"How dare you!" Bai Mudan shouted fiercely, "You scoundrel, you have the audacity to flirt with ! You must be tired of living!"
"No, I had no intention of flirting with you, miss," the man hastily waved his hand, "I speak from the bottom of my heart! Miss, with a face that could make the moon and flowers ashad, and a figure that's slender and well-proportioned, your deanor is unparalleled; you are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen..."
"Nonsense…"
"I could swear to the heavens, if I've spoken a half-truth, then may lightning strike down and may I et a terrible end!"
"Hmph! Don't try to confuse with vows, making oaths is as simple for you n as drinking water, they hold no sway over you."
"How can they hold no sway?"
"You n only know how to deceive won!"
"I won't deny, so n are treacherous by nature, committing countless evils, using vile thods to deceive won... but such n are in the minority, at least I am not one of them."
"Then what kind of man are you?"
"I am a man of integrity and selflessness, with an open heart, conscience, and quality."
"Shaless!" Bai Mudan cursed, "Apart from that faithless cad, you are the most brazen man I have t."
Faithless cad? The man raised his eyebrows, "What faithless cad? Have you been wronged by a man, miss? Who had the lack of vision to give up soone as stunning as you? Is he blind? Has his head been kicked by a donkey? Did a dog eat his conscience?"
"That's right, a dog ate his conscience," Bai Mudan said through gritted teeth, "Despite my true feelings for him, he heartlessly rejected ! I... I could kill him..."
"He deserves to die!" the man nodded, "He should be cut into a thousand pieces! If it were , I would cherish the miss imnsely, hold you in the palm of my hand, doing everything in my power to make you comfortable and happy." As he spoke, the man casually plucked a plum blossom, gazing at Bai Mudan with deep affection, "I rushed out without bringing a gift... Although this plum blossom is not precious, it can represent my feelings... I ask you to accept it..."
"I never accept gifts from strangers, especially not from strange n," Bai Mudan said with an icy tone.
"I am a frank person, and I say what I think; I can't hide my words," The man spoke with a look of deep affection, "From the mont I first saw you, I was deeply attracted to you; this must be what people call love at first sight, right? I used to believe in love at first sight, but now... I truly believe, I firmly believe! Such a thing as love at first sight does exist in this world."
"If you continue to spout nonsense, I will cut off your tongue!" Bai Mudan glared.
"Even if I had my tongue cut off, I would still speak," the man stepped forward, shortening the distance between them, "Miss, I am sincere, I have truly fallen in love with you, would you give a chance?"
"Get lost!" Bai Mudan spat out a word through clenched teeth, "Get away from ! If you dare to appear before again, I will slaughter you!" With that, Bai Mudan huffed away
The man tried to chase after her but was stopped by a group of guards. The guards glared nacingly at the man, ready to strike him down should he make any improper move.
"Miss, my na is Dongfang Jian, 'Dongfang' aning 'the east,' 'Jian' aning 'sword.' You must rember my na!" the man shouted at the top of his lungs.
Bai Mudan paused in her step, then left without looking back.
"From now on, you're forbidden from bothering our young lady. Otherwise, you'll vanish from the human world," one of the guards threatened Dongfang Jian, then hurried after Bai Mudan.
In the blink of an eye, Dongfang Jian was left alone on the scene.
"The first step has been taken," Dongfang Jian's lips curved slightly upward, "As for the effect... it was just diocre..."
"Bai Mudan, this girl looks pretty good and has tender skin; she's a fine woman."
"The faithless cad that Bai Mudan ntioned... nine tis out of ten it's Gao Fei. In this case, the rumors outside are false; it's not Gao Fei who pursued Bai Mudan, but the other way around, and she got rejected by Gao Fei... quite interesting, Gao Fei sure has so charm, doesn't he?"
"Gao Fei, I really have to thank you, if you hadn't rejected Bai Mudan, where would I get the chance to get close to her?"
"Really can't figure it out, why would such a beautiful woman reject ? Has she been kicked in the head by a donkey?"
"Let's call it a day for now, and continue tomorrow!"
Dongfang Jian's goal was straightforward, he wanted to pursue Bai Mudan. At first, he was interested in Bai Mudan's status, but after eting her, he took a fancy to her looks as well. Dongfang Jian had made up his mind that this ti he was going to reap both personal and practical benefits.
"As long as I can beco the city lord's son-in-law, the path ahead will be much easier," Dongfang Jian said with a chuckle.
The next day.
Bai Mudan was out and about again, and she ran into Dongfang Jian once more.
Dongfang Jian thickened his skin and approached her, offering gifts, flattering her, and even telling jokes to make Bai Mudan happy.
Bai Mudan still didn't show a pleasant face to Dongfang Jian, scolding him severely before she led her guards away briskly.
The third day, the fourth day, the fifth day...
In the days that followed, whenever Bai Mudan went out, she would always encounter Dongfang Jian. Initially, Bai Mudan was extrely annoyed with Dongfang Jian, either scolding him loudly or hurling insults. However, with every encounter, Dongfang Jian always smiled and never got angry... As ti went by, Bai Mudan's impression of Dongfang Jian slowly improved, and although she still didn't look at him kindly, she no longer cursed him.
Dongfang Jian gathered his strength and used various thods to pursue Bai Mudan, inching his way into her heart bit by bit.
One month later.
Dongfang Jian had lted Bai Mudan's heart, and the two fell deeply in love.
Under the azure sky.
Clouds drifted lazily.
The grass was lush and soft.
Dongfang Jian and Bai Mudan sat shoulder to shoulder, holding hands, basking in the sun on the grassy field.
"The weather is so nice today," Bai Mudan said with a smile. "Warm and cozy, it's just wonderful."
Dongfang Jian turned and looked at Bai Mudan with deep affection, "Having you by my side makes it wonderful."
"Are you really sincere?" Bai Mudan tilted her head up.
"Absolutely sincere!" Dongfang Jian wrapped an arm around Bai Mudan's slender waist. "When can you take to et your father? I want to ask for your hand in front of him!"
"In such a hurry?"
"Of course I'm in a hurry! I can't wait to marry you, to live with you like lovebirds, leading a life that even immortals would envy!"
"Wait a little longer, I'm still not ready yet."
"Still need to wait..." Dongfang Jian said with a bitter smile. "How much longer do I need to wait..."
"Just give a few more days," Bai Mudan replied. "I need to talk to my father first, get his approval, and then I'll take you to et him. You two can have a good talk then."
"So, is your father hot-tempered? Will he dislike , disapprove of our relationship?" Dongfang Jian asked with a worried expression.
"Don't worry, my father is very open-minded," Bai Mudan said with a smile. "As long as I'm set on the man, he won't object to it."
