Chapter 1412 - 1419 Mutual Affection (5)
This sentence may seem a bit dramatic, but it truly conveyed Wanyan Jingchen’s sincere heart. Ever since he saw that face at the tea house—the face that was made for both joy and sadness, a little face bejeweled with pear blossom tears—it had been deeply engraved in his heart. Her cries, her laughter, her shyness, her bewilderment, every expression was so vivid, so clear, making it impossible for him to forget.
He was deeply attracted to her and couldn’t help but pay attention to her. Seeing her framed, ostracized from the Mansion, he felt sad for her, felt pain on her behalf; seeing her almost lose her life in the crazed horse carriage assassination, his heart ached unbearably, for the first time wishing to take the place of her man, wanting to take care of her, cherish her, to truly spend a lifetime with her.
If she were with him, he would definitely not let her shed tears because when she cried, her entire little face would scrunch up, her slightly upturned nose turning red, looking pitiful yet somehow endearing, making him feel all the more heartache, and so, he would not let her cry.
He also wouldn’t make her angry, because when she gets angry, her face puffs up like a little bun, her round eyes glaring like those of an indignant hamster, shiny and gleaming, that it would make anyone involuntarily burst out laughing. But if he did, she would be even less happy.
He’d never do something like Mo Zili, favoring a concubine and destroying his wife, because he never even considered taking another woman. As a man, he should be consistent from beginning to end. Since he loves her, once married to her, his promise to her would be to spend their lives well together!
Xiang Yun seemed to be moved by his words, she pursed her lips and quickly wiped her eyes, turning her face to the side. "My Dad and Mom don’t want me to marry you, fearing that I will be wronged in the future, without anyone by my side."
"Then let’s move the Mansion of Marquis Jian’an to Qing Luo Kingdom. Your father can continue to be the Marquis of Jian’an there, and he can also play a part-time role as a national adviser!"
"But what if you become Emperor in the future, and your concubines, like Du Wanqing of Duke Li Guo Mansion, frame and bully me, what should I do?"
