As soon as he finished speaking, the world fell silent in an instant, and even the wind seemed to have stopped, trying to eavesdrop.
Shen Nanxing stopped crying. Her eyes were red and she stared at the man's always cold and indifferent eyes without blinking.
At this moment, those eyes were filled with tenderness and love, reflecting her silly appearance, the messy hair, the disheveled face, the red eyes...
After a long while, she pursed her lips and asked woodenly, "What did you just say?"
"I...I didn't hear clearly..."
The more she spoke, the lower her voice became and the lower her head lowered.
She looked like a shy young wife, completely different from the one who had just been throwing a tantrum and swearing.
After Fu Jiuli said the four words that had been in his heart for a long time, the thick fog that had been shrouding his heart suddenly dissipated.
I felt a sense of relief I had never felt before.
He cupped her face in his hands, leaned over and placed a gentle kiss on her moist red lips, separating them as soon as they touched.
He stared into her eyes seriously: "I like you, Shen Nanxing."
When Shen Nanxing raised her eyes, she met the man's deep black eyes and was immediately stunned.
It was as if I had traveled through time and space and returned to her grave in my previous life.
Those deep eyes were filled with undisguised passionate love, so strong that it almost overflowed. She had only seen such a passionate look in his eyes in his white-haired state in front of her grave in her previous life.
It’s different from that time.
His long hair is still jet black, neatly tied up with a black jade crown, and what is reflected in his eyes is no longer the cold tombstone.
But she is alive.
He said he liked her.
The tears that Shen Nanxing had just held back suddenly fell uncontrollably.
She clutched the front of his shirt tightly with both hands and wanted to say something, but as soon as she opened her mouth she couldn't help sobbing. She cried even harder and couldn't utter a complete sentence.
The man looked helpless. He reached out to wipe her tears, but he couldn't wipe them away. He simply pressed her head in his arms and let her tears wet his clothes.
"Why are you crying again?"
"You thought I didn't like you before, and you cried. Now I admit that I like you, and you're still crying..."
"So crybaby..."
"Tell me, what should I do with you?"
The man's voice was unusually gentle, yet contained a hint of helplessness.
Shen Nanxing didn't care what he said. She just hugged him and cried until her heart was content.
During this time, he kept holding her and coaxing her without a trace of impatience.
Until Shen Nanxing was tired of crying and burped, she wiped her tears with the lapel of his shirt, raised her disheveled face, her eyes were red, and her small nose was also red.
She looked up at him: "You said you liked me, yes or no?"
A hint of smile appeared in Fu Jiuli's dark eyes. He couldn't help but raise his hand and gently scratch her nose: "Yes."
"Then you are not allowed to regret it." There was a hint of crying in the woman's cute voice.
"No regrets."
"Then let's pinky promise!" Shen Nanxing said, extending her delicate little finger towards him.
Fu Jiuli was slightly stunned, then he stretched out his slender little finger and gently intertwined it with the woman's little finger.
Shen Nanxing's eyebrows curved, her eyes sparkling with tears. She hooked her finger with his and swung it back and forth, chanting like a child: "Hook and hang yourself, no lying for a hundred years. Whoever lies is a puppy."
Fu Jiuli just looked down at her with a smile on his face.
After she finished reading, he cooperated with her and put his thumbs together. This was considered as the seal and there was no going back on it.
After stamping the document, Fu Jiuli still remembered the important matter.
He gently held her shoulders and said, "We have to go back quickly."
Shen Nanxing's eyes, washed by tears, were sparkling. She looked at the man's handsome face and couldn't hide the smile at the corner of her lips.
Hearing him say this, he casually asked, "What are you going back for?"
It’s not even dark yet, and she hasn’t spent enough time with him!
Fu Jiuli frowned slightly and said, "The Hu family is going to the Marquis' Mansion to propose marriage today. We have to ask the old Marquis to reject this marriage."
Shen Nanxing's eyes moved, and she thought of his earlier sour words about her getting married, and she quickly figured out the connection.
It must be the Hu family coming today.
As for the marriage proposal, it should be the Hu family who proposed to Shuang'er's brother...
Although he didn't know why the woman came to propose marriage, he knew it was the right thing to do. After all, his grandfather and brother knew that she only had Fu Jiuli in her heart, and they would definitely not arrange a marriage for her with Hu Lin without even informing her.
However, regarding the matter between my brother and Shuang'er, my grandfather had a verbal agreement with Minister Hu.
Perhaps Fu Jiuli misunderstood the news and thought Hu Lin was going to marry her, so she hurriedly kidnapped her from the Marquis' Mansion...
Having a clue in mind, Shen Nanxing decided to tease him.
She suppressed her laughter, put on a stern face, and said seriously: "This marriage is very good, why do you want to go back?"
Fu Jiuli was stunned for a moment, then his expression darkened: "Do you think this marriage is a good one?"
Shen Nanxing nodded seriously: "Yes, it's good."
Fu Jiuli's dark eyes were filled with disbelief, and the aura around her instantly became cold and stagnant: "You still want to marry Hu Lin?"
He grabbed the woman's wrist and pulled her in front of him. The corners of his eyes were tinged with red as he stared at her intently: "Then what am I?"
Shen Nanxing met his cold eyes directly, pursed her lips, and asked him: "If you don't want me to marry Hu Lin, then who should I marry?"
Their eyes met, and they were both stunned.
It was so quiet that only the slight rustling of the grass could be heard.
Finally, Fu Jiuli was the first to look away. After a pause, he said in a dry voice, "You..."
There was another long silence.
He finally managed to utter the words: "Will you... marry me?"
