Chapter 749: Ya’er, Let’s Postpone the Wedding

Shen Yunya’s heart suddenly constricted and she clenched her fists upon hearing such a question . However, her body was very relaxed . She only had a guilty look on her face . She lowered her eyes and said, “I’m sorry, Big Brother Jin . I did not take good care of Elder Sister and did not pick the 1000-year Spiritual King Grass to protect Elder Sister’s heart, making you unable to see her one last time . ”

Xi Jin looked at her . She appeared so sorrowful and blamed herself . He wanted to speak Xi Lin’s words and question her . But when he thought of what Xi Lin had said, he choked it all back down .

You don’t love enough and are unworthy of love!

Those words suddenly woke him up . He really could not discuss everything with Ya’er, especially now that Lin’er suspected her . Besides, what was the point of questioning her at this time? Since there were doubts, he should thoroughly investigate them on his own .

He should investigate rather than listening to what other people said .

“Big Brother Jin?” Shen Yunya found that he did not look quite right . Her heart could not help thumping a little, giving rise to a bad feeling .

Xi Jin looked up and smiled mildly as he said, “It’s all right . It’s the anniversary of Dai’er’s death today, isn’t it? I came to take a look . I miss her . ”

“The anniversary of Elder Sister’s death is tomorrow . ” Shen Yunya was on guard . It was only the eighth day of the month today . Big Brother Jin liked Shen Qingdai so much . How could he remember the wrong date for the anniversary of her death?

Xi Jin thought for a moment and smiled apologetically, saying, “It has been so busy with the wedding these past few days . I’m feeling a little nervous . Instead, I remembered the wrong day . So, it is actually the eighth day of the month today . ”

Shen Yunya looked at Xi Jin’s gentle smile . The bad feeling in her heart felt increasingly worse . Although he had gradually started to smile, he did not smile as much today . And his smile made her very uneasy .

“Tomorrow is the anniversary of Elder Sister’s death . Big Brother Jin, let us go pay our respects to Elder Sister together . ”

Xi Jin shook his head lightly and said, “I’ll go on my own tomorrow . ” He went to pay his respects with her last year . He wanted to be alone this year .

“Okay . ” Shen Yunya lowered her gaze . Anyway, it was not Shen Qingdai who was buried in that grave . He could go as many times as he liked . She did not care .

The two of them were silent for a while . One stood next to the swing while the other sat on it . The courtyard was full of peony flowers, and a light breeze brushed past . With the two of them sitting in silence, there was quite a sense of peace .

“Ya’er, April 12th is a special day . Let us postpone,” he said .

Listening to the words Xi Jin was saying, Shen Yunya’s face suddenly changed . However, her expression immediately recovered . She asked in a docile and gentle manner, “Is it because of Elder Sister?”

Xi Jin did not speak, which could be taken as him tacitly agreeing . After these three years of numbing himself and letting himself live in a state of oblivion, he seemed to sober up a bit at this time .

Shen Yunya looked down at Xi Jin as he gazed at the abundant, gorgeous peony flowers in a trance . He appeared to have tacitly agreed . She clenched her fists and felt her hatred deepen in her heart, but her face was gentle as she said, “Okay . ”

Xi Jin was startled for a moment and looked at her, baffled . He had not expected her to answer so plainly .

Shen Yunya smiled and spoke tenderly and considerately, saying, “Let me announce the postponement . I will ask Master to send out an urgent letter tomorrow and rush back to the Shang Institution the day after that . Although there will still be some harsh words, this is the best way to proceed at the moment . ”

“Ya’er . ” Looking at how gentle and considerate she was in thinking of him, Xi Jin felt shame in his heart .

If he were to be the one to announce the postponement, as the prince, he would definitely lose the faith of the people . It would damage his reputation . But if Ya’er were to say so, then this contradiction would be pointed at her and toward the Shen Family . Other than him being pitied and sympathized with, there was no loss .

“Ya’er does not ask for anything . I only ask for Big Brother Jin’s wellbeing . If Big Brother Jin does not want to get married, Ya’er will also understand,” she said .
