Su Yu was a little confused. What did this woman mean by saying something so out of the blue?
He turned around blankly and asked Leng Yuexi, "What exactly happened?"
In the blink of an eye, Leng Yuexi immediately changed her expression, her lips red and teeth white, her eyes bright and clear, and she looked at the other person with affection: "Brother Yu, you also know that our Ziyan Kingdom has only been prosperous on the surface since our ancestors, but in reality, our military strength is far inferior to that of other powerful countries. Especially in recent years, we have frequently suffered from the oppression of the Southern Kingdom and are always at risk of defection."
“Three months ago, the King of the Southern Kingdom suddenly had a wicked idea. He wanted to force me to marry him. If I didn’t agree, he would lead his troops to attack the capital. So my father, mother, and my beloved grandmother had no choice but to give me to the King of the Southern Kingdom. Only in this way could the war be temporarily quelled.”
"Now, there is another way to solve this problem, which is to find a capable young master for the Ziyan Kingdom so that it can avoid this calamity and save all living beings from suffering."
“Brother Yu, now that I look at the whole world, you are the most suitable candidate. I hope that you can agree to help me this time, considering that we have known each other since we were young.”
Su Yu listened quietly to Leng Yuexi's narration. After a long while, he did not respond immediately, but at this moment, he already had his own plans in mind.
Later, he seemed to have figured it out. He hesitated silently for a moment, and his complicated gaze slowly cleared. He spoke these words in a calm tone, and his expression was extremely indifferent.
"Yuexi, even if we put aside our personal relationship for the time being, the Leng family and the Su family have always had a good relationship and are the most rare family friendship between the royal families of the two countries. Moreover, your father and mother have been very good to me. So, I cannot sit idly by when Ziyan Kingdom is in trouble."
"However, I will repay this kindness in my own way. Even if I have no choice but to resort to the worst possible means, at most I will find that Southern Kingdom monarch to exchange my life for yours. I will not fake a marriage to ruin your reputation, and I will not betray Yu Qianqian for this."
Leng Yuexi pondered Su Yu's reply and was completely stunned. Before coming, she had considered many possibilities, but she did not expect the other party to be so extreme. Moreover, Su Yu's unusually serious appearance did not seem to be an act.
She couldn't believe that there really was such a devoted man in the world. His actions, which spared no expense for Yu Qianqian, were both clumsy and admirable.
Leng Yuexi was very indignant about this. Why wasn't she the lucky one? After all, she was quite fond of Su Yu, and her feelings for him were in no way inferior to Yu Qianqian's.
"Brother Yu... I'm very curious, why would you rather go through all this trouble to deal with others, even at the cost of your own life, than choose to fake a marriage with me? After all, this is currently the least costly strategy." Leng Yuexi looked puzzled, with regret and resentment in her eyes, staring at him intently, her anxiety evident from the inside out.
Su Yu turned her gaze slightly, met her eyes, and smiled gently: "Yuexi, have I ever told you that everyone has their own true love in their life? Once the person destined for you appears in your life, power and status, including your life, all seem to become less important."
"I chose her without hesitation because she is the only light in my life. She deserves my heartfelt treatment, and she is the only one."
