However, Deng Qiyue, who was standing by, obviously didn't think so. He quickly opened his mouth and said, "An An, don't talk nonsense!"

Hearing this, Su Shian blinked her big, lively eyes, looked at Deng Qiyue innocently, and asked in confusion: "I'm not talking nonsense, this is the truth!"

Deng Qiyue frowned, as if he wanted to explain something, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back. Finally, he just lowered his voice and muttered to himself: "There is nothing between us..."

However, Gao Shuyue did not feel shy at all. Instead, she said boldly, "Why don't you marry me? I will never marry anyone else anyway!"

"How shameless!" Deng Qiyue's face became a little unnatural. He was really embarrassed to face such straightforward words, so he turned around and left in a hurry.

Upon seeing this, Gao Shuyue immediately followed and continued, "What's the use of being embarrassed? Everyone in the entire Yuzhou City knows that I have been waiting for you!" Her tone was firm and persistent, as if she had made up her mind.

It was almost lunchtime when Huang Ming and his son came to visit. They brought many valuable gifts, including ginseng, ganoderma lucidum and other precious medicinal materials, as well as several uncut jades. After the two sides exchanged greetings, Huang Ming asked Deng Qiyue, "Brother Deng, can you talk to me alone for a while?"

"Of course, that's no problem. I've asked the servants to prepare tea in Junzixuan. Please follow me!" Deng Qiyue answered Huang Ming's question while making an invitation gesture. He turned to Su Shian and Su Shikuan and said, "You two should entertain Mr. Huang and Xiao Ran well."

"I know, Uncle Seven."

After getting the answer, Su Shikuan led everyone to the Qiyun Pavilion where they could have fun. At this time, Aunt Sun had already brought people to prepare a variety of snacks and sweet soups.

Huang Yibei picked up a piece of dessert and put it in his mouth. After tasting it, he couldn't help but praise: "Wow, An An, your food is really delicious."

"Since it tastes good, eat more." Su Shian looked at Huang Yibei's expression and thought that he must have something to say, but was embarrassed to speak directly so he tried to find a topic to start with.

Su Shikuan said nonchalantly, "Of course, everything Grandma Sun makes is delicious. It would be strange if it doesn't taste good!"

Xiao Ran calmly drank tea and ate snacks, with a faint smile on his face. He thought to himself, "This kid from the Huang family will definitely say something shocking later."

As expected, Huang Yibei first chuckled twice, then suddenly became serious, and said with an extremely serious expression: "An An, thank you very much for saving my life! If you were a girl, I would definitely make a promise to you without hesitation that I would marry you in this life and spend the rest of my life with you!" After saying that, he looked at An An with an affectionate look, even though he didn't know Su Shian was a girl, it seemed that he wanted to see the slightest reaction from her face.

"Hey, hey, hey, can you understand the situation?" Su Shian retorted with a serious face, "It wasn't just me who saved your life, it was all of us working together to escape. So, if you really want to thank someone, thank all of us, including yourself of course! But, there is one thing I must correct you. If I really saved you, you must never say things like you want to marry me. Please, this is not repaying a favor, this is simply revenge!"

Huang Yibei was confused: "Uh... why do you say that?" Xiao Ran and Su Shikuan on the side were also puzzled. In their opinion, devoting oneself to a man and marrying him/her is the highest level of repayment and commitment to a woman.

Su Shian went on to explain: "The reason is very simple. You don't understand what others really want in their hearts. How can you be so self-righteous and think that they are willing to marry you?" She paused for a moment and said earnestly: "I tell you, when it comes to love, you must never make promises lightly. Once you make a promise, you must keep it. Even if you meet someone who makes your heart beat faster in the future, can you guarantee that you won't hurt anyone?"

Xiao Ran said firmly: "It's definitely not possible!"

Huang Yibei disagreed and said with a smile: "That's not difficult, just marry another one."

However, Su Shikuan shook his head and said firmly: "I think it is enough to marry only one wife, just like my parents. They support each other and grow old together. This kind of love is the most sincere and beautiful."

Su Shian also agreed: "My second brother and I both believe that there are many women in the world, but it is best to drink from just one of the three thousand rivers."

Xiao Ran listened to their words, thought for a moment, and nodded in agreement: "You are indeed right!"

"Okay, I was wrong." Huang Yibei scratched his head helplessly and continued to ask: "Then I want to repay you, I can't just do nothing!"

"You can just ask her what she needs and then help her fulfill her wish," someone suggested.

Huang Yibei turned to look at Su Shian and asked seriously, "What do you like, Anan? Or is there anything you want?"

Su Shian was slightly stunned, looked into Huang Yibei's eyes, and asked softly: "Do you really have to repay me?"

Huang Yibei nodded without hesitation and replied, "Yes."

Su Shian thought about it, then smiled and said, "Well, I can't think of what I want for now, but if I encounter difficulties in doing business in the future, I should be able to think of it. How about you help me then?"

Although he was still young, Huang Yibei did not dare to make promises easily for things that he could not control. At this moment, he could not help but fall into deep thought.

Seeing this, Su Shian smiled and said softly, "Perhaps I was too vague just now. So, how about this. If you agree to help me do something in the future, it must be something that will not make you feel embarrassed and is within your ability. It cannot involve illegal crimes or treason, and it will never make you become an unkind, unjust, disloyal, or unfilial person. Do you accept this condition?"

"Well, that's fine." Huang Yibei nodded in agreement.
