Marry my elder sister? Fine! I'll give you the letter of annulment and marry someone else.

"I do not know."

Xie Ting was stumped by this question. He was always eloquent, but suddenly he couldn't think of the right words to describe how he felt.

It was like he liked A-luan, not because of her pretty appearance, not because of her slim figure, and not because of her outstanding talent or martial arts skills.

He liked her purely for no reason.

Just because she was A-luan, her joys and sorrows, her laughter and scolding, her beauty and ugliness, all combined together to form the unique A-luan that he liked.

Hearing this answer, A Luan was inevitably disappointed, "I thought you would praise me a lot."

It turns out that men still prefer gentle women. There is really nothing to praise about her temper.

Her face was calm, but her tone was a little distressed.

It's hard to imagine that this was the expression she had when she confessed her feelings to a man.

There wasn't even a hint of ambiguity between them at this moment.

"Ahem, Alua, I'm expressing my feelings to you. Aren't you a little embarrassed?"

Sometimes a girl's blushing face, a shy glance back, or a hesitant look can all let the other person know her attitude.

But A-luan didn't act like that at all. She was very businesslike and seemed to be discussing enemy defense tactics with him.

Ah Luan didn't understand and said, "Being liked by others is something to be happy about. Why should I be embarrassed? I'm very happy that you recognize me."

"But I don't see that you look happy at all." Xie Ting felt a little aggrieved.

At this moment, he finally calmed down.

Anyway, the words have been said and cannot be taken back. The worst that can happen is rejection, which a grown man can bear.

Judging from A-luan's expression, there's probably no hope.

He was sad and began to comfort himself in his heart. He was really rude this time and he should spend more time with Aluan to cultivate their relationship.

At least we should wait until the integration of Li State is completed.

If he said this suddenly, she would definitely think that he was just speaking on a whim.

Ahhh, he was really too careless.

Xie Ting felt a little crazy. He felt inexplicably sad when he saw Cang Jian unconscious, and he thought of himself for a moment.

They are soldiers fighting on the battlefield. Swords and knives are merciless and they may lose their lives one day.

So he didn't want to regret it, and he didn't want to be like Song Chenfeng, who clearly liked someone but had to hide it in his heart, and ended up hurting so many people.

If you like someone, you should say it, right?

Xie Ting suddenly felt relieved.

Yes, he did nothing wrong, and he was right to say it.

Whether to say it or not is his business, and whether to accept it or not is Aluan's business. At least he has no regrets.

Ah Luan explained softly, "I'm not unhappy. Maybe I've just gotten used to not showing my joy on my face lately."

She is not an invulnerable god, nor is she detached from the mundane world. At the beginning, when facing Song Chenfeng and Cuihua, she would always reveal her emotions inadvertently.

By the time she returned to Lecheng, she had been able to control her emotions well and it had become a habit.

Suddenly, she looked at Xie Ting seriously, "You heard what Lord Liu said that night. Would you mind my past with Song Chenfeng?"

Even though she thought she had handled this relationship well, which died in the womb before it even began, it was now known to everyone.

Now on the battlefield, everyone knows her character and there isn't much gossip or quarreling, but what about when they return to Lecheng?

I don't know how much gossip I'll hear along the way.

Even if you are innocent, you will not know how the rumors will spread.

So, she pointed out this issue in advance.

"Xie Ting, if we're together, it means you'll be criticized too. If you don't want to get involved, just go back and tell everyone we don't get along, and you can stay out of it."

"Do you think I'm the kind of person who can't stand a few words of gossip?"

Xie Ting blinked.

"Not like."

A-Luan made a pertinent evaluation.

"That's it."

Xie Ting's eyes flashed with caution, "So what do you mean? Do you want to try to be sincere with me? Don't worry, I know the rules of your Song family. From now on, I will only have you as my wife and will never take concubines."

Ah Luan thought for a moment and said, "Don't make promises that are too far in the future. I promise you I'll give it a try. From today on, I'll treat you as a man for marriage, but I can't guarantee I'll fall in love with you."

Life is so long, and now he says these nice things to move her, but who knows what will happen in the future.

He can go one year without taking a concubine, but what about three years, five years, or ten years?

Will he regret it when he sees that everyone around him has many wives and concubines? Will he feel resentful and think that she is blocking his romantic path?

Would anyone else in the Xie family agree? What if she couldn't give birth to a son?

Life is not a sketchbook, and she will never be too idealistic.

All she wanted was stability.

As long as I can live a peaceful life, as long as I don't have to worry about being bullied, as long as I can protect Xie Yinyin, everything is enough.

Aluan's eyes were long and dark, and her world was very small, so small that at the beginning there was only Xie Yinyin.

Later, Song Zhi joined the group, as well as Song Chenfeng who stayed briefly.

But Song Chenfeng caused the current situation, so it was difficult for her to give her heart to him again.

Rather than getting hurt, it is better to close your heart and lock away your love from the beginning.

Yes, seal the heart and lock the love, that's what she thought from the beginning, she even wanted to live out her life alone, so when Xie Ting suggested to put on a show, she agreed without hesitation.

She never thought that Xie Ting would like her.

"Xie Ting, our rules remain unchanged. If one day you find someone you like, just tell me directly and I will help you."

Please don't let her become the culprit who hurts others without realizing it.

"Okay."

Xie Ting grabbed A Luan's hand and said, "I like you. Please help me."

The logic behind this statement was immediately applied. Alua didn't expect Xie Ting to react so quickly.

He looked at Xie Ting in silence, his chin slightly raised, a smile on his lips, and his tall figure showed a bit of deliberate arrogance.

Perhaps this smile was so contagious that A-luan couldn't help but laugh along.

Xie Ting is really a happy person. When she is with Xie Ting, she often smiles like this.

Where Xie Ting couldn't see, A Luan's heart relaxed a little.

The two walked side by side towards Hualuo City. Xie Ting was very conspicuous as he dragged A Luan around everywhere, saying to everyone he met, "See this beauty? I will marry her sooner or later."

Aluan followed him with a smile on her face. On this day, joy became concrete, and the setting sun seemed to have warmth.

She likes this kind of open and aboveboard determination and preference.
