"Ah Jiao, can I ask you something?"
After Guan Chengheng finished eating, he sat down opposite He Jiao, resting his chin on his hands.
His eyes held a sparkle that made him look exceptionally bright and adorable.
He Jiao raised her head, a spoon still in her mouth, with a mouthful of tofu pudding just inside.
"So, will you marry me?"
"Pfft~"
He Jiao was so shocked that she spat out a mouthful of tofu pudding that she had just put in her mouth directly onto Guan Chengheng's face and even his clothes!
"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean it, young lord, well, I just..."
Excited, He Jiao picked up a dry towel from the side, the one she used to wipe her sweat, and used it to wipe Guan Chengheng's face.
She kept apologizing, saying she didn't mean it! She...
"Young Master, are you alright?"
Guan Chengheng didn't want to talk at that moment. What a beautiful moment!
Why would someone be so picky?
Isn't this embarrassing?
It seems that the beauty has no feelings for him!
Alas! I offered my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon shone on the gutter. It seems I was just being delusional.
Guan Chengheng took the towel He Jiao was wiping with, casually wiped himself down, and then got up and left.
"Miss He, please wait. I have official business to attend to, so I will not linger."
He Jiao hadn't realized what was happening yet, and thought he was in a hurry to go back to patrol, so she let him go.
She herself was extremely shocked.
What's going on? The young marquis actually likes her? She thought she was the only one who had seen him!
He Jiao shyly pinched the dry towel and twisted it a little, but she couldn't stop smiling.
Qiu Wen walked in from outside and saw her young mistress.
She looked shy in the courtyard, and then glanced at the food box on the stone table.
"Miss, where did you get this food from?"
He Jiao snapped out of her daze, looked at Qiu Wen, and said, "Qiu Wen, I'm so happy!"
Qiuwen wondered what was wrong with her young mistress, why she was so happy.
Isn't this how I usually get up early to exercise? Is there anything different today? Oh! The difference is that I'm having breakfast now.
"Miss, you haven't told me where this breakfast came from. Aren't you going to the dining room for breakfast later?" Qiuwen asked.
He Jiao then remembered that Guan Chengheng seemed to have misunderstood something.
Oh dear! How annoying! Why was she so unreserved? I should have kept my composure!
Wouldn't the young marquis think that he had rejected him?
After He Jiao figured it out, she felt that she didn't need that so-called reserve anymore. What's the point of reserve compared to a sweet romance!
She tossed the dry towel in her hand directly to Qiu Wen, who was standing to the side, and then, lifting her skirt, rushed off in a flurry.
He rushed towards the gate of the He residence and began to run wildly.
They headed towards the Duke's mansion, but Guan Chengheng didn't return there at all.
Instead, they went directly to the military camp after leaving the He residence.
He knew he wouldn't have time to go back and change, so he came to the military camp as soon as he left the He residence.
When the young general saw his general, he was surprised to find him dressed so elegantly and extravagantly today. He looked nothing like someone who usually worked in the military; he looked every bit the noble young master!
"Oh, General, what brings you here today?"
The young officer approached and discovered that Guan Chengheng's face was incredibly sour, the kind of sour that could be described as extremely sour.
Guan Chengheng: "Isn't anyone doing anything? What are you all doing gathered here?"
"Form ranks! What time is it? Why aren't you in formation? Wait for me!" Guan Chengheng roared impatiently.
Upon hearing this, the soldiers exclaimed, "Good heavens! Something's wrong with the young marquis today!" Ever since the young marquis took office...
This has never happened before. We've always been laughing and joking with them, but now they've suddenly launched a fierce attack.
The young general watched as Guan Chengheng stormed off to his own tent.
Pulling Xuan Cheng aside, he asked, "Brother, what's going on? What's wrong with the general today?"
"Yeah, it's like swallowing dozens of kilograms of explosives!"
Xuan Cheng was helpless! He shrugged and shook his head, "Sigh, it's a long story!"
"My lord, perhaps your love life is going badly. You all need to be careful these next few days."
Just as Xuan Cheng was about to say something, Guan Chengheng's voice rang out, "Xuan Cheng, hurry up and come help me change my clothes!"
Xuan Cheng shook his head and quickly ran towards the camp.
Having failed to find anyone at the Duke's mansion, He Jiao quickly headed towards the military camp next to Xuanwu Gate.
