Wei Che looked at Su Huaiyue who was pretending not to understand, with a faint arc at the corner of his mouth. He looked at her with a smile, and the calculation in his eyes became even stronger.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, complex and passionate emotions surging deep in his eyes.
After a brief silence, the corners of his lips rose slightly, forming an arc of determination.
Then, he slowly raised his eyes, his gaze fixed on Su Huaiyue. His eyes were fiery and focused, as if he wanted to imprint her entire being deeply in his heart.
"Huaiyue," he said, his voice deep and magnetic, calling out her name directly with an unquestionable certainty in his tone, "I don't want to maintain our current relationship as eldest sister-in-law and fifth brother. I want a different identity."
His words were powerful and echoed in the quiet courtyard, as if announcing an irreversible decision.
When Su Huaiyue heard Wei Che call out her name so bluntly, her heartstrings trembled suddenly and her heart began to beat violently uncontrollably.
The familiar voice seemed to carry an invisible magic that instantly stirred up waves deep in her heart.
My cheeks felt like summer had suddenly arrived and they instantly became hot.
But she forced herself to remain calm, trying to suppress her inner panic, pretending to be calm, and raised her eyes to meet Wei Che's fiery gaze.
"Then what exactly is this other identity you mentioned?"
Her voice trembled slightly, but she tried her best to keep it steady, with a hint of anticipation and nervousness in her eyes.
Wei Che did not give an answer immediately, and the smile on his lips became more and more obvious.
He took a step forward, approaching Su Huaiyue step by step. Each step was steady and powerful, as if stepping on Su Huaiyue's heart.
He has an upright posture, and his steps reveal an innate majesty and confidence. His aura is so powerful that it cannot be ignored.
As he approached, Su Huaiyue could clearly feel the unique aura emanating from him, which made her heart beat faster.
His gaze was always fixed on Su Huaiyue's face, his eyes full of affection and tenderness, as if nothing in the world could compare to the woman in front of him.
When he walked in front of Su Huaiyue, the distance between them was so close that they could almost hear each other's heartbeats.
He stopped, lowered his head slightly, met Su Huaiyue's eyes, and asked softly, "Huaiyue, do you like phoenixes or mandarin ducks?"
His voice was soft and alluring, echoing in Su Huaiyue's ears.
Su Huaiyue felt her heart beating so fast that it almost jumped out of her throat, and her breathing became rapid.
She swallowed hard, trying to calm her frantic heartbeat, but the "boom, boom, boom" sound became clearer and clearer, as if it was going to drown out her sanity.
Su Huaiyue slowly raised her eyes, with a hint of nervousness and anticipation, and met Wei Che's eyes.
At this moment, everything around her seemed to be still, and only Wei Che's deep eyes caught her eye.
In his eyes, the undisguised deep affection was like a blazing flame, burning brightly and radiating light.
That gaze seemed to have an invisible power that tightly wrapped her whole body, leaving her nowhere to escape.
A panic I had never experienced before spread in my heart.
She has always been a calm and self-controlled person, but at this moment, facing Wei Che's passionate and direct emotional offensive, she felt a little uneasy.
She didn't like the feeling that Wei Che had complete control of the initiative.
I have never been at a disadvantage in love in my previous life, so I must have the upper hand in this life!
So, she raised her chin slightly and said stubbornly, "I don't like any of them. Besides, you haven't even asked me if I'm willing."
Wei Che looked at her pretending to be calm, and a smile appeared in his eyes, like the warm sunshine in spring, soft and warm.
The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, outlining a charming arc, and he asked softly: "Huaiyue, are you willing?"
The voice seemed to carry a hint of temptation, gently plucking Su Huaiyue's heartstrings.
A strong urge surged in Su Huaiyue's heart, and she wanted to give a positive answer immediately.
But her reason told her that she couldn't compromise so easily.
She bit her lip, trying hard to control her inner emotions. She didn't answer, but simply walked away from Wei Che.
Her steps seemed calm and steady, and every step was firm, but only she knew that her legs were a little weak at this moment, and she was supported by a stubborn will.
Her face was already red and hot, as if steam was steaming out of it, and her heart was beating so fast that it seemed about to jump out of her chest.
She was afraid that Wei Che would see her in such a panic, so she chose to escape.
She didn't dare look back, but just quickened her pace, wanting to get away from this place that made her panic as soon as possible.
Wei Che was left alone in the yard, watching Su Huaiyue's departing back, but he was not angry.
The smile on his lips became more and more distinct.
"You haven't asked me if I'm willing..."
He whispered back what Su Huaiyue had asked him, chuckled, and answered himself: "Whether you're willing or not, your eyes clearly told me."
The day of departure soon arrived. The sun shone on the streets of Youzhou City, covering the city with a golden glow.
Wei Yunrou was wearing a brand new light pink dress, and the pearls and jade on her head swayed gently with her movements, making a pleasant sound.
She calculated the time and thought that she might need something on the way, so she decided to go out and buy some things just in case.
She walked briskly through the bustling market, buying things as she went, her hands gradually filled with various items.
As she walked, she came to a snack stand, which was filled with all kinds of snacks, including cute plum blossom cakes, tempting egg yolk cakes, and milk skin cakes with a rich milky aroma.
Wei Yunrou's attention was immediately attracted. She walked forward happily and chose carefully.
"Boss, give me two of these plum blossom cakes and three milk skin cakes."
As Wei Yunrou spoke, she reached into her purse.
At this moment, she suddenly felt someone hit her body hard and she almost fell down.
She subconsciously steadied herself, feeling a little annoyed. Just as she was about to open her mouth to accuse someone, she suddenly realized something was wrong.
Her face changed and she hurriedly touched her pocket to confirm whether the purse was still there.
When she touched it, her face turned pale instantly. Her pockets were empty. Her purse was gone!
Although Wei Yunrou was usually lively and cute, she was also quite bold. Seeing this, she didn't hesitate to chase after the thief, shouting, "Catch the thief! Don't let him get away!"
