Liu Yushu felt her hand suddenly grasped tightly by him. Wu Chunzhe hesitated for a long time and finally made up his mind. Looking at her, he said word by word, "Marry me." His tone was extremely firm. "Let me protect you."
"Okay." She agreed with a smile. This time, she meant it from the bottom of her heart. She didn't want to think about all the other disturbances. Facing a man who truly loved her, she chose to seize the opportunity. No matter whether she was worthy of him or not.
Regardless of what she had done or what mistakes she had made in the past. She was just an ordinary mortal, an ordinary little woman, longing to be pampered. She also wanted to be happy.
"However, not now." As soon as Liu Yushu said this, the smile on Wu Chunzhe's face faded slightly. His sword-shaped eyebrows frowned tightly. "Why?"
"I still have something to do. I beg you, must wait for me, wait for me to be your wife, wait for me to give birth to your children." Liu Yushu's expression was earnest and urgent. There was a faint uneasiness in her heart. Since her body was injured by Wu Qing, she didn't dare to mention having children. She was afraid that she had become disabled. And Wu Chunzhe was the only son of the Wu family. He couldn't be without an heir.
A trace of melancholy welled up in Liu Yushu's eyes.
"I'll wait for you. No matter how long it takes, I'll wait." Wu Chunzhe swore to her again.
Liu Yushu's eyes grew hot. She reached out and supported the back of Wu Chunzhe's head, gently hugging him. At this moment, Wu Chunzhe's eyes widened in surprise. This was the first time she had taken the initiative to hug him. He would die without regret. He closed his eyes, tightened his arms around her, and held her tightly in his arms. The two of them were silent, just wanting to possess each other.
After a long time, the two reluctantly separated.
Liu Yushu had a lot of questions to ask him. "How's your heart?"
When this matter was mentioned, Wu Chunzhe's expression became solemn. "Well, it's okay. It's still beating. It can still feel joy and excitement because of you. My heart isn't dead." He once thought he wouldn't be able to make it through, but thinking that he still had his father's revenge to avenge and her to marry, he gritted his teeth and survived the long and difficult war.
During the lonely military camp life, he prayed every day that the rest of his life would be peaceful and smooth.
As the old saying goes, peace is a blessing. In the past, he thought it was not worth mentioning, but now he felt that this saying was really a profound truth.
"Don't worry. From now on, let me protect you. I'm back. You don't have to be afraid of anything." Wu Chunzhe solemnly swore to Liu Yushu.
Such an oath had also been made to her by Wu Qing before. Although Wu Chunzhe was different from Wu Qing, she didn't know whether she should believe Wu Chunzhe or not.
She was afraid of getting hurt. Really afraid.
After some thought, she smiled and nodded to Wu Chunzhe. "I believe you." She thought she should give Wu Chunzhe a chance. He wasn't Wu Qing. He was different from Wu Qing. Let her take a gamble and bet that Wu Chunzhe was the right man destined for her.
"Do you want to marry me?" She stared into his eyes and asked, with an extremely serious expression.
"Yes." He answered without hesitation. He had made up his mind that in this lifetime, he only wanted Liu Yushu as his wife. He wanted to have children with her, grow old with her, and finally be buried in the same tomb.
"Remember your words. Otherwise, I'll kill you." Liu Yushu's tone was firm. The resolute look in her eyes told him that she meant what she said.
"If I break my oath, you can do whatever you want to me." There was a faint glimmer of tears in Wu Chunzhe's eyes. He had finally waited for this day, waited for her to be willing to marry him and become his wife.
He felt as if he had waited for a lifetime. But the wait was worth it.
The winter night was cold. She hugged him tightly for warmth, and so did he.
They had agreed to go back in an hour, but she ignored the time and stayed for six hours. The sky was almost dawn. She nestled in his arms and smiled sweetly. "In the future, you have to take good care of yourself. Don't forget, you're the one who's going to marry me. You can't just throw your life away casually."
