Chapter 71: I Will Not Marry Anyone Else But You

After walking for a while, Yunzhi felt tired, so Nanny Xu took her to a pavilion to rest. At this time, Dongli Lucang walked over.

He had changed into a new set of clothes, making him even more handsome and captivating, causing Yunzhi to find it hard to look away.

Only when she heard Nanny Xu’s greeting did she come back to her senses. However, she didn’t feel embarrassed at all. She looked at Dongli Lucang openly and frankly, then uttered two words: “Handsome!”

“Zhizhi is beautiful too!” Dongli Lucang smiled. Yunzhi possessed a unique and indescribable aura compared to other girls. This aura made people feel comfortable and made her unforgettable at first glance.

“Nanny Xu, you can step back.” Dongli Lucang glanced at Nanny Xu and gave a gentle order.

“Yes!” Nanny Xu responded, bowed to them, and then retreated.

Rumei and Rulan were also observant. Seeing Nanny Xu leave, they also left the pavilion. Soon, only Yunzhi and Dongli Lucang remained in the pavilion. They looked at each other, silent for a moment.

“You…”

“You…”

Yunzhi saw that Dongli Lucang remained silent, opened her mouth to speak, but unexpectedly, Dongli Lucang spoke at the same time.

Their voices sounded at the same time and then stopped simultaneously. For a moment, the awkward atmosphere was somewhat diluted.

“Zhizhi, you speak first.” Dongli Lucang looked at Yunzhi with gentle eyes, a faint smile on his face.

Someone who was already handsome became even more breathtakingly beautiful when he smiled. Yunzhi couldn’t help but look at him a few more times before saying, “You are too serious all the time. You should smile more often.”

“Okay, I’ll listen to Zhizhi.”

Yunzhi laughed at this, saying, “You listen to me in everything. Aren’t you afraid of others saying you are henpecked?”

“Afraid of what? What does it matter to others if I’m henpecked? As long as I’m happy, as long as our husband and wife are in harmony, that’s all that matters.” Dongli Lucang didn’t care at all. Words come from other people’s mouths, he can’t sew them shut. As long as he doesn’t care, what do other people’s words matter?

Just like how they say Yunzhi is a second marriage and not good enough for him, as long as he thinks she is good enough, why bother with those gossips?

“You are quite open-minded.” Yunzhi’s smile deepened. In this era, ninety-nine percent of men are chauvinistic, believing that women should obey them.

After all, the husband is the head of the family, right?

However, this Dongli Lucang is different from those men. He is more open-minded and respectful of women. Perhaps it’s related to his time fighting on the frontier? After all, someone who has seen life and death wouldn’t care about other things.

“If I wasn’t open-minded, how could I marry Zhizhi?” Dongli Lucang looked at Yunzhi and said with a hint of meaning.

Yunzhi was stunned for a moment, then looked at Dongli Lucang and asked, “You figured it out?”

“Yes!” Dongli Lucang felt a little lost and said, “I know Zhizhi doesn’t want to marry me, but I can assure you that I will never be like An Xiuyuan. I will definitely treat you well, love you, cherish you, and protect you. I will never leave you for the rest of my life. I can also assure you that there will be no third person between us besides each other.”

Hearing this, Yunzhi’s expression became serious. She asked, “Have you thought it through? Are you really willing to make a lifelong commitment to me?”

“Yes, from this day forward, I, Dongli Lucang, will not marry anyone else but you. My wife will be no one but you.”

“Okay, remember what you said.” Yunzhi smiled again. It was clear that Dongli Lucang was serious.

If that’s the case, then why not give it a try.
