Chapter 2593

It’s quite late into the night.

Walking alone on the path in the backyard, a road she was so familiar with over the years, yet now it felt somewhat desolate.

Recently, too many issues have surfaced in the Bei Family. Tonight has passed, and tomorrow, or perhaps the day after, there’s much to face.

Unknowingly, Bei Qingyue had already walked to the entrance of Jin Ye Pavilion.

Her mind darted to what Nangong Yun told her today, and suddenly her heart was in turmoil again.

A mother knows her daughter best; maybe half of what Nangong Yun said was false.

But the other half, perhaps, could be true.

After hesitating for a while, she took a step inside.

… As the servant knocked on the door, Bei Fengjin had just emerged from the bathroom.

“Mr. Fengjin, Lady Yue is here to see you.” The servant continued knocking on the door.

Bei Fengjin’s expression remained unchanged and responded blandly: “It’s late, it’s inconvenient, please ask her to leave.”

The servant was about to say something before being interrupted, the door had already swung open with a bang.

Bei Qingyue walked in of her own accord, glancing back at the servant.

“I have some important matters to discuss with Feng Jin. You may leave.”

Having said that, without any regard for the servant present, she casually closed the door.

Bei Fengjin’s eyes, which weren’t very warm initially, turned even colder in an instant.

“If there’s anything to discuss, please go to the lounge, I’ll come down right away.”

“I want to say it here.” Bei Qingyue not only refused to leave but even locked the door behind her.

“Lady Yue, I’m not accustomed to discussing serious matters in the bedroom.”

Bei Fengjin’s body suddenly exuded a chilling presence, intending to open the door.

But Bei Qingyue leaned against the door, giving him no chance to do so.

Bei Fengjin didn’t want to get entangled with her, only standing inside the room, with cold eyes gazing at her.

Such a defensive stance made Bei Qingyue’s heart grow colder.

“Since you don’t like discussing serious matters in the bedroom, let’s not discuss serious matters, let’s talk about personal matters.”

Bei Fengjin remained firm: “There are no personal matters between us to discuss.”

“Why are you always so cold to me? Feng Jin!”

The way Bei Qingyue called out “Feng Jin” only amplified Bei Fengjin’s resentment.

She could clearly see the impatience in his eyes.

Looking at this face, so outstandingly handsome for the last twenty years, Bei Qingyue couldn’t comprehend her feelings.

He had just showered, and droplets of water still clung to his short hair on his forehead.

At that moment, she genuinely wished to walk into the bathroom and fetch a towel.

To serve him like one would serve her own husband, to dry his hair, to attend to him before bedtime.

Over all these years, she hadn’t even tended to her own husband; her only longing was to serve him.

Yet, all these years, not even once had he ever given her a proper look.

“Feng Jin, it’s been over a decade, you’ve shut yourself away here for nineteen years.”

She took a step forward, yearning to approach him, yet lacking the courage.

“For nineteen years, I’ve hinted at you repeatedly, showed favor over and over again, why have you never noticed?”

“Have you been drinking?” As she approached, a whiff of alcohol hit Bei Fengjin.

Bei Fengjin furrowed his brows, slightly displeased.

“If you’ve been drinking, go back and rest well; it’s late.”

“How about I stay here tonight, Feng Jin, tonight I won’t leave.”

“Lady Yue, please have some self-respect!”

Bei Fengjin didn’t want to speak much with her, and noticing she left the door, immediately attempted to reach it.

Bei Qingyue understood him too well; his mere movement conveyed his intent.

With a single step back, she returned to the doorframe, blocking it once more.
