Chapter 122 Will You Marry Me?
After a while, just when Ruohan thought Lu Jinyan had fallen asleep and was about to carry her back to rest, Lu Jinyan suddenly spoke.
"So cold!"
"Hmm? I'm here! What's wrong, Jin'er? Are you feeling unwell? Shall I take you back to rest?" Ruohan thought Lu Jinyan was feeling unwell because she had drunk too much, so he tightened the cloak on Lu Jinyan's body, afraid that the person in his arms would get cold.
"I don't want to, I'm not going back!" Lu Jinyan snuggled closer to Ruohan, saying somewhat angrily.
"Alright, alright, I won't go back!" Ruohan sighed, thinking to herself that she would just coax her to sleep before sending her back.
"Hanhan!" Lu Jinyan called softly.
"Yes, I'm here!" Ruohan replied softly.
"Hanhan, will you leave me?" Lu Jinyan looked up at Ruohan's chin and asked.
"No, didn't we just stamp it? Since we stamped it, I will never leave Jin'er in this lifetime, unless I die, or Jin'er doesn't want me anymore." Ruohan answered firmly and seriously. Since he had chosen Lu Jinyan, it could only be her and could only be her, unless he died, unless Lu Jinyan didn't want him anymore, he would not leave her.
"What if there's someone else in my life? You still won't leave me?" Lu Jinyan's voice was very soft, so soft that it was almost inaudible if you didn't listen carefully, but Ruohan still heard it. He sighed almost imperceptibly and said, "That depends on whether Jin'er still has me in her heart!"
"What if someone else comes into my life, and I still like you, but I also like him?" Lu Jinyan kept her head up, waiting for Ruohan's answer.
Ruohan looked down at the person in her arms. The person in her arms seemed to become nervous after asking that question, so nervous that her body stiffened, but she herself didn't realize it. Ruohan just looked at her quietly for a long time.
His mind was racing, recalling everything that had happened since the day he first met Lu Jinyan. He was thinking very carefully and thoroughly. Just when Lu Jinyan thought he wouldn't answer, Ruohan spoke.
"As long as Jin'er has me in her heart, that's enough. As for others, they are not important to me. As long as Jin'er doesn't leave me, I will always be here!" Ruohan thought she was referring to Lingyuan.
Actually, he had been thinking about this question ever since she bought Lingyuan back today. He wondered if Lu Jinyan would fall in love with someone else, would he still want to stay? Could he still stay?
But the thought of leaving her caused him great pain. He couldn't leave her side; he couldn't do it. He wanted to stay with her, to stay with her forever.
But she wasn't his property; she had her own thoughts and choices, which he couldn't control.
That's why he's drinking alone here, not knowing what to do. Just now, when Lu Jinyan said to him, "I like you too," when he saw the person in his arms stiffen up because of nervousness, and when he saw her bright eyes slowly dim because he hesitated and didn't answer her, he was filled with a sense of loss.
He understood. He didn't want to see those bright eyes dim, he didn't want to hurt or disappoint her. He knew she liked him, and that was enough; nothing else mattered. Nothing else really did matter. All he ever wanted was to be by her side.
When he first realized his feelings for her, he thought that if Lu Jinyan liked him in the future, he would be with her and stay by her side. If she didn't like him, he would be a friend and silently protect her, as long as she was happy.
Liking or loving someone doesn't necessarily mean you have to possess them. Seeing them happy and content is enough. Now that he knows she likes him too, that's enough.
Marrying is not uncommon, and it's quite common in the demon realm. So when Lu Jinyan asked that question, he understood that she didn't want to get married; she wanted to marry a husband. In that case, he would marry her.
"Hanhan, aren't you angry? Don't you think I'm fickle and a bad woman?" Lu Jinyan tilted her head, somewhat confused. Shouldn't he be angry?
She was angry that she had been unfaithful, angry that she didn't like him enough, angry that she was fickle and wanted to share her beloved with someone else. But why wasn't he angry?
"Silly girl, why should I be angry? Jin'er has her own freedom. Besides, Jin'er likes me, doesn't she? As long as you like me, that's enough. Jin'er doesn't want to get married, so how about I marry you? Jin'er, are you willing to marry me?" Ruohan pinched Lu Jinyan's face affectionately.
Once he figured some things out, everything became clear. Although he also wanted to have Lu Jinyan all to himself, he knew that his Jin'er was too outstanding and would attract many outstanding men in the future. So what should he do then? Should he force her to choose between him and others?
He didn't want it to be like this. He didn't want to disappoint or upset her. Rather than that, he would rather make the choice himself. As long as he could stay by her side, that would be enough, wouldn't it?
Lu Jinyan felt a warm sensation in her chest and her eyes stung a little.
"Okay, I'll marry you!" Lu Jinyan had a thousand words she wanted to say, but in the end she could only say this one sentence, and a tear rolled down her cheek.
She didn't know why she was crying, but she just really wanted to cry, so she did. Seeing her tears, Ruohan felt heartbroken and quickly reached out to wipe them away, gently coaxing her as she did so, "Then I'll wait for Jin'er to come and marry me? Jin'er, you mustn't go back on your word. Don't forget what you said today after you've had a few drinks!"
"No way, I'm not drunk. Didn't we already seal the deal? Don't worry, I won't forget. I promised you, I'm going to marry you!" Lu Jinyan sniffed, patted her chest, and assured her that she wouldn't forget and would definitely keep her word.
Ruohan smiled without saying a word. He looked at the person in his arms, thinking to himself that if you forget when you sober up tomorrow, he would just remind you again.
The two of them stayed in the garden for a while longer. Lu Jinyan started fussing about wanting to drink again, so Ruohan had no choice but to give her a small cup of wine before coaxing her to sleep.
As if she had finally resolved a major concern, Lu Jinyan fell asleep in Ruohan's arms. After confirming that Lu Jinyan was asleep, Ruohan picked her up. He originally intended to take her back, but Lu Jinyan clung tightly to his collar and refused to let go. In the end, he had no choice but to carry her back to his own courtyard.
