Transmigrated into a goddess from another world, and criticized the King of Yan for loving her like

Su Qingci stared at Lu Huan quietly, with a hint of confusion and suspicion in his eyes.

It was as if he wanted to penetrate his deep eyes and explore the truth behind his words.

It is true that his official rank is higher than Pei Ji's now, but his wealth and honor were gained at the risk of danger. If he is not careful, he may lose his life.

It is naturally safer to choose Pei Ji. Pei Ji is the eldest son. As long as he is not a playboy with no ambition, he will definitely inherit the title in the future.

But at this moment, what she wanted to know more was whether what Lu Huan said was true or false.

She didn't want to be moved, so she nodded to agree to him. However, Lu Huan said sarcastically that he was just lying to her and that he never liked her at all. He just couldn't stand her deliberately getting close to Pei Ji, so he treated her like this.

A long series of imaginary scenes emerged in her mind, and she felt a little resistant.

She could allow herself to be deceived by others, but not by him. Maybe it was because she had expectations of him, she thought.

Lu Huan leaned very close, the atmosphere was full of ambiguity and tension, "Are you willing? Say something."

She really couldn't figure out what he was thinking at the moment, because his words made no sense and left her confused.

"What do you want?"

Lu Huan looked extremely focused and said solemnly, "Marry me."

"are you willing?"

Hearing this, Su Qingci's eyes widened and his face was full of astonishment.

She couldn't believe what she heard; this sudden proposal was totally unexpected to her.

She pushed Lu Huan away with all her strength, a wave of shyness and embarrassment welling up on her face. She quickly turned her back to him and said, "How can you be so careless about marriage? Since ancient times, it has always been the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. How can you speak nonsense like this!"

Although she tried her best to refute him, her earlobes couldn't help but blush, which seemed to reveal the shyness and panic in her heart.

Lu Huan sneered: "Parents' orders, matchmaker's words? Do you want to wait for Su Songqi to marry you off casually?"

After a pause, he continued, "Or have you not learned your lesson from the last incident in the Eastern Palace?" There was a hint of urgency in his voice.

……

Of course Su Qingci didn't want that. How could she be willing to let others control her life?

She could be unconvinced, but what about Lu Huan? Could it be that his father didn't care about his marriage?

Since ancient times, the marriage of children has been decided by their parents. How can he make the decision himself?

Su Qingci turned around and looked at Lu Huan, his eyes fixed on his, and asked with mixed emotions, "What about you?"

"Can you decide your own marriage? Doesn't your father care?"

Lu Huan shook his head slightly, seemingly disagreeing.

His tone was nonchalant and full of confidence as he said, "It doesn't matter whether he agrees or not."

"He has to agree even if he wants to. It's no use if he doesn't agree."

Su Qingci: "What nonsense are you talking about? Stop joking!"

Lu Huan: "He will agree, I promise."

He pulled Su Qingci's wrist, held it in his hand and squeezed it hard, "Just tell me if you're willing or not."

"Don't worry about other things. As long as you agree, everything will be easy."

Su Qingci lowered his head silently, and after a long while, he squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "I... don't want to."

Lu Huan's whole body was shaken, and the relaxation he had just felt was gone. He hurriedly asked in panic, "Why?"

When Su Qingci raised her head again, there was more determination in her eyes, and less tenderness and affection. "You are a military commander. Swords have no eyes on the battlefield. You never know when you may not come back."

"So...so."

Lu Huan paused, then suddenly smiled, "Are you hoping that I'll die? How cruel."

……

Su Qingci hurriedly said with a hint of embarrassment: "That's not what I meant, it's just..."

Lu Huan smiled and said, "I understand. I was just joking."

"You mean - if I can't come back one day, no one will be able to protect you and your mother anymore, right?"

"You're worried about that, aren't you?"

Su Qingci looked at him steadily. For the first time, she felt that he was so considerate.

"Yes." She said very sincerely.

"Don't worry about that." His voice was low and firm, as if it contained endless power.

"I will support you." These words were like a warm current, giving her an unprecedented sense of security.

Su Qingci couldn't help but widen his eyes, looking at the man in front of him in disbelief, and couldn't help but ask, "What backing?"

