Chapter 718: Someone Who Makes My Heart Flutter
Han Jing nodded: "Everything is fine. A lot has happened recently. Don’t worry, Su Yu is already fine, and the matter of the Soul Stabilizing Needle has been resolved."
"Really? That’s great! Tell me quickly, what happened!" Su Xingqiao was a bit excited. When the incident happened, they were all cautious, not daring to mention it in front of Han Jing, as it was indeed too painful for her.
Now hearing that the matter was resolved, he was truly surprised but mostly relieved.
Han Jing sat down, gestured for him to sit down as well, and then briefly explained the situation to him.
Su Xingqiao furrowed his brows slightly, not expecting the facts to be like this.
After a long silence, Su Xingqiao still advised, "Jing’er, the Imperial Uncle, he also has his difficulties. Don’t be too hard on yourself."
Since the Imperial Uncle was fine but did not return with Jing’er, even if Han Jing didn’t mention it, Su Xingqiao could roughly guess that they probably had not reconciled.
Han Jing shook her head: "Let’s not talk about this for now. I came today not only to see you but also because I have something very important."
Su Xingqiao was puzzled: "What is it?"
Han Jing rested her chin on her hand and looked at Su Xingqiao: "Brother Qiao, do you really plan to continue like this, without even establishing an Empress, and getting bombarded by the entire court every day?"
Su Xingqiao was slightly taken aback, not expecting her to bring this up.
In front of him, the girl’s face was absolutely beautiful, her expression carried a bit of playful mischief, making him couldn’t help but laugh softly.
She was still the same as before, still... the way that involuntarily makes his heart flutter.
Actually, he had let it go a long time ago, it wasn’t about waiting for something or wanting a specific outcome. It’s just that after her, he had never met anyone else who could make his heart flutter.
He knew his own heart, so he didn’t want to harm an innocent person.
If he were to marry a stranger, without any feelings, no matter how much responsibility or superficial kindness there was, it would all be a false facade. Even if the other party was willing to bear it, he did not want to cause harm.
He had seen many emotions that were superficial, leaving behind a lifetime of regret.
He didn’t want to engage in such pointless matters. If one day he truly got married, it would probably be because that woman had truly broken through all his defenses and really entered his heart.
If not, then why suffer mutual harm?
Su Xingqiao shook his head with a smile, gently saying, "Even you have come to persuade me, it seems I have indeed been willful."
Han Jing chuckled lightly: "Brother Qiao has changed a lot, but still remains Brother Qiao. I didn’t come to persuade you about that, I wanted to come and say... sorry. Brother Qiao, if it weren’t for me insisting on you taking this path back then, perhaps now you could still follow your heart without these unnecessary troubles."
No matter how much time has passed, Han Jing still remembers that boy she saw unexpectedly on the street when she lifted the carriage curtain, bathed in sunlight.
"Jing’er, I’ve said long ago, in that situation back then, if I hadn’t taken that step, perhaps I would still be regretting now, so I should thank you. Otherwise, the immature me at that time wouldn’t have known how to protect the people I wanted to protect. As for now..." As Emperor, indeed, there were too many things out of his control, but even now, he still does not want to do things he doesn’t like, though there is a tiny bit of confusion.
