Her hair was cloud-like and beautiful! She opened her eyes and found herself back in the third year

Chapter 115 If you betray me, we will never meet again in this life.

After listening, Cheng Yan remained silent for a long time before saying to her, "That will definitely be a long road ahead, perhaps a hundred or even two hundred years, and it will be difficult to reach that goal. What we need to do most right now is to live well."

"What we need to do is to do what we can do now, the most important thing, and leave the rest to those who come after us."

Qin Yizhen thought about it and realized, "I was just being presumptuous."

Born into a chaotic world, survival is the most important thing. As for everything else, we can plan for it when the golden age arrives.

Qin Yizhen thought for a moment, then got up and took a box from the cabinet, taking out a few sheets of paper: "What do you think of this?"

Cheng Yan took it and looked at it, then squinted: "The Department of Child Rearing?"

Qin Yizhen nodded: "This is something I discussed with everyone. On the one hand, it's to help find children who have been separated from their families, and on the other hand, it's to help orphans and the elderly living alone."

“I’ve allocated a manor there, and the annual profits from that manor will be used for the Care of Children. Also, since my personal guards are all idle, I plan to send fifty of them there to help find people.”

“I originally only said I would help find the lost children and even arranged for two hundred people, but Hongying felt that with such a vast sea of ​​people, it was really not worth spending so much manpower and resources to find them.”

"They also said that if they had this money, they would rather help some orphans and the elderly, so that children who have lost their parents can survive and the elderly who are lonely in their old age will not be destitute."

“I think she’s right. So we discussed helping some orphans and elderly people. It’s better than leaving them to die in the water.”

Therefore, the Department of Child Care was divided into two directions, taking care of all aspects and using the money where it was needed most.

“Let’s start with Qin Capital. If it works well, we can use the same method in other places. I’ll buy a manor and arrange for someone to manage it.”

Cheng Yan nodded after reading it: "The idea is indeed good, but the people you arranged to go there are too far away. As time goes by, they may develop other ideas, and then who knows who will end up with this money."

"Then send someone over to check it out."

"The journey is long and arduous, and it requires a lot of effort, but it's all we can do, whether it works or not." It's like the local officials sent out to various places; the court can only trust them and have them supervised by censors in order to get things done.

Perhaps there is no complete clarity, but if it can help most people, then it is already a success.

Cheng Yan reached out and patted Qin Yizhen's head, feeling a pang of emotion: "You've grown up."

His pat on the head and his emotional expression were like an old father lamenting that his daughter has grown up, which gave Qin Yizhen goosebumps.

She couldn't help but say, "You only realize I've grown up now? What about when you married me and slept with me before? Were you bullying a child?"

Cheng Yan choked.

Finally, he vigorously ruffled her hair and pinched her ear, saying, "I was wrong. You're not grown up yet, so how could I bully you like that!"

"You are shameless!"

"When have I ever had any face in front of you?"

Regardless of how despicable or unbearable it may seem, he no longer concealed himself from her. He was determined to steal her away, unable to tolerate her having eyes for anyone else, and wanting her to care about him and be devoted to him.

Life is so short, why bother hiding your true self from your closest loved ones?

"You promised me last night that you would not see Xie Zhan alone from now on, and you should also get rid of the others in the manor as soon as possible. I feel very uncomfortable about it. From now on, it will only be you and me together, and no one else."

Qin Yizhen paused upon hearing this, then looked at him seriously: "Do you really think that way? That I'm the only one for you in this lifetime?"

“You should know that you are young now and think you can stay with me wholeheartedly for life, but what about five or six years later, seven or eight years later, or even ten or twenty years later? You may not think that way anymore.”

Cheng Yan looked at her intently.

Qin Yizhen continued, "I'm more open-minded now. As long as you're happy, I can tolerate you taking two concubines. But if you promise me a lifetime of commitment, and I take it seriously, I won't allow you to have anyone else."

Throughout history, how many stories of lovesick men and women have there been?

Women are often the ones who suffer, their sincere hearts trampled into mud beneath their feet.

Take Wang Xianrong, for example; she gave her heart away early on.

But what's the use?

She waited and waited, but he never turned around to look at her. Now, her heart has turned cold, and she is determined to die.

Although Qin Yizhen felt guilty towards Cheng Yan and wanted him to live a good life, have two children, and live a peaceful life, her feelings for him were ultimately stronger than romantic love.

Now he wants her true love, to promise her a lifetime of devotion. She takes it seriously and forbids him from having anyone else.

Qin Yizhen gripped her sleeves tightly, her gaze on him particularly earnest.

"Love between men and women that lasts a lifetime is rare throughout history. I understand that you like me now because I am young and beautiful, but I will grow old eventually. When I turn thirty, you may find me too old and not as pretty and lively as a teenage girl..."

"Or perhaps, life has worn me down, and I am no longer the person you used to like."

"What I hope for is that we can live like this. I don't ask for your whole heart, and you don't ask for mine. If that's the case, and you find someone else in the future—"

Cheng Yan reached out and covered her mouth: "I won't have anyone else."

Qin Yizhen moved his hand away and continued, "Who can predict the future? Many loving couples in their youth end up as bitter enemies in their old age."

Especially in this world, it's common for men to marry wives and take concubines. If he wants to take one, and you prevent him from being seen as wicked and jealous, causing discord within the family, everyone will advise and criticize you.

Qin Yizhen didn't want to live that kind of life, nor did she want to live like Wang Xianrong.

"If you truly intend to commit to me for life, and I take it seriously, then you cannot betray me. If you do betray me..."

What if I betray you?

"Then let us never fail to meet again in this lifetime."

Cheng Yan's heart skipped a beat. He was about to say something when he heard her say, "If it really comes to that, it will be because you have broken my heart, made me hate you and resent you, and I will not even want to see you. There will really be nothing left between us."

Therefore, don't talk about sincerity, let alone a lifetime commitment. Leave yourselves some way out and some dignity, so that you don't end up resenting each other when you're old.

Moreover, she didn't want to suffer the pain of being a lovesick man and woman.

At this point, Qin Yizhen smiled and said, "Cheng Yan, I think we're fine as we are now. Let's not talk about forever, okay?"
