Chapter 63: His Identity
But now the jade pendant has fallen off Li Jingyang.
Lin Rusi shuddered as a terrifying thought surfaced in her mind.
She stared at Li Jingyang, who was standing right in front of her, her mouth agape in shock. "Is it you?"
"Was it you, the boy I used to pester every day?"
A gentle, tender smile bloomed in his eyes.
He gripped Lin Rusi's hand tightly. "You finally remembered."
Lin Rusi felt as if her heart had been gripped by two hands in that instant, making it difficult for her to breathe.
It really was him!
After giving the jade pendant to the young man, the eldest Madam of the Lin family passed away, and Si Yu became the new Madam of the Lin family.
Her treatment changed from that of a pitiful girl who was bullied by everyone to that of a pampered young lady.
So Lin Rusi didn't go to that temple for a long time, but she always thought about that young man.
When she returned to the temple, it had become a royal nunnery, and the young man was nowhere to be seen.
Lin Rusi searched for him for a long time, but he seemed to have vanished into thin air, completely disappearing.
At that time, Lin Rusi only had one playmate, a young man, and his disappearance saddened her for a long time.
But as life gradually improved, Lin Rusi was surrounded by many people, and he, who had always been hidden in her memory, was gradually forgotten.
Who could have imagined that they would meet again after so many years?
And that cold and aloof boy has become the unapproachable King Jinglie.
"So, does that mean Your Highness has always favored my daughter?"
Lin Rusi's eyes turned red, her eyes were covered with a layer of mist, and her voice trembled.
Li Jingyang didn't hide his thoughts and nodded slightly, "That's right."
“I have been by your side all these years, but you have not recognized me.”
A bitter look appeared on his face. "I really want to tell you my identity, but I haven't been able to find the opportunity."
"I finally had a chance, but then I learned that you are engaged to the Third Prince."
"I was almost ready to give up when I learned that you had dissolved your engagement with the Third Prince."
"I've seized this opportunity, and finally I can keep you by my side."
Lin Rusi could no longer hold back her tears and they fell.
It turns out that the young man she had been searching for all these years had always been by her side.
She just hadn't met him.
Lin Rusi scolded herself in her heart for being so weak, and tears fell one after another like pearls from a broken string.
Before long, she was sobbing uncontrollably, a complete mess of tears.
Why didn't you tell me sooner?
"I've really almost forgotten you."
Looking at Lin Rusi, whose face was streaked with tears, Li Jingyang chuckled and took out a handkerchief to gently wipe away the tears on her cheeks.
"Fool, I didn't want to bother you."
Lin Rusi shook her head, holding his hand, "It was never a disturbance."
"I'm sorry, Your Highness, my daughter only just recognized you."
She bit her lower lip, her eyes were wet, and she looked pitiful.
Li Jingyang held Lin Rusi's hand tightly and gently placed it on his left chest.
Beneath the thin fabric of his clothes, his heart pounded powerfully.
Lin Rusi's cheeks began to burn, and her whole body became hot.
"It's enough that you recognize them now."
"I am more afraid of missing out on you."
Li Jingyang dreamed of holding Lin Rusi in his arms.
And this image of holding hands and gazing into each other's eyes has appeared countless times in my dreams.
Every time Li Jingyang woke up, he would stare at the bed curtains, feeling empty inside.
Fortunately, fate saw his aspirations and allowed Lin Rusi to come to his side and become his future queen.
"You are my greatest wish all these years."
"I can finally achieve my goal."
Lin Rusi cried and then laughed, "If you had told me sooner, maybe we wouldn't have missed each other for so long."
She vaguely recalled her past life.
She had only met Li Jingyang a few times in her previous life.
However, I was deeply impressed by him.
Li Jingyang was handsome, like a fox, and one glance at him was enough to make you never forget him.
Secondly, he was always the first person she saw at every palace banquet.
At first, Lin Rusi didn't pay much attention, but after encountering her several times, she remembered it.
When she met Li Jingyang back then, she would only give him a cursory glance.
Every time their eyes met, she would casually look away.
In retrospect, each coincidental encounter was intentional on his part.
At that time, she only had Li Zeyan in her mind, so how could she have noticed Li Jingyang?
Fortunately, there was this lifetime, otherwise she and Li Jingyang would have missed each other for all eternity.
Lin Rusi felt a pang of bitterness in her heart and regretted her past actions even more.
She was blinded by greed and actually fell in love with Li Zeyan!
"Your Highness, this time my daughter will not abandon you again."
She looked up, quite certain of her feelings.
Li Jingyang was slightly taken aback, then nodded slightly, "Alright, this time I will hold your hand tightly as well."
Lin Rusi buried her face in Li Jingyang's arms, greedily inhaling his fragrance.
Li Jingyang was taken aback. He hadn't expected the usually reserved Lin Rusi to be so bold as to hug him directly.
After a moment of stunned silence, he hugged Lin Rusi with satisfaction.
"To be honest, this is my first time visiting the Jinglie Prince's Mansion."
"Shouldn't Your Highness show me around properly?"
After wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes, Lin Rusi took Li Jingyang's hand and said, "From now on, this will be my home with the Prince."
Li Jingyang took Lin Rusi's hand and led her on a stroll around the Prince's mansion.
"Our accommodations are all set up. What do you think?"
After His Majesty agreed to the marriage, Li Jingyang immediately renovated a courtyard.
The purpose is to ensure that Lin Rusi can live comfortably after marrying into the family.
Lin Rusi looked at the courtyard and her eyes lit up.
The scenery in the courtyard is well-arranged and in an excellent location, with good ventilation on all sides and facing the sun.
It's clear how much thought Li Jingyang put into everything from choosing the location to the interior design.
Lin Rusi couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat.
Compared to Li Zeyan's attitude towards her in her previous life, Li Jingyang treated her as if she were held in the palm of his hand.
Li Zeyan treated her like trash, carelessly throwing her in the yard and leaving her to fend for herself.
Lin Rusi's eyes welled up with tears, and she nodded vigorously, "I like it very much."
She turned to Li Jingyang, her clear black and white eyes looking directly into his eyes, "Your Highness."
"Ok?"
Li Jingyang stood in the courtyard, turned his head, and looked into his eyes with endless tenderness.
Lin Rusi pursed her lower lip, and the suppressed affection surged up like a tide, overwhelming her in the blink of an eye.
Lin Rusi had long realized that she felt differently about Li Jingyang.
I never imagined that this was love, and I never expected it to be so overwhelming after I discovered it.
Before Li Jingyang could react, Lin Rusi took a step forward and wrapped her arms tightly around his waist.
She clung to Li Jingyang like an octopus, and said in a childish voice, "You can't fall in love with anyone else."
