Chapter 507: Wanting to See Her Live a Fulfilled Life

"Alright, Jin'er."

Seeing that Jin'er had agreed, a huge burden lifted off Zhe Jing's shoulders. With the sky already bright, he lowered his gaze, smiled, and handed the mirror to Jin'er.

Jin'er glanced into the mirror and froze for a moment.

She had expected Zhe Jing to disguise her to look uglier, so she wouldn't be noticed by certain people. Thus, she braced herself to see a dark and unattractive version of herself. Yet, while she still looked like herself, the overall effect was strikingly different—almost unrecognizable to strangers but familiar to those who knew her well.

Her round eyes were now slightly almond-shaped, her face contoured to appear more oval, her nose refined, and her lips subtly smaller.

Jin'er marveled at the transformation, almost reaching out to touch her face before catching herself. "Zhe Jing, your skill is incredible! This looks like me, but also not like me."

Although it was different from her imagination of being completely disguised as another person, this result would clearly not seem too drastic to the Shen family.

Zhe Jing curled his lips. "This is more about makeup artistry than full disguise. If you're interested, I can teach you how to do it yourself."

Jin'er nodded eagerly. "Absolutely!"

She definitely wanted to learn. Such amazing makeup art, being able to change someone so drastically—wouldn't it allow her to freely alter her features? Plus, learning this would help her better dress up Miss!

Happily, she looked up and met Zhe Jing's lingering gaze. Her face instantly flushed red, her heart overflowing with sweetness, feeling like she might melt from the warmth.

But suddenly, she felt too shy to meet his gaze.

She stood up hurriedly. "I should go see Miss now—it's getting late!"

With that, she dashed out, as if Zhe Jing was some kind of monster chasing her.

As Jin'er dashed away, Zhe Jing chuckled softly and shook his head.

If she went in like this, my lady would surely notice something was amiss.

But... he also wanted to know Madam's thoughts...

After running out, Jin'er finally caught her breath, but her cheeks were still burning hot.

She touched her chest, feeling her heart pounding, and whispered to herself, "Is this really happening? Am I dreaming?"

Could such good fortune really happen to her, Jin'er?

When she reached Su Youyue's room and finally snapped back to her senses, she patted her cheeks and walked in. "Miss..."

Su Youyue turned and paused, taking in Jin'er's transformed appearance. "Zhe Jing's craftsmanship is quite good."

This kind of disguise would make people who knew her feel like she wasn't the same person, but to those who saw her daily, it would just seem like she had changed her makeup.

As she observed, she noticed Jin'er's red face and ears, which seemed unusual.

Her first thought was, could this girl be feverish?

"Jin'er, why is your face so red?"

Jin'er was startled and quickly touched her face. "Miss... is it really that red? I... I... just feel a bit warm."

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Youyue placed her palm on Jin'er's forehead: "You don't seem to have a fever."

Su Youyue was confused at first, but when she noticed Jin'er's face turning even redder, she suddenly realized what was going on.

"Jin'er, what did Zhe Jing say to you?"

"N-nothing, Miss..." Jin'er felt too embarrassed to say, she lowered her head, wishing she could disappear into the ground.

But Su Youyue understood, pinching Jin'er's cheek: "Silly girl, what's so hard to tell me? Did Zhe Jing finally ask for your hand in marriage?"

"How did Miss know?" Jin'er was stunned, only realizing afterward that Miss had hinted at it before.

How foolish of me.

Su Youyue teased: "Some people used to bring food even in wind and rain. I wondered if he would still come if it hailed one day, so how could I not know."

At this, Jin'er's face was completely flushed, wishing she could hide in Su Youyue's arms.

Luckily, there was no one else around to hear.

The shadow guards nearby exchanged awkward glances.

Zhe Ying, who was standing behind them, nodded thoughtfully.

Now it all made sense why Zhe Jing had been acting so strangely.

He had other intentions.

"So… does Miss agree?" Jin'er asked, crouching down and mumbling.

If Miss didn't agree, she wouldn't marry either!

Su Youyue looked at her cautious expression and hugged her: "Silly girl, how could I not agree? I'll only refuse if Zhe Jing dares to treat you badly."

She trusted Xie Yuan's people, which is why she felt comfortable considering Zhe Jing and Jin'er's future together.

Now that things were naturally progressing between them, how could she not be happy about it?

Sometimes, when she closed her eyes, she could still see the tragic scene of Jin'er's death from her past life.

She had one more wish in this life, and that was to see her Jin'er live a fulfilling life.

This time, it was Jin'er's nose that turned red.

"Miss, you're so good to me. I will repay you for my entire life!"

Su Youyue felt a lump form in her throat.

This sweet girl, in her past life, must have felt the same way, staying loyal to me until the very end, never once betraying me or lying about me.

"Jin'er, don't worry. When we get back to Yanjing, I'll make sure you have a beautiful and memorable wedding."

Jin'er smiled shyly. "Miss, a simple wedding would be enough for me."

Miss, you're the best person in the world.

She used the words she had just learned.

This Miss is one of a kind; there will never be another like her.

She could vividly recall the day she first entered the mansion.

She still remembered that it was a very cold day, and she was wearing thin clothes. Early in the morning, she was brought to the Su residence with more than twenty other young girls. They were all shivering from the cold.

The servant handler instructed them to be on their best behavior, saying that if they were chosen, they would serve as maids in the Miss’s courtyard, where they would live a life of comfort and privilege.

At the time, she was still naive and didn’t fully grasp what being chosen meant. However, she had never seen a courtyard so beautiful before. The walls were smooth and well-kept, the roof gleamed with polished tiles, and even in the dead of winter, red and pink blossoms adorned the garden. The entire courtyard was filled with a sweet fragrance, a stark contrast to the filthy, stinky conditions they had been living in.

In her innocence, she started to hope for a chance to stay.

How wonderful it would be to stay in this courtyard. She thought to herself... How wonderful it would be to stay in this courtyard.
