In the small garden, the cunning boy hid behind a tree to eavesdrop, completely unaware of the two people in front of him.
“A-Su, I also have something to say to you,” Leng Qingning spoke first.
Now that it was just the two of them, Leng Qingning used a more affectionate way of addressing her.
The affection in Shen Su's eyes was almost overflowing. He said with a mixture of surprise and delight, "Why are you suddenly calling me that?"
I'm too embarrassed to go ahead with this.
"It's not sudden, wasn't that how we addressed each other last time?"
Leng Qingning smiled sweetly and explained to him, afraid that he would misunderstand her.
"There were many people around just now, and we're not married yet. For the sake of your reputation, we addressed you as 'Young Master' in public. Are you unhappy about that, Brother Su?"
"How could this be!"
Shen Su directly removed his veil, revealing his fair and handsome face.
Just as I remember her, she was aloof and stunningly beautiful.
His eyes were brimming with laughter, sparkling like stars.
"I'm so happy that you haven't forgotten me."
She disagreed, saying, "Of course I'll remember. You have so little faith in me?"
"No, I'm just afraid you'll forget..." Shen Su seized the opportunity to ask, "Then have you missed me?"
"Um……"
Leng Qingning pretended to hesitate, then looked up at him and asked, "And you? Did you miss me?"
Shen Su immediately replied, "Of course, I think about it every day."
Suddenly, he gazed at her tenderly and whispered affectionately, "I long for your return every day, from dawn till dusk, without missing a single moment."
My heart skipped a beat.
With a slight upturn of his lips, he said, "A-Su, I often think of you on the battlefield. I want to finish the war as soon as possible so I can come back and marry you. I will not forget what I promised you."
She took his hand and said, "Now that I'm back, I will fulfill our promise as soon as possible."
Shen Su grasped her hand in return, his heart filled with joy, and asked eagerly, "When?"
He looked like he was afraid the person would run away.
"Soon, at the latest after the New Year, okay?"
Shen Su pondered for a moment. It was already September, so they only needed to wait a little over three more months...
"Okay, I'll wait."
“You can’t go back on your word,” he said seriously.
Seeing his expression, Leng Qingning couldn't help but laugh and said, "Don't worry, Brother Su, I will never go back on my promise. I will arrange our wedding as soon as possible."
Take the opportunity to confess your feelings: "Besides, I love you and want to marry you as soon as possible."
Hearing this, Shen Su felt relieved and a sweet smile appeared on her face. "Yes, I'm looking forward to it."
"I'm looking forward to it too." Suddenly changing the subject, she asked, "Brother Su, does the Li Kingdom still support your marriage to me?"
Shen Su immediately understood the meaning behind her words. He said nonchalantly, "I'm already twenty-one. I'll be twenty-two after the New Year. My mother wouldn't want me to become an old man."
This statement provides an explanation, but it doesn't clarify the main point.
She could tell that Shen Su wanted to marry her very strongly, and she was sure she would marry him, but she didn't want to be so confused.
To avoid affecting the relationship later.
It's best to communicate in advance if you have anything to say.
"Brother Su, don't joke around. I'm serious. You must know that I'm going to conquer the six kingdoms. You're willing to marry me, aren't you worried that your mother, the Empress, won't agree?"
She said seriously, "I hope you can tell me your true thoughts. After all, if your mother empress is unwilling, the two countries may go to war, and then..."
"No, it won't happen," Shen Su said with certainty.
"I'm not joking. My mother is really worried about my marriage and often writes to urge me to get married. Besides, I've been in Yue Kingdom for several years now, and the whole world knows that I am your prospective concubine. How could she possibly object?"
He held her hand tightly and said, "Don't worry, my mother will not object to either the marriage or the political matter. When the day of peace talks comes, my mother will naturally submit to Dayue."
He said this without resentment or discouragement, but rather with unusual calmness.
Because he knew his mother very well; she always advocated peace and would never rashly confront a powerful country in order to consolidate her throne.
The Li Kingdom is relatively weak among the six kingdoms. Even Qi Huai was defeated. How can the Li Kingdom resist?
He was certain that the Empress would agree.
As for himself, he doesn't mind.
"And what about you? Do you resent me?" Leng Qingning asked worriedly.
Shen Su smiled and shook his head, saying calmly, "I don't resent you. The change of dynasties is nothing more than the survival of the fittest and the strong preying on the weak. If the Hidden World had not split, there would be no Li Kingdom. You are doing a great thing, reunifying the Hidden World, which is beneficial to the country and the people. Of course I will not resent you."
He highly approved of her: "I believe you are a wise ruler, capable of ruling the world."
Upon being affirmed by her lover, Leng Qingning was momentarily lost in thought.
They didn't know that unifying the seclusion of the world was equivalent to saving her life.
She never expected her husbands to be so understanding, supporting her completely and trusting her without any prior knowledge of the situation.
It would be a lie to say I wasn't moved.
"Thank you, Asu, thank you for understanding me," she said sincerely.
Shen Su smiled slightly, pulled her into his arms, and his face was filled with joy.
"We're getting married soon, so there's no need for thanks. It's too formal."
No further words were needed between the two...
Time stands still!
Behind the tree, Sang Yu frowned, indicating his confusion.
I've been listening for ages, but it seems like I haven't heard anything at all.
He barely heard any words of confession. To him, the sweet nothings between lovers were just a few "I miss you"s, nothing more. Isn't that something we hear all the time?
They even discussed politics for half a day...
The hug wasn't excessive; it's normal to hug someone who's getting married.
He even kissed his older sister.
