Time Travel: The Noble Family-Chapter 1382 - 566: Showdown

Xiang Wei saw that Yueyao had been on the mountain for most of the day without making a sound, and was a bit worried, so she went up despite Yueyao’s previous instructions.

As soon as she got to the hillside, she saw a man had appeared there. Xiang Wei had seen Zhou Shu before, but his appearance now was different from before. Xiang Wei cautiously watched the unfamiliar man: "Who are you? Why are you here?"

Yueyao did not hide anything, and said: "He is Zhou Shu."

Xiang Wei’s expression changed dramatically, as if performing a magic trick, she pulled out a soft sword. Yueyao pressed Xiang Wei’s hand and said: "You go down."

Xiang Wei thought she had heard wrong, and stared at Yueyao.

Yueyao said with a stern face: "You go down, just guard below." Zhou Shu’s martial skills are very high, and Xiang Wei might not be his match.

Xiang Wei initially did not want to, but then she suddenly had a change of mind and nodded in agreement. Now that Zhou Shu was alone, she could go down and let everyone get ready, surely they could capture Zhou Shu. However, before going down, Xiang Wei glared at Zhou Shu fiercely.

Yueyao knew Zhou Shu too well, even if Zhou Shu appeared deeply affectionate, but this man would never gamble with his own life: "What backup plan do you have?" Zhou Shu knowing that there are so many guards around her, yet still not bringing a bodyguard to see her, it’s absolutely impossible without a trump card.

Zhou Shu did not deny it, but also did not tell Yueyao what his trump card was: "That’s something you don’t need to know."

Yueyao tried hard to stay calm: "Then what exactly do you want to do?"

Zhou Shu looked deeply at Yueyao and said: "Whether you believe it or not, I truly just want to see you once. I have no intention of disturbing your life, I just want to resolve that dream."

Yueyao’s palm was still aching: "Now that everything that needs to be said has been said, what else do you want?"

Zhou Shu asked Yueyao: "Are you so unwaveringly devoted to An Zhichen?" In his past life, the things he could never obtain, An Zhichen got easily, Zhou Shu felt unsatisfied.

Yueyao replied to Zhou Shu with just one sentence: "He is my husband, the one who will share my bed in life and my coffin in death." No vows of eternal love, no sweet words, yet this sentence revealed Yueyao’s determination. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

When Zhou Shu heard this, his face twisted a bit, in his past life he also wished that he could be buried together with Yueyao after he died. But when he got to Capital City, Li Guoxing had already convinced the Lian family’s members to bury Yueyao next to Lian Dongbo’s grave, making his wish empty.

Yueyao suddenly softened her attitude, with a trace of pleading in her words: "Zhou Shu, I am living well now, please don’t come and disturb my life anymore, alright? I’ve already been ruined by you once, do you want to ruin me a second time?"

Yueyao always gave Zhou Shu a strong impression, and now suddenly lowering her stance actually made Zhou Shu momentarily uncomfortable: "Is this what you want?"

Yueyao replied without any hesitation: "Yes, this is what I want. Zhou Shu, I’ve never wanted much, I just wish for a stable life. Now I have a husband who loves me, a lovely and considerate daughter, a sensible and obedient son, and my own painting career, even if I were to die now, I would have no regrets."

Zhou Shu couldn’t help but say: "Why? Is the difference in social class really that important?" As long as Yueyao was willing to let go of the prejudice over class differences, and other things, they could live happily. But everything was torn apart by Yueyao herself.

After hearing these words, Yueyao couldn’t help but laugh, her smile carrying a sadness: "You clearly know in your heart, there was never a possibility between us. If it hadn’t been for your despicable methods, we would never have intersected." Normally, she, as a lady of an official’s family, could never have been connected with a merchant who has a wife and children. It started wrongly and naturally could only end in tragedy.

Zhou Shu said nothing, the gap in identity and age was a chasm between them that could never be crossed. Zhou Shu murmured: "Why? Why did I have to meet you?" In his past life, he exhausted all his efforts and strategies to obtain Yueyao, but it only resulted in two years of happiness, followed by endless torment.

After knowing his identity, Yueyao loathed him, he spent so much energy to finally bring a smile to Yueyao’s face, and just when he found out Yueyao was pregnant with his child and was filled with happiness, Yueyao dealt him a fatal blow. Not only was the child lost, but Yueyao herself lost the will to live, repeatedly attempting self-harm.
