Chapter 638
"If your answer is able to satisfy me, I'll forgive you for everything: for not coming to meet me, and for . . . "—Lu Jinnian paused, remembering the night he had received her text, and his eyes darkened, but quickly, his tone stabilized—"everything you once said to me, I will be able to forget it . "
When Qiao Anhao finally saw a glimmer of hope, she stopped crying and looked straight into his eyes . "Tell me . "
After crying for such a long while, she wriggled her nose, looking exceptionally pitiful .
"Qiao Qiao . . . " After a moment of silence, Lu Jinnian continued as he looked into her eyes with pain, "Give me a reason . "
Confusion settled on her face . She opened her mouth but nothing came out . Just then, Lu Jinnian's suppressed voice reached her ears . "Give me a reason to believe that you love me . "
Regardless of how many times she said she loved him, regardless of how much she harassed him, even if she disregarded her image and cried contentiously, not willing to leave . . . Even if there were so many instances he could list that could convince him that she wanted to be with him but… he still needed a reason .
That "are you worthy" was enough to strip him of all his confidence and courage .
After asking the question, he remained motionless, staring straight at her .
Give him a reason to believe that she was in love with him?
Tears drenched Qiao Anhao's face, but she turned serious in an instance, her temples scrunching together as though she was in deep thought .
In the empty corner, it seemed unusually quiet .
Occasionally, there would be a faint buzz from the airplanes that flew past .
After only about two minutes, Lu Jinnian felt as though he had waited for an eternity . The grip on her shoulders started to lessen in strength, and just when he was about to let go, she suddenly spoke up . "Lu Jinnian . . . "

After crying, her eyes were bright and sparkly, the tip of her nose red and her hair tangled . She looked a mess, but he could see the sincerity in her expression . "Lets get married . "
If he needed a reason to believe that she loved him, she concluded that getting married was the best way to convince him .
"You once said that if no one wanted me, you would marry me . You can marry me now, and I'll give you the rest of my life, do you think this is enough?"
Lu Jinnian froze, his face impassive when he glanced at her .
After a long period of silence, he still didn't react, and uneasiness settled in Qiao Anhao's heart . Did he think that this reason wasn't enough? Or was he not willing to be with her?
After about half a minute, since Lu Jinnian was still motionless, her eyes started to turn red again . Anxiously, she added, "Lu Jinnian, if you don't think its enough, I can add one more . There's a child in my tummy now, you won't abandon the child, right?"

The Emperor's Concubine
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] The heroine is good and the villainess is evil. That was the absolute truth. That rule was undeniable as well as the fact that only the heroine would receive true love and her happy ending. Likewise, the malicious villainess would always suffer and leave the stage to clear the path for the perfect heroine in the end. So, for Blanche it felt like her world came crashing around her when she remembered the truth about her life. As the villainess in the typical romance novel “To Be Empress” she was fated to be condemned and abandoned by her lover. No matter how devoted she was to Theodore Estien, the emperor of Artias, she would only be the bratty concubine that would obstruct the heroine, who happened to be Theodore's lawful wife and the empress. In the end, the villainess would be deserted and executed. It was destined to happen like this, and yet she couldn't give up. She had to change the future. Preventing the romance between the main characters would get her killed. Much like trying to steer away from the enemies' intrigues, in which she was already caught up, would. But neither the heroine nor the emperor's political rivals would change the fact that Blanche loved the man that was supposed to be the heroine's. And no matter what happened she would always stay by her lover's side. So she wouldn't just follow the book's storyline and let her own doom arrive. Blanche would survive while trying to suppress all of the selfish desires that had made her the villainess. But was she truly fine with that? Did she not desire more than just surviving? Did she even have the right? Could the villainess ask for a happy end? Was she too brazen if she just wanted to stay with the man she loved and receive his affection? And wasn't there a bit more to this novel than she remembered? She didn't know and in the end that mattered little when the world around her changed with each day as more and more questions about the future and the past arose. "The Emperor's Concubine" will be updated thrice a week (usually on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays) *The Profanity tag was added due to the characters' occasional swearing, which should not happen too often.
