The Most Loving Marriage In History: Master Mu's Pampered Wife Chapter 1538 – I Will Marry You! (Chapter 4)

Chapter 1538: I Will Marry You! (4)

Dongfang Liuyun was startled when she heard that, and there was a hint of reluctance in her eyes for a moment.

She could not give him an answer.

Lan Xiu looked at her as she remained quiet. His eyes gradually darkened and he broke into a smile. However, his smile seemed desolate. He was silent for a while and he finally continued, “You’ve never had feelings for me and you don’t love me, so it’ll be unfair to force ourselves to do it.”

“I just want you to remember that no matter what, I’ll always be there for you, Dongfang Liuyun. We will always be each other’s confidant, and that’s enough…” Lan Xiu said. Although he sounded lonely, saying so made him feel better.

Lan Xiu had always been very clear about his feelings and admiration towards Dongfang Liuyun, but a woman like her might not choose someone like him. Forcing her would only change the relationship between them, or he might even lose her…

He would do anything for the person he loved, which was her, and only for her. However…

When Dongfang Liuyun saw Lan Xiu’s gloomy expression, she forced a smile and turned to look at the fountain beside her. “I’m sorry, Lan Xiu. It was just wishful thinking, and I shouldn’t drag you into it. I never thought about using you. It’s just…”

She did not go on. Even after a long wait, Dongfang Liuyun did not continue.

“No, Liuyun, it’s not wishful thinking. I just hope that we can be more cautious. Sometimes, when things change, they can never go back. No matter where you go, you’ll always be the closest person to me…”

“Just like a brother?” Dongfang Liuyun asked as she turned to look at him.

Lan Xiu paused for a while, but he nodded and smiled bitterly. “Yes, just like a brother and a sister. But besides that, we’ve still been best friends for many years, and nothing will change the relationship between us. In the years to come, we’ll still be the same. That’s what I hope for.”

As Dongfang Liuyun listened, she suddenly fixed her gaze and stared at him in a daze. After staring at him for a long time, she looked away and sighed. “I understand. There’s no need to explain. I understand your intentions, and I know I’m very fortunate. Anyway, you should go back first. I need some time alone.”

“Liuyun…” Lan Xiu whispered, “No matter what, I wish you happiness, but I can’t…marry you. Forgive my selfishness because I’m afraid that once I marry you, I’ll lose you forever…”

Dongfang Liuyun did not reply, but she seemed to have calmed down a little. “Then, let’s stay just like this. Now, go back and let me have some time alone. Don’t worry.”

“Liuyun, you…” Lan Xiu could not conceal the worry in his dark eyes. He looked at her silently and stopped in his tracks.

“Go back,” she repeated calmly as she closed her eyes and leaned back quietly without saying anything.

Lan Xiu looked at her for a long time and finally sighed. “Things may not be as bad as you think. At least, Uncle Dongfang won’t force you to marry Fujiwara.”

However, Dongfang Liuyun did not say anything. She simply closed her eyes and sat quietly.

“I know you’re in a bad mood, Liuyun, but I hope you can be more sensible, and there’ll always be a way. I’ll head back first, and I’ll come to meet you again when you feel better. You must take care of yourself. Call me if there’s anything, okay?” Lan Xiu said before he headed to his car. He looked at her worriedly for a while, but in the end, he sighed and drove away.

When Dongfang Liuyun heard the sound of his car driving away, she slowly opened her eyes and watched the silhouette of the car leaving until it disappeared in the traffic ahead. She continued watching it in a daze for a long time before finally looking away.

The pain from her stomach suddenly felt apparent when it was quiet. The surroundings suddenly became dead silent, and the stillness felt oddly suffocating.

She thought she should be able to live more freely, and she had almost forgotten the life she would be forced to live in the future.

She did not want to be trapped in this bubble. Many people in her family had been sacrificed, but she had tried hard to break away from this fate. However, human beings were infinitely small in the face of fate, and she was no exception.

She did not dare to imagine her own future. The future she could foresee was probably the same as her aunt, Dongfang Xue…

Her heart felt heavy thinking about it, and that was why she was never one who liked to dream and be reminiscent.

She combed through her silky hair with her fingers. Finally, she covered her face with her hands and crouched down. All she wanted was to capture the tranquillity of this moment…

However, there seemed to be a faint fresh scent from the evening breeze and it smelled familiar. Before she knew it, there were footsteps coming from her front at a steady pace. She moved her hands away slightly and saw a pair of bright, clean leather shoes standing in front of her.

Her gaze froze for a moment and then followed the man’s trousers up until she saw the calm, handsome face in front of her.

Qi Lei?

“Why’re you here?”

She could not hide the surprise in her eyes as her gaze met his deep eyes.

He seemed relaxed with one hand in his pocket and the other in his suit. He was looking at her and was relieved when he saw her expression slowly at ease.

“That man isn’t that great. If you want to get married, why don’t you consider me?” Qi Lei said earnestly as he looked at her and pondered for a long time.

When Qi Lei said that, Dongfang Liuyun was startled and did not know how to react. Her beautiful eyes widened, and she looked at him quietly. “What did you just say?”

“I said, if you’re willing, I’ll marry you! Anyway, I’ve always had feelings for you. I’d be elated if the story in the game can come true. Also, I think I’m better than that man just now, so if you have to, you should consider me first!”
