The Dramatic Crown Princess Wants to Poison Me!

Chapter 622: Chapter 621: No Answer

At this moment, Xia Wenjin was also in turmoil, unable to keep her composure.

But to make her say heartless words in front of Huangfu Jingchen, she couldn’t do it either.

The two of them locked eyes, speechless.

It was Xia Wenjin who broke the silence first: ”Have you eaten yet?”

Huangfu Jingchen nodded, the young man was a bit embarrassed, but also a bit joyful and expectant, and he nodded honestly.

Clearly a sharp-witted, poised young man, where was his previous grace and calm now?

Because in his eyes and heart, there was only one person, whose emotions he would share, rejoice, and be angry with!

Xia Wenjin said, ”Shall we eat together?”

Huangfu Jingchen nodded repeatedly, of course, he was very happy!

She had the shopkeeper send over tableware and called for two more dishes. As Huangfu Jingchen picked up his bowl, Xia Wenjin said with a smile, ”No matter what happens, don’t let yourself go hungry! Is this enough?”

Huangfu Jingchen nodded, yes, yes, yes!

The dishes didn’t matter, nor did the amount of rice; eating with Wenjin was enough. Heaven knows how anxious he was when he couldn’t find Wenjin these past few days.

After sending his parents away, he practically mobilized the entire Cheng Prince Mansion.

He was anxious because if Wenjin wasn’t willing to forgive him, she would leave the Capital City soon, and it would be difficult to meet again.

He didn’t want Wenjin to leave with resentment towards his deceit; otherwise, she would never see him again.

So, upon hearing that Wenjin was here, he came immediately.

Wenjin’s attitude now gave him hope.

Had she forgiven him?

He filled Xia Wenjin’s bowl with vegetables and said, ”You eat too!” Then he began to eat.

As he swallowed his first bite, it suddenly dawned on him that since Wenjin had angrily left that day, he hadn’t had a proper meal.

Dragged by Xia Sichen to a restaurant, he had drunk a lot of wine.

Now, eating properly and in front of Wenjin, the food tasted exceptionally good.

Xia Wenjin watched the small mountain of food in front of her but didn’t touch it; she simply watched the boy’s quick yet graceful eating movements.

She saw the noble temperament that exuded from his very being, even in silence.

She saw the dignified and composed manner in his every move.

She saw his clean and handsome brow and the elegance in his actions, brilliant and prince-like, was it?

From the beginning, she had discerned that his birth was not ordinary, and indeed it wasn’t!

Was this the nobility in the bones of the Imperial Family?

Was this the unique lineage of the Imperial Family?

Huangfu Jingchen quickly noticed that Xia Wenjin wasn’t eating, so he put down his bowl and chopsticks: ”Wenjin, why aren’t you eating?”

Xia Wenjin said, ”I’m not hungry; you eat first. I have something to say to you after you finish!”

Huangfu Jingchen immediately became anxious and said, ”Wenjin, what do you want to say to me? As long as it’s not ignoring me or never forgiving me, you can say anything!”

With the boy’s nervousness, Xia Wenjin found her words stuck. She was angry with Huangfu Jingchen for hiding his identity, letting her fall for him unknowingly.

If she had known his identity earlier, she would have been more rational and kept her distance. But would she really not have fallen for him? Unless they had never met?

So, her mood was complicated, and she couldn’t sort it out herself.

She sighed softly in her heart and said seriously, ”Do you remember Mo Qingfeng?”

Huangfu Jingchen nodded. He remembered every day they spent together in Jianghu, having experienced so much; how could he forget?

Xia Wenjin said, ”A few days ago, I saw him again. He is the rightful heir to Ancestor Xu Yun’s ’Stargazing Method’ from Bodhi Temple. Do you remember the fate he predicted for us back then?”

Huangfu Jingchen nodded.

Xia Wenjin hesitated, then said, ”Mo Qingfeng said that the divination he did for you was a ’Nine Deaths One Life’ fate. You have to endure nine deaths before you have a glimmer of hope. The times you faced life-threatening situations in Jianghu were likely fulfilling this fate. He said there are two ways to resolve it!”

Huangfu Jingchen’s heart leapt with joy; Wenjin’s words indicated she was concerned about his life and death.

Actually, whether it was ’Nine Deaths One Life’ or ’Ten Deaths No Life,’ he didn’t care at this moment. He only cared whether Wenjin had forgiven him if he still had a place in her heart!

Wenjin was willing to talk to him, and from her tone, it seemed she had consulted Mo Qingfeng for his sake? This filled him with joy. He asked, ”What ways?”

Xia Wenjin said, ”One is the Blessing Nourishing Method: find a woman with a vibrant life and marry her, nurturing life with life! The other is the Poison Attack Method: find a woman with a declining life and marry her, using poison to attack poison!”

”So...” Huangfu Jingchen felt a sense of foreboding rising in his heart.

Xia Wenjin slowly said, ”Mo Qingfeng said, I am neither a vibrant woman nor a declining woman! So, don’t waste your time with me here in the future!”

The girl’s voice was light and clear, yet each word was crystal clear. However, these few sentences were like ice daggers, freezing Huangfu Jingchen’s heart, his expression rigid, his joy frozen, and he said with difficulty: ”I don’t believe these things! I won’t find any vibrant or declining woman! I just want to be with you, Wenjin!”

Xia Wenjin lifted her eyes, a haze in the depths of them, with unclear meaning, reminding him: ”These two years are your destined calamity, ’Nine Deaths One Life,’ but you’re not a cat; you don’t have nine lives. Any life-threatening crisis could take your life away!”

Otherwise, in a past life, how had they not met? It was because he hadn’t overcome this ’Nine Deaths One Life’ calamity!

Huangfu Jingchen still shook his head, saying, ”So, what you’re saying is, I should marry someone I don’t even like just to survive?”

Xia Wenjin: ”...”

She was rendered speechless by his questioning.

Indeed, if survival required marrying someone she didn’t like, would that be any different from her past life?

No, it would be even worse than her past life.

After all, in her past life, she was infatuated by Huangfu Yu’s stunning beauty, foolishly used by him until her value was drained and then kicked aside.

Just like this life, where her father thought it was for her good, fearing she’d have a short life, coerced her to marry Huangfu Yu.

Her father also feared she’d have a short life, disregarding her wishes!

So, even though she passed on Mo Qingfeng’s words, she couldn’t give a definitive answer.

Do not impose on others what you yourself do not desire!

Even if she didn’t want the other party to get hurt, that choice should be Huangfu Jingchen’s to make!
