She wanted to give Ye Zeyu a chance, and also wanted to give herself a chance.
She feared she would regret it later if she rejected him outright without any prior indication.
It might have been the moment Ye Zeyu kissed her, or perhaps it was the moment Ye Zeyu earnestly told her she was beautiful.
In short, Ye Ziyu is now special in her heart.
Ye Zeyu thought carefully about what he had just said, and the more he thought about it, the redder his face became.
How could he have said all that?!
Fortunately, the outcome was good; Su Muxi agreed to marry him.
It seems those veterans were right; when a woman is being unreasonable, you have to go along with her and appease her.
Sure enough, women are troublesome; he only needs Su Muxi.
"I'm not lying to you."
Ye Zeyu said in a deep voice, his eyes full of seriousness.
Those three simple words made Su Muxi feel a little suffocated.
She tilted her head shyly and said, "Okay, put me down now."
Her voice was soft, with a hint of coquettishness.
It is said that like master, like subordinate. Now it seems that if the subordinate is a fool, the master is probably just as bad!
Standing outside the door trying to eavesdrop, Xiao Ce saw that there was no movement inside. While feeling puzzled and anxious, he was even more angry.
He was certain he hadn't misheard; Su Muxi wanted to break off her engagement with his master, but his master didn't want to, and even wanted Su Muxi to take responsibility for him…
What makes Su Muxi so special?!
His master is so outstanding, what is it about him that makes him unworthy of Su Muxi?!
Suppressing the urge to rush into the house and confront Su Muxi, Xiao Ce bent down and peered through the crack in the door, trying to see if he could see what was happening inside. But as soon as he made that move, he felt a tickle in his nose.
"Achoo!"
He sneezed loudly, his body instinctively leaning forward.
As a result, he accidentally bumped his head into the door and saw his master holding Su Muxi tightly...
The two people inside the house were also startled by Xiao Ce's sudden intrusion.
Su Muxi quickly reached out and hugged Ye Zeyu, burying her face in Ye Zeyu's neck, looking ashamed to be seen by others.
Ye Zeyu was even more distracted by Su Muxi's sudden action, but when he saw Xiao Ce standing at the door, he only felt annoyed.
"roll!"
Ye Ziyu roared, scaring Xiao Ce so much that he scrambled out of the room.
Perhaps because he was too flustered, Xiao Ce did not close the door.
Feeling the cold wind blowing in from outside, Su Muxi patted Ye Zeyu on the shoulder.
"Put me down! We're not married yet!"
Hearing this, Ye Ziyu was reluctant to let go, but his dark eyes were fixed on Su Muxi's face, making Su Muxi feel shy.
"...Do I have flowers on my face?"
"without."
"Then what are you looking at!"
Ye Zeyu seemed to wake from a dream, and coughed lightly.
"…cough!"
A fleeting look of annoyance crossed his eyes.
What's wrong with him? Could it be that the medicine he took last night wasn't completely neutralized?
But it doesn't matter, anyway, Su Muxi will soon be his wife.
"I'll take you home."
…
In the carriage that took Su Muxi back to her residence
Ye Zeyu held Su Muxi's hand the whole time, his phoenix eyes occasionally glancing at Su Muxi's face.
Although the car was dimly lit, Ye Zeyu's gaze was so intense that it was hard for Su Muxi not to notice.
Those who usually look at her are filled with curiosity, disdain, and schadenfreude.
But someone like Ye Zeyu has never existed before.
Hearing the sound of the wheels rolling, Su Muxi suppressed her shyness and looked up directly at Ye Zeyu.
"Ye Ziyu, do you really think I'm pretty?"
"Um."
The voice that flowed from his nasal cavity was magnetic and without the slightest hesitation.
Su Muxi touched her burning cheek with the back of her hand, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Do you think Princess Chang Le is beautiful?"
Although she didn't want to compare herself to others, she wanted to confirm that Ye Ziyu wasn't someone with vision problems.
Ye Zeyu probably doesn't meet many women normally, but Bai Mengying is practically his cousin, so Ye Zeyu must have met her before.
That's why she mentioned Bai Mengying.
But Ye Zeyu interpreted these words differently.
He released Su Muxi's hand and, before Su Muxi could react, stretched out his long arm and pulled her onto his lap.
A deep, slightly hoarse voice slowly rang in Su Muxi's ears.
"Don't worry, I'm not Qiao Zimo, and I will never become Qiao Zimo. I didn't have a childhood sweetheart, and I didn't know any other women before. So, there will only be you."
Su Muxi felt the heat on her ear, and half of her body went numb.
She really found it hard to see the Ye Zeyu in front of her as the same person as the Ye Zeyu from a few days ago.
Wasn't he supposed to be averse to women and full of malice?
How come he's now even better at seducing women than those slick, frivolous playboys...?
"Who's worried about that? I just wanted to test your taste. After all, apart from my dad, no other man has ever said I'm pretty."
As soon as she finished speaking, Su Muxi felt the heat from Ye Zeyu's large hand on her left cheek.
The calloused hands caressed her face, giving her a slightly strange feeling.
"No need to test me, I'm fine. It's just that those people are short-sighted and can't see your beauty."
Upon hearing Ye Zeyu's words, Su Muxi was startled, thinking that Ye Zeyu had seen through her secret.
But then Ye Zeyu continued, "There was an old dog in the Xuanwu Army, owned by a soldier. Once on the battlefield, the old dog lost an eye while saving the soldier. It looked terrifying, but everyone in the army praised it as cute."
So appearance doesn't mean anything. In my opinion, you are very beautiful, a hundred times more beautiful than Bai Mengying.
Su Muxi blinked, "...You're comparing me to a dog?"
The ambiguous atmosphere in the carriage vanished instantly.
Ye Ziyu quickly explained, "That's not what I meant. I just wanted to say you're very nice..."
"Alright, that's enough!"
Su Muxi interrupted sharply, looking very angry.
He reached out and tapped the black gold mask on Ye Zeyu's face, then warned in a deep voice, "Remember what you said today. If I find out you're lying to me, there are a hundred kinds of poison waiting for you!"
"…good!"
The carriage slowly came to a stop; we had arrived at the Su residence.
Su Muxi slapped away Ye Zeyu's hand that was around her waist, stood up from Ye Zeyu's lap, and was about to lift the curtain to get out of the car when she stopped.
Turning around and getting closer to Ye Zeyu, she ripped off Ye Zeyu's mask and, before Ye Zeyu could react, accurately kissed his thin lips.
The surprise came so suddenly that Ye Zeyu was momentarily stunned.
Just as he was about to deepen the kiss and savor Su Muxi's fragrant and soft red lips, Su Muxi left first.
"Don't worry, I'll take responsibility for you!"
After saying that, he got off the bus as if he were fleeing.
He finally breathed a sigh of relief when he got back to his room.
She cupped her burning cheeks in her hands and murmured, "Wearing a mask, how cunning!"
