CHAPTER 693: CHAPTER 695, UNCHANGED (4 MORE UPDATES)

Mrs. Han, who was sensitive to the cold, stayed in the carriage, holding Tuanzi and feeding it small snacks.

Yun Jinnian got out of the carriage and looked at Chu Yu in his black brocade clothes, a warm glow in her eyes.

She had not expected him to come and meet her.

Looking at the snow on his cloak, he must have been waiting for a long time.

"Oh my, Sister! Save me!"

About to lose, Tianci ran to Yun Jinnian’s side, giggling with laughter.

Chu Yu stopped and shook the snow off his cloak, walked up to Yun Jinnian, pressed his lips together, nervous and somewhat unsure of how to begin.

Yun Jinnian, seeing this and feeling amused yet not wanting Chu Yu to be so nervous, asked, "Did you come to meet me?"

"Yes, I came as soon as I received your letter!" Chu Yu said, grinning foolishly.

"Have you been waiting long?"

"Not long!"

"Really? Then why does Luoyi have so much snow on him?"

Chu Yu turned to look at Luoyi, who quickly shook off the snow from his body.

"He gets snowed on easily!"

What a lie that was...

Yun Jinnian laughed, "I’m back now!"

"Yes, I’m very happy!"

Han Tianci, watching these two being so affectionate, afraid to become a third wheel, grabbed some hot tea from inside the carriage and went to talk to Luoyi.

He handed the hot tea to Luoyi, who reached out to take it.

"Luoyi, how long have you been waiting?"

"Prince got the letter before lunch and left the Wang Residence. We’ve been waiting here for a good three hours, and he hasn’t even had lunch!"

Hearing this, Han Tianci looked at Chu Yu not far away.

Originally, he had prepared to make things difficult, but now he thought that if Chu Yu truly cared for his sister, he’d give him a break!

To avoid making his sister feel caught in the middle.

But if anyone dared to bully his sister, no matter who it was, he would not hesitate to fight.

Chu Yu, looking at Yun Jinnian, extended his hand and adjusted her cloak, covering her head, "I have always kept my promise, does it still count?"

"It counts!"

Chu Yu smiled, "Is that your mother in the carriage?"

Yun Jinnian nodded her head.

Chu Yu took a deep breath, stepped forward, and bowed with a fist, "Chu Yu pays respects to Auntie!"

It was Chu Yu, not the Prince.

Yun Jinnian smiled with teary eyes.

Inside the carriage, Mrs. Han waited a moment before lifting the carriage curtain. Seeing Chu Yu still in the bowing posture and noting his noble and bright appearance, she felt greatly satisfied and said gently, "You may dispense with the formalities!"

Chu Yu straightened up.

Mrs. Han glanced at the sky, "It’s getting late, let’s enter the city first. We can talk about everything else another day, alright?"

"Yes, I’ll follow Auntie’s instructions!"

Before boarding the carriage, Yun Jinnian looked at Chu Yu and saw his face full of smiles. Smiling, she boarded the carriage.

The procession once again set off.

Inside the carriage

Mrs. Han took Yun Jinnian’s hand, "He seems quite good!"

"Mother..."

"Having waited for you for so many years, his sincerity is evident. However, given his position, it might be difficult for him to stay out of affairs. To get married may not be easy!"

Yun Jinnian fell silent.

She had not known her maternal grandfather’s identity before, but now that she did, she could not help feeling apprehensive.

"But don’t be afraid; solutions are devised by people. We’ve already waited so many years; a bit longer won’t make much difference," Mrs. Han consoled.

"Mother, let’s not worry about marriage for now. Escaping the Yun Residence is the priority," Yun Jinnian reminded.

The Yun Residence had already become corrupt and was bound to collapse sooner or later.

The sooner they left, the sooner they’d have peace of mind.

"You’re absolutely right. Let’s proceed as you have planned," Mrs. Han said, taking a deep breath.

Having thrown herself in without looking back, she was now using all her wits to escape.

She had lost much but gained two treasures.

That was enough!
