Chapter 34: Proposing to Her

  The full moon is in the sky, and the half-moon seems to have a strange color.

  Wen Ren Yi sat quietly in front of the bed, looking at her with an unfathomable gaze. His right hand rested on his knee, and his eyes were calm, as if lost in thought.

  On the table was a bowl of steaming medicine, and in a box were the finest local porridge and honeyed fruits. The man's gaze swept over the objects on the table, his eyebrows furrowed as if stained with the snow of early winter, carrying a faint chill. The moonlight shone brightly on the bed, sparse and cold. All that could be seen was that the dragon-shaped clasp on his outer robe remained unfastened, revealing the scar on his neck. The temperature in the man's eyes remained cool, he slowly picked up the celadon medicine bowl, lowered his head and took a mouthful of the thick medicine.

  Pinching her chin with his fingertips, he then covered her lips and slowly transferred the medicinal liquid into her mouth.

  Su Mo stared blankly at the man right in front of her, she was clearly still not fully unconscious, yet he actually used this method to feed her medicine.

  Unfortunately, she had been struck by him at all her vital points and was now just regaining consciousness but still unable to resist.

  She even suspected that the man was deliberately retaliating against her... At first on Evil Island, she had also intentionally pressed his acupoints.

  But to say that the progress of the two is indeed strange, a month ago they didn't have any intersection at all, and even more so with swords drawn, their relationship wasn't harmonious either, now they are already sitting intimately on a couch together.

  Right before his eyes, a clear scar appeared between his collarbones.

  Su Mo knew he had deliberately exposed his scars in front of her.

  It was as if every moment reminded her of how inhumane she had been to him at first.

  For some reason, although they didn't say a word, their hearts often had a tacit understanding, knowing each other's intentions.

  She and he are both intelligent people, so she can deeply understand his intentions in every word and action.

  At the same time, she felt the bitterness of the medicine in her mouth, as well as the cool breath between the man's lips, which was repeatedly sent into her mouth.

  Just a moment ago he was still shyly stealing kisses from her, now after some deliberation in his heart, he quickly fell in love with this intimate and affectionate feeling.

  Su Mo finally discovered that this man was cold and ruthless on the surface, but in reality, he delighted in taking advantage of others' misfortunes.

  Before long, the bowl of medicine was empty.

  His eyes shone like stars, and he let out a satisfied sigh, saying slowly: "Miss Su, you're great, really great. You're the first woman to hurt me so much, and also the first woman to get so close to me."

  Su Mo's eyes blinked with a bitter expression, she didn't expect him to say such words to her, and suddenly felt a little confused.

  He then picked up the clear porridge beside him, and slowly fed it to her mouth with a spoon, his eyes flowing with a hint of sincerity. His gaze was gentle as he said, "Miss Su, there are some things that need to be said slowly, I don't know why, but I feel like we've known each other for a long time. That's why I'm willing to get close to you like this, everything I do is not impulsive, but rather the result of careful consideration, in short, don't be surprised."

  Listening to these words, Su Mo's face was expressionless, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes and a slight curl at the corner of his mouth.

  What is this? Is he telling her that he's a decent guy?

  Once there is a first time, there will be a second time, and it will continue again and again.

  To be honest, he didn't give her that impression at first, so what's the intention behind this move now?

  However, he sat quietly there, his eyes fixed on her and didn't say a word.

  His deep and black eyes stared at Su Mo, unwavering for a moment, before he spoke softly: "Miss Su, many people in this world fear me, but you are the only one who dares to look me straight in the eye, dares to sit with me as equals. So being with Miss Su feels very comfortable, sometimes it even feels like we're close friends with a deep understanding."

  Friend? Su Mo's eyebrows furrowed involuntarily, would friends feed each other medicine like that?

  Will he and Yu Ran be together? Will they or won't they?

  To sum it up, this is really not a funny joke!

  But all he saw was the handsome face of the man, expressionless, and said lightly: "I was born in the royal family of Qi, but I have never felt what is affection, friendship, love, even what I see and hear are people's flattery. My mother was very loyal to marriage back then, but was hurt until she was left with nothing. All along, I had no expectation of love, but couldn't help but marry. As for me, I don't have any requirements for women, as long as I feel like it, that's fine, of course, they must be smart enough, and you just happen to meet this point."

