Chapter 123: Staying Together for Life
Fan Jingrui's answer was too quick, which made Chu Ci feel a little confused. What should he say?
He was clearly just following his own heart, but at that moment, Chu Ci felt that he was being unreasonable.
As soon as this thought flashed through Chu Ci's mind, she cursed herself inwardly, "Isn't this cheap?" Then she quickly put this terrible thought behind her.
Chu Ci simply changed the topic to Fan Jingrui: "What did my husband want to say just now?"
Fan Jingrui paused for a moment after hearing this. "Well, my wife has already said what I wanted to say. My wife, please keep it this way. As for me..."
At this point, Fan Jingrui hesitated for a moment, but finally mustered up the courage to speak out. "Right now, I don't have the ability to give my wife the sense of security she desires, but I will try my best. I just hope that by then, I won't be a gray-haired old man."
Hearing this, Chu Ci finally burst out laughing, a smile that came from the heart. "Don't worry, I won't delay you forever. If..."
But just as he was halfway through his words, he was interrupted by Fan Jingrui: "My wife, there is no if."
Although Fan Jingrui's tone was firm, his eyes were full of pleading.
So Chu Ci softened her heart a little, "Husband, are you so confident in yourself?"
Hearing Chu Ci's question, Fan Jingrui finally breathed a sigh of relief. "I don't know what kind of education you've received, and I can't think in sync with you, but I will always respect your choice."
At this point, Fan Jingrui's face flushed slightly: "Madam, are you willing to become a real family with your husband?"
Seeing Chu Ci didn't respond, Fan Jingrui continued to intensify his pressure: "My wife was forced into the wedding in the capital. After returning to Jingtian Village and removing the Gu from the Chu family, we can hold a new wedding in front of everyone."
Chu Ci was stunned when he heard this, but Fan Jingrui misunderstood. "If, my lady, you don't want to see the Chu family..."
Chu Ci: "Stop——"
Fan Jingrui immediately obeyed the order and stopped. Chu Ci then stood up and touched Fan Jingrui's forehead, saying, "You have considered it so carefully. Tell me the truth, how long have you been thinking about this idea?"
Fan Jingrui's face turned even redder when he heard this. "Not long."
But the more this happened, the brighter Chu Ci's eyes became as he stared at Fan Jingrui: "Not long, how long? Could it be when they found out that the Chu family was poisoned?"
Fan Jingrui didn't deny it. Instead, he stared at Chu Ci and asked, "My lady, do you think your husband is deliberately plotting this?"
Chu Ci pondered for a long time before answering solemnly, "Even if you are plotting against me, I will accept it. The worst that can happen is a divorce. After all, my heart is mine, so I'm not afraid of my husband stealing it away."
Chuci is a double entendre.
Fan Jingrui only heard that Chu Ci agreed and she promised to stay with him for the rest of her life!
Then, he opened his long arms and hugged Chu Ci tightly. "Thank you, my lady."
Chu Ci was also in a good mood. No matter what the future held, at least at this moment, Fan Jingrui's heart was sincere. "Husband, I want to thank you too. Thank you for tolerating my willfulness and my temper. And..."
Looking at Chu Ci's rosy little mouth opening and closing, Fan Jingrui felt a rare sense of anxiety, so he got hot-headed and blocked it with his mouth.
“Woo——”
Chu Ci was startled at first, but then quickly turned from passive to active.
As a hot-blooded man, Fan Jingrui could not stand such passion, so a simple action of gagging quickly turned into passion.
Fortunately, even at this moment, he did not completely lose his sanity. Although he was very uncomfortable, he still hoped to give Chu Ci a perfect wedding night.
"My wife, stop. This is the cabin and we haven't had our wedding yet." Fan Jingrui spoke these few words breathlessly.
Chu Ci: “Hahahaha——”
There's no way, Fan Jingrui is just too funny.
Fan Jingrui waited lovingly until Chu Ci finished laughing before he calmly planned all the necessary preparations for the wedding.
But the more Chu Ci listened, the tighter his brows furrowed. "So getting married here is so troublesome?"
Chu Ci immediately backed out, "How about we just do it ourselves and do it once more?"
Fan Jingrui didn't refute, but asked, "My lady, won't you have any regrets? I've heard that women care a lot about rituals."
"But I'm more afraid of trouble." Chu Ci answered firmly.
Fan Jingrui chuckled softly and continued, "My dear, just be a beautiful bride. I will take care of everything else."
Chu Ci was about to agree, and just as the word "OK" was on the tip of his tongue, he heard a series of urgent knocks on the door.
Just as Fan Jingrui was about to get up, he heard Qian Yan's anxious voice coming from outside the door: "Brother, sister-in-law, a boat has caught up and wants to see you and sister-in-law."
Chu Ci and Fan Jingrui exchanged a glance, then stood up and opened the door. "Let's go take a look on the deck."
Qianyan didn't say anything and followed Fan Jingrui and Chu Ci obediently.
But why was the person she was confronting different from what she imagined?
Looking at Jin Ming in his nightgown on the opposite boat, Chu Ci's mind was confused for a moment: "Jin Ming, haven't you always been with my master? Why are you..."
Jin Ming didn't waste any words and spoke directly: "My lord is injured. I beg Dr. Hua to help."
"Where is the person?" Chu Ci narrowed his eyes and asked hurriedly.
"It's on the boat." Jin Ming said, pointing the long knife in his hand, and immediately two boatmen tremblingly carried the purple-robed envoy forward.
The corner of Chu Ci's mouth twitched. Is Xiuyi's law enforcement so simple and rough?
Looking at the guards beside him who were also afraid to utter a word, Chu Ci said, "Jin Ming, how about you put away the knife in your hand?"
Upon hearing this, Jin Ming sheathed the long sword in his hand, and the Chu family guards then made way.
I have to say, Jin Ming is really powerful. After finding a place to stay, Jin Ming jumped over with the Purple-robed Envoy in his arms.
Chu Ci could even see the blood gushing out of Zi Yi's wound. Wasn't he afraid that he would die from excessive blood loss before he found Doctor Hua?
"Master, Master—" Chu Ci turned around and shouted loudly to the crowd.
Doctor Hua, who was watching the show in the crowd, sighed secretly. Why did he teach Chu Ci medicine on impulse?
Although sighing, Doctor Hua still stepped forward. Without even checking Jin Ming's pulse, he asked directly, "You should be able to handle such an injury. Tell me, how did this tough guy get injured?"
"Master, let's go back to the cabin first." Chu Ci hurriedly reminded.
Doctor Hua had no objection to this.
This is really hard for Jin Ming.
While he was following Chu Ci's instructions, he also had to answer Doctor Hua's questions.
"It was Old Man Chen. He can not only control snakes, but also knows Gu. In order to save someone, Master Zi Yi was first stabbed by Chen Jingting, and then fell victim to Old Man Chen's Gu."
