Chapter 239 Chu Rong Confesses His Love!
Mu Xin Nuan was slightly taken aback, not quite understanding what Chu Rong meant by that!
"what?"
"It was Prince Chang Le who put pressure on you secretly, wasn't it? It must be him! Ah Nuan, I truly love you. We've known each other for so long, can't you see through my feelings?"
“Young Master Chu, how many times do I have to tell you before you understand? We are truly not a good match! My feelings for you are nothing more than those of a brother and sister, with no romantic feelings whatsoever.”
“Anuan, you’re only fourteen. What do you know about the feelings between men and women? Don’t talk to me about brotherly and sisterly affection. I’m not your brother, and you’re not my sister! You are the person I care about, the person I’ve chosen to be my wife.”
Chu Rong's straightforward confession made Mu Xin Nuan realize that she had seriously underestimated Chu Rong's persistence.
"Chu Rong, why do you have to do this?" Mu Xin Nuan took a deep breath, turned around, and looked him in the eye without flinching.
"To tell you the truth, Chu Rong, I am not as you appear on the surface. I am not gentle, generous, or demure! In fact, I am quite wicked, ruthless, and cunning. Chu Rong, tell me, is this Mu Xin Nuan still the one you've always cared about? Don't you think you've misjudged people?"
Chu Rong was first startled by her sudden change of attitude, and then stunned by her words!
After a long while, a slight smile finally appeared on his lips. "Anuan, are you finally willing to tell me the truth? Don't you want to wear a mask in front of me anymore?"
This time, Mu Xin Nuan was dumbfounded!
What is he saying? Didn't he hear what I just said? What is he trying to do?
“Anuan, I know you are smart and clever, and I also know you have too many secrets. I’m not in a hurry! I can wait until you are willing to tell me every single word!”
Mu Xin Nuan was completely dumbfounded at this moment!
What happened? How did things get to this point?
Shouldn't he have thought she was too cunning and distanced himself from her? Shouldn't he have thought she was ruthless and unfit to be a good wife? But instead, she received a different kind of heartfelt confession from him.
"Wait a minute! Chu Rong, did you even understand what I just said?"
"Of course! I understand what you mean. Ah Nuan, no matter what kind of Mu Xin Nuan you are, you are still the Mu Xin Nuan I love! I know you have suffered a lot before, I know that the concubine in your family tried her best to harm you, and I also know that your sister is not easy to get along with!"
Chu Rong's gaze held a menacing intensity. "I also know that after the second branch of your Mu family returned to the capital, they tried to bully and deceive you and your aunt. Anuan, I know all of this. Whatever you did, it was to protect yourself, and there's nothing wrong with that!"
Mu Xin Nuan shook her head, her expression one of disbelief. "Chu Rong, do you even know what you're saying? I said I'm wicked! I have many vicious methods, didn't you hear me?"
"No! That's not malice! Born into a wealthy family, how many people have completely clean hands? This is the real Ah Nuan! This is the Ah Nuan I've always wanted to understand, the Ah Nuan I've always wanted to see!"
Chu Rong's expression was somewhat dreamy. "Anuan, I'm not a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child anymore, so I know that some things can't be judged simply by what we see! This applies to things, and it also applies to people! Anuan, I like you, no matter what you are like, I like you!"
Mu Xin Nuan's mouth opened slightly, as if she had been greatly shocked. Her mind went blank, and she seemed not to know how to react!
She just couldn't understand it. If it were a normal person, wouldn't their impression of her be much worse after hearing what she said? Wouldn't they avoid her like the plague? How could she act as if she had figured things out and was willing to open her heart to him?
"Anuan, you're only fourteen, not yet of marriageable age. I'm not in a hurry, and you're not allowed to be either!" Chu Rong said very solemnly.
"Chu Rong, what do you mean by this?" Mu Xin Nuan asked in a panic. Chu Rong looked rather terrifying in this state!
"Anuan, as long as you are unmarried, I still have a chance! Even if you don't agree to my marriage this time, I will not give up!"
Just as Mu Xin Nuan was about to speak, Chu Rong unexpectedly raised his left hand, making a gesture as if to swear an oath, and then actually swore, "I, Chu Rong of Dayong, will marry no one but Mu Xin Nuan in this life. If I have any other thoughts, may I be struck by lightning!"
boom!
Mu Xin Nuan felt as if something had exploded in her mind, and suddenly she didn't know where she was or who she was facing!
He won't marry anyone but her?
How could this be? How could Chu Rong, the legitimate son of a mighty general, make such a solemn oath?
Chu Rong watched with satisfaction as Mu Xin Nuan was startled, a slight smile playing on his lips. He then spoke softly, "A Nuan, I'm not joking. In this lifetime, I will only marry you! If I break this vow, I will…!"
The words were interrupted by Mu Xin Nuan's outstretched hand!
In that instant, Chu Rong felt as if time had stood still!
Everything was gone! Only he and Mu Xin Nuan remained in this world. There was no one else, no other things. Everything existed solely around the two of them!
Mu Xin Nuan's soft fingertips touched his lips with a slight warmth, and Chu Rong suddenly felt something surging and churning in his heart! So-called happiness is probably nothing more than this.
Chu Rong even felt that, in that instant, he would be willing to die!
Mu Xin Nuan felt the warm breath emanating from Chu Rong's nose on her fingertips, and her cheeks immediately flushed red. She quickly withdrew her hand and turned away awkwardly. "Chu Rong, you, you mustn't misunderstand. I didn't mean anything by it. I was just thinking, you're a military general! How can you make your oath so casually?"
"so?"
"Chu Rong, you, you shouldn't have done this!" Mu Xin Nuan hadn't fully recovered from the shock just now, her mind was still a little blank. It shouldn't have been like this! She even began to despise herself. How could she be so spineless?
"Anuan, are you worried about me?"
Mu Xin Nuan was slightly taken aback, then shook her head, "No!" After saying that, she felt it was inappropriate, feeling that it was too hurtful, so she nodded again. But then she felt that this would give Chu Rong hope, which was unkind, so she shook her head again.
Her repeated actions caused Chu Rong to furrow his brows, but in the end, he still smiled brightly!
"I understand! Actually, you have feelings for me too, right?"
