Chapter 827: Chapter 585: Confessing Their True Feelings to Each Other, Admitting to the National Master about Impersonation_2

One who always indulged in food and sleep, a person who didn’t care about anything else, when he did take something seriously, was even more earnest than himself.

"I’m not giving up on you just because of promises and responsibilities. I’m an adult, and I understand my feelings for you. But I also can’t deny my feelings for Feng Wuyou. If I never forget her, I’ll go find her."

"Having such feelings for two women, even I find it unbelievable, yet, the fact remains. We are husband and wife by marriage and cannot be separated."

He emphasized the last sentence on purpose.

As expected, Shen Chuwei smiled helplessly with her anticipated agreement.

"Who would have thought such a clichéd plot would fall upon us? If only you could always remember Feng Wuyou, that would be great. You would still be you, and I would still be me, just like when we first arrived here. You wouldn’t have to be so tangled and guilty, and I wouldn’t have to experience what I shouldn’t have to. Wouldn’t we all be happier?"

Xiao Jinyan hugged her tightly from behind. He held her so closely, as if afraid she would suddenly disappear again.

"Do you know how afraid I was when I saw the letter you left? Promise me, please don’t leave in secret again, okay?"

Shen Chuwei bowed her head, and Xuetuan lay quietly and motionless in her arms. After a few seconds of silence, she looked up at Xiao Jinyan and said, "I’m hungry. I want to eat."

Xiao Jinyan hadn’t eaten since he came out, which was the main reason his voice was hoarse. He was actually hungry too, but his mind was entirely focused on finding Chuwei, so he had ignored it.

"Then let’s go back."

Xiao Jinyan said as he removed his outer robe, wrapped her petite body inside, and then fastened it.

After doing all this, he spurred the horse toward the imperial capital.

The steed raced, the cold wind howled, chilling to the bone.

Shen Chuwei huddled in Xiao Jinyan’s arms, feeling cold despite wearing an extra piece of clothing.

By the time they returned to the imperial capital, it was already late at night, and they nearly couldn’t enter the city due to the curfew.

Most restaurants in the imperial capital had already closed for the night, except for a very few that were still open.

Xiao Jinyan chose a restaurant with good dishes. After dismounting, he carried her straight in.

At that moment, Shen Chuwei didn’t care about her appearance as an elderly woman and let Xiao Jinyan carry her inside.

The waiter greeted them with a smile but stiffened when he saw the handsome young man holding an old woman, almost thinking he was seeing things.

"What would you like to eat, sir?"

Xiao Jinyan reserved a private room and ordered some of Shen Chuwei’s favorite dishes.

With just a few patrons in the restaurant, Xiao Jinyan carried Shen Chuwei, following the waiter to the second-floor private room. The dishes were served one after another without much wait.

After the waiter brought the last dish of Braised Pork, he said cheerfully, "Sir, your dishes are all served. Please enjoy your meal." Then he left.

Shen Chuwei was indeed hungry, and the aroma of the food made her even hungrier. She picked up chopsticks, glanced at the dishes in front of her, which included Braised Pork, and sent a piece into her mouth. Then she took a bite of rice. She had been craving Braised Pork, and not having eaten rice all day, it was truly delicious.

Xiao Jinyan drank several sips of water from his tea cup to moisten his throat, but his eyes never left Shen Chuwei. Seeing her eating, he could tell she must be very hungry.

After drinking a cup of tea, he finally started to eat, chewing slowly.

Xuetuan sat quietly on another chair, eating its fish.

During the meal, Shen Chuwei didn’t say a word and ate five bowls of rice until her stomach could hold no more, and then she stopped.

She wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, not noticing that she had rubbed off the old age makeup around her lips, unaware of it.

Xiao Jinyan looked at her makeup, which made her indistinguishable from a woman in her fifties or sixties. Walking down the street, she wouldn’t easily be recognized, not even by people who knew her well.

This appearance was likely how she would look in her thirties, years from now.

After wiping her face, Shen Chuwei noticed Xiao Jinyan staring at her and suddenly remembered her current look with the elderly makeup, which was an ugly one.

"How did I do with the makeup? Is it ugly?"

Xiao Jinyan praised, "You did well. Everyone gets old, and a face full of wrinkles isn’t ugly."

"It’s not ugly? I even dislike looking at it." Shen Chuwei touched her own face and said, "When I’m in my fifties or sixties, I’m sure I’ll look better than this."

Xiao Jinyan nodded in agreement.

"Wait here for me. I’m going to remove the makeup," Shen Chuwei said as she stood up and started to walk out.

Xiao Jinyan also stood up and walked over to her. "I’ll come with you."
