While Grandma Li found it heartwarming and touching, Zhen Wanwan felt as if she were sitting on pins and needles.
She really couldn't figure out what Zhuyuan was trying to do!
If I'm not mistaken, he was just subtly flirting with him!
Zhen Wanwan suppressed her excitement and swallowed hard. She leaned back and hugged her baby to her chest, creating a distance between them.
Zhu Yuan seemed oblivious to her resistance, and casually remarked, "You don't need to worry about the itinerant doctor. I'll bring him here even if I have to search every corner!"
Seeing the other person's serious expression, Zhen Wanwan was stunned for a moment before blurting out, "Why do you want to help me?"
"I'm not helping you! I'm helping me!"
"What?" Zhen Wanwan thought she had misheard.
Holding the child in one arm and grasping Zhen Wanwan's hand with the other, Zhu Yuan said sincerely, "When I mentioned finding a traveling doctor to treat you, I wasn't helping you, but saving myself!"
Zhen Wanwan froze, staring at him blankly, and asked in confusion, "Why?"
"Because..." Zhu Yuan paused for a few seconds, embarrassed, before finally saying, "You are my wife!"
Wife? When did that happen?
Zhen Wanwan looked at him in shock and quickly pulled her hand away.
She exclaimed in surprise, "Did you bump your head? We're not even married yet!"
After saying that, she felt it wasn't quite right and changed her words, saying, "No! What I mean is that we're not married, so when did I become your wife?"
Hearing her words, Zhu Yuan looked very hurt: "You...are you trying to renege on your debt?"
Zhu Yuan was already handsome with delicate skin, and when Zhen Wanwan saw the handsome man's sad expression, her heart skipped a beat for a few seconds.
I really want to tease him, I really want to see him cry!
She swallowed hard, and retorted with difficulty, "Don't change the subject. We're not related at all...we're not married..."
The next sentence was spoken very softly by Zhen Wanwan, as if she were warning herself.
Zhu Yuan sighed deeply, looking at Tianbao in his arms with disappointment.
"It's all my fault! That's why you've suffered so much along the way... Actually, I thought of you after we met in the cave that day."
Zhen Wanwan looked at him with slight surprise. She thought Zhu Yuan didn't remember her!
After all, the way Zhu Yuan looked at him back then was so unfamiliar; he never expected that Zhu Yuan would recognize him.
After a moment of silence, she said, "Then why didn't you acknowledge me back then? And then..."
Zhu Yuan looked directly into her eyes and explained without the slightest hesitation, "I'm scared!"
"Hmm? What are you afraid of?"
“I’ve been alone since I was little, while you have parents, siblings, and friends. My identity is special, and you might be in more danger if you stay with me, so I thought I shouldn’t let us become too entangled…”
"But...when I found out..." He glanced at Guaibao and Tianbao, pursed his lips, and continued, "I found out you gave birth to these two children..."
"So you want to take responsibility?" Zhen Wanwan said with a sullen laugh, a sudden fire rising in her heart.
To everyone's surprise, Zhu Yuan shook his head and denied it, saying, "No! I was thinking that I would give you some gold and silver, and if you wanted to get married, I could raise the child... If you didn't want to get married again, I would protect you from behind."
Seeing Zhen Wanwan's constipated expression, Zhu Yuan quietly added, "That's why I didn't force you to give me a title. As long as you, my lady, are willing to let me stay by your side, that's enough!"
After a heart-to-heart talk, the atmosphere in the room became much warmer.
Zhen Wanwan blushed, becoming even more afraid to look directly into Zhu Yuan's eyes, feeling both flustered and sweet inside.
Family members, who understands?! A handsome, aloof man confesses his love to you, wanting to stay by your side without asking for anything in return. Who wouldn't be excited?
If you ask whether Zhen Wanwan was moved, after all this time, Zhu Yuan has done for her and given her so much. She's not a stone, so how could she not be touched?
But the questions that need to be asked still need to be asked!
"Are you rich and powerful? Do you own a car and a house?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhen Wanwan felt that she had gone to unnecessary trouble. Wasn't this obvious?
Zhu Yuan nodded honestly: "I have no father or mother, no brothers or sisters, and... no distant relatives..."
He still remembered Zhen Wanwan's words that day, as if they were tailor-made for him.
Hearing this, she shifted uncomfortably and looked away awkwardly: "Okay! Um... then you can stay with me for now..."
After saying that, she realized it wasn't appropriate and quickly added, "If you behave well in the future, I'll give you a formal title!"
"By the way! My people are not allowed to have affairs!"
"Okay!" Zhu Yuan's lips curled up slightly, his mood improving considerably.
There were only two little cuties, looking at each other. They must have witnessed their parents' love, right?
After they confessed their feelings to each other, they were no longer reserved with each other.
For Zhen Wanwan, her current relationship with Zhu Yuan is simply that of boyfriend and girlfriend.
As for the future... we'll see!
Men with money tend to go bad. Even though she had already warned herself, what if it actually happens?
In an era of monogamy, men were all unfaithful. She dared not trust that in an era where concubinage was legal, Zhu Yuan would always keep his promise.
It's always good to leave yourself an out.
Zhu Yuan returned this time for two reasons: first, he missed his wife and children; second, he wanted to arrange for people to forge weapons!
The time is ripe; it's time to close the net!
Today is the first day of the relocation of Meizi Village. As the village chief, Zhen Fugui will definitely arrange a relocation celebration banquet.
As for the money for the wedding banquet, half of it came from the government and the other half came from the villagers' own pockets.
Although the villagers harbored some resentment towards Zhen Fugui, relocation was a major event, and no one wanted to spoil the mood at this time.
Early in the morning, Zhen Fugui took the silver given by the government and bought two hundred catties of meat from the butcher. The vegetables and grains were contributed by the villagers.
No matter how much Grandma Li loved her daughter, she couldn't bring herself to dampen her spirits during the meal.
So I endured my sadness and followed the others to the village entrance to help cook.
Since each family needed to send someone to help, Zhen Wanwan sent Granny Zhang over, while she, Rou'er, and Xiaomei tidied up the house.
Zhu Yuan managed to take care of the two children all by himself with ease, which even Zhen Wanwan sighed over.
No wonder everyone says men are good at taking care of kids!
Guaibao and Tianbao have always been very well-behaved, but as they grew older and gained weight, it became difficult for them and Zhang Mama to take care of them.
Now, Zhuyuan is taking on two opponents at once, holding one in each arm, and still managing to have a blast.
Just then, Qu Huaiyuan came over carrying a bag of pastries.
He subtly observed the atmosphere in the courtyard, sensing that something was off.
Seeing Zhu Yuan there, he was somewhat surprised: "Strategist, when will you be back?"
As Qu Huaiyuan asked the questions, he placed the pastries he was holding on the table in the main room.
He skillfully helped Zhen Wanwan and the others carry things.
Zhu Yuan's eyes darkened, his gaze falling on him, and he calmly said, "If you miss home, then go back!"
