Chapter 406 The Woman Proposes Marriage
Magpies flew past the window, their clear calls echoing through the air.
A gentle breeze rustled through the newly sprouted buds, which seemed to nod in approval as if cheering for the perfect couple inside the house.
After an unknown amount of time, both of them were panting, and Yun Yichen slowly released Gu Shuyan.
Because of the passionate kiss just now, Gu Shuyan's lips were slightly swollen and red, but this only made her even more beautiful.
"You said you had something to do. What is it?"
Yun Yichen stepped forward, looked Gu Shuyan up and down, and then slowly asked.
After his reminder, Gu Shuyan remembered the purpose of her visit. Yun Yichen's sudden action had made her a little dizzy. Now that she had come to her senses, she quickly said, "Actually, I came to talk to you about proposing marriage."
"Proposing marriage?"
Yun Yichen found the name Gu Shuyan quite novel. The two of them were already legally engaged, so why were they talking about marriage proposals again?
Could it be that this little girl felt his proposal that day was too hasty, and therefore wanted him to propose again? Yun Yichen didn't see anything wrong with it; after all, she was his wife, and if he wanted to, he could propose again—what was wrong with that?
"As for the marriage proposal, you know that ever since Xu Feng was injured, that silly girl in my courtyard has been running to your mansion every day, and she's almost forgotten about me, her mistress. So I thought I'd ask Xu Feng what he thinks and propose to you, to see if you can help them get together."
Although Xu Feng is now by his side, Yun Yichen is still his former master. Marriage is a major life event, decided by parents and matchmakers. Xu Feng has been an orphan since childhood, so this marriage matter naturally has to be decided by his former master, Yun Yichen.
"Shushu, you really have impressed me."
Yun Yichen never expected that Gu Shuyan, a woman, would do something like proposing marriage to a man. Surprised, he couldn't help but affectionately pinch her nose.
Gu Shuyan was naturally aware of how shocking her words were, but she didn't care about such things. Compared to losing the one she liked, this was nothing.
"Alright, stop dawdling. Mingyu is still waiting for news at the manor!"
Looking at Yun Yichen's gaze, which seemed to want to see right through her, Gu Shuyan reached out and pushed up half of his mask, speaking somewhat impatiently.
"Zhong Lin, go and call Xu Feng here."
Yun Yichen's gaze remained fixed on Gu Shuyan, and he only made a casual remark before Zhong Lin, who was guarding outside the door, left.
"Shushu, I want to do it again."
Yun Yichen's eyes held an unusual longing, and before Gu Shuyan could react, his thin lips pressed against hers once more.
This time, Yun Yichen's kiss was much more passionate than the last, but it wasn't particularly barbaric.
Gu Shuyan felt suffocated again before she hurriedly pushed Yun Yichen away, saying, "Xu Feng and the others have changed it back."
As soon as you speak of the devil, he appears. Gu Shuyan had just taken a step back and straightened her clothes when Zhong Lin and Xu Feng knocked on the door.
"Come in."
Yun Yichen looked at Gu Shuyan, whose face was flushed, with amusement, took her hand in his, and then faced the direction from which the two had come in.
"Master, you wanted to see me?"
After learning that Gu Shuyan knew everything, Xu Feng stopped hiding it and directly addressed Yun Yichen as "Master".
"It's not me looking for you, it's Shushu looking for you. She wants to discuss something with you."
Yun Yichen's words successfully made Xu Feng turn around.
"Miss, is there anything you need Xu Feng to do?"
Gu Shuyan thought that Yun Yichen would reveal his purpose based on his posture, but she didn't expect Yun Yichen to pass the buck back to her.
After glaring at Yun Yichen, Gu Shuyan could only say, "Actually, it's nothing. I just wanted to ask what you think of Mingyu?"
"Mingyu? Mingyu is fine!" Xu Feng was puzzled as to why Gu Shuyan would suddenly ask whether Mingyu was fine or not.
Looking at Xu Feng's clueless appearance, Gu Shuyan was very glad that she had thought of this in advance. Otherwise, if she wanted Xu Feng to take the initiative, Mingyu would have to wait until she was very old.
"So, do you dislike Mingyu?"
Gu Shuyan asked Xu Feng directly whether he disliked her or not, rather than whether he liked her or not. After all, it might be difficult for him to say he liked her in front of Yun Yichen. So it was more straightforward to just ask if he disliked her.
"I don't dislike it!"
Just as Gu Shuyan had expected, Xu Feng answered that he didn't dislike it.
"Miss, if you have something to say, please speak plainly. What exactly happened to Mingyu?"
Xu Feng felt that his master and young lady couldn't possibly be calling him here just to ask these trivial questions, so he simply asked them directly.
"Actually, it's like this. You know that Mingyu has been taking care of you all this time, and you're not young anymore. So today I'm here on Mingyu's behalf to ask you if you like her. If you don't, I'll take this opportunity to propose marriage to you."
Gu Shuyan and Yun Yichen looked at each other, but since Yun Yichen showed no intention of speaking, Gu Shuyan had no choice but to speak herself.
In fact, Gu Shuyan was somewhat incoherent as she spoke. Although she was the one who proposed marriage, she was still a little embarrassed when it came to actually saying it.
Gu Shuyan's words were clearly unexpected. Not only did Xu Feng not react, but even Zhong Lin, who had grown up, seemed to have just heard something.
"No, Miss, do you mean you're here to propose marriage to him on Mingyu's behalf?"
Zhong Lin pointed at Xu Feng, somewhat unable to believe his ears. Over the years, how could he not know Xu Feng's personality?
Gu Shuyan actually came to propose marriage to him? He must have saved the world in his past life! Otherwise, how could such an earth-shattering thing happen to a mere guard like him?
Gu Shuyan nodded to Zhong Lin, and Xu Feng belatedly asked Gu Shuyan, "Miss, do you mean that Mingyu... likes me?"
Xu Feng's reaction was a bit too long; even though he was usually a serious person, he showed unusual expressions on his face.
"Otherwise, why do you think she's taken such good care of you all this time?"
Gu Shuyan rolled her eyes at Xu Feng, who had also suspected this. However, every time Mingyu arrived, she would say that the young lady had told him to do this or that, so he always thought that Mingyu was taking such good care of him because it was all at Gu Shuyan's behest.
Of course, Gu Shuyan had already explained this, but Gu Shuyan could have sent Pearl. Why was it always Pearl? Wasn't it because Mingyu was thinking about him?
"Heh, heh heh!"
Xu Feng revealed a somewhat awkward smile, which startled Gu Shuyan, who had never seen him smile before. It was Yun Yichen who reacted first.
