Chapter 1026: Chapter 1027 When Can I Be Foolish Too?

And his smile at the corner of his mouth was as meaningful as one could expect it to be.

”Not admitting it yet...” Gong Juechen not only smiled meaningfully, but his peach blossom eyes were also full of depth.

Meng Zhuqing panicked and wanted to escape.

But before he could act, Gong Juechen slowly spoke again, ”Zhuzhu, honestly, when I treated her wounds back then, I really didn’t touch her body, I was just saying it—”

Meng Zhuqing instantly glared at him with a murderous look, ”Are you still talking?”

Gong Juechen wasn’t scared at all, and even sat up from the ground, patting Meng Zhuqing’s shoulder like a big brother, ”For the sake of our friendship, I won’t mention it again. But Zhuzhu, won’t you really confess your feelings to her?”

Without waiting for Meng Zhuqing to speak, Gong Juechen sighed, ”I really don’t want to see the water running into someone else’s field, Jade Jade is so beautiful.”

Meng Zhuqing got up and left.

Although this person seemed entirely unreliable and clueless about boundaries, in reality, he was dependable and very much knew how to handle things.

He also knew that this person wanted him to be with Tobanya, but the problem was, with his ghastly appearance, how could he be with Tobanya? He felt ashamed even standing next to her!

Besides, she didn’t like him.

It was better he continued to pine for her silently in his heart.

Seeing Meng Zhuqing walk away, Gong Juechen found it amusing, ”What a fool, if a Commandery Princess didn’t like you, would she feed you mouth-to-mouth? You could just have a maidservant do it. So silly... another fool... When will I ever be foolish...”

Since Gong Juechen’s voice was particularly soft, so soft that he couldn’t hear it himself, naturally, the guards outside couldn’t hear it either.

Gong Juechen didn’t care whether anyone had heard his conversation with Meng Zhuqing or not, he just leaned against the desk again, picked up his wine cup, and continued sipping slowly.

Even though he couldn’t get drunk.

...

That night, before sleeping, An Jing was exceptionally happy, her smile exceptionally radiant, ”Husband, we are going back to the Capital tomorrow, we’ll see the kids very soon.”

”Mhm.” Although Xiao Changyi’s face was expressionless, his cold eyes were extremely gentle, and his tone very soft and tender.

”Let’s sleep early and get up early tomorrow.” An Jing’s voice was especially cheerful.

”Mhm.” While Xiao Changyi responded lightly, he kissed the top of An Jing’s head and involuntarily tightened his grip on her hand.

An Jing obediently let herself be held by Xiao Changyi.

Even though the thought of returning to the Capital to see their children kept An Jing too excited and happy to fall asleep, she still closed her eyes.

The next day, before dawn, An Jing got up. She hadn’t slept much the previous night, but her energy was still remarkably high; she didn’t feel tired or sleepy at all.

An Jing and Xiao Changyi also took a detour on their way back to the Capital to visit Li Wuyu. Li Wuyu, who was over five months pregnant, was kept indoors by Wang Youbao, fearing any mishap, so during the epidemic, she just stayed at home worriedly.

Because they were in a hurry to get back on the road to the Capital, An Jing only spoke a few words with Li Wuyu before continuing their journey. She was eager to make it back in time to celebrate the birthdays of their four little ones; she couldn’t miss the date.

An Jing and Xiao Changyi returned to the Imperial Capital the day of June 6, which was the birthday of their four little ones.

Upon arriving in the Imperial Capital, An Jing and Xiao Changyi went straight into the palace.
