After this reminder, Chu Chenyi suddenly came to his senses as if a lightning bolt had struck him, and the knots in his heart scattered: "Then I'm going in. You two don't leave, you must wait outside. If you hear arguing inside, you must go in immediately!"
Before entering, Chu Chenyi still repeatedly warned them. If the two of them really couldn't control themselves and started arguing, Feng Jin would still need to go in and break them up as soon as possible.
He had to stop him, and absolutely couldn't let him make any irreversible decisions in a fit of emotion.
Stepping to the door, Chu Chenyi took a deep breath, nervously adjusted his clothes, and after confirming that nothing was out of place, he cautiously peeked through the door.
His heart pounded violently from nervousness, and his palms were sweaty with anxiety. After knocking, he immediately regretted it, because he still hadn't thought of what to say when he met Lin Yuwei.
But the door had already been knocked, and he couldn't go back on his word and run away. Otherwise, the two behind him would laugh at him for a whole year.
Seizing this moment, his brain raced, trying to organize his words, but after thinking for a long time, he could only stutter and couldn't form a complete sentence.
Lin Yuwei, who was inside the room, heard the knock. Thinking it was Feng Jin, she didn't think much of it and simply said in the direction of the door: "Sister Feng Jin, you can come in directly. The door isn't locked."
A long time after her voice faded, there was a period of silence in the air, and she still didn't hear the sound of the door opening. This made Lin Yuwei feel a bit strange.
Why hadn't Sister Feng Jin come in for so long? It had never been like this before, and she couldn't help but feel puzzled.
After hesitating for a long time, she slowly stood up and prepared to go out to see what was going on, to see who was playing tricks and being mysterious outside.
As soon as she pushed the door open, Lin Yuwei raised her eyelids and saw Chu Chenyi standing outside with a troubled expression. Then, the smile that had risen to her lips fell rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Lin Yuwei rolled her eyes, annoyance flashing in her eyes, and then she was about to close the door.
At the moment the door was about to close, Chu Chenyi quickly reached out his hand to block the door. As expected, his hand was severely pinched by the door, and Chu Chenyi cried out in pain.
Completely not expecting Chu Chenyi to reach his hand in, Lin Yuwei was also startled by the situation and subconsciously released the hand holding the door.
She was about to go and check on Chu Chenyi's condition, but reason triumphed over impulse. Lin Yuwei subtly withdrew the hand she was about to extend and kept her face as cold as ice. Even her words were cold: "Your Highness, if there's nothing else, please go back. I'm tired and want to rest."
After her words fell, Lin Yuwei was about to close the door again. This time, Chu Chenyi had learned his lesson and no longer foolishly blocked the door with his hand. Instead, he sidestepped and barged in through the gap.
Ling Mohan and Feng Jin, who were watching everything from the shadows, also slowly breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Chu Chenyi finally enter the room. At least he wasn't directly driven out, so there was still some hope.
Lin Yuwei was also full of helplessness, clearly exasperated. It was truly shameless. Chu Chenyi could do such a thing; he really didn't care about his reputation.
Since he was already inside, she, alone, found it difficult to drive Chu Chenyi away. She couldn't afford to get angry anymore. She took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in her heart.
She slightly loosened her grip on the doorframe and closed the door. She walked into the room and went straight to Chu Chenyi, snatching the half-embroidered tiger hat from his hand and placing it heavily on the table. Patiently, she issued the order to leave again: "Your Highness, when do you plan to leave?"
After all, this was within the Ling Manor, and it was not appropriate for her to be so disrespectful to Chu Chenyi. She still tried to maintain a gentle tone and spoke calmly.
Her intention was for Chu Chenyi to be sensible and leave quickly, not to linger here shamelessly, which would be truly ungrateful.
"You are this king's consort, the legitimate wife this king married with a formal ceremony and an eight-bearer sedan chair. How can this king not be allowed to stay in your room!"
Although these were words of warning, the aura from Chu Chenyi's mouth was clearly weaker, and it could not intimidate anyone.
Lin Yuwei rolled her eyes and didn't take Chu Chenyi's words seriously. If it weren't for the glory of the Pingyang Marquis's mansion, she wouldn't have tolerated Chu Chenyi to this extent.
Normally, if Chu Chenyi dared to be so arrogant, she would have already beaten him out with a stick. But now, for the sake of the child in her womb, she could only endure it for the time being.
However, she firmly remembered this debt in her heart. A gentleman's revenge takes ten years to be served. She would eventually get her revenge.
"What exactly do you want to do? There's no need to hide it, just say it directly!"
No longer playing guessing games with Chu Chenyi, Lin Yuwei spoke her mind directly. She wanted to hear what Chu Chenyi intended to do by shamelessly barging in.
The apology he had prepared was completely thrown to the back of his mind after seeing Lin Yuwei. He couldn't help but want to bicker with Lin Yuwei and gain a slight advantage in this regard.
Chu Chenyi wished he could slap himself twice. Why did he have to be so pleased with himself for a moment and almost forget the important matter, forgetting why he had shamelessly barged in.
He coughed lightly, adjusted his mindset, and discarded all pretense of dignity. Chu Chenyi walked up to Lin Yuwei and sincerely bowed, his gaze meeting hers at eye level.
"I've come to apologize to you. Everything before was my fault, and it was my bad. I promise from now on that I will never make you angry again. So, please be magnanimous and forgive me this time. Don't be angry anymore, okay?"
Lin Yuwei was stunned. She couldn't believe that such words would come from Chu Chenyi's mouth. For a moment, she forgot how to reply.
And... and more importantly, she actually felt a little moved upon hearing these words, and she forgot to withdraw her hand, which Chu Chenyi was holding.
Seeing that Lin Yuwei hadn't spoken for a long time, Chu Chenyi suddenly felt uncertain and even more worried.
He also didn't know what to do. Didn't Feng Jin say that if he apologized sincerely, Lin Yuwei might forgive him? But he had apologized, so why was Lin Yuwei showing no reaction at all?
