Zui Tao glanced back at Wu Chunzhe and whispered, "Miss, didn't the old lady tell you not to get entangled with the young master of the Wu family?"
Liu Yushu sighed helplessly. "I'm not the one getting entangled with him. He's the one bothering me." There's a big difference.
"Is he coming this way?" Liu Yushu asked Zui Tao, her heart pounding with excitement.
Zui Tao shook her head. "Miss, he left with his entourage. And he's going in the opposite direction."
"What?" Liu Yushu turned around and frowned at Wu Chunzhe's back. She miscalculated! She lost face in front of Zui Tao. Fuming, she ordered, "Let's go home."
After walking for a while, Liu Yushu felt a bit tired. She told Zui Tao to find a sedan chair while she took a break under a tree up ahead.
"Hey." Someone called out to her from behind. The voice sounded a bit awkward.
The voice was familiar. A sweet smile played on Liu Yushu's lips. Pretending not to hear, she reached up to grab the high willow leaves. Her fair hand tried a few times but failed.
Suddenly, a big hand plucked a willow leaf and held it out in front of her. Wu Chunzhe lifted his chin and taunted, "Shorty."
Liu Yushu glanced at him. Her bright eyes sparkled like rippling waves. Without saying a word, she turned around and walked away.
Huh?! Wu Chunzhe was stunned. Why wasn't she talking to him?
Liu Yushu walked with her back to Wu Chunzhe. The corners of her lips curled up slightly. "Did you get into another fight?"
Wu Chunzhe was a bit surprised that she'd ask this. Was she... concerned about him?
"No. I just taught a few rude guys a lesson." He caught up with her and stood in front of Liu Yushu. Looking down at her with his bright and clear eyes, he asked, "Why do you ask?"
Liu Yushu smiled. "No reason. Let me guess. Were you laughed at by those playboys in the capital? So you got into a fight with them, and then your father gave you a good scolding and punished you by not letting you eat?"
Wu Chunzhe was stunned. How did she know all this?! His father had closed the door when scolding him!
Liu Yushu saw the confusion in his eyes. The smile on her lips became even more mysterious. He was quite famous in the capital. Because of his background, he was always mocked by the young masters and ladies from powerful families. Zhao Qin was the first one to pick on him. In a fit of anger, he fought back and almost beat several young masters from powerful families to a pulp. Those families didn't pursue the matter because his father was a newly - promoted and favored official.
Wu Chunzhe's father was a rough man. When his son made a mistake, he didn't reason with him but just started hitting. And Wu Chunzhe was a tough guy who never admitted his mistakes easily. He was used to being beaten by his father since he was a child.
These things had spread in the capital, so of course Liu Yushu knew about them.
Wu Chunzhe was still injured, but his clothes covered the wounds, so she couldn't see them.
"I know a doctor. He's very skilled, especially good at treating external injuries. The golden sore medicine he makes is extremely effective. Even if the wound is gory, just apply it, and it will heal by the next day." Liu Yushu looked at the red mark on Wu Chunzhe's neck and felt a bit alarmed.
"Really? You're making it sound so amazing. There's no such miraculous medicine in the world!" He curled his lips. Then he rolled his eyes and asked, "Are you really going to marry Zhao Qin?" His voice dropped, and the confidence in his tone faded.
Liu Yushu felt a bit smug. Finally, this guy was getting to the point.
She realized that this chatterbox liked her!
Thinking about it, aside from being impulsive and talkative, he was actually a nice guy. He was good - looking and treated her well... But she didn't have romantic feelings for him.
Liu Yushu thought Wu Chunzhe was quite far from her ideal type.
The man she wanted to marry had to be a responsible hero!
However, Wu Chunzhe was no ordinary person. If he could focus his mind on the right things, he might become a fierce general in the future and defend the Yong Kingdom against the invasion of the Nanling Kingdom!
"What does it matter to you whether it's true or not?" She smiled and retorted.
Wu Chunzhe was deflated. He curled his lips. "I'm just reminding you because I think Zhao Qin is not a good person. Don't be ungrateful!" He turned his head and peeked at her from the corner of his eye. "If you're willing to marry him, you might as well marry me! I guarantee you'll never have to worry about food and clothing!"
Wu Chunzhe was not confident. He had drunk some wine in the Drunken Immortal Tower just now, which gave him the courage to say what was on his mind. He knew exactly what kind of person Zhao Qin was. He didn't want to see Liu Yushu jump into the fire pit!
Liu Yushu laughed. She thought his words were interesting. "Even if I don't marry Zhao Qin, why should I marry you? Even if I don't marry, I'll never have to worry about food and clothing in my next life. Are you more outstanding than Zhao Qin?!"
These words left the usually talkative Wu Chunzhe speechless. He suddenly lifted his right hand, which had been hidden behind his back, in front of her. "I'm going to marry you." He stuffed the wine bottle in his hand to her and walked away without looking back.
"Hey, I don't want your stuff!" Liu Yushu shouted anxiously, but Wu Chunzhe didn't even turn his head. His figure quickly disappeared from sight.
She took a closer look at the well - packaged white jade bottle in her hand. There were three flamboyant characters written in gold paint on it: Qionghua Wine.
