Chapter 15 What is a True Couple?
Chu Siheng wanted to become her real husband and wife...
Lu Zhaoxue's hand unconsciously caressed the teacup. Chu Siheng's passionate words still echoed in her ears. It wasn't that she was unwilling, but that she felt from the bottom of her heart that she was not good enough for Chu Siheng.
Even though Chu Siheng has been deposed and no longer possesses his former glory, in her heart he is still a person of integrity and gentleness.
All she wanted was to stay by his side and be with him. Over the past four years, Chu Siheng had always been considerate and attentive to her, and had never shown any disdain for her because of what had happened before.
If it weren't for Chu Siheng, Lu Zhaoxue probably wouldn't have survived those dark and hopeless days.
Therefore, no matter how difficult or bitter the days ahead may be, she will grit her teeth and persevere for Chu Siheng and Lu Zhaoxing.
The sun had slowly set, and its afterglow spilled into Jingyou Garden, gradually bathing the courtyard in a warm glow.
Lu Zhaoxing returned today, and Lu Zhaoxue was very happy. She specially prepared more dishes, all of which were the dishes that Chu Siheng and Lu Zhaoxing usually liked to eat.
The three people sat around the table, filling the room with a warm atmosphere.
Lu Zhaoxue looked at Chu Siheng beside her, whose lips were always smiling, and then at her younger sister across from her, whose face was full of joy. A long-lost warmth suddenly welled up in her heart.
Chu Siheng suddenly got up and took out a bottle of peach blossom wine from the cabinet. This was made by Lu Zhaoxue herself. Chu Siheng suggested that the three of them have a drink together, and Lu Zhaoxue nodded.
The peach blossom wine was clear and fragrant, but it still had a bit of a kick. Lu Zhaoxing was young and had a low alcohol tolerance. After drinking two cups, his cheeks turned red and his eyes began to glaze over.
Lu Zhaoxing blinked her big, watery eyes and looked at Lu Zhaoxue and Chu Siheng with curiosity.
"Sister, what is a real married couple? Are there fake married couples?"
As soon as Lu Zhaoxing said this, the atmosphere in the room instantly fell silent. Lu Zhaoxue's cheeks flushed crimson, and Chu Siheng's ear tips turned bright red.
Chu Siheng raised his eyes, his gaze filled with a burning intensity and obvious anticipation. He glanced discreetly at Lu Zhaoxue beside him.
Lu Zhaoxue felt a little flustered, wondering why Lu Zhaoxing suddenly brought this up! She hurriedly avoided Chu Siheng's gaze and put a few more pieces of braised pork into Lu Zhaoxing's bowl.
Then, Lu Zhaoxue pretended to be serious and said, "Zhaoxing, what nonsense are you talking about! Don't ask that question again!"
"Okay... I was just asking casually." Lu Zhaoxing stuffed a piece of braised pork into his mouth and responded somewhat indistinctly.
"Sister, your cooking is so delicious... I love your cooking the most!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Zhaoxue felt a pang of pain in her heart, and her eyes reddened slightly. Seeing Lu Zhaoxing eating with a satisfied expression, she quickly added more food to her bowl.
Lu Zhaoxue's voice trembled slightly as she said, "Zhaoxing, as long as you like it, that's all that matters. Whatever you want to eat in the future, your sister will make it for you."
"Okay, thank you, sister!" Lu Zhaoxing nodded vigorously, obediently agreed, and then buried her head in her food.
Lu Zhaoxue looked at Lu Zhaoxing, a hint of guilt and heartache flashing in her eyes. Perhaps this was all she could do for her sister now. If it weren't for her mistakes, Lu Zhaoxing wouldn't have turned out this way.
