Chapter 648 Is He Going to Snatch the Bride?
The procession delivering betrothal gifts at the entrance of the Cheng residence has begun to enter the mansion.
Cheng Wan'er and Yi'er were still locked in a stalemate in a corner outside the mansion.
"Your Highness, whether I marry into the You family or not seems to have nothing to do with you," Cheng Wan'er said slowly. In her eyes, Yi'er had never cared about her, so she was very puzzled by his behavior at this moment.
Yi'er has always been a composed person and would never do anything impolite.
Regardless of whether Cheng Wan'er marries into the You family or not, his appearance is somewhat illogical.
Could it be Mianmian?
Cheng Wan'er guessed, "Your Highness, did Mianmian send you to deliver a message?"
She smiled and said, "Perfect timing. Please tell Mianmian that today I..."
Before she could finish speaking, Yi'er pulled her along and strode towards the carriage beside her.
Yi'er was a head taller than Cheng Wan'er, and she could easily pull her into the carriage with just a little effort.
Cheng Wan'er felt dizzy and disoriented. When she came to her senses, she found Yi'er carrying her on her shoulder, swaying back and forth.
She was made to sit properly in the carriage.
With a sullen face, Yi'er coldly called out to the coachman outside the carriage, "Go to the south of the city."
There is a Zhou family mansion in the south of the city, which Zhou Ruiyuan prepared for Du Wanchun.
If they got tired of living in the palace, they would go to live in the houses in the south of the city.
This place is quite remote, and no one knows their identities.
Cheng Wan'er sat in the carriage, still completely bewildered. "Your Highness, what's going on?"
Yi'er turned her head to look out of the carriage and said seriously, "It wasn't Mianmian who asked me to come today."
Cheng Wan'er looked surprised, "Then Your Highness?"
Yi'er had already figured it out in that instant: he had special feelings for the woman in front of him.
He didn't want her to marry into the You family.
Today is just the betrothal ceremony. If Cheng Wan'er is unwilling, there is still a chance to back out. But if it really comes to the wedding, even if he begs his parents, it will be too late.
"It's me who doesn't want you to marry." Yi'er slowly turned her head, looking at Cheng Wan'er with deep eyes.
Her clear eyes were full of sincerity.
Cheng Wan'er suddenly felt as if something had pierced her heart, making her breath catch in her throat, as if time had stood still, and her mind went blank.
Seeing her stunned expression, Yi'er said again, "This time I came of my own accord. I don't want you to marry into the You family."
"because......."
"Because I want you to marry me..."
He gazed intently at Cheng Wan'er, his tender eyes almost piercing through her.
All of this was too sudden for Cheng Wan'er, as if it were a dream.
She could hardly believe her eyes.
For years, she never imagined that Yi'er would fall for him, nor did she ever think that she could marry him.
The sudden words startled her.
Cheng Wan'er's lips trembled slightly, her head was lowered, and she didn't know where to put her hands.
"Your Highness...I...I..."
She stammered for a long time without being able to say a word.
Yi'er reached out and held her trembling hand tightly, softening her voice to comfort her, "Don't be afraid, I won't scare you. Don't worry, I will arrange everything properly today and won't let you suffer any grievances."
Cheng Wan'er gradually calmed down. She stared blankly at Yi'er and finally asked the question she wanted to ask, "Your Highness wants to marry me because..."
Yi'er held her hand tighter and said with utmost seriousness, "Of course, it's because I love you."
He looks somewhat like his father now.
Zhou Ruiyuan is never ambiguous when it comes to matters of the heart. Once he has decided on someone, he will openly express his love.
Now Yi'er has learned this from him.
Cheng Wan'er's heart was pounding. The carriage continued to move forward, and although there was the sound of horses' hooves, it could not stop the sound of their heartbeats.
Her nose suddenly stung, her eyes reddened slightly, and her heart was filled with uncontrollable joy.
"Your Highness, I am merely an unfavored daughter in the Cheng family. How could I be worthy of you?"
Yi'er couldn't stand these words, so he patiently said slowly, "If we're really talking about who's not good enough for you, it should be me who's not good enough for you. Putting aside our different statuses, how could I possibly compare to you in terms of talent?"
Cheng Wan'er looked up at him, tears welling up in her eyes.
Yi'er panicked when she saw the tears. Her father had said that a good man should not let a woman cry.
He quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe Cheng Wan'er's tears, "Don't cry, don't cry, did I scare you?"
Cheng Wan'er looked at him intently and shook her head. "No, no, I'm just too happy."
Yi'er paused, and the air in the carriage seemed to freeze again. His eyes darted around, revealing a hint of surprise, but it was quickly overshadowed by joy.
He pulled her into his arms and said with a smile, "That's wonderful, I'm so happy too. Thank you, thank you for loving me as well."
Cheng Wan'er was held tightly by him. She reached out and patted his arm, saying, "Your Highness, let's go back to the manor now."
"Back to the manor, what about the You family?" Yi'er asked, puzzled.
Cheng Wan'er wiped away her tears and chuckled, saying, "Today, the person I'm betrothed to in the You family isn't me, but my fourth sister."
