This is way too difficult!

Jing Qingwen looked miserable. He knew his own limitations; with his unreliable appearance, how could any girl be willing to marry him?

But in order not to be kicked out of the house, he decided to take a gamble and prayed to God to bless him with a wife!

...

Sheng Lingwei and Jing Qingyun exchanged a glance, feeling both amused and exasperated.

Their relationship is not so easily broken. All those unnecessary worries are completely superfluous.

Sheng Lingwei smiled at Old Madam Jing and her daughter-in-law, her tone firm and resolute.

"Madam, Madam Jing, although I am an unruly person, I am devoted to my feelings and will not be fickle. If I like someone, it is for a lifetime."

Now that I've decided to be with Xiaoyunzi, I won't let him suffer any injustice. His family is my family too, and I will take good care of you all.

Therefore, you two can rest assured that I, Sheng Lingwei, am a woman of my word and will never abandon you after starting something.

"Yes, yes, yes, I believe what the princess says, sob sob..." Old Madam Jing was deeply moved and hugged Lin Jingyi, bursting into tears.

She knew that Princess Chang Le was someone she could entrust her life to.

Lin Jingyi's eyes reddened as she gently patted Old Madam Jing's back. "Mother, don't cry. This is something to be happy about. Qingyun, he..."

Lin Jingyi choked up as she spoke the rest of her words, feeling a bittersweet mix of emotions, including the sadness of losing her daughter, but mostly joy.

The onlookers looked on with envy, their hearts filled with mixed emotions.

The Jing family is so lucky!

They were all envious and jealous of the fact that they had become family with the all-powerful Princess Chang Le, but there was no hatred, only blessings.

Actually, I'm mostly envious!

They also wanted to find someone who could stand up for them, but unfortunately, they weren't destined to have that.

...

Sheng Lingwei glanced at everyone; this wasn't the place to talk. She quickly pulled Jing Qingyun to a secluded spot.

As their eyes met, the surrounding temperature gradually rose, pink bubbles floated around them, and their affection reached its peak.

Sheng Lingwei blushed, feeling somewhat uncomfortable. She squeezed Jing Qingyun's hand, took a deep breath, and slowly asked:

"Xiaoyunzi, are you happy today? Does it feel like a dream?"

Jing Qingyun smiled and nodded, then grasped Sheng Lingwei's small hand in return, her eyes filled with tender affection.

His handsome face was full of genuine smiles, especially his upturned lips, which almost reached the sky.

"Weiwei, I'm so happy today, the happiest day of my life. Thank you for such a wonderful surprise. I thought I'd have to wait a long time for your reply..."

"Stop talking." Sheng Lingwei put her index finger to Jing Qingyun's lips, raised her head and looked at him intently.

“Xiao Yunzi, I know what you’re thinking, and I know how much you’ve sacrificed for me. I’m just slow to understand emotions, but that doesn’t mean I don’t like you.”

Thank you for everything you've done for me. I have no way to repay you except by giving myself to you. For the rest of my life, I will repay you with my sincerest love.

Although it can't compare to your feelings for me, I will learn how to love you properly.

"Weiwei, thank you."

Jing Qingyun's voice choked with emotion, her eyes reddening, and she hugged Sheng Lingwei tightly, burying her head in her neck.

At that moment, he felt completely at ease.

I will no longer be plagued by anxiety and insecurity, I will no longer act childishly, I will no longer envy Liang Tianling and Yue Mingxi's displays of affection, I will no longer...

Sheng Lingwei's heart raced, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up in a smile.

Xiaoyunzi's embrace gave her a great sense of security, and for the rest of her life, she finally found a shoulder to lean on.

This feels so good!

With a "smack," Sheng Lingwei quickly kissed Jing Qingyun, then chuckled softly like a cat that had stolen some cream.

"Xiao Yunzi, I've stamped your approval. From now on, you're mine. Don't you dare cheat on me, or I'll break your third leg."

Jing Qingyun's face stiffened, and she unconsciously squeezed her legs together.

His gaze toward Sheng Lingwei was both helpless and indulgent.

He was just enjoying that light kiss when he heard those words. It was truly a case of heaven one moment and hell the next.

Jing Qingyun couldn't help but chuckle softly.

“Weiwei, I have always been a virtuous person in both my lives. Apart from being intimate with you, I have never been involved with any other women. Even your best friends, I have kept my distance.”

Sheng Lingwei nodded, "That's true. I can barely trust your character."

Changing the subject, Sheng Lingwei huffed and puffed, hands on her hips, and loudly warned Jing Qingyun.

"Hmph, but you must always remember what I just said. I will never allow my man to betray me, do you understand?"

With a smile in her eyes, Jing Qingyun straightened her clothes and bowed respectfully to Sheng Lingwei, saying, "I understand, Your Highness."

"Pfft..."

Sheng Lingwei couldn't help but laugh.

The next second, his eyes darkened, and he abruptly turned to look at the hundred or so bandits who were sweating profusely and couldn't hide their gossipy smiles, and questioned them sharply.

What were you laughing about just now?

"No, I wasn't laughing at anything."

The bandits were terrified, quickly wiped the smiles off their faces, and trembled uncontrollably.

Are they crazy?

How could I have forgotten Princess Chang Le's terrifying methods and actually laughed out loud?

"Hmm?" Sheng Lingwei narrowed her eyes, her tone gradually becoming dangerous. "You're all so disobedient. Do you want to experience what it's like to be struck by lightning?"

A look of terror flashed across the one-eyed man's eyes, and he hurriedly shouted, "No, no, Princess Chang Le, please don't strike us with lightning! We don't want to die!"

Sheng Lingwei snorted coldly, "If you don't want to die, then be honest and answer the questions I just asked."

"This... sigh!"

The one-eyed man took a deep breath. Since he was going to die anyway, he might as well say everything at once. So he closed his eyes and said directly:

"Princess Chang Le, my brothers and I didn't laugh on purpose. We just happened to see a handsome young man and woman pledging their lives to each other."

We were genuinely happy and envious, which is why we couldn't help but laugh out loud.

It's true, I'm telling the truth. Although there are many people in our Black Wind Village, most of them are old bachelors. We do want to find wives, but we just can't.

Isn't that right?

Seeing you and that young master so affectionately, we were extremely envious, but we absolutely did not mean to mock you. Please don't misunderstand, Princess.

After saying that, the one-eyed man cautiously opened his eyes and saw that he was completely unharmed.

Only then did he grin and look at Sheng Lingwei and Jing Qingyun with a fawning expression, as obsequious as could be.

Sheng Lingwei was speechless. She withdrew her mental energy. This one-eyed man hadn't lied, so she decided to let him go for now.

Immediately afterwards, Sheng Lingwei's sharp gaze swept over the hundred or so bandits, her fair and delicate face cold as she said irritably:

Are you all just good-for-nothings?

Why do you want to come and join us when you see me here having a romantic time?

Are you here to show off your presence?