Because that was the military camp where Guan Chengheng was patrolling, she was allowed to go to the gate.
Qiu Wen and Qiu Tong followed behind, along with two servants.
They were panting heavily as they ran; no one knew their young lady...
What's wrong with him? Running around the capital city so early in the morning.
The paparazzi from the Beijing Daily spotted the He family's daughter running wildly down the street and instantly felt they had some juicy gossip to look forward to.
One by one, carrying sketchbooks and charcoal pencils, they began a frantic chase.
Originally, it was five people chasing each other in the street, but later everyone saw something unusual and followed along.
When they arrived at the military camp next to Xuanwu Gate, a group of people were already following behind them.
There were about twenty or thirty of them, all of them either there to watch the excitement or they were paparazzi from the Beijing Daily.
"Halt! Outsiders are not allowed in the military camp!" shouted the two soldiers guarding the gate.
They held the guns together, forming a large "X", leaving He Jiao with no choice but to stop at the doorway.
"I'm looking for Lord Guan, could you please inform him?" He Jiao fumbled around, only to find that she wasn't wearing anything, and could only look at the soldiers awkwardly.
The soldier glanced at He Jiao and asked indifferently, "What do you want with the young marquis?"
“Tell him that I am He Jiao and that I need to speak with him.”
The soldiers recognized her immediately; after all, anyone who had accompanied the Marquis on patrol knew about his affairs.
"Hold on."
One soldier went inside, and a short while later Guan Chengheng came out with his patrol team.
He wasn't there to see her; he was on patrol and needed to leave through this door.
"Young Marquis, I'm here, I'm here."
He Jiao's voice was quite loud, and everyone quieted down, looking in the direction of the military camp entrance.
Guan Chengheng wasn't deaf, so he naturally heard it and walked over, somewhat confused.
She had no expression; the smile that used to appear when she looked at He Jiao was completely gone.
His tone was also indifferent, "Miss He, is there anything I can help you with?"
He Jiao looked at Guan Chengheng, who was dressed in black armor. He was handsome and masculine, yet mature and composed.
He was the man she was looking for. She took a deep breath.
She said slowly, "I'm willing, I'm willing, a hundred thousand times willing, a million times willing. I was just too excited this morning, that's why..."
Guan Chengheng was dumbfounded, the onlookers were dumbfounded, and the paparazzi were shocked.
Why would they be willing? Everyone wants to know!
Guan Chengheng asked blankly, "Really? You're not lying to me?"
"I'm not lying to you, I'm willing. So, are you still willing to marry me?"
Guan Chengheng nodded heavily, "I'm willing, I'm willing."
Hey everyone!
"Ah! What did they hear? Is it something they can hear?"
"Young Master Guan has actually fallen in love with the daughter of Grand Herald He! Is this a prelude to marriage?!"
"My goodness, this is a huge scandal in Beijing!"
Is the Duke's mansion about to have two pieces of good news?
"I heard that the young Duke is also getting engaged recently. He's really making a big splash when he finally does!"
The onlookers chatted amongst themselves, each offering their own comment, concluding that Guan Chengheng had indeed won the heart of his beauty.
He suddenly didn't even want to patrol the streets anymore; he wanted to go home to find his grandmother and propose marriage...
While the capital city was filled with cheers, a heartbreaking scene was unfolding in Medicine King Valley.
Guiling Valley.
"Valley Master, please stop drinking! It's been like this for days!"
"You've been drinking all along!"
Shang Zhuo was speechless. He really wanted to smash his young master to death with a stick, but he didn't dare. He didn't have the guts.
"Let me go! I'm telling you, Shang Zhuo, don't think I won't hit you!"
"I'll tell you, waaaaaah..."
Why wasn't it me?
“I’ve been raising her since she came into this world, taking care of her every need. Why isn’t it me who’s doing all that work?”
"Waaaaah, Shang Zhuo, my heart is breaking!"
Shang Zhuo: Can I roll my eyes?
“Young master, matters of the heart cannot be forced. Someone as outstanding as you must have other good girls waiting for you to choose from.”
Hearing this, Lan Shanqi cried even harder, "Waaah, don't worry about me, let me drink, just go away, just go away!"
Helpless, Shang Zhuo had no choice but to leave the room.
