After a long while, Liu i'er finally covered her face with both hands, which was burning hot. Her heart was in a state of turmoil.
She murmured, "What... what am I thinking? What... what did I say?"
At this mont, the figure of Xu Fufu appeared from the outside. Seeing Liu i'er sitting there in a daze, he first stalled, then asked, "Where's Chu Hei? I heard he ca? Where is he?"
"Ah... you ca, he left with that giant, just a mont ago." Liu i'er said, her expression slightly unnatural.
"Oh, okay, I'll go find him." Xu Fufu stated before adding, "Right, i'er, prepare for a bit, report to the amount of funds we can mobilize... huh?"
As Xu Fufu was speaking, he suddenly leaned in, examining Liu i'er's face intensely. His gaze was filled with concern. He asked her, "i'er, what's wrong? Are you not feeling well? Are you sick?"
"No... no, I'm fine." A sheen of mist instantly ford in Liu i'er's eyes, on the brink of tears.
"Still saying you're fine! Did soone bully you?" Xu Fufu's brow furrowed, an anger rising within him instantly. However, he continued with a puzzled expression, "That can't be. Brother Hei just left from here. If soone bullied you, he certainly wouldn't allow it. So, how could he... um..."
Xu Fufu hadn't finished speaking when he noticed one more warm and soft body in his arms. Then, Liu i'er's choked voice ca: "Fufu... I... I'm sincerely sorry... all these years...for making you worry for . I... I've decided... I want to give myself to you..."
"My goodness, what's going on?" Xu Fufu's eyes widened, the corner of his mouth twitching exaggeratedly. However, a complicated glint flashed in his eyes.
In certain aspects, he was much smarter than Chu Mo, a novice in the field of romance. Although he didn't know exactly what had just transpired between Liu i'er and Chu Mo.
One thing he was confident about was that Liu i'er's little intentions had completely vanished!
He had always been aware of Liu i'er's slight affection towards Chu Mo.
However, he had never spoken a word about it. He was the one who was fond of Liu i'er, but Chu Mo was his 'brother' even more so!
His very best 'brother'!
If Liu i'er liked Chu Mo and if Chu Mo also had feelings for Liu i'er, then even if he felt unhappy about it, he would undoubtedly choose to let go.
This wasn't about 'brothers before girlfriends'. Xu Fufu, he would never treat won like clothes.
It was about 'sacrifice'!
In essence, this 'sacrifice' correlated with Chu Mo's ntality – 'set you free'!
So, over the years, although he would often flirt with Liu i'er, deep down he truly respected her.
"Did the words from Brother Hei provoke you?" Xu Fufu thought for a bit before deciding to ask the question.
As Liu i'er had decided to clear her doubts, so he could not pretend to be confused. At tis like this, all issues should be made clear so as to feel at ease truly.
"No, he didn't say anything. It's just that... I was sohow... moved." Leaning on Xu Fufu, Liu i'er spoke softly, "He told ... you love ..."
"Oh my goodness... Brother Hei actually understands love now!" Xu Fufu couldn't help but roll his eyes and grumble.
"Don't swear. To be honest, you should know that... I have always had feelings... um... affinity towards him." Liu i'er stated.
"Yes, I've known that all along." Xu Fufu nodded, then laughed bitterly, "he's so excellent, who wouldn't like him?"
"But, he really doesn't ... have those kinds of feelings for . Before this, I always thought that he and Sister Yiniang..." Liu i'er said softly, "It was 'that' kind of relationship, but now I understand, in his heart... there's been soone else all along. And that person has occupied his heart completely."
"And so?" Xu Fufu slowly looped his arms around Liu i'er's waist, gazing at her captivatingly beautiful face; he asked with a smile.
"So today I suddenly realised that actually... I'm too... too..." Liu i'er stamred a bit.
"What are you?" Xu Fufu pressed her.
"I love you!" Liu i'er's face turned crimson, and she closed her eyes, affirming with all her might, "All this ti, I've been chard by Young Master Chu's brilliance. The affinity I felt for him... instead of saying it was love... it's more like admiration! An uncontrollable... admiration for the strong!"
"Hahaha, you've discovered that your true love... is the Tenth Young Master, haven't you?" Xu Fufu laughed heartily.
"Um." Liu i'er uttered softly.
Completely igniting all the flas in Xu Fufu's heart, he planted a forceful kiss on Liu i'er's cheek before he solemnly declared, "This big man of the Xu family has been waiting for you to say those words! i'er, rest assured, if you don't let down, I will definitely not let you down!"
"I believe..." Liu i'er's eyes were sowhat blurred.
"The family has been urging to get married, now... I feel I can finally reassure them!" Xu Fufu's face blood into a radiant smile, he was extrely happy.
Liu i'er's expression withered slightly, then she said softly, "Yes, you ought to be getting married. Don't worry. I don't need a title... or any property. I just need you; as long as I can see you often, I would be satisfied."
"What are you talking about?" Xu Fufu looked at Liu i'er, a bit puzzled, "I want to get engaged to you."
"Engaged... engaged to ?" Liu i'er was stunned. She looked at Xu Fufu blankly.
"Xu Fufu may be fickle-minded, but the woman I love most in this life is only you! Before, you had a bit of a thing for Brother Hei, so I didn't dare say anything. Now that you've let go of those feelings, I want to tell you in person...the woman that Xu Fufu will marry in this life... is only you!"
"Ah... no, no way! This can't happen!" Liu i'er's heart throbbed violently, her complexion paled; she looked at Xu Fufu and firmly refused.
"Why not? Is it because of status? Position? Wealth? Or what?" Xu Fufu scoffed, "If it's about status, well, tomorrow I'll let Brother Hei acknowledge you as his sister by an oath. Anyway, he has always been calling you 'sister'. As the King of Chu's sister, even if the imperial family is unwilling, they must give you the status of a princess! Does this status and position suffice?"
"This... this..." Liu i'er was dumbfounded, she had no idea that when Xu Fufu burst out, the kind of innate domineering attitude could leave her dazzled. She was even feeling dizzy.
But, she liked it!
These were not sweet words, but they surpassed all sweet words!
"What are you talking about? In terms of money, the entire Gluttonous Pavilion is in your hands! In the entire Yanhuang City, how many people are richer than you?" Xu Fufu looked at Liu i'er, "Nobody is born noble and nobody is superior by birth! In my heart, you are the best!"
At this mont, the words Chu Mo said as he left echoed in Liu i'er's mind.
"I don't really understand feelings, but I think, he truly loves you!"
Yes! He loves ! He is the person... who cares about the most in this world!
How lucky... yet, how foolish I, Liu i'er, was!
Fortunately, I didn't miss it. (To be continued. If you like this book, please vote for it on Qidian (qidian). Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian to read.)