  At this moment, he looked at her sincerely and slowly said: "Of course, between you and me, what should be seen has been seen, what shouldn't be seen has also been seen, what should be moved has been moved, what should be kissed has been kissed, what should be touched has been touched. So I will take responsibility for you seriously. If you are willing to go further with me on the basis of friendship, if you are willing to become my fiancée, Wen Renyi, I will protect you for a lifetime."

  Only his voice was faintly heard, as if it were a wisp of fog floating on the riverbank.

  So gentle, without a hint of hypocrisy.

  It even gives people a faint thrill.

  Su Mo's eyebrows furrowed involuntarily, his mind deep in thought. Why did he want to say these things to her?

  Is he proposing? She flashed a puzzled look in her eyes, her mind slightly dazed, and she couldn't believe it.

  Sometimes the more perfect a man appears on the surface, the harder it is to figure out what's inside.

  The man pursed his thin lips, and his handsome face showed no emotion. He continued, "If you're not willing, it doesn't matter. To be honest, I have some secrets that I still can't tell you. The people from the royal family want me to go back and get married, but their purpose is not so simple. They want to take advantage of the opportunity to imprison me, so I won't let them succeed. This is another reason why I'm proposing to you, because I need a fiancée who can shut up all the gossip."

  Listening to his words and looking at his jade-carved cold side profile, she seemed to feel a chill in his heart.

  Actually, his life was not as carefree and limitless as it seemed on the surface.

  She remembered that in his previous life he had not married but became a killing god feared by all.

  Never in a million years would she have thought that this ruthless and cold-blooded killer god would actually propose to her.

  Just as Su Mo was deep in thought, Wen Renyi's eyes shone brightly like the moon and he spoke again: "In short, you are a person of Eastling Wei, even if you don't want to really become my fiancée, you can temporarily be my fiancée. I won't interfere with your affairs too much, and I will also protect you completely. However, can you lend me the Heavenly Book for use? I really need this thing."

  However, after hearing his words, Su Mo felt a bit melancholy in her heart, thinking that the man's thoughts were actually on calculating the heavenly book, but also feeling that it should be so.

  It turned out that he indeed had an ulterior motive. So what did he take her as? A tool to be used at his convenience?

  At this time, Su Mo's face was suppressing an unwilling expression, and there was an indescribable feeling in his heart.

  A chill ran from his heart down to his toes, icy and unfeeling, devoid of any warmth.

  She even forgot that when she wanted to negotiate with him at first, these things were irrelevant.

  At this moment, the man slightly bowed his head, his elegant and cool face expressionless, his voice neither fast nor slow, his low and husky tone lingering in her ear, "I know you must think I'm using you? But I've never used my own woman, however, I need the heavenly book because I'm waiting for it to save a life!" He paused for a moment before continuing, "However, I sincerely hope you can help me this once, regardless of whether you're willing to be with me or not, but I hope you can be my fiancée and stay by my side, rather than just pretending."

  As he spoke, he straightened up and said: "Miss Su, I hope you will consider it seriously."

  As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly acted strangely and didn't stay there any longer. He turned around abruptly and left swiftly.

  However, Su Mo gazed coldly at his figure, looking at the silver hairband floating behind him. The fluttering figure gritted his teeth in silence. This man had not let her say a word from start to finish, and he was really too overbearing.

  Wen Renyifei quickly left the house, and Bing Hu immediately jumped onto his shoulder, making a "hiss" sound with his nose.

  She turned her eyes and saw that Yun Yi's face was indeed slightly red, his earlobes were red, and his lower abdomen was already burning with fire. He said in a low voice: "You come to mock me that the effect of Qingxin Dan has passed, your own willpower has retreated a lot, if you wait any longer, you can't help but become a beast?"

  The ice fox nodded and made a "hiss" sound at the corner of its mouth, stretching out its paws to make a few gestures.

  Wen Renyi glanced sideways, "You say I proposed to her, just to be a beast in the name of legitimacy?"

  The ice fox nodded again, and the man's fingertips unconsciously stroked his thin lips. He thought of the moment when he had just fed the girl medicine, took a deep breath, and his eyes gradually became like water, bringing out some faint warmth and gentleness.

  But he saw his mouth corners raised a very shallow arc, and said in a low voice: "What you said is not wrong, I really want to be a beast."
