Chapter 781: Chapter 782 This way, I’m really at a loss_1

She couldn’t fathom what was on her mind.

After pausing for a short while, she retracted the foot she had stepped out and closed the guest room door from the inside, making sure it was bolted shut.

Wild Goose Jade placed the bundle she had intended to discard on the table in the guest room and took a seat on the round stool beside it, silently staring at the bundle for a long time before she finally let out a soft sigh.

Then, she began to ponder her own concerns.

In the letter, Meng Zhuqing had written that she did not want to cross swords with her, which must mean that even if she returned, she wouldn’t be able to see Xiao Changyi, let alone ask Xiao Changyi to take her as his disciple.

It was evident that Xiao Changyi really wouldn’t take her on as a pupil.

If that was the case, then naturally she wouldn’t bother any further, and for now, her top priority should still be to heal her wounds.

After that, go to the Capital to seek an opportunity for revenge.

...

Four days flew by in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Gong Juechen, who hadn’t visited An Jing for four whole days, came again, dressed in a dark red robe with wide sleeves and sporting a demonically charming face enhanced by a smirk that made him seem all the more wicked.

"If you don’t speak, you actually look like a human being," An Jing said with brutal honesty.

Gong Juechen wasn’t annoyed and even chuckled, "I am a human being by nature, and I won’t stop being one just because you say I don’t look like it."

After a pause, Gong Juechen wore an extremely sorrowful expression, "Jingjing, do you know what I’ve been doing these past few days when I wasn’t coming over to your place for a meal?"

Without waiting for An Jing to reply, he continued, "I went looking for my wife, but alas, I searched for four days and couldn’t find a trace of her, and it really breaks my heart."

"But what I regret even more..."

"I regret that, back then, why didn’t I just turn the raw rice into cooked rice with my wife."

"I also regret why I didn’t do as I told you all, that while treating her injuries, I should’ve touched her all over her body."

"By doing so, I really missed out big time."

"She was just sent away by you all, taking my heart with her. Do you think I could die of lovesickness?"

Having said this, Gong Juechen fell silent, looking at An Jing expectantly as if waiting for her to answer whether he would or wouldn’t.

An Jing replied irritably, "A scourge for a thousand years!" She didn’t know which part of his words were true and which were false, but she did believe that he could indeed live a very long time.

"Hearing you say that puts my mind at ease," Gong Juechen immediately brightened up again.

An Jing remained silent for a moment and then said with even more irritation, "Aren’t you the one who’s not afraid of death?"

Gong Juechen replied with a charming and wicked smile, "I am not afraid to die, but that doesn’t mean I want to."

After a pause, Gong Juechen added, "I can’t find my wife now, and can only wait for her to come looking for me. You’ve said I’ll live for a thousand years, so I should be able to wait until the day I see my wife again."

"By that time, my wife should believe that we are made for each other, destined to be husband and wife." As he spoke, Gong Juechen bore an extremely hopeful look, as if he were truly looking forward to a future where he and Wild Goose Jade would meet and become husband and wife.

Meng Zhuqing stood to one side, and upon hearing this, he couldn’t help but cast a glance in the direction of a certain inn.

Wondering if she was still there...

Without even realizing it, a hint of worry flashed across Meng Zhuqing’s eyes, but quickly, he regained his composure to the demeanor proper for a subordinate.

Even though Meng Zhuqing concealed it swiftly, An Jing still noticed it, but she said nothing, only letting out a soft sigh inwardly.
