Chapter 253 - Something Amiss (1/2)

Jianjun looked at her in confusion before using his eyes to scan the place. Thankfully, the other people present there were a bit far so they weren't paying attention to the crying Changyu, and were busy minding their businesses while getting all mushy with their spouses.

”You sent me many letters?” He asked again before adding. ”I never received any letters”

Changyu slowly raised her head to look at him with her red teary eyes. ”What do you mean by you didn't receive any letters? Anna helped me send them at least twice a week. Why are you pretending like you don't remember?” The more she spoke, the harder she cried.

Damn it! She is Changyu! What the hell was she doing crying in public because of a man?

She inwardly scolded herself.

Jianjun looked at her with a look of bafflement before sitting down beside her. He looked straight into her eyes and shook his head.  ”I...really didn't receive any letters from you except that one. But I did send a lot of letters with the hope of you sending a response one day. But that particular letter was the only one I received.  I swear it”

He still remembered the year and period everything happened. For days, he didn't see her. When he later saw her, they had both gotten into an argument because he had refused to elope with her.

He had thought that she was simply avoiding him because she was still angry so he hadn't thought of the possibility that something else was probably wrong with her.

It had all started one evening.

Like every other couple, they had both gone out on the night of New year's eve, to spend the new year with each other.

Changyu had told him she had a special place in mind and had taken him to a Villa she claimed was her Uncle's.

He had been slightly curious and asked how she got the keys but she told him she was very close with her uncle and so he had given her the keys willingly.

From the look of it, Jianjun could guess that whoever her uncle was, he was really rich, since the Villa looked similar to theirs and he was vaguely aware of the amount his father had used to purchase it.

”Wow..It's warm in here.”

She quickly pulled off the Coat she was wearing and threw it on the Sofa drunkenly.

”Put it back on. You might catch a cold” The young Jianjun said with a blush when he saw her bare shoulders since she was wearing an handless dress and boot.

”Are you blushing?” She teased him while pinching his cheek.

”I'm not. Come on.. Wear it.”

”You are. You are blushing.. How cute” She giggled and continued to tease him.

”Stop being naughty. See why I told you not to drink too much. You are drunk already” He complained.

”I'm not.” She said with a pout. ”If you want me to wear it back then kiss me first” She offered him her puckered lips.

Jianjun chuckled at her antics and tried to make her sit on the sofa but she adamantly refused and kept asking him to kiss her first.

”Be a good girl and let me dress you up” He said as he tried to drape the coat around her shoulders but her teasing words stopped him.

”I'd prefer you take off the rest.” She said with a mischievous glint in her eyes.

Jianjun coughed awkwardly and ruled it as a joke. But looking at her eyes, he knew she was serious because she already began to strip.

He had thought he had control but that night, he knew he couldn't control himself when it came to her. He had fallen deeply and there was nothing else he could have done about it.

”How much do you love me?” Changyu asked sleepily as she snuggled closer to him on the large sofa.
