Chapter 482 - As round as pearls and smooth as jade (1)

(T/N: Just in case this is confusing, this chapter is taking place shortly after Zhu Yurun miscarries off-screen in chapter 354. And, based on this chapter, I'm a.s.suming no one told Zhu Yurun about Qing Yingchen's visit in chapter 355.)

Zhu Yurun was bashfully standing below a tree. She was wearing a beautiful sky blue dress, and there was a backdrop of pink clouds. In the distance, Qian Yingchen was carrying a big bag of stuff. He approached her with a smile.

”I bought the braised meat from East Street, snacks from Fuman Restaurant, twisted steamed rolls from a street stall, and your favorite food, candied hawthorn.” His voice was very gentle, and his eyes were full of tender sentiments as he looked at her.

Zhu Yurun felt that she was too blessed. She shyly reached out to accept the food, but Qian Yingchen had already brought a piece of osmanthus cake to her lips. ”Here, open your mouth.”

(T/N: Below are pictures of various osmanthus cakes.)

”You...” Zhu Yurun was so touched that her eyes got teary. ”Have you stopped hating me?”

She had forced herself on him, and their child was gone. Had he stopped hating her?

Qian Yingchen lightly shook his head. ”Silly girl, how could I hate you?”

This definitely wasn't a dream. Zhu Yurun tearfully took a bite of the osmanthus cake. She kept thinking; this definitely wasn't a dream! Yingchen had finally forgiven her. They could happily spend their days together now. This definitely wasn't a dream!

”Miss, are you having a nightmare?” Standing nearby, Zhuer looked at her in concern.

Sure enough, it was only a dream. Zhu Yurun looked at the ceiling of her bed for a while before tugging her quilt over her head. She felt so resentful and bitter. Oh, why couldn't she have stayed in her dream for a bit longer? Just let her see Qian Yingchen being gentle for an extra moment.

”Your body is still weak from the miscarriage. Old Master has already ordered the kitchen servants to prepare whatever food you want to eat,” Zhuer blabbed on, ”It's fine if Sir Qian doesn't want to marry you. Old Master has already discussed the matter with Mister Ji. Once you're recovered, he'll still marry you.”

Zhu Yurun groaned and rolled away in her bed to face the wall. ”Let's talk about this later.”

The dream had been beautiful, but in reality, Qian Yingchen still hated her guts. Her child was gone, which meant her last connection with him was gone too.

What a pity. That little life had been in her body for so long, but now it was gone, just like that.

”Zhuer, Mister Ji is actually a pretty good person, right?” Zhu Yurun decided to comfort herself. ”His family has a prosperous business, and he has an attractive face. He doesn't have a wife or concubines, and he's a good person.”

Zhuer quickly nodded. ”Miss, have you finally come around?”
