Chapter 281 The Most Beautiful Bride in the World

Such resolute words sent a chill down Pei Jingchuan's spine, but Jiang Yuyue did not stop talking because of his reaction.

“I already made it clear to you before that there is no possibility between us.”

Jiang Yuyue's voice wasn't loud, but her tone was exceptionally cold. "Even without Xie Yunqi and Song Jinglan interfering, you and I would never have been destined to be husband and wife."

At this point, Jiang Yuyue's gaze towards him became even more sarcastic. "Now, Young Master Pei is shamelessly promising me that he can help me put on an act. Have you forgotten how disdainful they were of my family's background when you suggested that my uncle and aunt propose marriage to my family?"

"Young Master Pei can't even decide his own marriage, so don't fantasize about some hero saving the beauty scene. Even if I were to marry you, Madam Pei and Master Pei would look down on a merchant's daughter like me. Young Master Pei is extremely respectful to his parents and would never dare to disobey them. How could you possibly protect me and prevent me from being wronged?"

Such sharp words left Pei Jingchuan speechless. After a long while, he could only manage a bitter laugh, "So you really are still blaming me..."

Seeing his indecisive appearance, Jiang Yuyue felt even more agitated and really didn't want to say anything more to him. She picked up the veil and put it back on her head.

"If Young Master Pei truly cares about me, then let's not dwell on these worldly matters anymore. From now on, you go your way and I'll go mine. It's best if we don't have any more contact."

After saying this, Jiang Yuyue made a move to open the door and leave, but Pei Jingchuan called her back again.

"and many more."

Pei Jingchuan seemed somewhat lost and stared blankly at Jiang Yuyue, uttering a sentence with considerable difficulty.

"I just want to ask one more question: all these years, have you... have you ever had feelings for me?"

Pei Jingchuan's eyes were almost pleading. Although he looked pitiful, Jiang Yuyue had no intention of letting him have any more hope.

"Never."

Jiang Yuyue's answer was delivered without hesitation, her eyes unusually cold, while Pei Jingchuan took a deep breath upon hearing it.

"I understand."

Pei Jingchuan forced a smile that looked more like a grimace, his voice trembling slightly, "Then I wish... Miss Jiang all the best."

Jiang Yuyue noticed the change in his form of address, her expression shifted slightly, but she didn't say anything more, only saying calmly, "Thank you."

After saying this, she stepped out of the room. Pei Jingchuan gave a bitter laugh, drank the two glasses of wine on the table in one gulp, and then also walked out of the room.

Jiang Yuyue thought about what he had just said and figured he wouldn't bother her again, so she felt a little relieved. However, just as she stepped outside the Tongfu Inn, a little man suddenly grabbed her leg.

"Mother!"

Jiang Yuyue looked down and saw that it was indeed her Mo'er, while Jiang Huanxi stood aside, looking at him with a hint of helplessness.

Jiang Yuyue was somewhat surprised to see that Jiang Qimo recognized her so quickly, so she squatted down and teased him.

"You little brat, I'm wearing a veil, how do you know I'm your mother? What if you call me the wrong person?"

"I will never admit my mistake."

Jiang Qimo rubbed his head against Jiang Yuyue, "Even if Mother covers her face, Mo'er can still recognize her!"

Such coquettish words made Jiang Yuyue affectionately pinch his nose, and this intimate scene fell into the eyes of Pei Jingchuan, who came out from behind, which made him stand there dumbfounded.

He was someone who frequently walked in front of the emperor, and he knew the appearance of the current emperor of Wanqi very well. The child in front of him who called Jiang Yuyue "mother" looked almost exactly like the current emperor!

Judging from the child's age, it turns out they had already...

Although he had already decided to let go of Jiang Yuyue, Pei Jingchuan really didn't expect that she and that person had developed to such an extent, and even... their child was already so big.

It was Jiang Huanxi who first noticed Pei Jingchuan's expression. He knew that this person recognized Song Jinglan, and immediately thought to himself that something was wrong. He quickly stepped forward and stood in front of Jiang Qimo.

"Ah Xi, there's no need to hide it."

Jiang Yuyue also saw Pei Jingchuan, and her tone was unusually calm. After all, she couldn't let Mo'er disguise herself forever. Pei Jingchuan would find out about this sooner or later, so there was really no need to hide it from him.

Hearing this, Jiang Huanxi slowly lowered her guard, while Jiang Yuyue smiled gently, bent down and picked up Jiang Qimo in her arms with gentle and skillful movements. She carried the child into the carriage and then called out to Jiang Huanxi.

"Ah Xi, let's go home together."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Huanxi unconsciously turned around and glanced at Pei Jingchuan twice.

Over the years, Pei Jingchuan had visited the Jiang family quite often. Although Jiang Huanxi had initially considered matchmaking him with her sister, as time went by, she realized that he was not a good match. Therefore, she didn't say much, but simply bowed slightly to Pei Jingchuan, bid him a polite farewell, and then got into the carriage with him.

The carriage moved slowly, heading towards the Jiang residence. Although the wedding preparations were proceeding smoothly, Jiang Huanxi felt somewhat uneasy.

"Sister, is there any news from the capital?"

"What kind of commotion could there be?"

Jiang Yuyue, on the other hand, was unusually calm and composed, pinching Jiang Qimo's little face in her arms, "The capital is thousands of miles away. Even if he travels through the night, he won't be able to catch up. Once Yuan-gege and I have paid our respects to our parents, I will be a married woman. Does he really intend to do something like forcibly taking a wife?"

Although Jiang Yuyue spoke with certainty, Jiang Huanxi still couldn't be completely at ease. Now that the die was cast, he could only take it one step at a time.

"Will Mother be wearing the wedding dress that Grandmother prepared in two days?"

Jiang Qimo blinked and looked at him, seemingly even more excited than Jiang Yuyue. "That dress is beautiful. If Mother wore it, she would definitely be the most beautiful bride in the world!"

These words made Jiang Yuyue raise her eyebrows. She had thought that her Mo'er would have some reservations about her marrying someone else, but now it seemed that he had happily accepted it.

However, this is for the best. It's fortunate that Song Jinglan didn't have much contact with him back then, otherwise, if this child had started causing trouble, it would have been really difficult to manage the situation.

"You're such a smooth talker."

Jiang Yuyue curled her finger and gently stroked the bridge of his nose. "Then when we get back, Mother will try it on for you first, okay?"

Jiang Qimo nodded repeatedly and readily agreed, "Okay!"
