Chapter 22 Only by marrying me can this happen...
In the end, Chu Yannuo fled in disarray.
Tang Xinuan watched his departing figure gradually disappear from sight, her eyes reddening.
The person she relied on for life and trusted wholeheartedly is being gradually stripped away from her.
"Don't be sad, Miss," Xiaoqian helped Tang Xinuan back into the house, "The young master's wedding is in three days, then we'll be free."
Tang Xinuan nodded.
I returned to my bedroom feeling somewhat lost.
Seeing Zhou Chuanxing standing in the room, she suddenly remembered that there was someone else in the room.
"Xiaoqian, I want to be by myself for a while."
Xiaoqian followed behind her, unaware of the people inside the room. "Miss, I'm right at the door. Call me if you need anything."
Tang Xinuan closed the door.
Like a wilted eggplant, it came to Zhou Chuanxing with its little head drooping.
Open your arms, "Hug me."
Zhou Chuanxing was a little stunned. He looked down at the little girl and figured that she wasn't trying to get something because she was too short.
Therefore, it was impossible for him to pick her up and put her on his shoulders.
Then it can only be...
Zhou Chuanxing picked the person up and carried them horizontally.
Tang Xinuan: "..."
I knew this person was dumber than her.
She struggled to get up, saying, "This isn't how you hug someone."
Zhou Chuanxing stood obediently like a child just beginning his education, waiting for the female teacher's guidance.
Tang Xinu threw herself into his arms, first pulling his hands behind her back, then stretching out her slender arms to tightly encircle his back.
Her little face was pressed tightly against his chest.
"hold me."
She nuzzled against the man's chest and said in a soft, sweet voice.
Zhou Chuanxing suddenly felt his heart pounding like a drum.
A month ago in the Hall of Diligent Governance, he held the little girl for the first time.
This is the second time.
He was even more flustered and inexperienced than when he first went to the battlefield to fight the enemy.
How could there be such a delicate little girl in the world, exuding an alluring fragrance?
He wished he could transform into a raptor and swallow her whole.
He gently tightened his grip, pulling the little girl completely into his arms.
Tang Xinuan was simple-minded and didn't have any complicated thoughts in her mind at the moment.
In a few days, she and Xiaoqian will be going to live in a completely unfamiliar place.
She didn't know how to describe her fear of the unknown world.
But she wanted to be held and comforted, or even have closer physical contact.
Do you know how to kiss?
She looked up at the man holding her, her eyes devoid of any desire.
Zhou Chuanxing's breath hitched; he had indeed never taken this course.
“You can teach me.”
Tang Xinuan tried her best to stand on tiptoe, wanting to bring her lips to the man's lips.
Unfortunately, she was too short and couldn't reach it no matter how hard she tried.
Feeling a little frustrated, she said with a stern face, "Why don't you just lower your head?"
Zhou Chuanxing: "..."
He simply sat down on the edge of the bed and hugged the little girl.
Next, Zhou Chuanxing experienced what it meant to be soft and yielding, what it meant to be unable to resist, and what it meant to be moved...
I wish I could crush it and press it into my chest.
But he still had to try hard to control himself.
The kissing was entirely led by the little girl.
He tilted his head back, suppressing his impulse and obediently bearing the consequences.
The little girl caressed his lips, and time seemed to stand still.
He didn't know how much time had passed, but just when he was about to lose control, she finally left his lips.
Then it landed on his prominent Adam's apple.
"Um……"
His throat bobbed, and he couldn't help but let out a muffled groan.
It was even harder to endure than being pinned to the gallows by an enemy.
But he dared not do anything, for fear of scaring away the tentative little rabbit.
However, their intimacy ultimately ended when Tang Xinuan tried to pull off his belt.
He held her down.
"If you want my body, you have to marry me and give me a proper status. Are you sure?"
"Men also need a title?" At this moment, Tang Xinuan's understanding was completely overturned.
She had never thought about this question.
Besides, isn't it usually men who give women titles and status? Why are these two doing it the other way around?
Having been confined to the Marquis's mansion for over a decade and only having access to a few people, she couldn't possibly have thought of this question.
“Of course,” Zhou Chuanxing said, holding her small face in his hands and pressing his thumb against her rosy lips, where his breath still lingered. “Love is mutual. Women want recognition, and men naturally want it too.”
Tang Xinuan couldn't understand Zhou Chuanxing's thoughts.
My cousin never intended to give her a formal title.
He probably doesn't care whether she gives him a formal title or not.
"Why?"
Zhou Chuanxing stared into her overly conflicted eyes, where there was a confusion he couldn't understand.
“Because,” he held the girl’s hand and placed it on his heart, “I want the whole world to know that you are my wife, and I also want the whole world to know that I am your husband.”
wife.
husband.
Tang Xinuan couldn't help but shed tears again.
My cousin doesn't want her to be his wife or his husband.
To outsiders, they will always be just cousins.
"Don't cry," Zhou Chuanxing said, his heart breaking at the sight of her tears. "If you can't figure something out right away, don't think about it. Just follow your heart."
Tang Xinuan really couldn't figure it out.
She kept her head down and spoke so softly that even she could barely hear herself.
"I don't know how to give a man a proper status."
Zhou Chuanxing picked her up and placed her on the bed. Then he knelt down in front of her and gently wiped away her tears, saying softly, "I hope you'll think it over in the next couple of days. Do you want to marry me? Only if you marry me can we have sex, understand?"
Tang Xinuan didn't quite understand.
She didn't know what the necessary connection was between having sex with him and marrying him.
She stared blankly at the person in front of her, and after a moment, nodded.
"Um."
However, a doubt remains: "If I can't give you a formal status, will you not want my help anymore?"
Zhou Chuanxing smiled and said, "These are two separate matters. You helped me because we are friends. As for our official status... there's no rush. Let's think it through before we talk about it."
"We're friends?" Tang Xinuan had never had any friends before.
The person closest to her in this mansion is Xiaoqian, but the two are mistress and servant.
Before her eldest and second eldest sisters got married, they took special care of her, but since they got married, she only sees them a few times a year.
Her cousin was good to her, but her cousin was family.
Zhou Chuanxing nodded: "Yes, would you like to be my friend?"
Tang Xinuan had never been so happy before. "I have a friend now, and you are my first friend."
Zhou Chuanxing had investigated and knew that Tang Xinuan had been kept under house arrest by Chu Yannuo, but he did not know that Chu Yannuo was so perverted that he even deprived her of the right to make friends.
"Yes, I am your first friend. After you leave here, you will have a second friend, a third friend, and many, many friends."
Tang Xinuan imagined a group of friends going out for a spring outing, watching lanterns, listening to opera, chasing and playing around. She was really looking forward to it.
"Pinky promise, you have to come and wait for me on my cousin's wedding day."
"Okay, pinky promise."
Zhou Chuanxing extended his little finger and hooked it with her soft, white little finger.
"I will definitely come."
