C54 (1/2)

”Name?” ”What's your name?” Mu Yizi opened her eyes wide, pretending to be in a daze as she asked, her eyes constantly floating around the room, not looking at him.

It wasn't that she didn't understand Shen Bai's meaning, but in her heart, she felt that the matter between the two of them had progressed too quickly. Wasn't it a little too early for them to start discussing matters of status?

Shen Bai gently pinched her chin, turning her face to look directly into his eyes.

”Do you want to eat it dry and then not admit it?” Shen Bai's tone was laced with a hint of complaint. He never thought that both of them would be like this. She was actually evasive in this matter.

Mu Yizi looked at him but did not say a word, staring intently at him.

”Why aren't you talking?” Shen Bai raised his brows. He had thought that she was thinking of some excuse to reject him.

However, Mu Yizi chuckled, ”I'm busy watching you!”

This girl really couldn't do anything to her!

Shen Bai bitterly smiled and hugged her even tighter, as if he was afraid that she would run away.

”Shen Bai, do you really want to stay by my side?” Mu Yizi leaned against his shoulder, her hand holding onto his hand as she fiddled with it.

He let her play with his lush fingers. Sometimes he would carefully stroke his fingertips, and sometimes he would gently stroke his palms. It made his palms itch.

”It's already like this, where else can I run to?”

Mu Yurou raised her head and said with a serious expression on her face, ”As a man, even if you want to leave, you can leave as soon as you want. However, I have to consider my own reputation. Although Jin Li's national style is open to the public, if news of a woman's absence were to spread before she marries, it would definitely not be pleasant. ”

Shen Bai did not answer, but quietly waited for her to continue.

”That's why I didn't try to use this matter to tie you to me. You can go find another girl! I'm not worried! ”No matter what, I am still a general of a country. I won't have to worry about no one marrying me in the future.”

”When I was young, my father took me up the Qingtong Mountains. I've never seen my mother like this. I always felt that my father must have abandoned my mother. Otherwise, how could a girl like my mother be willing to abandon her husband and children? ”

”So I never expected you to stay by my side. If one day you fall in love with another girl, just let me know. I'll let you go. ”

As she said that, Mu Yizi's eyes started to tear up. Tears streamed down his face, and his eyes were as red as a rabbit's.

Shen Bai kissed her cheeks little by little to dry the tears, and finally gently kissed her on the lips.

”I only want you for the rest of my life.”

He had never been so serious before, it was as though he was making an oath.

Mu Yurou's heart was moved as she sniffed, ”Shen Bai, can you not tell anyone else about our matter?”

”Alright.”

After listening to her speak so much, Shen Bai knew that she had been feeling insecure all this time. He wasn't in a hurry to tell her too much about the alliance and sea. His sincerity would show through his actions, so he didn't need to use words to describe this.

She didn't want others to know, so he kept quiet about it. He believed that one day, she would agree to marry him. The person he decided on could only be him.
