Resisting the Wind and Splendor

"Li'er," Chu Xiaohe suddenly called out.

Tuoba Liuli was initially very uncomfortable, feeling...an inexplicable inferiority complex.

But when he shouted that, my mind was instantly captivated again.

She never imagined that she would be able to lie in his arms and be held by him like this in her lifetime.

But upon reflection, it seems they had never been so close before.

Even on their wedding night, before they could even get intimate, he had already led his troops into battle.

"Li'er." Chu Xiaohe looked at her face, which she still wanted to hide from, without forcing her to face him, but his gaze seemed unable to leave her face.

"Could you call me Brother Chu again?"

Tuoba Liuli was startled, and her five fingers clenched tightly.

It's not that she can't call out, but rather, she's just too insecure.

She looks so much older than him now; calling him "Brother Chu" makes him seem so young.

But she's really too old.

"I……"

"Li'er." Chu Xiaohe suddenly cupped her face and lifted it up.

"No!" Tuoba Liuli was so shocked she almost fainted. She tried to struggle, but this time, he held her firmly and wouldn't let her get away no matter what.

Tuoba Liuli had no strength at all; she couldn't break free.

The moment our eyes met, tears streamed down my face.

"Brother Chu, please don't do this, I... I look so ugly."

"In Brother Chu's eyes, Li'er will always be the most beautiful."

"Do not……"

"So, do you think Brother Chu is the kind of person who would lie to you?"

Tuoba Liuli didn't say anything, and had no choice but to stare at him.

There is absolutely no way to avoid it.

“I know it’s not true, but I…”

"Since you know I'm not, why doubt my sincerity?" Chu Xiaohe didn't consider himself a person who could say sweet words, but the words he spoke were so sincere and heartfelt.

Without forcing it, there's no shyness. It turns out that sweet nothings don't need to be learned.

If you have feelings in your heart, some things will naturally come out.

"In Brother Chu's heart, no matter what you become, you will always be Brother Chu's best wife."

His hand remained on Tuoba Liuli's face, never letting go: "Have you forgotten all the promises Brother Chu made to you on our wedding night?"

"Brother Chu..."

"You can do without me, or even leave me, but in this life, I, Chu Xiaohe, will only have you, Tuoba Liuli, as my wife."

This was his most important and truest promise to her.

"If you hope that I will marry another girl in the future, then I advise you to give up on that idea. In this life, I will never marry again! If I break this vow..."

"No!" Tuoba Liuli immediately raised her hand and covered his lips, preventing him from continuing.

"You are the only son in the Duke's mansion..."

"You're wrong. My third uncle is back, as you know." Chu Xiaohe smiled. "Look at how deeply in love my third uncle and third aunt are. How could they not have children in the future?"

Although my third uncle had been missing for six years, he was only thirty years old at this time, in the prime of his life.

My third aunt was even younger; she was only twenty-four years old and in good health.

The two returned to each other, and in the future, they might have many more children.

So what's there to be afraid of?

He twitched his lips, a deep smile playing on his lips.

"So you value the offspring of our Duke's family so much? Then why don't you give me one, thus fulfilling the wish of everyone in the Duke's family?"
