Chapter 389: We’ll Definitely Get Through This Together

Chapter 389: We Will Definitely Get Through This Together

Chun Ya had just stepped out of the room when she saw Shang Baiyi waiting there. After so many years, seeing him in the blue clan uniform of the Huo family made her eyes sparkle.

Shang Baiyi appeared gentle in demeanor, but in truth, he was a man of strong principles and backbone—reserved yet unyielding.

After years of tempering, paired with the clan uniform, he now carried the poise and authority befitting a scion of a noble house.

This was exactly the Shang Baiyi Chun Ya adored—someone who seemed unreliable at first glance but showed he could handle anything when it mattered.

Xiya, being sharp, turned and walked away without a word.

Chun Ya walked right up to Shang Baiyi and leaned in to kiss him.

Shang Baiyi pushed her away. "Watch where we are! This is a public place with people coming and going!"

Chun Ya wore a soft white chiffon blouse, sky-blue flowing palazzo pants, and white casual shoes—ready for anything from a brawl to a banquet without seeming out of place.

She stared intently at Shang Baiyi. "Are you sure? If you won’t kiss me, I’ll get my kisses elsewhere. I heard Zhang Ze might have a thing for me. He looks..."

Shang Baiyi was about to lose it. He pulled her close and bit her. "Do you even realize what kind of occasion this is? You live to drive me up the wall."

Chun Ya threw her arms around his neck. "You seemed a little tense. I just wanted to help you relax."

Her hand started sneaking under the hem of Shang Baiyi’s clothes. "Don’t dodge! Let me touch, let me touch—what's wrong with that? Can’t I touch my own husband? I’m not stopping at just feeling you up, I’m going to—"

Spotting someone approaching in the distance, Shang Baiyi hastily covered her mouth and growled between his teeth, "You’re really something. Just wait till tonight—I’ll make sure you regret this."

Chun Ya rose on her tiptoes and whispered in his ear, "I’ll be waiting. Make sure you bring your A-game and give me something good too."

With that, she kissed his earlobe.

Shang Baiyi was utterly helpless. He looked down at her with a mix of exasperation and amusement before finally leaning down to kiss her. "Fine. Just don’t complain later that you can’t take it."

Flushing pink, Chun Ya hugged him tightly. Shang Baiyi asked, "What kind of wedding do you want?"

Chun Ya replied, "As long as I’m with you—forever—that’s enough."

Shang Baiyi said, "That won’t do. When this is all over, we’ll hold a proper wedding, okay?"

Chun Ya nodded. "Mm."

When this is all over...

She looked up at Shang Baiyi. If things didn’t work out, she would walk into death alongside Young Master Lianyi without a second thought.

Jian Suiyu clutched Jiang Yuhua close in his arms. Jiang Yuhua gently stroked his head.

"Didn’t you say you wanted to get your way with me first? But ever since you came in, you’ve just been hugging me."

Jian Suiyu lifted his head and smiled. "Isn’t this me getting what I want?"

....

Jiang Yuhua already knew the whole story—about Jian Suiyu’s past with his mother, even the full extent of how they had controlled her and every move she’d made.

The more she understood, the more her heart ached for all that Jian Suiyu had endured, and for the pain and suffering his mother had borne to protect him and Blaze.

The first thing Aunt Chen wanted to do after being taken into custody was to see her. Jiang Yuhua sat across from her, and Aunt Chen smiled gently:

"Miss Jiang, you truly are an outstanding person. For Sui Yu to be with you—it’s him punching above his weight."

Jiang Yuhua shook her head. "No, Sui Yu is exceptional too. We’re a match made in heaven. Besides, I’m the one who’s crazy about him. He’s exactly my type. If he weren’t so sharp, I’d have made him my trophy husband."

As a ruthless CEO, who’d dare say no to her spoiling a man?

At this, Aunt Chen’s smile became much more genuine, looking oddly delighted at the idea of her own son being spoiled rotten.

Aunt Chen told her about their experiences—how everything had started when they met Shen Que, and how their harsh life in the refugee camp finally got better.

But because of that...

Aunt Chen said, "I was found before Yue Yue joined the team. But even before that, I’d been living in terror. I knew such a massive secret about the lab—why would they let me go?

Sui Yu’s health was deteriorating. He was coughing up blood daily, so bad he could hardly leave the house. And Shen Que was in deep trouble too.

