Chapter 2406 - 2342: Not Even Joking Is Allowed

"So, are you planning to accept him?"

After dinner, Chen Yin went to wash the dishes. Chiang Xiao and Wang Yi each held a cup of tea, cozying up on the sofa chatting, when Chiang Xiao asked upon hearing some noise from the kitchen.

Wang Yi’s gaze drifted towards the kitchen, despite not being able to see.

She sighed lightly, saying, "To be honest, I love Chen Yin."

If she didn’t love him, why would she have been so heartbroken because of those things back then?

If she didn’t love him, why would she still be with him after all the heartbreak and pain?

She simply loves him.

Even when he was a bit cold to her in the past, she loved him.

Now that he is pursuing her, she loves him even more.

"I can see that." Chiang Xiao shook her head, saying, "I think you can’t escape Chen Yin’s grasp in this lifetime."

"What can you do?" Wang Yi sighed again, and said softly, "It’s said that once a woman falls into love, she turns into a fool, unable to see herself anymore. I think I’m still quite clear-headed. I know what Chen Yin is like, know he once wronged me, and know he’ll likely face more temptations in the future, but I know I love him, to the extent I’m willing to endure all of this."

She paused and said, "Besides, if I were to find someone else again, can I guarantee that he would always revolve around me, never make me angry, never make me sad, and never be tempted by other women? Human hearts are so complex and changeable, who can promise that? In that case, while I’m still in love now, why don’t I choose the one I love? Moreover, he loves me now too."

Chiang Xiao was silent for a moment, feeling that what she said made sense.

At least there’s still love.

Besides, just like the saying, "If you’re not a fish, how can you know the joy of a fish."

Perhaps being with Chen Yin is happier than starting to understand a stranger who’s never wronged her.

How can one guarantee that other men won’t be tempted by others?

Matters of the heart are really hard to explain clearly.

Chiang Xiao said, "Has Chen Yin been behaving quite well lately?"

"He’s been quite good lately." Wang Yi laughed, "It might be because people realize what they want only after losing something. Maybe Chen Yin now sees that I’m irreplaceable?"

"Hahaha, it’s possible. Your confidence is actually a good thing."

"Why do I feel like you’re slightly looking down on me?" Wang Yi glanced at her.

Chiang Xiao hurriedly said, "No, not at all, I’m telling the truth."

"What are you chatting about? So happy?" Chen Yin walked in, letting down the sleeves he had rolled up earlier.

"I’m always happy when I’m with Xiao Chiang."

Chiang Xiao said, "Why don’t we just get together then, kick Tyrant Meng and Chen Yin to the side, and the two of us can fall in love and get married."

"Pfft!"

"Cough, cough!"

Chen Yin and Wang Yi almost choked on their own saliva.

They both stared wide-eyed at Chiang Xiao, looking quite bewildered.

After a moment, Wang Yi reacted, and chuckled. "You scared me. But if you can abandon Commander Meng, then I surely can too."

"Dear oh dear, ancestors!" Chen Yin almost cried, "If Xinian heard that, none of us would fare well."

He pleaded, wouldn’t that be enough?

Even though it was a joke, someone certainly wouldn’t accept such a joke.

That person loves Chiang Xiao deeply, to the bones and flesh. Hearing such a joke would probably be unbearable.

So, don’t joke about this, I still want to live several more decades.
