Si Luo was stunned when she suddenly confessed her love to him.
But he quickly came to his senses and firmly rejected her, saying, "I'm sorry, I don't like you."
After he finished speaking, he clearly saw the dejection on the girl's face.
But she was clearly not defeated by his words and quickly rallied her spirits, saying, "It's okay, I'll try my best to make you like me."
Indeed, as she herself said, she did not give up easily.
Later, after he returned to the capital, she often followed him around.
Even Si Lan didn't know what was going on, but she was creating all sorts of opportunities for her.
For a time, Su Qianqian's shadow was everywhere in his life.
This continued for several months. Later, when the Northern Di invaded, he volunteered to go to the border with Wen Tingyun to meet the enemy.
He thought she would give up.
But in the years that followed, through his correspondence with Si Lan, he learned that she had actually entered the palace as a lady-in-waiting, and that she was still all alone after several years.
Si Lan's words subtly reminded him that Su Qianqian was still unmarried because of him, and she complained that he had wasted a young woman's prime years.
He often felt guilty and uneasy about this.
So as soon as he returned to the capital today, he went to find her first.
I originally intended to apologize to her and explain that I had no plans to get married.
But unexpectedly, Su Qianqian would make such a request.
He frowned, carefully choosing his words, "I..."
Su Qianqian interrupted him, "Don't tell me you already have someone you like. It's been so many years. If you did, you would have been married by now. But since you haven't married yet, can't you consider me?"
Five years ago, he rejected her, using the excuse that he already had someone he liked.
She was very frustrated at one point, but not long after, when the Northern Di invaded, he volunteered to go to war with Wen Tingyun.
To avoid her family's pressure to get married, she had no choice but to ask Wen Nongnong for a job as a female official in the palace.
Seeing her earnest and stubborn expression, Si Luo was in a difficult position.
Even when faced with the formidable Beidi, he was not troubled.
He hesitated for a moment when he thought about refusing, because the shocking accusations in the letter Si Lan sent him made him hesitate.
Five years is neither a long nor a short time, but it is the best years of a girl's life.
It seems he really did hold people back.
Seeing him frown and look troubled, Su Qianqian's gaze dimmed.
In the end, it was all wishful thinking on her part.
If the other person didn't like her five years ago, why does she think that he will like her five years later?
She sighed softly, released his hand, and said in a seemingly nonchalant tone, "I'm sorry for putting you in such a difficult position. Let's leave it at that. I won't bother you anymore, and you don't need to run to the border to avoid me."
Seeing the woman's eyes dim, Si Luo frowned. "I went to the border, not because of you..."
"No need to explain, I understand." Su Qianqian interrupted him, then bent down and picked up Gu Yaoyao.
Seeing the woman turn to leave, Si Luo suddenly called out to her, "Su Qianqian."
Su Qianqian just wanted to escape from where he was as soon as possible, so that she wouldn't be so embarrassed.
Being rejected repeatedly by the same person will make even the most thick-skinned person feel embarrassed.
She desperately wanted to preserve the last shred of dignity for herself.
But upon hearing his call, she involuntarily stopped in her tracks.
She maintained her composure, striving to appear mature and composed, and asked in a calm voice, "What instructions does General Si have?"
Her tone was distant and unfamiliar, as if she wasn't the one who had just held the man's hand and asked him to marry her.
Perhaps it was because of the stark difference in her attitude before and after that Si Luo paused for a moment before she could adjust.
"Marrying me will be tough, not as good as you imagine, if you don't mind..."
"I don't mind!" Su Qianqian suddenly turned around and said loudly.
Si Luo paused for a moment, then lowered his head and chuckled softly, nodding, "Then I will choose a day to go to the Su residence and propose marriage to your parents."
Su Qianqian belatedly realized what had happened, and her face flushed red as she became very annoyed with herself.
What is she doing? Acting so desperate to get married.
but--
Did she hear that right?
Si Luo said he was going to her house to propose marriage...
She was afraid she was hallucinating, so she opened her eyes wide and said uncertainly, "W-what did you just say?"
"Aunt Su, Uncle Si said he's going to the Su family to propose marriage; he wants to marry you."
Just then, the little dumpling, who had been quiet all along, suddenly spoke in a soft and sweet voice.
Su Qianqian blinked, stared at her for a moment, and finally believed that she hadn't misheard.
Si Luo said he wanted to marry her.
She felt both joy and sorrow.
Various thoughts lingered in my mind.
Suddenly, she burst into tears.
She didn't want to cry, after all, she had a child in her arms.
But she just couldn't control herself.
"Oh, Aunt Su is crying tears of joy." Gu Yaoyao took out a handkerchief from her bosom and waved to Si Luo, "Uncle Si, come quickly."
Si Luo was startled by Su Qianqian's alternating crying and laughing.
He had met many women, but he had never met one as simple as her. What she was thinking was written all over her face; she never knew how to hide it.
Si Luo sighed and walked over as instructed.
Gu Yaoyao stuffed the handkerchief in her hand into his hand, indicating that he should wipe Su Qianqian's tears.
Si Luo was stunned when she saw the small handkerchief being stuffed into her hand, and then she met the child's beautiful and cunning eyes.
