Chapter 483 The Palace Maid Wants to Retire (9)
But Wen Shichu was furious and taunted, "What does General Shi want to do by barging into my bedroom in the middle of the night? Do you want to change your career and become a flower thief instead of being a general?"
Shi Li paused and answered honestly: "I'm not a flower thief. I came to see my future daughter-in-law."
“……” God damn, my future daughter-in-law, Wen Shichu doubted for a moment if there was something wrong with her comprehension ability, otherwise why couldn’t she understand the meaning of Shi Li’s words?
"Who is your future wife?" Wen Shichu's face was unpredictable and she had no idea what expression she should make. This was the first time someone had left her speechless.
"You." Shi Li answered as a matter of course, and held Wen Shichu's hand and played with it.
Wen Shichu was so angry that she almost exploded. She took advantage of Shi Li's relaxed vigilance and immediately seized the opportunity to fight back, pinning Shi Li down and asking with gritted teeth, "When did I become your future wife?"
"The day before yesterday afternoon." Shi Li didn't care about Wen Shichu's counterattack. Instead, he thought she was very cute the way she was holding him, so he didn't bother to resist.
Wen Shichu: ...Are you a bandit? You snatch any woman you like and marry her right away?
Shi Li's behavior at this moment was no different from that of a bandit. If an ordinary lady had a man break into her bedroom and say that she was his future wife, she would definitely die of shame and anger. Even if she didn't die, she would lose her innocence and would probably end up living a secluded life.
Wen Shichu is certainly not an ordinary woman, but she cannot ignore the hateful nature of Shi Li's behavior. Shi Li's behavior will only cause the death of the woman he likes if she is an ordinary woman.
"Do you have a grudge against me? Do you want to kill me?" Wen Shichu said with a cold face.
Shi Li raised his eyes in confusion, not quite understanding why Wen Shichu said that.
He was not liked by others when he was a child and grew up almost wild. When he grew up a little, he went to the military camp again, so he never learned any moral rules and regulations, and he knew nothing about worldly etiquette. He only knew to snatch whatever he liked, and only when he got it back did it belong to him. He also believed this in matters between men and women. Of course, he was also misled by some of his subordinates, so he didn't think there was anything wrong with him running into a woman's boudoir in the middle of the night. To a certain extent, he did have the style of a bandit.
"I don't want to kill you. I just like you and want you to be my wife." Shi Li said again.
Wen Shichu said coldly, "You want me to be your wife, why don't you send someone to ask for marriage in an upright manner? Why do you have to break into my bedroom in the middle of the night? Aren't you just trying to ruin my reputation and innocence, so that I have no other choice but to marry you? Isn't this harming me and forcing me?"
Shi Li listened to the tone of her words and keenly felt that his behavior tonight seemed to be very bad to her, so he said with a guilty conscience: "I'm sorry, I didn't know this would hurt you."
"Don't know? Are you living in a vacuum? If I were an ordinary woman, I would have committed suicide by banging my head against the wall when you broke in!" Wen Shichu said hatefully. If it were Li Minghui and the other girls, and a strange man broke into their dormitory, they would really be too ashamed to live in this world.
Shi Li finally understood the seriousness of the matter. He was at a loss and panicked: "Then, then I will leave immediately? Don't commit suicide. I won't come. I will ask the matchmaker to propose to you tomorrow..."
"No! I won't agree to your proposal. You can't send a matchmaker. Besides, this is the Marquis of Wuyang's Mansion. I'm just a guest here. What's the point of you proposing to me like this?" Wen Shichu said unhappily.
"Then where should I go to propose marriage? Where is your home?" Shi Li asked persistently.
Wen Shichu: ...
For a moment, I didn't know whether to praise him for getting to the point, or scold him for being shameless.
"Shut up! No matter where my home is, you are not allowed to propose marriage!" Wen Shichu said angrily.
"Why?" Shi Li asked, "I like you and want to marry you as my wife. If I don't propose, you won't marry me."
His feelings are open and honest. If he sets his eyes on someone, he will take them back and won't wait even a moment.
"Because I have no feelings for you!" Wen Shichu laughed angrily, "You like me, so I have to marry you? That's a nice thought."
"Then what do you want in exchange for marrying me?" Shi Li asked like a humble and curious student.
"Of course I like you too." Wen Shichu blurted out.
"You don't like me? Why? I am very strong and healthy. I can eat a whole leg of lamb in one meal. No matter in the capital or southern Xinjiang, there are many women who want to throw themselves into my arms. I guess I am not bad looking. Why don't you like me?" Shi Li's azure eyes sparkled in the dim light, like the clear and bright starry sky in the universe, charming people's hearts.
Wen Shichu couldn't help but be dazzled by his eyes for a moment. She was a complete fan of looks and voices. There was no doubt that Shi Li, a man with foreign blood, was in every way in line with Wen Shichu's aesthetic standards. It was a pity that his way of pursuing her was not right, which made her almost lose interest.
Forget it. The lustful and obsessed Wen Shichu sighed in her heart, knowing that she was captured by this man. She lowered her head, rested her forehead on Shi Li's strong chest, and said, "You, man, are simply born to be my nemesis. I admit that I like you..."
When Shi Li heard this, he was so happy that he immediately grabbed her hands, his eyes shining like two brightest stars, blinding anyone: "You like me too? Then let's get married quickly!"
"This is too soon." Wen Shichu didn't expect him to be so impatient, so she broke free from his hand and said, "I can't marry you for the time being, because I'm still the foster aunt of the Marquis of Wuyang Mansion, and I can't have anything to do with you during this period - and you don't want to be suspected of having too close contact with the Marquis of Wuyang Mansion, right?"
She is now a foster aunt, so she cannot break the law knowingly, otherwise how can she have the face to teach others etiquette and rules? She has no right to intervene in the previous affairs of Li Minghui and Zhou Shaowen. After all, her current situation with Shi Li is more explosive than that of the two young people. Once someone finds out, it will be a disaster.
"Then you should quit this job. I can support you." Shi Li immediately suggested.
"No, I have to see it through to the end. I have already signed a contract to teach for a full six months. I cannot break the contract." Wen Shichu said.
Shi Li was anxious: "How long are you going to stay?"
"There's still a month left." Wen Shichu said, "I'll finish this job in a month. By then, if you want to continue to develop a relationship with me, there will be no other obstacles."
"More than a month, it's a very long time." Shi Li looked like a wilted eggplant, completely listless. This month seemed as long as a century to him.
