Rebirth of a Concubine's Daughter

The two were so close that they could even see themselves clearly in each other's pupils.

Lu Jiusi did not deepen the kiss, but just gently pressed against Shen Nanyan's soft lips. Shen Nanyan was not scared enough to close her eyes, but her heart was beating so fast that she almost forgot to breathe.

After a moment, Lu Jiusi slowly distanced themselves from each other, but his eyes were still fixed on Shen Nanyan's expression, trying to see if she disliked or rejected him. But it was obvious that Shen Nanyan had not recovered from the shock. Her empty eyes were still looking ahead, and her face was blank.

"It's time for me to go back."

After a moment, Shen Nanyan hurriedly said something and was about to leave, but Lu Jiusi stood in front of her.

"You haven't answered me yet, do you like him?"

"I...I...that's...no, he's the son of an old acquaintance of my father's. We...I..."

At this time, Shen Nanyan's mind was in a mess, but Lu Jiusi's idea was very clear. He just wanted to hear Shen Nanyan's accurate answer, otherwise he would feel uneasy.

"Do you like him?"

"He and I...this is only the second time we've met today. What do I like?"

Lu Jiusi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then why did you get engaged to him?"

"I don't want to either, but the Emperor is about to start the selection process. I've already reached marriageable age, and my parents don't want me to enter the palace, so they arranged this blind date. I'd rather marry into an ordinary family than enter the palace. What's wrong with me?"

"what about me?"

"You...you, what do you care about me?"

"Shen Nanyan, do you have a heart? After all this time...don't you feel anything at all?"

How could Shen Nanyan not have any feelings for such a long time? It was just that Lu Jiusi didn't say anything, so she didn't dare to think about it too much, let alone confirm her thoughts. What's more, Shen Nanyan had no plans to get married. Even if she was with Wang Wenyan now, she would not really marry into the Wang family in the future.

But it is impossible to say that she has no special feelings for Lu Jiusi. No matter how much Shen Nanyan doesn't want to admit it, she can't ignore her own heart. She will miss Lu Jiusi and worry about him. She originally thought that this was just a relationship between friends, but when Wang Wenyan held her hand today, she knew it. When Lu Jiusi held her hand, she didn't feel disgusted, and even felt warm, but it was not the same for others. She felt very uncomfortable.

"Shen Nanyan, listen carefully. I love you. I decided to marry you the moment you placed your hand in mine on the night of the Shangsi Festival. However, you haven't reached the age of marriage yet, so I could only wait. But now that you've finally reached the age of marriage, you're turning around and getting engaged to someone else. Do you know how nervous I am? Let alone the fact that you two aren't engaged yet, even if you were, I would kill the entire Wang family to get you back."

"So you're blaming me for getting engaged to Wang Wenyan now, but why? You're always like this, never telling me anything, and then always blaming me. Do I know you're waiting for me? Do I know what you're thinking?"

"Then I'm giving you a wedding dress, don't you understand?"

"Wedding dress...give...give me a wedding dress, doesn't that mean I can get married quickly?"

After hearing Shen Nanyan's understanding, Lu Jiusi was so angry that he almost laughed.

"I asked you to marry me."

Shen Nanyan's nose felt sore and tears fell. She couldn't explain why, but she just wanted to cry. But when she cried, Lu Jiusi panicked. He tried to comfort and coax her, but Shen Nanyan cried even harder. Finally, he raised his fist and hit Lu Jiusi again and again.

"I was wrong, I was wrong. It's my fault. I always thought you were still young and I was afraid of scaring you, so I didn't dare to explain it to you. I wanted to wait until you were a little older to tell you. Who knew things would change so quickly? Suddenly I received the news that you were getting engaged. I rushed back overnight, fearing that you would be with someone else."

Lu Jiusi held Shen Nanyan in his arms and comforted her softly, not daring to show any anger. Shen Nanyan gradually calmed down, but she was still angry in her heart.

"Let me go and go back."

"Don't be angry. I will discuss everything with you from now on."

"You said the same thing last time."

"I...but this wasn't something I came up with on a whim. I decided on it a long time ago."

"You are the one who said it, don't try to deceive me."

"If you don't believe me, you can look at the bracelet I gave you."

Shen Nanyan raised her hand and looked at the bracelet on her wrist, but it was very smooth and there was nothing on it.

"in."

Confused, Shen Nanyan took off the bracelet and carefully examined the inner wall of the bracelet, only then did she see the words engraved inside.

"Life is short, without you, what joy is there."

"Yes, I told you back then that I only want you in this life, maybe even longer than that, so long that when you first entered the palace and held me tightly by the lake, I already wanted to be with you. Yan'er, I like you for no reason at all. Even if you're not Shen Nanyan, or Wu You, or any of those weird things, I'm sure I love you. I just don't know how long I can live, but as long as I'm alive, I'll do everything in my power to protect you."

Lu Jiusi's affectionate confession was heard in her ears, but Shen Nanyan was still immersed in the four words "How can I be happy without you".

It turned out that Lu Jiusi already liked her at that time, that's why he cared about her meeting with Shang Ci in private, that's why he helped her brother, and that's why he treated her differently from others. All of this was because of his love. For some reason, an inexplicable joy slowly rose in Shen Nanyan's originally angry heart.

Perhaps with longer contact, a seed had quietly sprouted in her heart, but she herself had not discovered it.

"Yan'er."

"Who said you would die? Even if I die, I won't let you die."

These words sounded like he was angry, but Lu Jiusi couldn't help but smile.

"With you, I will be fine."

As he spoke, he reached out and hugged Shen Nanyan in his arms. Shen Nanyan struggled a bit like a spoiled child and tried to push Lu Jiusi away with her hands, but he hugged her even tighter.

"Don't discuss marriage with anyone else anymore. You can only marry me."

"Who wants to marry you? I don't want to marry anyone, but I can accept marrying someone more than entering the palace."

"Just stay in the house and I won't let you into the palace."

"Don't worry about it, I can handle it myself."

"Is your solution to get engaged to Wang Wenyan?"

"It's just an engagement, not a marriage, so why not?"

"Then you'll be engaged to me."

"Are you sick!"

"Anyway, you are not allowed to discuss marriage with anyone else. You can only be mine!"

Faced with Lu Jiusi's insistent confession, Shen Nanyan didn't say anything else, but reached out and pushed his handsome face close to her to the side. After a moment, Shen Nanyan's small hand slowly wrapped around Lu Jiusi's waist. When she lowered her head, there was shyness in her eyes.

The smile on Lu Jiusi's face was infinitely enlarged, and the air was filled with a sweet fragrance. After suffering for several days, Lu Jiusi finally felt relieved at this moment. It was worth it for him to run day and night and rush back from Danzhou.
