Chapter 223 I love you and want to give you happiness for the rest of your life
Bai Ziyu coughed lightly: "Cough, Siqing, think about it, why am I not better than those men whose backgrounds are unknown?"
Gu Siqing was amused by his appearance and motioned him to sit down, with a playful look on her face: "Tell me about it."
"Siqing has a stunning appearance, and I am also pretty. You and I are a perfect match, who would think we are not a good match? In addition, I am an excellent doctor. If you marry me, I can ensure your health for the rest of your life."
He seriously began to enumerate his own advantages and talked about his good points.
"In addition to medical skills, I am also adept at using poison. No one can harm you under my nose. I can also teach you all my knowledge so that you can protect yourself. Also, I have a very good personality!"
Anything else would be fine, but when he said that he had a good temper, Gu Siqing burst out laughing.
Bai Ziyu curled his lips and said depressedly: "Haven't I always been gentle to you?"
Gu Siqing forced himself to hold back his smile, stroked his chin, and nodded in a serious tone.
"We have similar interests. Even if you look down on me in the future, we can live under the same roof and our lives won't be that difficult. We won't get tired of each other. What do you think?"
He used all his eloquence to the utmost, praising himself to the highest heaven, and never belittled others. He only talked about his own conditions, and what he said made a lot of sense.
Just seeing him recommending himself with a serious look made Gu Siqing laugh.
"Why didn't I realize before that Divine Doctor Bai is so narcissistic? He's almost boasting that he's a god."
Gu Siqing covered her mouth with her hands and chuckled, then handed Bai Ziyu a handful of walnut kernels that she had just peeled.
Bai Ziyu took it and said happily, "There is a kind of snack in Qi State, which is made of syrup and walnut kernels. It tastes crispy and delicious. I will make it for you later."
"It seems that after the trip to Qi State, Doctor Bai has learned a lot." Gu Siqing joked.
The time they were separated was not long, but when Bai Ziyu returned to the capital and sat and talked with her again, Gu Siqing felt as if they had returned to the past.
"I learned it because I thought you might like it." Bai Ziyu ate the walnut kernels and thought of his days in Qi. He would not feel too hard unless he did something related to Gu Siqing.
The two sat under the candlelight, talking to each other about the interesting things that had happened around them in the past few days. The estrangement caused by Bai Ziyu's concealment of his identity had disappeared invisibly.
At the end, when the topic came to the question of how difficult it was for Gu Siqing to choose a husband, Gu Siqing propped up his chin and looked at Bai Ziyu. He wanted to tease him a little, so he asked with a smile: "Why do you want to be my husband?"
Gu Siqing tapped her cheek with her index finger and smiled brightly, "Could it be that Divine Doctor Bai fell in love with me, so he traveled thousands of miles to the Kingdom of Yue, and today he made several attempts just to take the opportunity to marry me legitimately?"
The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. Gu Siqing is used to teasing Bai Ziyu, so he speaks without restraint.
Who knew that when she said this, Bai Ziyu, who was joking with her, immediately stopped smiling. Gu Siqing's heart skipped a beat, the hair on the back of her hand stood up, and she subconsciously sat up straight.
Bai Ziyu sat opposite her, his eyes sparkling, and said seriously, "It's true."
"What is it really?" Gu Siqing was a little stunned.
In her impression, Bai Ziyu never included getting married and having children in his life plans.
He was obsessed with studying medicine and had never fallen in love with anyone. Gu Siqing even thought that he might never marry and spend the rest of his life alone.
The burden she had carried before was too heavy, so that her whole body was filled with resentment.
She was involved in the business world and was quite smooth in her dealings with people, which was something Bai Ziyu probably didn't like. He liked her? What did he like about her? Gu Siqing thought to herself.
Gu Siqing's thoughts were dispersed by Bai Ziyu's words. She was surprised at Bai Ziyu's frank affection and was a little bit unbelievable that this man liked her.
Bai Ziyu sat upright, straightened his collar, and breathed a sigh of relief when he remembered that he had shaved before coming here.
"My feelings for Siqing are absolutely sincere. I like you and want to make you happy for the rest of your life. You are not someone who needs to rely on others to live. If you marry me, you will still have your own vast world. I will not trap you."
Expressing one's feelings is something that should be taken seriously. Bai Ziyu was a little hesitant at first, but after thinking about it, he was afraid that if he didn't say it seriously, Gu Siqing would think he was joking.
"The reason you want to get married is just to get rid of Chi Hongyuan's threat. I am willing to help you. I am willing to be your nominal husband. After we get married, as long as you don't like me, we will be a couple in name only. Even if His Highness the Ninth Prince is the emperor, he can't do anything to you."
He was not exaggerating, Bai Ziyu really had the ability to protect her.
Even if Chi Hongyuan is unwilling to give in the future and wants to forcefully marry Gu Siqing despite the world's condemnation, Bai Ziyu can still use his identity as the King of Xiaoyao of Qi to make Chi Hongyuan feel fearful.
Moreover, looking at Chi Hongyuan's style of doing things, he has the spirit of a wise ruler and would not do such a despicable thing.
Bai Ziyu paused, his ears burning red without him noticing, and he said with some hesitation: "If you like me after spending a long time together, we can become real husband and wife."
Gu Siqing stared at him in a daze, trying to figure out whether his words were true or not.
She had lived her life again and had been married twice, although both times she married the same person. Before entering the prime minister's residence, she had never heard anyone other than her mother say that they liked her.
Especially the sincere emotions expressed by Bai Ziyu, Gu Siqing felt that it was a bit far-fetched and subconsciously did not want to believe it.
How could there be anyone in this world who would be willing to love someone so cautiously? There must be some ulterior motive.
But Gu Siqing thought again, what could Bai Ziyu want from her? As the free and easy king of Qi, Bai Ziyu had both fame and wealth. If he wanted her shops, it would not be worth it.
"Have you ever thought that I might never fall in love with you in my life?"
The reason why Gu Siqing was in a hurry to get married was because she had a purpose. This marriage did not involve any true feelings on her part.
She chose a man of low social status to marry her. That man was related to the Prime Minister's Mansion and his family could also be used for influence. Gu Siqing would also give him some money, even as a reward for that man helping her out of an urgent situation. But Bai Ziyu didn't need any of these.
In a situation where the other party was making unilateral efforts, Gu Siqing didn't want to deceive him and take advantage of him for nothing. She felt very strange about it.
Marriage is just a cover. Gu Siqing doesn't want Bai Ziyu to have any illusions. How can you say for sure if you like something? Maybe she will never be tempted in her entire life. It is not impossible. If Bai Ziyu has any ideas in mind, then it will be all in vain.
