Jiang Youzhi waved his hand, and after all the maids in the room had exited and the door was closed, he grabbed her hand and said, "Hmm, the maid is also a woman, serving closely. Aren’t you jealous?"
Yun Jiao blinked her eyes, "What’s there to be jealous about? Aren’t servants just for serving?"
Helping with a cloak shouldn’t be an issue, as long as they aren’t helping him bathe, Yun Jiao thought she could accept it.
Jiang Youzhi sighed in his heart. He worried she’d be jealous, and he didn’t want her to be unhappy in the slightest. He had long decided not to let any other woman get close to him.
But her magnanimity made his heart ache.
He was keenly aware that this only showed he didn’t weigh enough in her heart yet.
He sighed helplessly, squeezed Yun Jiao’s hand, and pulled her to sit on the couch.
The thick, autumn-colored silk cushion on the Arhat Couch was very comfortable to sit on.
Jiang Youzhi untied the bundle he brought, and inside was a gemstone-encrusted box.
Yun Jiao curiously looked at it, thinking that if the box was adorned with gems, the contents must be even more valuable.
The box opened to reveal a floral crown.
The crown, with a red-gold base, was encrusted with diamonds, rubies, sapphires, tourmalines, and pearls, all forming flowers that shone brilliantly, almost blinding.
Yun Jiao couldn’t help reaching out to touch the flowers set with pearls and gemstones.
Jiang Youzhi smiled, "Isn’t it beautiful? It’s a gift from the Princess to you."
Yun Jiao thought to herself, does the Princess know soone like ?
She turned to look at him, and Jiang Youzhi understood the questioning in her eyes.
"I went to the Princess Mansion early this morning and told the Princess about our engagent plans."
Though traditionally, marriage affairs follow the orders of parents and matchmakers, it didn’t matter if he didn’t tell the Princess.
However, Jiang Youzhi felt it was necessary to explain so things to the Princess himself.
He didn’t intend to hide Yun Jiao’s past identity, nor could he. Rather than letting others embellish the story and tell the Princess, making her dislike Yun Jiao, it was better to proactively and honestly explain everything himself.
With just a bit of thought, Yun Jiao understood Jiang Youzhi’s reason for doing so.
She also thought of the lord and Lady Wu’s courteous treatnt of her, realizing clearly that their kindness was not because she was inherently lovable, but because Jiang Youzhi always showed how much he valued her, fearing she might suffer any grievance. They loved the one he loved.
If such a man isn’t worth marrying, then no man on earth is.
Feeling her heart soften, Yun Jiao relaxed into his embrace, "What did you say?"
Jiang Youzhi seized the opportunity to hold her tightly and gently patted her head, "Of course, I said that if you hadn’t healed , I would definitely still be a dispirited cripple now."
"If you hadn’t wanted to go to Xiang City to open a dicine shop, letting sell ginseng for you, I wouldn’t have had the chance to et Prince Kang and wouldn’t have hit it off with him, nor followed him to the capital."
"In short, you’re my lucky star, and without you, I’m afraid I couldn’t even survive."
Yun Jiao gently nudged him, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Jiang Youzhi rested his chin lightly on Yun Jiao’s head, rubbing slightly, his voice a bit deep, "It’s true, Jiao Jiao, without you, I don’t even know what I’d be like now."
He gently added, "So, don’t ever leave ."
"Even just not seeing you for a day is unbearable."
