"In my opinion, those young ladies have made a mistake. I didn't expect that Master Zhu is such an infatuated man."
The man stood up and said, "Hello, Lord Zhu, I am the son of the Grand Commander, Lin Baoli."
Zhu Linan gave him a cold look and said nothing.
Lin Baoli continued, "Master Zhu may have misunderstood. There is no personal relationship between Miss Xia and me."
Zhu Linan snorted coldly, "Of course I know, otherwise, do you think you can still stand here?"
Lin Baoli smiled awkwardly, and Xia Mingxuan interrupted, "You misunderstood. Although we said we were looking for a marriage partner, we both agreed that we were just getting to know each other and would not get married. This was purely to please the elders in our family. He has a girl he likes."
After these words were spoken, Zhu Linan's expression looked better.
But he did not relax his grip on Xia Mingxuan's hand at all.
Xia Mingxuan quickly broke free from his hand and said, "You hurt me."
Zhu Linan then let go of Xia Mingxuan's hand and looked at it carefully. Seeing that Xia Mingxuan's hand was very red, he hid his anger and rubbed his wrist carefully.
I rubbed it and blew on it at the same time, feeling so distressed.
On the second day, Zhu Linan, fearing that something unexpected might happen at any time, took the matchmaker to the Xia family to propose marriage.
He thought that even if the Xia family kicked him out, he had to settle this matter first to avoid being taken advantage of by others.
Therefore, Zhu Linan went to the house with a nervous heart. Before proposing marriage, Zhu Linan thought of various situations, but the only thing he did not expect was that Xia Mingyuan and Mrs. Xia actually liked him very much. Not only did they entertain him warmly, but they also did not despise his family background at all, and even more so, they despised the small size of his house.
And he happily finalized the matter on the spot. However, Xia Mingxu, who was stupid and slow to realize it, turned his head several times in surprise, looking here and there, and finally confirmed that Zhu Linan came here today to propose marriage, not to look for him.
He only found out today that Zhu Linan was interested in his sister.
Xia Mingxu instantly thought of all the clues from the past, and then he realized that he had been used.
Only then did he realize what was going on and slap himself, hating himself for being an idiot, but it was too late to do anything. His sister had already been abducted.
The marriage has been decided, and the next thing is much simpler. I just need to hurry up and prepare for the wedding.
After Xia Mingxuan and Zhu Linan got engaged, they would occasionally go out for a walk, and sometimes they would go to a teahouse to sit down and drink tea.
Zhu Linan had not yet tidied up the newly bought house, so he simply asked Xia Mingxuan to decorate it according to her preferences in advance.
So Xia Mingxuan had new work every day.
She simply tidied up the entire house according to her ideas, and the whole house suddenly looked brand new.
When Zhu Linan finished his shift and returned home that day, he almost thought he had gone to the wrong place.
His cold, deserted, and shabby little house had completely changed.
He looked at Xia Mingxuan who was still directing people to work, and couldn't help it anymore, so he hugged her from behind.
"What are you doing? There are people here, so many people watching."
Xia Mingxuan gently pushed Zhu Linan and said in a low voice.
Zhu Linan ignored the gazes of others and buried his head in Xia Mingxuan's shoulder. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and whispered, "It's great to have you."
Fortunately, he met her.
It made him truly feel at home.
Fortunately, she was really going to marry him.
The first time Zhu Linan met Xia Mingxuan was not at the Dali Temple, but at the dock.
At that time, Zhu Linan was chasing a criminal. Because of running and fighting for a long time, his whole body was covered in sweat, his clothes were tattered, his hair was messy, and there was dirt on his face. He looked like a poor beggar.
After she ran across an intersection, she saw that the criminal was finally caught.
During the fight, his arm was injured.
But he had no time to deal with it. Only after he subdued the prisoner and waited for his subordinates to arrive did he breathe a sigh of relief and hand the prisoner over to the two men.
At that time, Zhu Lian was covering his arm which was still bleeding, and turned around to see Xia Mingxuan getting off the boat.
That day she wore a red dress with layered hems, which was stunningly beautiful. She also wore a pair of embroidered shoes with a beautiful pearl embroidered on them.
When the foot stepped on the wooden bench to get off the boat, it felt like it was stepping on Zhu Linan's heart.
He looked at Xia Mingxuan getting off the boat for a long time without coming back to his senses, and after seeing him, Xia Mingxuan let out a small exclamation.
Then he called the servant beside him over and said a few words.
Soon, a servant came over with a bottle of medicine and a bundle of bandages, saying that he would help apply the medicine.
Zhu Linan glanced at Xia Mingxuan, shook his head and refused, then walked away covering his arm.
This scene was just a small episode in Xia Mingxuan's eyes, and just an insignificant fragment in Zhu Linan's life.
However, the scene of Xia Mingxuan getting off the boat kept appearing in Zhu Linan's dreams.
It was not until later when Zhu Linan met Xia Mingxuan again in the Dali Temple that he knew he was in trouble.
After Sang Yu and the Regent got married, Zhu Linan and Xia Mingxuan also got married.
The wedding was held in a grand manner. After all, the Xia and Zhu families were the new favorites of the dynasty, and countless people came to curry favor with them.
When they got married, Sang Yu and Yu Zhiheng went to watch the ceremony specially.
The couple lived happily after their marriage and had a son and a daughter. Originally, Xia Mingxuan wanted to have another child, but Zhu Linan was concerned about his wife's health and did not want her to have another child. Xia Mingxuan was very dissatisfied with this, but he could not persuade Zhu Linan, so the matter was finally resolved.
