The two of them locked eyes for a long time. Ju Linyuan felt that regardless of whether it was an illusion or not, he wanted to confirm the face hidden beneath the white veil.
So, he raised his hand, intending to remove the veil from her face.
Startled, Chu Jiuning quickly grabbed his outstretched hand and widened her eyes, saying, “Lord Ju… I know you have never been able to let go of Chu Jiuning in your heart, but you witnessed her death in my arms. If what just happened wasn’t an illusion, then who was the one who died in my embrace?”
She knew that no matter what she said, Ju Linyuan’s doubts about her wouldn’t easily dissipate.
After all, he had already seen her true appearance beneath the white veil.
But as long as she didn’t give him another chance to verify, he might not completely believe that she was indeed Chu Jiuning.
Ju Linyuan’s sharp and intense gaze darkened, and he stared directly into her eyes without saying a word.
