Chapter 106: Understanding Your Heart (5)
"Is it important?"
When Zhou Yan heard Han Ji's words, he felt an inexplicable anger rising in his heart.
"Are you testing me?"
Han Ji shook her head and turned around. In front of Zhou Yan, her eyes were full of sadness and helplessness. She said calmly: "No, it's just that this matter is not important. I am already the princess consort of your King Jing of the Great Zhou. Even if my father really passed away, there would be many people to send him off. It would be insignificant if I was missing. Why should I run so far to make myself miserable? Besides, your matter is more important, right?"
Zhou Yan was speechless after hearing what Han Ji said. What should he say? Should he admire Han Ji's transformation? Or should he think that Han Ji really thought so?
"So, where are you going after you come back this time ?"
When Han Ji turned around again , her expression was obviously the same as usual, with a smile on her face, which dazzled Zhou Yan for a moment and he forgot to think about the meaning of what Han Ji said.
"Why? You don't want me to see you off?"
Seeing Zhou Yan's dazed expression, Han Ji couldn't help but chuckle, but she didn't know that her words made Zhou Yan's body tremble, and his dazed eyes turned into a red glow; generally speaking, when the husband goes out, it is natural and reasonable for his wife to see him off, let alone people of Zhou Yan and Han Ji's status, but to Zhou Yan, Han Ji's words were a bit harsh, not just this one sentence, but after coming back this time, he felt that most of Han Ji's words sounded very uncomfortable, but he didn't know why , so he was extremely unhappy.
"Why? You want me to go away?"
He had no intention of being too serious with Han Ji, but Han Ji's words repeatedly pushed Zhou Yan's bottom line, to the point where he finally couldn't hold back his anger.
"...How could that be? I just wanted to make some arrangements to make traveling more convenient."
Fortunately, Han Ji had already gotten used to Zhou Yan's changes, and she was able to cope with it immediately.
"Don't bother you with these. Since you are a princess, just act like a princess."
"As a wife, can't I, as a wife, do a little to help my husband?"
Zhou Yan was suddenly stunned. He realized that he had inadvertently mentioned Han Ji's identity. At the same time, Han Ji's words also made him realize that, yes, Han Ji was his wife. In the past, whenever Han Ji was with him, wasn't she also involved in the arrangements? What happened this time? Zhou Yan turned his eyes away from Han Ji, not knowing what to say for a moment. Although he knew that he was a little impulsive, he believed that he would not admit or admit his mistakes.
"Can't you tell me?"
Han Ji asked suspiciously without noticing Zhou Yan's thoughts. Every time Zhou Yan said something, she could only look for the answer from Zhou Yan's words and then make arrangements. She had the same idea this time. After all, she would not interfere.
"Zhao."
She had not had any expectations in the first place, but unexpectedly got an answer, and Han Ji admitted that this answer made her heart sink, because the person Zhou Yan wanted to meet was there; Han Ji thought Zhou Yan had really let go, but then she realized that she should not have had any expectations in the first place, and even if Zhou Yan really let go, it did not mean that he could forget.
"Really? It's a long journey, how long will it take?"
Han Ji felt that she was unable to think and asked woodenly. She didn't know what was supporting her or why she could continue to speak. Maybe her subconscious mind made her not want to give up any opportunity to communicate with Zhou Yan, even if this topic made her heart bleed.
"I don't know, because there are some things that need to be confirmed."
It seemed like he was answering Han Ji's words, but also like he was talking to himself. If it were usual, Zhou Yan would at most tell Han Ji the destination, but would not explain the reason; but now Zhou Yan actually said it, even if it was just carelessness, whether it was intentional or unintentional, Han Ji's heart still felt a little warm, this warmth made her feel that even if it came at a bloody price, it was worth it.
"So do I need to bring anything?"
"No, there's no need."
"But you might be gone for a long time, right? How about bringing some local specialties? Cakes or something."
Obviously, Zhou Yan noticed that Han Ji's words had other meanings. Suddenly, he seemed to understand something. He turned his head and looked at Han Ji with a surprised look. He knew that Han Ji said these words deliberately for him to hear. As for the reason... Zhou Yan was a little suspicious. Did Han Ji know about Yin Yin's affairs? Should it be said that someone like Han Ji, who rarely went out of the house and rarely knew about the outside world, would know that Yin Yin was also in Zhao State? Zhou Yan couldn't imagine how much Han Ji knew.
That's right, on the surface Han Ji really shouldn't have known. Very few people knew about Yin Yin's affairs, and her actions could be said to be confidential. There must be a reason why Han Ji knew about it. Han Ji's words were indeed said deliberately for Zhou Yan to hear. There was no ulterior motive in her words. It might have been simply to give Zhou Yan an excuse to deliberately meet Yin Yin.
"Then you decide."
Although Zhou Yan was somewhat suspicious of Han Ji's thoughts, he did not want to go into it further. Perhaps this was more normal. Apart from anything else, given the friendship between Han Ji and Yin Yin, it would not be surprising even if Han Ji knew Yin Yin's whereabouts. Moreover, Zhou Yan seemed to understand Han Ji's intentions, so he responded to Han Ji's suggestion in a way that only you and I knew.
"Okay, I see. So when do we leave?"
"tomorrow."
"Got it. I'll get ready now."
"Um."
After confirmation, Han Ji bowed and left. Everything was so natural, so natural that Zhou Yan could only stare blankly at Han Ji's gradually departing back.
