Genius Doctor: Black Belly Miss Chapter 3115 - Can I Hug You?

Long Qi, nearly as intoxicated as Jun Qing himself, supported the staggering man back to his quarters. Though the Ruilin Army soldiers grumbled about losing their cherished flower to another, they grudgingly accepted it since the taker was someone they deeply respected, and thus ceased their complaints.

The feast drew to a close, with guests beginning to scatter.

Jun Wu Xie, as part of the Jun family, bid farewell to the visitors alongside Jun Gu and the others.

A hesitant silhouette approached the grand entrance of the Jun manor.

May I speak with you briefly? Qu Ling Yue asked Jun Wu Xie, who, even after motherhood and the toll of passing years, retained her stunning, luminous beauty from before.

With a nod, Jun Wu Xie handed her weary infant to Jun Wu Yao and accompanied Qu Ling Yue to the rear garden.

Lei Chen, who had come to the celebration alongside Qu Ling Yue, refrained from trailing after them. Yet, standing at the threshold and observing their departure, a wave of bitter anguish flooded his heart.

Under the moonlit glow in the garden, Jun Wu Xie and Qu Ling Yue wandered amid blossoms that appeared to shine even more vibrantly, as if sensing her divine aura.

High above hung the crimson silk, and while the Jun clan radiated unmistakable delight amid the departing crowd, not all shared in their happiness.

Silent as they traversed the garden and took their seats, the two stunning women exuded utterly contrasting auras.

Qu Ling Yue had shed her former innocence through countless ordeals, transforming into a figure no red-blooded man would dare belittle.

A iron-willed empress now, she bore no resemblance to the pampered urban miss of her youth.

Only now, beside Jun Wu Xie, did a gentle smile grace her features. Moonlight stretched their shadows long, rendering them worlds apart though seated so near.

I was raised in Thousand Beasts City. My mother passed early, but my father doted on me immensely, shielding me from all woes. I saw the world as kind, dismissing rare glimpses of malice as unrelated to me. Father always said that in time, I should seek a man who loves me truly and dedicates himself to my joy, regardless of wealth or skill, Qu Ling Yue recounted with a chuckle, her shadow shifting in sync.

I never imagined enduring what befell me; even now, it haunts like a dream unreal. Yet I cannot refute its occurrence, though details fadeperhaps my mind seeks to bury them.

Qu Ling Yues voice broke. She gazed at Jun Wu Xie, whose calm, quiet eyes held an undeniable warmth.

The warmth...

Stirred tears within her.

Wu Xie, Qu Ling Yue whispered tenderly.

Yes?

Can... I hug you? Her words came faint, laced with a subtle quiver.
