Chapter 93 One Effort
The conversation ended unhappily. Looking at Mo Xuan, whose face was ashen with anger, Mo Chen felt that he was somewhat unfamiliar. This younger brother in front of him seemed different.
Qingyin was also quite angry. She knew her own son too well. Since he had already said so much, she naturally couldn't really force him. So she called Bairu over and asked her about the woman.
Bai Ru didn't like Lu Jinyan either, so naturally she wouldn't say anything nice about her. However, she wasn't one to gossip, so she simply told the truth of what she had seen.
However, Qingyin could still see a hint of disgust in Bai Ru's eyes. Yes, Bai Ru loved Xuan'er no less than she did, so she naturally hoped that Xuan'er would find a woman of equal status to marry.
The two talked in the room for a long time, and no one knew what they said. However, Qingyin did not send anyone to propose marriage, nor did she mention marriage again.
Mo Chen didn't care about these things; all he could think about were the words Mo Xuan had said that day. Looking at the woman nestled beside him, Mo Chen spoke with a touch of heartache.
"Ah Yao, have you ever resented me?"
"Achen, what's wrong with you today? Why are you suddenly asking this?" Mengyao, who had been leaning against Mochen's chest, asked with some confusion. She felt that Achen had been acting strangely these past two days.
"It's nothing, I just wanted to know. Over the years, have you ever resented me? You could have lived a carefree life, found a husband who loved and cherished you, but you had to meet me. You must have suffered a lot of grievances in the manor over the years, right?" Mo Chen's voice was somewhat forlorn.
“Ayao is not wronged, Ayao does not resent you. Being with you is enough for Ayao. I chose this path myself, and I voluntarily chose to be with you. When I chose you, I knew what I would face, but I still chose you without hesitation. Achen, I don’t care about titles or power struggles. I just want to be with you. As long as I am with you, I am content. You don’t need to worry about me. I know that you will eventually marry a wife.”
I know your ideals and ambitions. So, Achen, I don't blame you. As long as you have me in your heart, that's enough. Ayao doesn't ask for much; she only wishes that Achen's wishes can be fulfilled, and that our child can grow up safely and smoothly. As long as Achen has me in his heart, that's enough!
Mengyao's eyes were red and she was choked up. Did she really not resent it? No, she did resent it, but what could she do? Life still had to go on. She couldn't leave Achen, and Achen couldn't marry her. Rather than saying it and making everyone unhappy, it was better not to say anything.
Mo Chen hugged the woman in his arms even tighter. He knew, he knew everything. He wasn't stupid. Did she think he didn't understand just because she didn't say anything?
But the more she acted this way, the more his heart ached. Perhaps he could try to make an effort, to try for the one he loved.
On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the heavy snow finally stopped. Looking at the sky beginning to clear, Lu Jinyan breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, she could set off.
These past few days, all they've done is eat and play mahjong. If this continues, they'll all become mahjong masters. The main problem is that her wallet won't be able to keep up.
She plays every day and loses every day. She doesn't understand why she always loses!
After learning that Lu Jinyan and the others were leaving, Lin Churan offered to travel with them, as she had originally planned to continue her travels after the New Year, and this was just a little earlier than planned.
Lu Jinyan did not refuse. Firstly, after spending these days together, she found that Lin Churan seemed to care about nothing but cultivation, eating, and playing mahjong.
She didn't even glance at Ruohan, such a handsome man, which made Lu Jinyan wonder if the Lin Churan in front of her was really the same Lin Churan from the original story.
It's unclear whether her arrival changed the plot or if Lin Churan was always like this, but she genuinely liked Lin Churan, since it's hard not to like someone with her looks and personality.
After confirming the time, the group packed their belongings and then boarded the carriage. Fortunately, Lu Jinyan's carriage was large enough that even with one more person, it didn't feel crowded at all.
Yuan Yi and Du Che were still in charge of driving the carriage. Although the snow had stopped, the road was icy, making it difficult for the carriage to travel. Fortunately, Yuan Yi and Du Che were experienced and carefully controlled the horses, moving slowly forward.
Lin Churan sat inside the carriage, feeling the chill outside, yet she couldn't help but smile. She didn't know what she would encounter on this journey, but with her good friend Lu Jinyan by her side, and her companions Chuchu, Ruohan, Yuan Yi, Du Che, Liu Qing, and Liu Xu, she felt very warm and at ease.
"Chu Ran, are you cold?" Lu Jinyan asked with concern when she noticed that Lin Chu Ran's complexion was not very good.
"It's nothing, I just might have caught a bit of a chill, so I'm a little dizzy," Lin Churan shook her head and replied with a smile.
The weather has been very cold these past few days, and she doesn't know when she caught a chill.
"Would you like some hot tea?" Lu Jinyan said, picking up a teapot from the small charcoal stove, pouring a cup of hot tea, and handing it to Lin Churan.
"Thank you, Jin Yan." Lin Chu Ran took the hot tea, took a small sip, and immediately felt warm all over.
"Hey, we're like family, why are you being so polite? You rest for a bit, and when we get to our next stop, I'll go buy you some medicine for a cold!" Lu Jinyan thought to herself, it was her oversight that she should have kept some medicine on her at all times.
With more and more friends around her now, she still needs to prepare some common medications just in case. Although she has a system, she can't rely on it for everything.
Once she reaches her next destination, she'll need to go to the clinic to buy some medicine to keep on hand!
"It's alright, I'll be fine after a rest, I don't need any medicine!" Lin Churan smiled and patted Lu Jinyan's hand, feeling warm inside. It felt so good to have someone care about you!
Yuan Yi and Du Che drove the carriage ahead. Although the road was icy, their carriage moved steadily forward. They both knew that the journey might be long and difficult, but they did not complain, because it was their duty.
Lin Churan looked at Lu Jinyan sitting beside her, and a smile unconsciously appeared on her lips. She realized that she didn't just have a good impression of Lu Jinyan, but had truly fallen in love with her. She liked her cheerfulness, kindness, and courage, as well as her intelligence, wit, and independence.
