Li ngxue saw Liu Zheng stamring and guessed sowhat what was on his mind, feeling a sourness in her heart, "You really didn’t co to save ."
"I..." Liu Zheng opened his mouth but ultimately decided not to say anything. After all, it was his private affair, and there was no need to drag Li ngxue into it.
"Liu Zheng, if you’re unwilling to tell the truth, I won’t force you, but you must be careful and try not to get hurt!" Li ngxue admonished with teary eyes.
"Don’t worry, ngxue! I’ll take good care of myself and won’t let myself get hurt," Liu Zheng nodded.
Li ngxue, looking at Liu Zheng’s resolute eyes, couldn’t help being moved and nodded slightly, thinking to herself, "Liu Zheng, I’m really glad I t you in this lifeti."
"By the way! Liu Zheng, there’s sothing I want to ask of you!"
"What is it?"
Li ngxue lifted her head, her eyes brimming with emotion as she looked at Liu Zheng and spoke slowly, "I know I’m being foolish now and don’t deserve happiness!"
Liu Zheng was stunned, not understanding why Li ngxue would suddenly bring up this matter.
Li ngxue continued, "However, Liu Zheng, I still hope you can stay by my side! I don’t ask for you to love as you love , but please don’t leave . Just seeing you every day is enough for ."
After speaking, Li ngxue’s eyes reddened, and her tears, clear and sparkling, slid down her fair cheeks, falling onto the silk nightgown on her chest, blossoming into bright plum flowers.
"ngxue..."
Seeing Li ngxue weeping with sorrow, Liu Zheng felt a deep heartache.
Liu Zheng couldn’t help but reach out his hand to gently wipe away the tear stains on Li ngxue’s cheeks with a tender voice, "Don’t cry, rest assured! ngxue, I won’t abandon you."
"Mm..." Li ngxue nodded, "Thank you!"
With that, Li ngxue threw herself into Liu Zheng’s embrace.
Li ngxue’s movent was sudden and intense.
Caught off guard, Liu Zheng staggered backward two steps.
Li ngxue’s fragrant shoulders were now pressing against his chest.
"ngxue!" Liu Zheng exclaid in surprise, quickly steadying Li ngxue, "ngxue, are you alright?"
"Liu Zheng, I’m fine."
Li ngxue shook her head slightly, her face beaming with a sweet smile, "Just being able to hug you, to be held by you, makes very happy."
"Silly girl..."
Liu Zheng caressed Li ngxue’s hair lovingly, softly patting her head.
"By the way, Liu Zheng, how co you’re here?"
Suddenly, Li ngxue thought of this question.
She rembered that Liu Zheng had gone out of town to compete, so why was he suddenly in the capital? Had Liu Zheng already finished the competition? Impossible! She knew Liu Zheng’s capabilities very well; it couldn’t have ended so quickly.
Liu Zheng gave a bitter smile and said, "Don’t even ntion it, it makes depressed."
"I was on my way to the competition when I suddenly got a call from my family, telling to hurry back or they would retaliate."
"Retaliate?" Li ngxue’s eyes widened in shock.
Liu Zheng nodded and sighed, "Yes, they threatened to ruin my parents’ birthday celebration if I didn’t return."
Li ngxue snorted disdainfully, "Then just go back. Your father isn’t short on money, and you’re not his wife, so why listen to him?"
"That’s not acceptable."
Liu Zheng waved his hand, "I made a promise to my father, and I have to fulfill it."
"So what do you plan to do now?"
"I’m planning to resolve this issue first," Liu Zheng said impassively.
Li ngxue saw the murderous intent in Liu Zheng’s eyes and, knowing her persuasion was useless, chose not to say more and kept silent instead.
Liu Zheng looked down at Li ngxue’s delicate form, swallowing hard, finding it difficult to contain himself.
"ngxue, we..."
"Liu Zheng, what are you thinking? We are now in a brother-sister relationship; we cannot step over the line!" Li ngxue said in a panic.
Although she had so feelings for Liu Zheng, she wasn’t ready to advance their relationship beyond that of a man and woman.
"Siblings? Ha!" Liu Zheng couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh. "I have never considered you an older brother. You’re just the woman I like, that’s all."
"But I am already your woman; we’ve already had an intimate relationship."
"So, we are lovers now, not siblings!" Liu Zheng calmly retorted.
"But you are still my younger brother!" Li ngxue asserted stubbornly.
Hearing Li ngxue’s words, Liu Zheng’s heart ached, but he quickly regained his composure.
He sighed softly, speaking in an even tone, "ngxue, rest assured! Now that I’ve decided to marry you, there will be no more hesitation."
Li ngxue’s eyes shimred, looking into Liu Zheng’s eyes as if asking what had made him so determined, what had driven him to such a decision.
"You want to know?" Liu Zheng asked.
"Mm!" Li ngxue nodded vigorously.
Liu Zheng smiled slightly, then slowly drew Li ngxue into his arms and softly said, "Actually, it’s nothing much, just because of the family alliance through marriage."
"Because my father is a high-ranking official."
"You also know, my father is a military district big shot. My mother is the deputy commander of the military district."
"My grandfather is also a marshal of the army."
"It can be said that our Lin Family is illustrious and noble."
"But I despise this kind of marriage."
Liu Zheng’s expression turned gloomy, "Because I like you! I have liked you since we were children!"
Hearing Liu Zheng’s confession, a blush crept onto Li ngxue’s pretty face, and her heartbeat began to pound fiercely.
She lifted her head, gazing at Liu Zheng, infatuated, her eyes brimming with tenderness.
Li ngxue didn’t speak, just quietly listened to Liu Zheng reveal the secrets deep within his heart.
"Since childhood, I’ve liked you."
"Once, I sneaked into your boudoir."
"I peeked at you bathing."
"That night, your body drove wild. I wanted to devour you, and even this morning, I could still faintly rember how my body reacted back then."
"At that mont, I was certain I had fallen in love with you."
"Tell , is there anyone else in the world who’s more suitable to be your boyfriend than I am?" Liu Zheng said with a devilish grin.
"Ah?"
"What?"
"Sorry, I was just spacing out there." Liu Zheng scratched his head, his face reddening slightly, and smiled awkwardly.
"Don’t be shy, I know you won’t find unacceptable," Li ngxue said with a beaming smile.
"How could I possibly find you unacceptable!" Liu Zheng grasped Li ngxue’s hand excitedly, "As long as I’m with you, I never feel unworthy of you."
"I really, really like you."
"Tell , if there is an afterlife, and I wish to be husband and wife with you, would you be willing to spend your life with ?" Liu Zheng gazed at her with deep affection.
"Of course, I would," Li ngxue said with a sweet smile.
"Thank you, ngxue, thank you for giving this chance."
"From now on, I will treat you well, never let you down again, nor let anyone bully you."
"I will protect you, take care of you," Liu Zheng promised earnestly.
"I believe you."
"Then... may we kiss?" Liu Zheng looked at Li ngxue with eager anticipation, his eyes filled with intense longing.
"Of course, we may."
Li ngxue nodded, her cheeks turning red, she lowered her head, and gently kissed Liu Zheng’s lips. The two of them held each other tightly, kissing passionately...
In this mont, they seed to return to the phase of first love, utterly innocent, utterly pure...
