50 The fruit of patience is always sweet. (1/2)

Zhen Xiu slipped in her explanation but quickly covered her mistake. She places her hand on his heart and felt his beating heart.

”Lu Jian, see I am feeling your heart. This tells me something about you that I am sure of and can confidently say that you are a good man. If you were really a bad man then you wouldn't have felt horrible after you learned about your mother's misdeeds. You want to repent and this is what that matters the most.”

Lu Jian felt warmth surging in his heart from her hand. He could feel complete peace and love surging in his heart. It was something great. He was craving for this feeling in his entire life and finally, he got it. He can feel this now.

Zhen Xiu can see the change in his eyes and be glad that she could put some sense in his mind.

She didn't know about deep feelings nor was she knowledgeable in handling people while they were in their sorry state. She was a girl who was all too familiar with all these negative emotions and can somewhat feel Lu Jian's inner mind and heart.

”I told you that I will give you a chance and I plan to stand by my decision. This is not going to change.” Zhen Xiu expressed her thoughts plainly. She was worried that if she would again speak some riddled words; this man before her would surely die of grievances.

This was hard to please one's consort.

She could feel the pain of those kings who have to face three thousand beauties in their harem. It was difficult for her to control a single man. Life is hard. She needs to practice her flowering skills.

Zhen Xiu was in her thoughts when Lu Jian embraced her hard. His cold air was slowly warming and tickling her heart. She feels weird after this intimate contact. They were just embracing each other but she can feel something different in his arms. This feeling was nice. She actually liked it.

”What? Now you are suddenly in a great mood. You really have weird taste.”

Zhen Xiu teased and Lu Jian hugged her even more tightly, he wanted to assure himself that she was here and will stay with him from now on.

”Thank you for staying with me. I will make you happy.” Lu Jian promised.

”We will see that in future. Don't promise things on your whim.”

She knew that promises were meant to be broken. This was illogical.
