Chapter 174: Chapter 115 I Want You to Be My Wife_3

Facing the man’s sudden proposal and confession of love, Xia He was completely at a loss. Her pretty face flushed with heat, and her hands didn’t know where to go, sometimes pinching her skirt, sometimes placed behind her back.

She, who usually served as a mere tool for killing by the lady’s side, had never experienced such a situation; perhaps only the experienced eldest sister could handle it.

Eldest sister, come teach me what to do.

The girl cried out in her heart.

Feeling her throat dry, the girl swallowed several times and stuttered, "You... aren’t you the Ran Family’s son-in-law?"

Jiang Shouzhong smiled and shook his head, "Yes, but also no, there are some situations that I can’t explain to you for now. However, one thing I can assure you, Qingchen won’t mind.

Because she has confessed to me before, she will not be my wife, she has higher pursuits, and I fully support her. After all, I am indeed somewhat unworthy of her. You might not believe it if I say it, but she is probably the one who most hopes I can find a good match."

If you don’t believe me, we can go talk to her now, and you’ll see that her heart is actually very broad, and she won’t trouble us because of this."

Jiang Shouzhong paused for a moment, then spoke the words he had kept in his heart, "Miss Xia He, I also don’t wish to deceive you. The truth is, deep down, I have loved a woman, and more than one at that. Although I always referred to her as my sister, I have regarded her as my wife, but she has passed away. As for the other..."

The man stopped there, but Xia He could clearly feel the sorrow in his eyes.

Perhaps feeling that it was inappropriate to talk about such matters at the moment, Jiang Shouzhong smiled carefree, casting away the negative emotions, and sincerely said to the girl, "But I promise you, as long as I am your husband, I will be good to you wholeheartedly, I will try hard to love you, and not let you suffer any grievance."

"You... Do you like me?"

Xia He stared at the man before her, whispering softly, asking Dao.

Jiang Shouzhong knew he shouldn’t hesitate at this time, but he still remained silent for a while before admitting, "To say love, that would definitely be false. But if it’s liking, I indeed like you somewhat. Of course, it’s also largely because you’re beautiful. If you were ugly, I probably wouldn’t propose."

Xia He was amused by his honesty, and her previous tension also dissipated quite a bit.

Being praised as beautiful would make any girl happy.

She let a few strands of hair behind her ear fall, covering up some of her shyness, and in a low voice, she said, "But I... I don’t know how to be a wife... I’ve never done it before."

"That’s all right."

Jiang Shouzhong gently embraced the girl’s slender waist, speaking softly, "I’m not so traditional as to insist on you doing laundry, cooking, housework or anything like that—you just need to be happy. Xia He, would you like to be my wife?"

The girl bit her lip lightly, smelling the scent on the man, and her small head began to feel dizzy again.

Just as she was about to speak, a sudden pain wrenched at her heart.

Xia He froze.

She suddenly pushed the man away.

Jiang Shouzhong was perplexed by this sudden turn of events, watching her with a puzzled look, "What’s wrong?"

Xia He did not answer and dashed out of the room.

In a panic, she reached the street, searching for something, the dense night silent and empty, without a trace of anyone.

The girl stood forlornly on the street, lost in a daze.

Her hair, wafting lightly like her heart at that moment, each strand floating, drifting aimlessly.

Xia He returned forlornly to the little house, facing the very good, very nice man, and suddenly felt a sourness in her eyes. She turned away, afraid to see the disappointment in his face, and cautiously said, "Jiang Mo, I... can I refuse?"

As she said this, Xia He covered her heart again.

It still hurt a bit.

But she wasn’t sure if it was her own pain, or the pain of the third sister.

Jiang Shouzhong was taken aback for a moment. Although disappointed, he felt slightly relieved and smiled, "It’s okay, you can make any choice, and I will try hard to find a way to keep you alive."

"Mm."

Xia He responded and moved her lips to say something, but only a silent murmur escaped.

...

Deep in the night, the two began to sleep.

Jiang Shouzhong slept on the bed, while Xia He still hung her light body with a rope.

Moonlight spilled through the carved wooden window, casting mottled shadows inside the room—peaceful and tender.

Outside was the sound of the night breeze whispering through the treetops.

The girl gazed silently at the window, looking bright as the moon, and was completely sleepless.

"Jiang Mo..."

Unconsciously, the girl called out.

The man on the bed opened his eyes, looking at the solitary and delicately hanging figure, "What is it?"

The girl shook her head, "Nothing."

After a while, Xia He called out again, "Jiang Mo..."

"Hmm?"

"It’s nothing."

Xia He closed her eyes and began to drift off to sleep.

After some time, she opened her eyes, turning to gaze quietly at the man on the bed, lost in thought.

Her hair gently slipped down with the motion, just as the girl’s thoughts did.

"Jiang Mo..."

Xia He couldn’t help but softly call out again.

This time, the man did not respond, his even breathing indicating he had fallen into sleep.

The girl’s fingertips unconsciously fiddled with a strand of hair.

After a long time, with the trepidation and insecurity of a little girl making a mistake, along with a bit of hope, she timidly asked, "Can I change my mind later?"

The man slept on.

The room was as quiet as the girl’s serene face.

Xia He sighed softly, turned away, her thoughts restless like the fleeting clouds in the night sky, unable to find peace.

"Yes."

The man replied softly.

The girl’s smile slowly spread at the corners of her lips, blooming little by little, like melting snow, mirroring the tender peonies opening under the warm spring sunlight, radiantly enchanting and splendidly beautiful.
