My bad father married a princess, my mother divorced me, and I became the group's favorite

Xiao Mu's voice sounded a little tense, like a guitar string that was about to break.

Liu Yunniang shook her head slightly and said softly: "The general has important matters to attend to and came here late at night. I believe he must have had no choice. How could Yunniang not know what is good for her..."

Xiao Mu had been staring into her eyes, not wanting her to continue deceiving herself, so he leaned forward slightly and interrupted her directly.

"Yunniang, I know that my coming here this time is very abrupt. But I want you to know that I really admire you and want to tell you my feelings. I don't want to lie to you or myself. I want to marry you."

Liu Yunniang raised her head suddenly. He was too close to her. Her heart skipped a beat, but she pretended to be calm and avoided his gaze.

She really didn't expect that he would be so direct.

She suppressed the emotions surging in her heart, stood up to move the candle, and at the same time quietly distanced themselves from each other.

Liu Yunniang moved the candle to the table beside her. The flickering flame swayed slightly as she moved, as if reflecting her inner uneasiness at the moment.

She lowered her eyes slightly and said softly, "I appreciate the general's kindness. But I don't dare to dream about it, and I am not worthy of the general's kindness. You are really embarrassed to say that."

Xiao Mu looked at Liu Yunniang who was deliberately keeping a distance from him, and felt a little disappointed, but he did not give up.

He took a step forward and said firmly, "Yunniang, why do you belittle yourself? You are very good and worthy of anyone's love. If you don't have any feelings for me, it's my problem. I'm not good enough to make you let go of the grudge in your heart. You can tell me frankly. There is no need to belittle yourself. I am not that dirty."

Liu Yunniang turned around and looked at Xiao Mu's burning gaze, feeling a sense of panic in her heart.

She moved lightly, bowed slightly, and sat back in her original seat.

She tried to stay calm and said, "General, you are the commander of an army and you are of noble status. Yunniang is just a commoner and a divorced woman. I really don't dare to marry someone of such status."

Xiao Mu frowned slightly and said, "What does identity and status have to do with our relationship? In my heart, you are more precious than anyone else. It's not your fault that we're getting divorced. I only care about you and whether you have me in your heart."

Liu Yunniang's eyebrows moved slightly, but her fingers in her sleeves were clenched tightly together, and the nails even pricked her palms, causing some pain.

She never thought that one day someone would say these words to her.

No matter what happens in the future, at this moment she believes that he really has her in his heart.

She respected him because he was a great hero who defended his country and an invincible god of war in the hearts of the people.

And she will inevitably live in the rumors and gossips in Beijing in the future.

She doesn't deserve it! She can't!

She sighed softly and said, "I have no way to repay the general's deep love. But now I just want to live a peaceful life with my daughter, and I dare not ask for anything else."

Xiao Mu walked towards her slowly, he squatted down slightly and looked at Liu Yunniang at eye level.

His eyes were firm and deep, leaving her nowhere to escape.

"I understand your caution. Don't worry, I won't force you. I will prove my sincerity with my actions."

They looked at each other, their eyes seemed to be soaked with ink, and they couldn't see the other person clearly.

Liu Yunniang was silent for a moment, then gently shook her head.

"Yunniang is not worthy of your love. If you don't mind, then Yunniang will accompany you from now on. Whenever you want to come, Yunniang will be waiting in this mansion. When you meet a good and considerate woman, Yunniang will be happy for you and will not make you worry."

When he first heard this, Xiao Mu thought that Liu Yunniang had finally accepted him.

But as he listened, he began to laugh softly, a laugh that contained suppressed self-mockery and a deep loneliness.

"You are willing to belittle yourself like this just to reject me? You hate me for forcing you, you can belittle me, but why do you say this about yourself?"

Liu Yunniang turned her head away, not daring to look into Xiao Mu's eyes.

"General, you misunderstood. Yunniang spoke from the bottom of her heart. I have no objection. I have always..."

Before Liu Yunniang finished her words, the emotions in Xiao Mu's heart surged like a raging tide and could no longer be contained.

He didn't want to listen to her words that belittled him anymore, so he took a step forward, gently grasped Liu Yunniang's shoulders with both hands, and forced her to face him.

Liu Yunniang raised her head in astonishment and met Xiao Mu's burning and painful eyes.

Before she could react, Xiao Mu lowered his head and kissed her fiercely.

This kiss was filled with endless dominance and tenderness, as if he wanted to pour all his emotions into it.

Xiao Mu's lips pressed tightly against Liu Yunniang's, and the soft and delicate touch made his heart melt instantly. His arms hugged her tightly, as if he wanted to rub her into his body.

Liu Yunniang's mind went blank. She had never expected Xiao Mu to do such a thing.

She wanted to struggle, but her body seemed to be fixed and unable to move. She could only feel Xiao Mu's strong emotions, and a complex emotion surged in her heart.

After a long time, Xiao Mu slowly let go of Liu Yunniang.

"you......"

Liu Yunniang was both shy and annoyed, her cheeks were as red as the sunset in the sky, making her look even more delicate and charming.

Thinking that her expression at the moment was all because of him, Xiao Mu stared at her in a trance, but was grabbed by Liu Yunniang on the arm.

Xiao Mu felt pain and frowned slightly, but did not dodge.

"General, you've gone too far!" He looked like an annoyed little civet cat, both annoying and embarrassing.

Xiao Mu was stunned at first, then he laughed out loud. His smile was mischievous, and he even looked Liu Yunniang up and down.

He gently held Liu Yunniang's hand and said, "Are you angry because your plan failed? You said that on purpose, probably waiting for me to get angry and never provoke you again, so that you can get rid of me completely, right?"

Liu Yunniang was speechless for a moment and wanted to pull her hand back, but Xiao Mu held it tightly.

Her cheeks turned redder, and a trace of panic flashed in her eyes.

"General, where do you come from? Yunniang doesn't understand."

Xiao Mu looked at Liu Yunniang's panicked appearance and became more and more certain that he had hit the nail on the head on what she was thinking.

He leaned closer to Liu Yunniang and whispered, "Why did you say those words? Do you know that every word you say is like a sharp blade, piercing my heart."

Liu Yunniang turned her head away, not daring to look into Xiao Mu's eyes.

"General, I just feel that I am not worthy of you. You are the commander of an army, of noble status, and I... I don't want to be a burden to you."

Xiao Mu gently lifted Liu Yunniang's chin and asked her to look into his eyes.

"Yunniang, in my heart, you are more precious than anyone else in this world. I can feel that you have me in your heart. It's my problem. I'm wrong. It's me who makes you unable to trust me. Give me some time and let me prove that I am worthy of your heartbeat."

Liu Yunniang's eyes were slightly moist.

"No, it's not your problem. I'm afraid. I'm timid. Why do you have to force me? I'm afraid that I will become a stain on you..."