When they found me, I actually felt relieved. I thought, *It’s here. It’s finally here.*

Better to face it head-on than live in constant fear.

Under those circumstances, no matter what they demanded, I couldn’t refuse."

Jiang Yuhua’s expression turned cold. "They’re vile. When the whole world is counting on the next generation to rise, they try to manipulate everyone into becoming pawns on their chessboard!"

Aunt Chen told her, "Yu Hua, I can sense that this game has completely changed since these children returned from the north.

Maybe it started shifting long ago. Or perhaps, the moment the other side chose to make their move through Yue Yue, they were doomed to lose.

Because everything she does is completely beyond what normal folks could guess."

Jiang Yuhua met Aunt Chen’s gaze firmly. "In this game, we’re gonna win this!"

Aunt Chen smiled, relieved. "Once this is all over..."

Jiang Yuhua cut her off. "After this is over, I’ll call you *Mom*, and you’ll hand your son over to me. Don’t worry—I’ll treat him well.

Mansions, supercars—if he stays loyal, he can spend my cash however he wants."

This left Aunt Chen floored. "...Huh?"

She couldn’t help but ask, "And if he *does* stray?"

Jiang Yuhua smiled. "Then I’ll snap his legs, stuff him in the fanciest gold cage, and wring him out daily.

Imagine him suffering, forced to stay with me while loving someone else—broken, shattered. Sounds hot, right?"

Can’t blame her. She’d originally decided to let Jian Suiyu go—but *he* was the one who chased *her*.

Aunt Chen couldn’t help but applaud. "Brutal. I love it."

Jiang Yuhua humbly replied, "Thanks, Mom, for raising such a catch. I hit the jackpot."

Aunt Chen knew Jiang Yuhua was saying all this to ease her worries and reassure her. She knew damn well how much Jiang Yuhua cared about Wu Yue.

The Jiang family's stance on this matter is already clear—all pawns will be let off the hook.

But the people pulling the strings, every high-ranking participant, everyone who sought to profit from this scheme—

They’ll pay—in blood!!

Blood for blood, life for life. Kill them all—leave no one standing.

Jian Suiyu listened as Jiang Yuhua reassured him, telling him his mother was already in a very safe place.

Jiang Yuhua, "Relax a little, don’t be nervous. You’re not in great shape."

He picked Jiang Yuhua up, "You want to keep me as your caged songbird?"

Jiang Yuhua, embarrassed, "That’s not what I meant. Your mother seemed really anxious at the time, and I was afraid she might do something stupid."

Jian Suiyu began kissing her, "Mm, reassuring my mother was real, but wanting to keep me as your canary was also real."

Jiang Yuhua, annoyed, "You can’t keep using *Zhenzhen* to read my mind!"

Jian Suiyu raised his hands, "My hands are kinda full right now, no time for *Zhenzhen*. I didn’t even use my *awakened ability*—I just guessed."

Jiang Yuhua, even more annoyed, "Can you stop guessing so accurately?! I have no privacy left at all!"

Jian Suiyu suddenly said, "Yuhua, you can’t smudge your makeup, right? And this dress is a pain to get into, huh?"

Jiang Yuhua, confused, "Huh? What about it?"

Jian Suiyu had her sit on his lap, gazing at her, "Then you might have to do the work yourself. Or… would you prefer I do it with my mouth?"

Jiang Yuhua couldn’t believe Jian Suiyu would say something that filthy!!!

Furious, she snapped, "Jian Suiyu, I’m warning you—one more word like that and I swear, I really won’t want you anymore!!"

Jian Suiyu put *Zhenzhen* away, "Mm, so you *do* prefer I use my—"

Jiang Yuhua clapped a hand over his mouth, her face burning red, her whole body shaking all over, "Stop talking!!"

Jian Suiyu suddenly pulled her into a tight embrace, leaning in close, watching as Jiang Yuhua’s gaze grew hazy.

He chuckled softly,

"Miss, come on, I’m good at what I do, and I’m exactly your type. You’d really throw me away?"

Jiang Yuhua slumped weakly against him, letting out an uncontrollable whimper,

"You’re bullying me again."

Jian Suiyu held her tighter, whispering fervently:

"Yuhua, I love you.

Thank you… for still being with me, no strings attached, even after learning everything."

Jiang Yuhua hugged him back, "Suiyu, I love you too.

I believe… we’ll beat this together."

Jian Suiyu, "Yeah."
