Farm Girl's Manor

The hand that was being held unconsciously tightened, and he gently lifted her chin with his other hand. His deep eyes looked straight into hers, revealing his feelings for the first time, "Yanyan, I take delight in you, simply because you are you, unrelated to power or beauty. If such external possessions become obstacles between us, what harm is there for Xiao Ruiyuan to give them up?"

In the past, he had used power only to find the medicines needed to cure his cousin, the Crown Prince, and to assist him in ascending to the throne. Once everything was settled, he planned to ask permission to stay on the border, galloping across the battlefield to guard the peace of Great Chu. But after meeting Yanyan, he wanted even more to protect her for a lifetime. He had never coveted power and was not swayed by it. If he could exchange it for a lifetime with Yanyan, he would have no regrets!

Mo Yan looked at Xiao Ruiyuan with a shocked expression, somewhat disbelieving her own ears. However, his undisguised gaze prevented her from having any doubts.

Xiao Ruiyuan gently stroked her head, his eyes revealing an increasingly intense affection, "Yanyan, it doesn’t matter if you don’t believe me now. Once my cousin’s position is stable, I solemnly vow to lay down my armor and follow you anywhere you wish. Will you wait for me?"

As he spoke, he stared unwaveringly at the silent woman, his heartbeat quickening. He could defeat enemies with martial force and cunning, reclaim fallen cities, and use his power to imprison her by his side for life. But since he had settled on his feelings, he only wanted to protect her for life, even if she was unwilling, he could not bear to harm her in the slightest.

Unbeknownst to anyone, waves of shock had risen in Mo Yan’s heart at this moment. Gazing into his deeply devoted eyes, she suddenly broke into a smile as radiant as a flower blooming in the sun, dazzling Xiao Ruiyuan so much that his eyes could no longer hold anything else, "If such a day really comes, I will be willing to follow you to stroll through the border markets, taste the fire rake you mentioned, and watch the sunset over the wild fields... If there really is such a day..."

Before she could finish, the man suddenly extended his arm like he was handling a rare treasure, carefully embracing her in his arms. His shimmering eyes were like stars in the sky, his simple whispering sounded like the most moving love words in the world, "Yanyan... Yanyan... there will be such a day, no one can prevent us, no one can..."

Caught off guard, Mo Yan was pressed tightly against his firm chest. She instinctively wanted to push him away, but in the midst of his low murmurs and drum-like heartbeat, she gradually lowered her hands. Although no explicit promise was made, she seemed to understand everything he wanted to say from his murmurs and the beating of his heart.

Xiao Ruiyuan, holding the woman he loved, felt that strange sense of satisfaction surge within him once more, as if the missing piece of his heart was filled at that moment, compelling him to tighten his arms, wishing to hold her like this forever.

Lying in a corner, Mao Tuan sulked to itself as it saw the two tightly embracing. Its tiger eyes widened with rage, wishing it could slap away the man who dared compete for his master’s affection!

The master was his, his alone, and only he could sleep in her embrace. It would never allow this villain to snatch away his master; it had to drive him away, it simply must!
