Chapter 61 The more important question (1)

Chen Hui said that she would take the time to think about whether she was really sick, but emotionally, she refused to think about it.

To live a happier life, Chen Hui was sometimes really unwilling to take the initiative to think about too many deep-seated problems. It was useless to think about it anyway. The clearer you are about how things are, in a more painful state you will be. It was better to let her live happier. However, this problem is very important to her, so she has to think about it seriously.

After the two-day ‘self-diagnosis and treatment period’, Chen Hui didn’t understand her ‘condition’. She suddenly became a bit clearer about this: under the circumstances that she didn’t know whether Li Youde was also somewhat interested in her, wasn’t it looking for abuse to like him first?

After understanding this, Chen Hui decided to first assume that she didn’t like Li Youde and figure out his attitude towards her from the perspective of an outsider before she confirms her condition.

However, this was not something that could be figured out easily.

From the point of view of a bystander who doesn’t understand Li Youde, he once said to her that even if she dies, she has to die in his residence; he had held her, pinched her chest, she disappeared and he came to chase after her…Unfortunately, these couldn’t be considered evidence of ‘liking’ in the eyes of her, the involved party. It was when he put his arms around her to comfort her when they came back two days ago that made her feel like he was somewhat interested. Also, he had always indulged her quite a bit which could barely be considered a positive basis.

Chen Hui was puzzled before whether Li Youde was interested in her. However, it seemed that he didn’t have any interest in her in that respect, as if…as if he was supporting her like how he was supporting Jiang Bihan. Of course, his attitude towards Jiang Bihan was different from that of her. Presumably, he had never said something harsh to Jiang Bihan, but what about her? He really wouldn’t give up if he didn’t anger her to death.

There wasn’t much time for Chen Hui to ponder about this. It happened that Jiang Bihan came to visit her at this moment…yes, just to visit her.

Chen Hui invited Jing Bihan in and let her have a seat. After exchanging the conventional greetings, she discovered that Jiang Bihan has something to say. She asked Xiao Tiao and Qingshu to leave them alone.

“Lady Jiang, do you have something to tell me?” Chen Hui asked. She and Jiang Bihan shared a secret after the sausage incident of last time and they seemed to have gotten closer. However, due to the identities of the two, she couldn’t be too close.

“Lady Chen, I heard that you were in danger when you went to Tanmen Temple…I was sick before and was afraid to pass it to you, so, I didn’t come to visit,” Jiang Bihan said.

Chen Hui blinked, “My luck is still not bad. Although the process was a bit dangerous, I managed to escape in the end.”

Jiang Bihan smiled faintly. Perhaps, she had already known about these a long time ago that she was not surprised when she heard Chen Hui. On the contrary, she looked absent-minded. She only looked down at the teapot and said in low voice, “Great.”

Chen Hui thought, Lady Jiang still hasn’t learned to be straightforward when speaking to her.

“Lady Jiang, what did you come looking for me for?” Chen Hui dived straight in.

Jiang Bihan was silent for a few seconds before dropping her gaze and said, “Lady Chen, are you…” She paused and really didn’t know how to continue. In other words, coming to find her has exhausted her (J) courage and it will embarrass her now to speak the words that had been on her mind for a long time. She almost wanted to get up immediately and escape.

Chen Hui waited for a few seconds and didn’t get Jiang Bihan’s continuation. She asked, “Lady Jiang, say what you want to say. I promise not to hit you.”

Chen Hui thought that she had made a small joke, but Jiang Bihan’s mind was elsewhere. She was silent for a long time before saying, “Lady Chen, you have once said that all you want was a peaceful corner. Does this still count?”

Chen Hui said, “Naturally, it still counts.” At least, she still thought so at the moment.

Jiang Bihan seemed to have difficulty getting on the topic. She stopped speaking for a long time before saying, “These past two months, Lord Li…he rarely goes to me anymore.”

Jiang Bihan was undoubtedly wary and disgusted with Li Youde going to find her in the past, but now there was one more person in the courtyard. He didn’t come to her often, which made her undoubtedly have more worries.

Chen Hui’s eyes changed slightly. Could it be that in the past two months Li Youde’s attention had been on her and he neglected Jiang Bihan? This was indeed possible. After all, many of the things sent to the residence are owned by her now.

In the past, Chen Hui was only curious about the relationship between Li Youde and Jiang Bihan. However now because of her undetermined secret thoughts, she began to mind it.

“Why did Lady Jiang come to me to say this?” Chen Hui asked.

Jiang Bihan was dumbstruck. Why? She…she only wants peace of mind.

“Lady Chen should know why,” Jiang Bihan finally raised her head and looked straight at Chen Hui.

Chen Hui smiled, “Lady Jiang, I have told you before, didn’t Lord Li treat you just as in the past these past two years? What are you afraid of? Could it be…you have accepted the situation and want to take a step further in a different direction with the relationship between you and Lord Li?”

Jiang Bihan’s face paled and her lips trembled when she said, “No…I didn’t mean that…”

Chen Hui sighed softly and said sincerely, “Lady Jiang, we can be regarded as grasshoppers that stayed on the same rope. I will say some things bluntly again. Since Lord Li can support you like this, he won’t send you away for some other reasons.”

Jiang Bihan looked Chen Hui in the eye and said, “Perhaps Lord Li wouldn’t mind supporting another idler, but…someone else will mind.”
