"What? Does Your Highness want to have a long talk with me by candlelight?" The man in white opened the door, saw that it was Lu Zheng, and joked.
"Get lost, you smell like sweat, who wants to spend the night with you?" Lu Zheng punched the man in white in the chest, then went inside and closed the door behind him.
The woman in white smiled and followed Lu Zheng to the window.
It's quite hot during the day in Qi'an Town, but the night breeze is cool, which is just right for the two of them to sit by the window.
"Are you really going to marry Boss Du? You're not kidding?" Lu Zheng asked, taking a sip of tea.
"Do you think I'm joking?" the man in white asked back.
"I don't think you're joking, that's why I'm surprised! Why did you suddenly have the idea of starting a family?" Lu Zheng asked with a smile.
“Young Master, this isn’t right! You can’t expect me to watch all of you younger than me get married and have children, while I’m left to grow old alone! Who doesn’t want companionship in this life? Even the Third Young Lady wants to matchmake Dongxue and Bai Er, so can’t I find someone I like myself?” Bai Yi paused, smiled, and continued, “When I first met the Gu family, I was already of marriageable age, right? Now even the Fourth Young Master and the Fifth Young Lady have come to their senses, and I’m still going to be single? Do I have to wait until the Sixth Young Master gets married before I start thinking about this?”
“What you said makes sense. But Lao Bai, is it really decided that it will be Boss Du? Her husband’s family…” Lu Zheng asked again.
He didn't think there was anything wrong with Du San Niang having been married before; he just thought that Du's husband's family was rather troublesome.
They still have people protecting Du San Niang. Over the years, Du San Niang's ex-husband has never given up on her, even though Du San Niang's attitude has always been indifferent.
"What do I have to be afraid of? I still have you and Third Miss, don't I? It's good to have a big tree to lean on! What can that Chen guy do to me? If he really dares to do anything to me, wouldn't that be going against you, Third Miss, and Lord Gu?" The man in white looked indifferent.
He already knew what kind of family Du San Niang's ex-husband was many years ago, and he wasn't afraid then, let alone now.
"Why don't you just say that you're a third-rank general personally appointed by the Emperor, with a position reserved for you at any time?" Lu Zheng said with a sullen smile.
"Those empty titles are nothing to us." The man in white waved his hand.
“How can I not want them? You’re planning to get married and have children. Do you expect your children to continue protecting mine? Shouldn’t they grow up as equals, like brothers?” Lu Zheng said seriously.
"Your Highness, would you and the Third Miss allow my child to protect your child? Probably not!" The man in white remained calm.
“You…” Lu Zheng said helplessly.
"I'm still unsure about this! Tonight I was just expressing what I was thinking. I have this plan, but who knows what Boss Du's decision will be? What if she doesn't want to? I'm not the kind of person who forces people. When she decides, I will naturally consider her and the child's sake." Bai Yi stopped joking and stated his plan.
“Old Bai, you need to have confidence in yourself. Back when you were in the Thousand Blades Sect, you were able to charm many girls, let alone now. I think Boss Du will eventually agree to your request, so you need to think more about the future,” Lu Zheng said earnestly.
