Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Chu Xiaohe remained silent.

Chu Yi knew his situation best. There were some things that even Ali might not know, but Chu Yi was a man and the one who took care of him closely, so how could he not know?

Chu Yi knew what the young master was worried about, but his thoughts were different from the young master's.

“Regardless of your health, Young Master, didn’t the Seventh Princess willingly agree to marry you? Since she was willing to marry you, it means that all obstacles are insignificant to her.”

Chu Yi might not understand or be able to fathom the girl's thoughts, but he could clearly see the Seventh Princess's affection for the eldest young master.

“Young Master, I know you have some reservations, but no matter what, tonight is your wedding night. You shouldn’t leave the Seventh Princess alone in the bridal chamber.”

Chu Yi knew that the young master might feel bad after hearing her words.

But he didn't want the young master to regret it in the future.

"No matter what the future holds, at least this moment belongs to you and the Seventh Princess."

Chu Xiaohe turned around and looked at the closed door in the distance. After a long while, he suddenly sighed.

"Perhaps you are right."

He walked toward his new house.

Chu Yi breathed a sigh of relief and finally turned and left.

Chu Xiaohe walked slowly to the door, still looking at it with some hesitation.

If you can't give her happiness, why give her hope?

But Chu Yi's words seemed to bring him to his senses. Whether it was hope or disappointment, that was a matter for the future. At least for this moment, he should give her a sense of reliance.

He finally pushed the door open.

Unexpectedly, Tuoba Liuli was not sleeping properly at all. Instead, she was sitting on the edge of the bed, quietly watching him when he entered.

"Li'er..."

“I’ve been waiting for you.” A captivating light shone in Tuoba Liuli’s eyes. She parted her thin lips slightly and softly called out, “My husband.”

The word "husband" sent a shiver down Chu Xiaohe's spine.

He couldn't hold back any longer, so he rushed over and hugged her tightly.

"Li'er, I'm sorry."

"Don't apologize to me. If you really feel sorry for me, then don't let go of me again." Tuoba Liuli also reached out and hugged his strong waist tightly: "I've finally managed to hold you in my arms."

Chu Xiaohe sighed, reached out, and hugged her tightly.

He longed to hold her tightly, but he was anxious, afraid that he couldn't give her a lifetime of happiness.

Tuoba Liuli buried her face in his chest, closed her eyes, and remained silent.

At this moment, silence speaks louder than words. She was actually a little afraid, afraid that she might say something wrong and upset him.

Tonight, I seem happy, yet I am also very sensitive.

She felt uneasy, afraid that he would suddenly let go and turn around to leave again.

Even Chu Xiaohe could sense the panic in her heart, and the more he felt this way, the more he felt that he was utterly despicable.

Finally, he let go and sat down beside her.

Tuoba Liuli was still flustered, unsure whether to continue holding him, when Chu Xiaohe grasped her hand again.

This time, he held her hand, cupped her face in one hand, and stared into her big, watery eyes.

Those eyes, so round, so bright! So clear and sparkling, they're incredibly endearing.

He asked softly, "When did you start to see?"
