Transmigrating to a Female-Dominated World: Handsome Men Keep Chasing After Me

Chapter 333

Nalan Jingwen also stopped and turned to look at him.

Pei Yunche just stared at her blankly. In the moonlight, you could clearly see the tears welling up in his eyes, his eyes were red, and his expression was dazed.

His lips trembled as he tried to control his surging emotions and asked in a calm voice, "Where to?"

"Xuzhou is suffering from frost and snow disasters, and there is no one in the court who can go. I am the most suitable candidate."

Nalan Jingwen's voice was flat, and looking at his distraught appearance, there was no discernible emotion in his voice.

"Do you have to go?"

His nose tingled, and he tried his best to hold back the tears that were about to spill from his eyes. He had already tried his best to suppress his emotions, but you could still hear the sob in his voice.

Nalan Jingwen didn't try to coax him; he simply said indifferently, "You know me, don't you?"

Yes, he understands her. Since Nalan Jingwen has spoken out, it means that this decision is not to be questioned and no one is allowed to interfere.

He knew her best, and that's precisely why he was even more heartbroken.

Pei Yunche's dark eyelashes trembled, and with a gentle blink, glistening tears rolled down his cheeks. He hurriedly lowered his head to wipe away his tears, but for some reason, the tears seemed to flow endlessly, no matter how he wiped them away.

Nalan Jingwen watched his movements, her eyes flickered, but eventually returned to calm.

Pei Yunche stopped wiping away his tears. His eyes were still glistening with tears, but he still managed a stiff smile and said, "I understand. So, how long will you be gone? When will you be back?"

He had thought that once Nalan Jingwen returned, he would be able to see her every day. For the past six months, he had not stopped missing her for a single day. The intense longing was almost overwhelming him. He endured each day, counting down the days, hoping that she would return soon.

But when she finally returned, less than a day later, she was leaving again. How could he accept that?

But he was helpless; there was nothing he could do.

All he could do was ask her when she was leaving, and how he could see her as much as possible in the days he had left.

Nalan Jingwen frowned in thought and said, "I will leave as soon as the imperial decree is issued, and my return date is uncertain."

"If nothing unexpected happens, the imperial edict will be issued tomorrow."

After the imperial decree was issued, it would take some time to prepare disaster relief supplies, but she did not intend to wait any longer and decided to go to Xuzhou first to find out what the situation was like there.

Nalan Jingwen's words were undoubtedly a heavy blow to him. Pei Yunche staggered back a few steps, released Nalan Jingwen's hand, and said in an incredulous tone, "Tomorrow?"

Nalan Jingwen nodded.

"Do we have to leave so soon? Didn't you just get back?"

He could no longer hold back his sobs and broke down in tears.

Nalan Jingwen nodded, "The disaster in Xuzhou is severe, we can't delay any longer. The sooner we go, the more people we can save."

Pei Yunche's mother was a great general who held considerable military power and was deeply loved by the people. General Pei was the same, and he regarded the people as his top priority. As her son, no one understood these things better than Pei Yunche.

The moonlight seemed exceptionally bright tonight, illuminating Pei Yunche's pale face clearly, and the tear tracks on his face were also clearly visible.

Nalan Jingwen looked at him, thought for a moment, and said, "What I told you back then still stands."

"what?"

Pei Yunche murmured.

"If you find a woman you like during this year, this agreement can be voided at any time, and you are free to marry whoever you wish."

Making Pei Yunche wait for her for a year was wrong in the first place, so how could she ruin a beautiful woman's chance for marriage?

Pei Yunche's eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe that Nalan Jingwen could say such a thing. His ears were ringing, and Nalan Jingwen was almost burned by his severe grief, forcing her to look away.

Pei Yunche wept uncontrollably, choking back tears as he said, "How could I possibly like another woman?"

"Don't you know who I, Pei Yunche, like?"

How could he possibly like someone else? How could he possibly like someone else?!

He only has Nalan Jingwen, and only wants her!

"You know perfectly well that I, Pei Yunche, cannot live without you, so why did you say such hurtful things to me?"

"I've given you everything I can. The only thing I can give you is this body. If you want it, you can take it!"

Nalan Jingwen frowned, not expecting him to be so agitated. She softened her tone slightly and said, "You know that's not what I meant, and I have no desire for your body."

Upon hearing this, Pei Yunche merely scoffed, saying with a hint of sarcasm, "I know you have so many men around you, what attraction do I have for you? It is I, Pei Yunche, who have willingly debaseed myself and eagerly sought to marry you. You clearly do not like me, it is I who shamelessly forced you to make this one-year promise, it is I who wanted to give you my body, it is you, Nalan Jingwen, who refused!"

He became more and more agitated as he spoke, and his last sentence was almost shouted out, making it exceptionally clear and distinct in the quiet of the night.

Nalan Jingwen frowned even more deeply, his expression complicated, his eyes full of disapproval, disapproval of how he described him.

"Do you know what you're talking about?"

"How could I not know? Aren't I stating the truth?"

It was always him who relentlessly pursued him, he who was stubborn and incorrigible, he who couldn't live without Nalan Jingwen, not the other way around. So no matter what, he could only endure it and had no right to choose!

He wanted to see her, he wanted to be with her for the rest of his life, no matter how much hardship he had to endure or how many times they had to be separated, he was willing to accept it all!

"I don't have anyone else, I won't fall in love with anyone else, believe me, okay?"

Pei Yunche stepped forward, grabbed her hand tightly, and pleaded earnestly.

When Nalan Jing heard him like this, she couldn't bear it and reached out to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes. "I'm sorry."

Pei Yunche shook his head, crying, and said, "I don't want to hear 'I'm sorry,' I just want you to believe me."

She believed that he loved only her, and that he could endure everything and overcome all difficulties to be with her.

Nalan Jingwen looked at him and nodded, "Okay."

Pei Yunche clearly didn't believe him. He shook his head and said, "You always lie to me."

Helpless, Nalan Jing hugged his waist, and the two pressed close together. Under Pei Yunche's shocked gaze, she placed a light kiss on his rosy lips, very light, and they parted after a brief touch.

"Stop crying. Even if that's the case, you still don't believe me?"

Pei Yunche stared blankly at Nalan Jingwen, tears still glistening on his eyelashes.

Upon hearing this, Nalan Jing waved her hand in front of Pei Yunche's eyes. Pei Yunche snapped out of his daze, a blush quickly spreading across his pale face. "You..."

A smile flashed in Nalan Jingwen's eyes as he said, "Since you insist on marrying no one but me, then I will certainly not disappoint you. This time, I will escort you back to your residence and take the opportunity to meet General Pei."

When Pei Yunche heard that she wanted to see his mother, and remembering his mother's attitude towards her, he hurriedly grabbed her hand and asked anxiously, "Why do you want to see your mother? You know how she is..."

Before Pei Yunche could finish speaking, Nalan Jingwen said, "Of course I know, that's why I want to meet with you and talk about our business."

"Let her marry her son to me."

Also, regarding Pei Yundai, of course this cannot be told to Pei Yunche, otherwise he might be sad again.
