Wenxiu and Suping followed behind Wei An. They followed her gaze and saw Shen Chen standing downstairs. They couldn't help but look at each other and smile.
Although they were both quiet, they understood each other very well in their hearts.
Wei An came a long way to save Shen Chen, but it doesn't make sense to say that he doesn't have Shen Chen in his heart.
And Shen Chen... he also respects Wei An enough. His love for her is not superficial. It is not because of Wei An's identity, but because he likes Wei An as a person. Moreover, he knows her very well. Wei An does not even need to say many things, Shen Chen understands them.
Although Su Ping is still young, she knows that if two people want to live together, it is best if they love each other.
Even as an outsider, she thought Shen Chen was very good.
Shen Chen had already come upstairs, turned the corner and came to Wei An. He stared at Wei An with his beautiful eyes and said softly, "Thank you for your hard work."
Wei An still had his hands on the railing. He couldn't help laughing when he heard his words: "Why did I have to work so hard? I just went through the motions and attracted Luo Yuan's attention. I didn't do anything else."
They didn't even exchange letters, but they both knew the meaning of every move made by the other.
The pleasure of meeting a worthy opponent and having perfect understanding of each other really makes people feel good.
The swaying of the lamp made Wei An's face look softer than usual. Shen Chen couldn't help but reach out to brush away the petals that had fallen on her shoulders. Seeing that Wei An didn't move away, his eyes were filled with more smiles: "Of course I have to thank you. For me, you coming here is something I really have to thank you for."
When he said this, his voice was gentle and cool, like an ice cellar in summer or a warm stove in winter, soothing and appropriate, and full of infinite affection. Wei An could hear it.
When a man really likes you, the girl can feel it.
Her ears felt slightly hot, she lowered her head, let go of her hand, and turned into the room.
This time they were able to live in the courtyard. The emerald green bamboos stretched out their branches from outside, swaying in the breeze. Shen Chen followed them in and sat down opposite Wei An. After thinking for a while, he said to Wei An, "I know you are scared, but there are some things I still want to tell you right now."
Wenxiu and Suping looked at each other, smiled at the same time, turned around and closed the door, and did not forget to stand guard at the door to prevent anyone from disturbing them.
When Wei An looked up at him, he was so burned by the light in his eyes that he turned his head away: "What do you want to say?"
She knew that her question was a bit redundant. In fact, she vaguely knew what Shen Chen was going to say.
But she couldn't explain how she felt right now. The feeling of wanting to know but being afraid to know was really hard to describe.
The postmaster decorated the villa in a particularly elegant manner. There were fresh gardenias on the table, which were white in color and fragrant. However, she felt a little breathless, frowning and uneasy.
Shen Chen himself has no experience.
Because of his parents' love, he has always known that if you truly like someone, you should marry them and treat them well.
But his father also told him that his own feelings are important, but the opinions of girls should also be fully respected. He looked at Wei An patiently, thought for a while, then looked directly into Wei An's eyes and said word by word: "When I was about to die, do you know what I was thinking?"
Wei An shook his head quietly.
Shen Chen did not pause and continued: "At that time, I was thinking that if I died, it would be too uneconomical, because I haven't told you in person that I want to marry you."
He was very serious and took a deep breath. He felt that he was nervous but surprisingly calm. He stared at Wei An and said, "I haven't rescued the child for the old lady yet, and I haven't asked you for your feelings yet. It would be a pity if I died. So I tried very hard to survive."
He did not mention the hardships involved.
But Wei An is imaginable.
Luo Yuan is cruel and ruthless. He has colluded with local officials to cover up everything. Shen Chen has to face Luo Yuan's backlash and deal with Concubine Yu's people. It can be said that every step is thrilling.
That's why she came without any hesitation.
She held the cup in both hands and listened quietly.
Shen Chen said, "I thought it through at that time. If I survive, there is one thing I must do. That is, I want to tell you that I will not like anyone else and I want to grow old with you."
Wei An straightened his back. He seemed to have heard Shen Chen’s words, but also seemed to have heard nothing at all.
She had never experienced a truly consensual relationship, and she didn't know how to deal with it. She just felt instinctively panicked, and even swallowing seemed to become difficult for her.
After a moment, which seemed like a long time, she spoke with some difficulty: "I... ..I can't answer you right away."
Shen Chen understood very well and smiled without any surprise: "I just told you my feelings, I didn't mean to ask you to make any choice."
"That's not what I meant." Wei An's long eyelashes drooped down to cover his beautiful eyes. Although his voice was soft, it was particularly firm as he said, "I mean, I can't decide on my own about marriage. You should go find my father and grandmother."
It is difficult to hide whether a person likes another person or not.
When there was no news from Shen Chen, she realized that she probably liked Shen Chen.
I was worried knowing he was in danger, and my heart seemed to skip a beat.
And seeing that he was finally out of danger, I felt relieved.
When she saw him standing under the flower tree, she didn't know why, but she felt her body and mind suddenly calm down, as if someone who had been wandering for a long time had finally found his home, and the feeling of security and recovery all surged into her heart.
At that moment she made up her mind. No matter whether this relationship could last or even last until the end, she had to give it a try.
Even if it is a dead end, she will walk it alone, otherwise she will not give up.
Peng Caichen is a scumbag. She can't block her own way just because of a scumbag. He is a stepping stone for her to move forward and will never be a hindrance.
Shen Chen didn't react for a moment. It was only until Wei An had finished speaking for a long time and was about to stand up that he suddenly realized what Wei An meant.
Did she agree
Did she just tell him to ask Prince Zheng and Old Lady Wei to propose marriage?!
He also froze in place, looking at Wei An with pursed lips in disbelief, and after a moment he suddenly laughed out loud.
He thought he would have to wait a long time. Wei An was so defensive that she would shrink back if someone approached her. But he was prepared and had the patience to wait.
This was truly an unexpected surprise. All the exhaustion from these days of running around and scheming disappeared in an instant, leaving only pure happiness.
He spoke seriously and sincerely to Wei An who had already stood up, as if he was telling her, or as if he was talking to himself, in a calm but solemn tone: "I will do my best to accompany you on the road ahead."
No matter whether there is a deep abyss or a flat road ahead, as long as he is still there, he will try his best to hold Wei An's hand and not let her get hurt.
He would never let himself and Wei An go through the same path his parents had taken again.
