After walking for a while, Yunzhi got a little tired, so Granny Xu took her to the pavilion to rest. At this moment, Lu Cang from Dongli walked over.

Having changed his clothes, he became even more handsome and captivating, making Yunzhi unable to look away.

She only snapped out of her reverie when she heard Granny Xu's greeting. However, she wasn't embarrassed; she openly looked Dong Li Lu Cang up and down, then uttered two words: "Beautiful!"

"Zhizhi is beautiful too!" Dongli Lucang said with a smile. Compared to other girls, Yunzhi had an indescribable charm. This charm made people feel comfortable and memorable at first glance.

"Granny Xu, you may leave." Dongli Lu Cang glanced at Granny Xu and gave her a curt order.

"Yes!" Xu Mama replied, bowed to the two of them, and then withdrew.

Ru Mei and Ru Lan were perceptive enough to notice that Granny Xu had left, so they also departed from the pavilion. Soon, only Yun Zhi and Dong Li Lu Cang remained in the pavilion, looking at each other in silence.

"you……"

"you……"

Yunzhi looked at Dongli Lucang who hadn't spoken, opened her mouth to speak, but unexpectedly Dongli Lucang also spoke at the same time.

Their voices rang out simultaneously, then stopped at the same time. For a moment, the awkward atmosphere eased considerably.

"Zhizhi, you go first." Dongli Lu Cang looked at Yunzhi with gentle eyes and a faint smile on his face.

He was already good-looking, but his smile made him even more handsome. Yunzhi couldn't help but take a few more glances before saying, "You're usually too serious; you should smile more."

"Okay, I'll listen to Zhizhi."

Upon hearing this, Yunzhi couldn't help but laugh and said, "You listen to everything I say, aren't you afraid people will say you're afraid of your wife?"

"What's there to be afraid of? What business is it of anyone else if I'm afraid of my wife? As long as I'm happy and my husband and I have a harmonious relationship, that's all that matters." Dongli Lu Cang said nonchalantly. People can't shut their mouths; he couldn't sew them shut. As long as he didn't care, what did it matter what others said?

Just like they said Yunzhi was a second-time bride and not good enough for him, he felt that as long as he was good enough, why bother with all that gossip?

"You're quite open-minded." Yunzhi's smile deepened. Ninety-nine percent of the people in this era are chauvinistic, believing that women should listen to them.

After all, the husband is the head of the household.

However, Lu Cang of Dongli was quite different from those men; he was more open-minded and respectful of women. This might be related to his previous experience fighting on the border. After all, for someone who has taken life and death lightly, nothing else matters.

"If you can't think straight, why did you marry Zhizhi?" Dongli Lu Cang looked at Yunzhi and said meaningfully.

Yunzhi paused for a moment, then looked at Dongli Lucang and asked, "You figured it out?"

"Hmm!" Dong Li Lu Cang said somewhat disappointedly, "I know Zhizhi doesn't want to marry me, but I can assure you that I will definitely not be like An Xiuyuan. I will definitely treat you well, love you, cherish you, protect you, and stay with you for life. I can also assure you that there will be no third person between us but each other."

Upon hearing this, Yunzhi's expression turned serious, and she asked, "Have you thought this through? Are you really going to give me a promise of being with me for life?"

"Yes, in this life, I, Lu Cang of Dongli, will marry no one but you. Besides you, my wife will not be anyone else."

"Okay, remember what you said." Yunzhi smiled again. It was clear that Dongli Lucang was serious.

Since that's the case, why not give it a try?