"I will leave behind a group of capable secret guards to secretly protect you and your mother. If I go out to fight, I will also send people to monitor Su Songqi's every move."

Hearing this, Su Qingci's heartbeat involuntarily quickened a few beats. She had never thought that Lu Huan could be so considerate and thoughtful.

However, what shocked her even more was yet to come. Lu Huan stared into her eyes and said solemnly, "If he dares to do anything harmful to you and your mother, I will not hesitate to order the secret guards to eliminate him in secret."

At this moment, Su Qingci was completely stunned. This was the first time she saw Lu Huan's fierce and decisive side.

He looked sick and crazy, "Qingci, I'll help you kill him, okay?"

The words that came out of his mouth were totally unlike him, "When do you want to kill him? Now, or after we get married?"

"When he dies, how about bringing my mother-in-law to live with us? I'm sure my mother will be happy too."

"how do you feel?"

Su Qingci couldn't help but take a breath, stared at him for a long time with eyes wide open, and didn't know how to say it when the words came to her lips.

"I was just trying to scare you. Are you really scared?" He chuckled, seeming a little surprised by her reaction.

Su Qingci restrained his expression and said slowly, "Don't say it next time."

Lu Huan spoke in a gentle voice, without changing his expression, "Of course. Do you think killing people is so easy?"

Su Qingci listened without saying anything, but he became suspicious.

"Okay, let's not talk about this one. What about the other one?"

Lu Huan took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to ask again: "Will you marry me?"

"I will use all my strength to protect you and your mother, so that you can live a safe and trouble-free life."

Hearing this, Su Qingci fell into deep thought.

After a while, she raised her head and looked directly into Lu Huan's eyes and asked softly, "Can you really protect us all our lives?" There was a hint of doubt and uneasiness in her words.

Lu Huan met her gaze without hesitation, his eyes as firm as a rock: "Yes."

His answer was brief but powerful, a promise to Su Qingci.

This didn't seem to be a difficult thing for him.

However, Su Qingci was not easily convinced.

She continued to ask, "What if you can't?" This question left Lu Huan speechless for a moment. He stared into the distance silently, thinking about the answer in his heart.

After a long time, Lu Huan finally broke the silence.

He said slowly: "Then I will take a step back and send you to the person you think can protect you and your daughter for the rest of your life. I am willing to let you go, is that okay?"

His tone was calm and sincere, revealing a sense of helplessness and compromise.

Su Qingci looked at Lu Huan quietly and noticed that the expression on his face was not a fake one.

After some careful consideration, she finally nodded slightly to show her agreement.

At this point, Su Qingci knew he had no choice.

She had just met Pei Ji and if she wanted to build up a relationship with him, it would probably take some time.

In contrast, Lu Huan showed such a firm determination to marry her at this moment, and was willing to take the initiative to discuss the matter with his family, even with a sense of desperation, and seemed to be quite serious.

Thinking of this, Su Qingci felt a little calmer.

Perhaps this is the most feasible solution at present...

……

Lu Huan tightly grasped the exquisite brocade sachet in his hand, as if it was the most precious treasure in the world.

He stared at Su Qingci and asked softly, "So, can you tell me now, who is this sachet intended for?"

Before he finished speaking, the driver skillfully controlled the horses and stopped the carriage steadily.

The driver said respectfully, "Master, we have arrived at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion."

This sentence was like a perfect rain, making Su Qingci feel as if he had been pardoned.

She hurriedly threw down a simple word "you", and got off the carriage impatiently. Without even looking back, she hurriedly ran towards the mansion.

Lu Huan sat quietly in the carriage, his eyes always fixed on the sachet in his hand, his eyes full of tenderness and attachment.

He smelled the lingering fragrance on the sachet, and seemed to still recall Su Qingci's shyness.

As Su Qingci's departing figure gradually disappeared from his sight, Lu Huan slowly closed his eyes, a complex emotion welling up in his heart.

Only he himself knew how much effort and hard work it took to get to this point today, to make her see him and notice him.

If she hadn't made an appointment with Pei Ji to have dinner together today, she would have gone to hook up with other men.

Thinking of this, Lu Huan slowly clenched the hand holding the sachet into a fist and clenched it. The joints were clearly visible, and it could be seen how much strength he used.
