As the two walked and talked, Xiao Liuchen suddenly roared. If he hadn't retained a shred of reason, he would have thrown the woman onto the carriage and given her a good beating.
All his sincere efforts to help her and bring her into the palace to overturn the He family's case were in vain. Why was she so stubborn and unwilling to bow down to him?
In fact, given his status, even if he wasn't the eldest son in his family, such a major life event as marriage was not something he could decide alone. Not to mention that before this trip south on business, his mother, the Eldest Princess, had already begun arranging marriages for him with eligible young women from various families, ultimately choosing the daughter of Prime Minister Luo.
He was not satisfied with the marriage, but his cousin, the emperor, needed him to do something, so he agreed, partly to avoid Miss Luo.
More than two months had passed, and he had been too lazy to inquire about the situation. He didn't know what the current situation was, so he thought he would have the woman go to his cousin to ask for help, and then tell his cousin that they were in love. In this way, out of respect for the late Minister He, his cousin would not wrong He Yiyi. With his own persuasion, even his mother could not force him to marry Miss Luo.
But he actually wanted to reject him! Xiao Liuchen felt exhausted. Did he really have to marry this complete stranger, Miss Luo, and live a life of polite distance? He already had someone he loved, so why couldn't they be together!
The system anxiously explained from the side: "Master, you'd better say yes quickly, or your dream guy will be snatched away by someone else!"
Lu Qingyan remained completely calm: [Such a large, living person—if he could be easily snatched away, why would I keep him around?]
The system was almost in tears: [But the male god didn't do it on purpose. Aren't filial piety paramount in ancient times? He couldn't disobey the princess's arrangements.]
Lu Qingyan raised an eyebrow smugly: "Actually, with his abilities, it would have been easy for him to refuse this marriage, but he didn't. Instead, he asked me to petition the Emperor for a decree to grant us the marriage."
The system quieted down to listen to Lu Qingyan continue her explanation, pondering in her heart why her idol had done this...
Doesn't his doing this mean he cares about me? It's a pity, if he doesn't say it clearly, I won't agree to be with him.
Sigh, I always manage to get married so easily, it feels like I'm getting the short end of the stick.
Lu Qingyan picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, and said with a smile, "Disciple, I know you've been coveting my beauty for a long time. Don't worry, I will definitely make sure you get what you want one day."
Xiao Liuchen's face lit up with joy: "Master, does this mean you've agreed?"
“Hmm.” Lu Qingyan nodded, as if she hadn’t been the one who had rejected him before: “Young Master Xiao is a dragon among men with exceptional looks. His skin is like pearls and jade, his face is like a peach blossom, his bones are like green jade, and his figure is as beautiful as a fairy… I have long admired him.”
As Lu Qingyan spoke, she lifted Xiao Liuchen's chin with one hand and kissed him.
The girl's lips were very soft, with a faint tea fragrance. The moment she kissed him, Xiao Liuchen felt something explode in his mind.
He didn't know when he started missing this person, but the longing was so intense it hurt his heart. To get closer to her, even someone as proud as him was willing to act silly in front of her and call her "Master."
As he pondered this, he became increasingly proactive, bringing his lips to hers and continuing their passionate kiss. She made sounds that were both embarrassing and infuriating... He reached out to pull her into his arms, but Lu Qingyan pushed him away forcefully: "Disciple, your enthusiasm is truly overwhelming for your master!"
