet her."

Sister?

This, this, this, is far off yet.

Why did he bring it up again?

It feels like ever since he expressed his feelings, he’s like a horse without reins, able to bring up any sensitive topic directly.

Song Wei was a bit shy, not daring to meet Jun Yu’s eyes anymore.

But to be honest, she was quite delighted about the topic of sister-in-law he just mentioned, though her thin skin stopped her from delving deeper into it.

Lowering her head, she sipped her tea in small, quail-like sips.

After swallowing, she asked again, "Does Dongchu allow a woman to become an Empress? In Bei Xia, it’s not allowed."

At this point, Jun Yu’s eyes darkened, and he fell silent for a long while.

Song Wei thought she had touched a sore spot for Jun Yu, and just as she was about to say, "If it’s inconvenient for you to talk about, then never mind."

However, Jun Yu began to speak.

"My eldest brother was an impostor, the real one died a long time ago, and our very capable Crown Prince brother was killed by him..."

"As for the other dozen or so brothers, the imposter took care of a portion of the threatening ones when he was in power... and there are a few who from a young age had no ambitions, have grown up into hardly diligent men!"

"Then counting those who passed away suddenly or were disfigured..."

"All in all, there weren’t many left who could hold their own."

"Plus, with Dongchu plagued by internal and external troubles for many years, the Emperor didn’t want the rein to fall into the hands of those inept princes, so he pushed my sister onto that position under various pressures."

After finishing, Jun Yu poured himself a cup of tea, drinking it down in one gulp.

Even though it was just tea, he felt like it burned like strong liquor down his throat.

The matters of the imposter brother and disfigurement probably troubled him greatly!

The imposter brother had caused so much trouble, almost costing them the foundation of their country. And his disfigurement had seriously distanced him from the throne. The sister, who was meant to live a life of carefree innocence, was pushed out to bear responsibilities not meant for her...

Today, Song Wei finally understood why Jun Yu had been so desperate over his disfigurement, to the point of wanting to end it all, why he was once so decadent.

What he lost was not just his appearance, but his entire future.

Feeling his pain, Song Wei reached out and gently patted the back of Jun Yu’s hand, "Don’t be so upset, those things are all in the past now."

"Indeed, they are past, but I feel for my sister." Jun Yu sighed deeply, "She loves freedom, she was supposed to live a carefree life."

"But she had no choice..."

"Coupled with the fact that my sister is female and our mother is from the Alien Race, many people are wary of us, my sister sitting in that position wasn’t easy."

Jun Yu lamented, "She’s really gone through a lot of unimaginable hardships for ordinary people. Sometimes I can’t bear to watch when I see her being troubled by those ministers, afraid she won’t make it through, but fortunately, she did, and became much braver."

"It’s not easy for women to be heads of the household, let alone to be a ruler of a country." Song Wei expressed her understanding.

Jun Yu grasped Song Wei’s hand in return, "Xiao Wei, thank you for understanding."

Song Wei shook her head, "No need to thank me, in the future, we’ll just care more for our sister, and help her share some burdens."

Jun Yu looked at Song Wei with a smile, sharply catching the key point in her words, "...we?"

"I..." Song Wei scratched her head, not knowing how to explain.

They hadn’t gotten married yet, saying "we" did indeed sound inappropriate, too affectionate, as if she was already Jun Yu’s person.

And Judging by how Jun Yu had previously asked if she would marry him?

This "we" of hers effectively laid out her answer.

No, no, she hadn’t decided yet!

"I was in a rush, misspoke." Song Wei explained, waving her hand, "I actually meant to say, Ah Yu, when you marry the one you love in the future, you two should treat your sister well, yes, that’s it."

Having said that, Song Wei stood up and walked towards the window.

She needed to catch her breath.

Unknown to her, Jun Yu caught up, hugged her from behind, and whispered in her ear, "Then, Xiao Wei, tell me, who is it that I love?"
