My Inner Thought is Exposed! The Villain Family Defy Their Fate!-Chapter 82 - 46: Is the Zuixiang Building Uproar Plot Happening Today?

Chapter 82: Chapter 46: Is the Zuixiang Building Uproar Plot Happening Today?

It seems like it now.

The two brothers left the study, with Yun Zheng going to find his wife for some intimacy, while Yun Zhan headed towards Qing Garden. Along the way, his mind was filled with the secret reports sent by the Dark Shadow Hall.

He still didn’t understand how the eminent Crown Princess had fallen into such circumstances back then.

"Seventh Young Master, you’re back."

A slender woman walked gracefully towards him. Yun Zhan stopped and nodded, his gaze landing on the captivating silver mask.

His gaze was so direct, like a hook, firmly locking onto her. A faint confusion appeared in Yin Shuang’s eyes, but she didn’t dodge in the slightest.

"Seventh Young Master, why are you looking at me like that?"

"Yin Shuang," Yun Zhan reached out, gently touching the edge of the mask, "I want to see your face."

Yin Shuang was slightly startled, and after a moment, she silently removed the mask.

A delicate face appeared before Yun Zhan, with initially exquisite features now marred by large patches of black sores on her cheeks, destroying all beauty and leaving only ugliness and repulsion that could scare children to tears.

Yun Zhan carefully examined her eyes, lips, and nose. Sure enough, ignoring the sores and damage on her face, these features were exactly the same as the woman in the painting he held.

The mystery was solved, yet even more questions arose.

"Seventh Young Master, why suddenly want to see my face? Aren’t you afraid of having nightmares at night?"

Yin Shuang lowered her head, gently covering her left cheek.

This face, so ugly that even she didn’t want to look at it. Accidentally seeing it made her feel disgusted.

It’s already much better now. When they first met, her whole body was full of sores, not a single part of her face intact. She didn’t know what kind of freak he was, not feeling disgusted at all or afraid of infection, yet he took her in.

"Ha, it’s not as exaggerated as you say."

Yun Zhan took the mask from her hand and gently put it back on for her, his actions excessively intimate.

Thinking about his behavior over the past few days, Yin Shuang felt a vague unease in her heart, sensing he was too unusual.

"Seventh Young Master, did something happen recently?"

"Why do you ask such a question?"

"Nothing~"

Suppressing her unease, Yin Shuang shook her head slowly.

He sighed softly, saying gently, "Yin Shuang, in the future, if anything happens, feel free to tell me directly. You don’t need to have any concerns."

Upon hearing this, Yin Shuang’s fingers tightened slightly as she looked up at him.

"Go ahead, I can tell you have something on your mind."

"I just feel like the Seventh Young Master has been acting a bit strange lately."

Encouraged, Yin Shuang no longer hesitated and mustered the courage to express her thoughts.

"Ha," Yun Zhan chuckled softly, "Are you trying to say that I’ve been too attentive to you lately?"

"..."

Yin Shuang’s face stiffened slightly, unsure of how to respond.

"Yin Shuang, if I were to propose to you, would you be willing to marry me?"

W-What?

Her eyes widened suddenly. Yin Shuang looked at him in disbelief, her heart pounding like a drum, almost leaping out of her chest. After a moment, she lowered her eyes, letting out a faint smile.

"Seventh Young Master, don’t tease me."

Such words aren’t said lightly.

"I’m not teasing you," Yun Zhan replied with a slight headache, "I’m serious."

Without waiting for her response, he continued, "Yin Shuang, I genuinely want to marry you. However, you can completely follow your heart’s desires, there’s no need to force yourself. I won’t compel you."

"I just wanted to share my feelings with you."

Originally, it was too early compared to the time he promised his sister-in-law. He hadn’t intended to tell her now, but seeing that painting, he suddenly thought of many issues.

He had already found the method to detoxify her from Xiao Si’s Heart. Her face would eventually heal. If he waited until her appearance recovered to express his feelings, she might only see him as a lustful person, coveting her beauty.

What would be the purpose of everything he had done then?

"Why? Does the Seventh Young Master care for me?"

Yin Shuang was a bit confused.

How could he possibly want to marry her?

How could he possibly like her?

In her current state, she didn’t even like herself. How could any man like her?

"Perhaps it’s care. I haven’t had much contact with women and am not sure what care truly is, but I can’t bear to see you suffer. I just want everything to be well for you."

What he didn’t say was that he didn’t want to see her marry someone else.

She had been by his side for two whole years. He had long been accustomed to her, couldn’t do without her, and hoped she would stay by his side for a long time.

Previously, this thought was very vague, and he hadn’t even realized it because she was always by his side, quietly and attentively, never giving him a chance to notice.