His face was beaming with a smile. He nodded. "For you, I'll live better. You believe me. I'll definitely make you the happiest woman in the world. I'll get back everything you've lost in the past one by one." Since her family had fallen into ruin, he would rebuild it for her. He would make her have both power and wealth.
"You're such a fool." Liu Yushu scolded with great emotion, then raised her head and stole Wu Chunzhe's first kiss.
In the ice and snow, he didn't even notice the cold. Instead, he was so shocked that he stood there stupidly and couldn't say a word for a long time.
Liu Yushu pursed her lips. "Did I scare you?" She was worried that she had been too bold and scared him. After all, she was no longer the innocent girl she used to be. She knew exactly how to make a man submit to her. She naturally had feelings for Wu Chunzhe, but there was more of a sense of control. She knew that she could change her current situation by relying on Wu Chunzhe.
Wu Chunzhe shook his head stupidly. "No, no. I... I'm very happy." He was a bit at a loss, feeling like a wooden stake in front of her. He felt so embarrassed.
Liu Yushu's cheeks were burning hot. She gently tapped his head with her hand and replied shyly in a low voice, "If you're happy, just keep it in your heart. Don't say it out casually. I'll be proud." Her eyes were rippling with waves. Without noticing, she made him even more infatuated.
Liu Yushu had transformed into a little witch.
"Okay. I'll keep it in my heart next time." Wu Chunzhe knew that his stupid behavior just now had embarrassed her.
"Can I call you by your name in the future?" He asked cautiously, seeking her opinion.
Liu Yushu nodded with a smile. "As long as it's not too ugly, you can call me whatever you want."
"Can I call you 'wife'?" He couldn't wait to marry her.
"Not now, stupid." Liu Yushu gently patted Wu Chunzhe's head again.
Wu Chunzhe stuck out his tongue playfully.
The sky was already bright. The thick snow where the two of them were had been melted by their passion.
He looked at the beauty beside him, reached out his hand into the sky, and said, "Xiaoshu, quickly catch this auspicious cloud."
"Okay." Liu Yushu cooperated with him. She spread out her hands, took a deep breath. The air in the winter morning was fresh and cool. She exhaled a puff of air. "I've already eaten the auspicious cloud. From now on, the air I exhale will be immortal air." She pretended to be profound.
He laughed happily when he heard this, thinking she was really cute.
You should know that the past Liu Yushu would never have accompanied Wu Chunzhe in such childish behavior.
To avoid being discovered by Mama Xie, Wu Chunzhe sent Liu Yushu home as soon as possible. When they parted, the two made an appointment for the time and place of their next meeting.
As soon as she knocked on the window three times, Mu Chan quickly opened the window.
Mu Chan had an expression of almost crying. She thought Liu Yushu had finally come back.
Liu Yushu quickly lay down on the couch and pretended to be asleep. After a while, she heard Mama Xie come in and whispered to Mu Chan, "How did the young lady sleep last night?"
Mu Chan replied, "Very well. The young lady slept soundly until dawn just like the previous nights. She hasn't woken up yet."
Mama Xie went out satisfied after hearing this.
Liu Yushu breathed a sigh of relief. Mama Xie was really here to test her! If it weren't for Mu Chan secretly changing the incense, she would definitely have fallen into Du Gu Fuya's evil plot.
Now that she knew Mama Xie's true identity, she had to be more vigilant in the future.
To avoid arousing suspicion, she couldn't get rid of Mama Xie for the time being.
Mu Chan let out a long breath and sat on the ground with weak legs. "Young lady, why did you come back so late? Mama Xie came several times in the middle. I managed to fob her off with great difficulty. I was almost scared to death."
"It's okay now." Liu Yushu felt a bit apologetic. She was sleepy and tired. She lay on the couch weakly to rest, planning to have a good sleep.
"Are you awake, young lady?" Mama Xie's voice sounded outside the door.
